Blurb: [Save my upcoming novel, The Substitute Doesn't Want a Crematorium Reunion!]
Xia Yi died and was bound to a quick transmigration System.
As long as he traveled to different worlds and played a cannon-fodder scum gong who pushed the romance between the male lead gong and shou forward, he would earn a chance to be reborn.
A good kid with no romantic experience who blushed whenever he spoke to someone was dumbfounded. "You mean you want me to play with other people's feelings? I think you got the wrong person..."
Looking at the pure-hearted young man with bright eyes and white teeth before it, the System smiled confidently. [Don't worry, you're absolutely up to the task!]
Innocent Xia Yi believed it and tried his best to become a heartbreakingly doomed love rat.
But for some reason, the main plot of every little world he visited went completely off the rails.
Even worse, all the male leads' shous went mad and searched for him everywhere...
[World One: The Poor Student Who Lives Off Others] (Complete)
Xia Yi played a poor-born cannon-fodder scum gong in a marriage-first, love-later novel, a man who hoped to live off someone else's money by trading on his looks.
Who knew that his very first target would turn out to be a tough nut to crack? The rich second-generation heir whose feelings he deceived and from whom he swindled several million was none other than the male lead's shou.
The consequences were only to be expected: he received the punishment he deserved, while the male lead gong and shou, brought together through him, became a couple everyone envied.
When Xia Yi arrived, he was right in the middle of an important scene, wearing a revealing, tight-fitting outfit and seducing the male lead's shou.
The socially anxious young man went bright red and covered his fair stomach, which was lightly muscled. He felt as if the sky had fallen.
But for the chance to be reborn, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and do the mission.
When he finally managed to get the money and run, what awaited him was not a face-slapping scene where the scum got what he deserved. Instead, the enraged male lead's shou bit down on his sensitive, vulnerable neck, while his trembling waist was clamped in an iron grip.
No matter how much he cried and begged, the man, who had always been dignified and self-possessed, remained unmoved.
"Shaking so badly? Are you trying to seduce me?"
"Tell me you love me. Tell me you'll never leave me... Or I'll bite through your neck like this and keep you by my side forever. How does that sound, my sweet boy?"
Xia Yi, who had planned to fake his death and leave the story, was dumbstruck. Why was this going nothing like the System had said?
[World Two: The Human Raised by a Cat] (Complete)
The male lead's shou was a tabby cat demon nicknamed "Sang Biao." He had run away from an arranged marriage and come to the human world.
Xia Yi's mission was to mistreat the cat shou and show him the cruelty of humanity, so he'd meekly return to the cat demon realm and marry the male lead gong, who was also a cat.
But Xia Yi accidentally went too far, and the deeply aggrieved tabby cat angrily bundled him up and took him back to the demon realm.
From then on, Xia Yi became a human raised by a cat.
The male lead's shou held a grudge like nobody else. He actually did to Xia Yi everything humans had ever done to cats.
He called him a human kitten, made him live in a cat bed, kept him home to play games all day, and cuddled him for a good sniff whenever he felt like it...
After a while, Xia Yi started to think he really had become a pet cat. No, wait, a pet human.
When the male lead gong finally appeared, Xia Yi thought he could leave the story. Instead, the male lead's shou started fighting with him.
"He's mine. You're not allowed to take him!"
Xia Yi, Pet Human: "???"

[Content Warnings]
1. Slow-burn transmigration, mutually faithful relationships, and a shou split into multiple incarnations. They look alike, but their personalities vary slightly depending on their identities.
2. The gong grows over time. He's more submissive early on, but matures into someone steady and dependable. His feelings develop too.
3. The System's initial setup wasn't great. Thanks to everyone who pointed it out; I've changed it.
4. The author is inexperienced but loves writing, and writes at a kindergarten level. Thank you in advance for your patience and generosity! [Bows down in apology]
Blurb:
Su An is unemployed, and his marriage to Fang Chengfeng, a member of parliament, is the classic pairing of a poor Alpha and a wealthy Omega. It's been a favorite topic of public discussion for years.
Many people predicted that with such a vast difference in their social standing, the couple wouldn't last three months before falling apart.
Yet three years passed, and they were still together.
But Su An knew that his marriage to Fang Chengfeng, a favored son of heaven born with a silver spoon in his mouth, was nothing more than a transaction in which they each got what they needed.
As a public official, Fang Chengfeng needed a stable marriage to advance his career.
And Su An, whose glands had been injured, needed the soothing effect of an Omega's highly compatible pheromones.
They hit it off at a matchmaking banquet and got married that very day.
People said that the higher the pheromone compatibility between an Alpha and an Omega, the more stable their marriage would be.
For a while, Su An believed that too.
But three years later, he discovered that he and his Omega partner, whose pheromone compatibility was nearly 100 percent, were growing further and further apart.
Though over the course of their life together, he had fallen for the Omega, who was as cold as frost and snow, and frighteningly rational and composed at all times.
Their personalities clashed, their habits differed, and their values pointed in opposite directions... Too many conflicts snowballed, growing larger and larger.
The final straw that broke their marriage was a phone call he accidentally overheard between Fang Chengfeng and a doctor friend.
"I'm pregnant... The election is coming up. I can't have a baby at such a critical moment..."
"He's not suitable to be the father of my child... His genes, his intelligence, none of it is suitable..."
"I should have listened to you back then. I shouldn't have chosen a replacement just because he resembled him a little. I should have married the person I truly loved. Even if my chances were slim, I should at least have done whatever it took to try..."
Su An didn't hear what came after. He quietly walked out of the upscale apartment he'd lived in for three years.
Wearing an old undershirt and loose shorts, he looked only a little more respectable than a homeless man. He stood by the sun-drenched road and remained still for a very, very long time.
The next morning, Su An got up as usual and made a lavish breakfast. Before Fang Chengfeng woke, he left a divorce agreement behind and slipped away without a sound, carrying just a few pieces of clothing.
Just as he had arrived, he left with nothing but himself.
Alone once more, Su An decided to return to his old line of work.
Since he had failed to find happiness for himself, he would do his best to help other people find it.
Before long, however, his ex-husband Fang Chengfeng came looking for him.
The Omega, who had always been unflappable and more cool-headed than a robot, had red eyes for once. He grabbed Su An and wouldn't let go. "An'an, darling, come back with me, okay?"
Su An lowered the brim of his hat and took a step back. His tone was as cold as the Omega's usually was. "No. I'm just a substitute. You should go back with the real thing."
Theme: Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon.
Please remind me when there are updates! I've been looking forward to the "chasing-after-her-husband" trope for so long!
