After I Transmigrated Into a Book, I Fell for My Favorite Side Character

[Ding, ding, ding! New Upcoming Novel: The Hated Brat Becomes His Eunuch's Beloved. Blurb at the end]

Blurb:

A slow-to-understand duke x a high-and-mighty cabinet minister driven to madness

Ning Zeshu has recently become obsessed with Ming Ruohan, a supporting character in an ancient political intrigue novel.

He is a high-ranking cabinet minister, cold and ruthless in politics, domineering in his actions, and unmoved by personal feelings.

Ning Zeshu admires his independent nature so much that even after being diagnosed with cancer, he keeps reading the book.

But then Ming Ruohan suddenly disappears from the story. Ning Zeshu spits out a mouthful of blood and closes his eyes forever.

When he opens them again, he has become a cannon-fodder minor villain in the book, with the same name and even the same appearance.

Ning Zeshu: What? I can meet Ming Ruohan?!

But things are nowhere near as simple as he imagined.

The first time Ming Ruohan sees him, his manner is cold, his eyes full of disgust.

Under pressure, Ning Zeshu tactfully expresses his delight. "I've heard so much about you, sir. I'm happy you came to see me as soon as I arrived in Jiangnan."

Ming Ruohan says nothing and turns to leave.

To change his opinion of him, Ning Zeshu tries everything he can think of.

But all he gets in return are Ming Ruohan's cold looks and cutting words.

Dejected, he drifts from one banquet to another, drinking until his eyes grow hazy.

Then a commotion breaks out. Someone grabs his wrist, and Ning Zeshu meets the stern, dark eyes of the man before him.

"Ning Zeshu, do you insist on making me angry?"

Ning Zeshu can't understand him and forcibly shakes off his hand. "Please show some respect, Minister Ming."

"Respect? I'll show you what respect is."

Only when he's thrown onto a bed, pinned down, and kissed hard does Ning Zeshu finally understand what those words meant. But by then, it's too late.

Upcoming novel: The Hated Brat Becomes His Eunuch's Beloved

A ruthless, smiling, real eunuch x a spoiled, headstrong young master who says whatever's on his mind

Blurb:

Huan Jiuling is unlucky enough to transmigrate into a book, where he becomes a dim-witted cannon-fodder character whom everyone hates.

The original Huan Jiuling was born into a merchant family. Complications during his birth left him somewhat slow-witted.

As a child, his peers pointed at him and laughed.

As a teenager, people tricked him into taking the blame for all kinds of misdeeds.

As a young man, he went to school, where his classmates egged him on to recite a poem mocking eunuchs.

As luck would have it, the poem reached the ears of a powerful eunuch. With a sinister smile, he immediately ordered Huan Jiuling to serve in his residence.

Huan Jiuling transmigrates into the book on the very day he's sent to the eunuch's residence.

Huan Jiuling: Is it too late to run?

On his first day in the eunuch's residence, Huan Jiuling plans to behave himself and observe the situation.

But then

"You're the little bastard who insulted the eunuch? You expect me to serve you? Keep dreaming. Get over there and wash that pile of dirty clothes!"

Huan Jiuling: Who do you think you are?! Even my parents never made me wash clothes!

So he cries, throws a tantrum, and threatens to hang himself, carrying on until he gets in front of the eunuch.

The eunuch has few good qualities, though being handsome just about counts. They say anyone who offends him and gets on his nerves ends up dead.

Huan Jiuling: I don't care. You can beat me to death, but I won't wash anyone's clothes in winter!

The next moment, a chilling voice with a hint of amusement rings above his head. "Are you looking to die?"

Huan Jiuling grits his teeth. Before he can get out, "So what if I am?" he sees

The eunuch's cold, sinister gaze has passed over him and settled on the servant who insisted he wash clothes in the dead of winter.

Huan Jiuling: ???

Though he doesn't understand why, the eunuch indulges him for no apparent reason. Huan Jiuling lives up to expectations, becoming more and more brazen until he can no longer hide his spoiled nature.

At a spring banquet, Huan Jiuling's classmates hear about it and show up, expecting to see him make a fool of himself.

Flowers bloom thickly, leaves cast deep shade, and a delicate fragrance fills the air. In a secluded spot along a winding path, the dim-witted young man they haven't seen in ages sits sideways on the lap of a handsome man. The man holds a plump, round grape to his lips.

But Huan Jiuling frowns, turns his head, and pouts. "This isn't fresh anymore. I won't eat it. Eunuch, peel me a fresh one."

Everyone: !!!

In this life, countless people hate Zhao Yong, but only a handful survive long enough to fight him to the end.

When he first came to Jiangnan to supervise the construction of the embankment, he soon heard someone had written a poem insulting him.

Zhao Yong knows scholars are the most principled of people, so he comes up with the cruel idea of forcing the offender to serve in his residence.

He plans to find an excuse to kill him after a while.

Who could have known the young man would be so delicate and pampered, like a kitten?

He even feels like one to touch. Somehow, he eases the headaches that have plagued Zhao Yong for years, calming the murderous urges boiling within him.

So Zhao Yong raises Huan Jiuling like a willful cat.

He never expected that, as he raised him, the cat would grow bolder and bolder, crawling into his bed every day.

Zhao Yong has no choice. He can only spoil him.
