[Upcoming novel: "After My Roommates Joined Forces to Trick Me into Online Dating": A story about a naive little lamb who wanders into a den of wolves, meets three clever big bad wolves, and gets eaten]
Novel blurb
"Basically, it's about a hardworking method actor determined to get a happy ending with the canon love interest, and a bunch of lunatics who insist on adding romantic scenes with him."
"Ding! The 'Star to Godhood' System is now active. Sequence 012 at your service. Our client is an actor with a score of 99! Our goal is to shape him into a god of acting with a perfect score!
Number 012 has specially selected five scripted worlds for you to star in. Host, please explore them actively and complete the main quest in each world: find true love, achieve a happy ending, and clear the world perfectly with a score of 100. Special reminder: Don't act."
The day before the awards ceremony that would make Qin Chun a grand-slam-winning actor, he transmigrated, and his path to stardom crashed halfway through. At first, he assumed he was just like all the other System transmigrators: a chosen one with the script in hand and a golden finger.
However
"Do I transmigrate as the character I'm playing every time? Then this should be easy. How could I not know who my canon love interest is?"
"Not quite. If you fail to achieve a perfect score in the previous world and try to skip it by faking your death or using another method, the next world will be one level more difficult.
You might become the second male lead who's forced into a pairing in a noble academy world, the male lead's doomed first love in a melodramatic old-school romance, the doctor's friend who tells an Alpha to keep it in his pants in an ABO world... or even the flower-selling NPC in a tragic romance where the lovers reunite after breaking up, whose only line is, 'Hey, handsome, why not buy one for your girlfriend too?'"
"?? Hold on, let's set aside the serious gender issues involved in my becoming the male lead's first love in a romance for now. What's with the flower seller!? Do NPCs get canon love interests too?"
"Please figure that out for yourself, Host."
"...And what does that special reminder, 'Don't act,' mean? Telling an actor not to act? Listen to how ridiculous that sounds!"
"Please figure that out for yourself as well, Host."
"Does talking use up your battery?"
"No."
"Then would it kill you to say a few more words?"
"..."
Confident in his acting skills, Qin Chun wanted to get a perfect score in the first world as quickly as possible. He spent every day chasing after the female lead, but one by one, the supporting characters went completely off-script. People who had looked down on him in the original story now rushed to show concern, while those who had kept their distance started approaching him...
The moment he failed to clear the world and could only make a miserable escape by faking his death, Qin Chun knew the vicious cycle was about to begin...
"So the one point he was missing all along wasn't anything else. It was... love."

Reader's Guide:
1. A true everyone-loves-him beauty of a straight male lead: carefree and adored by all, and a clever little fox who's great at acting and lying.
2. The protagonist grows over time and has flaws in his personality. He is slow to understand romance, so there is a lot of coercion, and he generally can't escape being treated like this or that.
3. The love interest from the original world is the true male lead. He isn't a split fragment, and the ending is a one-on-one happy ending.
4. The protagonist is at the center of every world. He doesn't stay chaste or faithful.
5. Going by the author's usual habits, this will probably turn into a slow transmigration story. orz
Upcoming novel blurb
Yang Xi was born with naturally fair, cool-toned skin, just as his name suggests.
When he was born, he was wrinkled, dark, and scruffy-looking. His great-grandfather was so worried he slapped his thigh and named him Xi, meaning fair. Who knew the boy would grow up so fair that his father was left sighing, thinking a boy so pale and handsome lacked enough manly spirit?
So, from the time Yang Xi started middle school, his father laid down a strict rule: he had to run under the sun every day.
Day after day, he ran to school, ran home, ran to the fields to deliver lunch, and ran to town to sell goat's milk. The phrase he heard more than any other growing up was, "Xiao Xi, hurry up and run!"
He kept running and eventually made something of himself, running all the way to a prestigious university in the big city everyone in his village dreamed of. His skin still hadn't changed one bit, though.
After traveling a thousand miles to university in the big city, Yang Xi met his three roommates, each one strikingly handsome. Before he left, his grandmother had urged him over and over: "City folks are crafty and not to be messed with! Either keep your distance or butter them up."
At first, he was wary, but as they spent time together, he decided his grandmother was overthinking things. His roommates were city folk, sure, but they were all so nice.
Roommate number one was quiet, but looked after him like a real big brother. He patiently showed Yang Xi everything, from how to use a shared bike to how to log in and choose his classes. He did tend to stare at Yang Xi for no reason, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Roommate number two was gentle and refined, one of the top ten students in their major. During finals, he even gave Yang Xi one-on-one tutoring. Yang Xi was deeply grateful, though it would be even better if the top student didn't keep touching his butt for no apparent reason.
Roommate number three was a little internet celebrity, lively and outgoing, and always asked Yang Xi to make intimate little videos with him. He said lots of people would like Yang Xi that way, and Yang Xi was delighted to hear it. But there were all sorts of comments under the videos he didn't understand, like, "A bro like this is so easy to trick. Before you get in, he thinks you're joking..."
Little by little, Yang Xi came to think of the three roommates as his best buddies. He even confided his most secret feelings: he had a crush on the long-distance running goddess on the track team at a neighboring university.
The goddess had neat, short hair, healthy honey-colored skin that gleamed in the sun, and toned, well-proportioned muscles that radiated strength. She was exactly his type.
But a goddess was still a goddess, far beyond his reach.
The three roommates immediately offered to get her contact information for him. He didn't take them seriously, but that very night, a friend request from the goddess popped up on his phone, followed by a voice message. It was unmistakably the voice he'd dreamed of hearing every day.
And so began the online romance of Yang Xi, a pure-hearted virgin. Everything was sweet and wonderful, except that the goddess had a few niche kinks, like wanting to see photos of his legs in stockings, which he had trouble handling (whisper).
But she was a goddess, so it was only natural for her to have her quirks. He was just a little shy (a tiny whisper).
At last, they agreed on a day to meet in person, choosing a hotel that left plenty to the imagination.
At first, he felt conflicted. The goddess was so passionate; what if he lost his virginity? Nervous and anxious, Yang Xi arrived at the hotel room as promised. After a while, someone knocked.
He opened the door and froze. There was no long-distance running goddess with honey-colored skin outside, only three faces he knew better than anyone.
Later, Yang Xi would often wonder: he'd spent his whole life running and running, so how had he failed to run away from these three bastards?
Reader's Guide:
1. The bottom thinks he's a 183 cm straight guy with a lean, toned build and a sunny disposition. In reality, he's a pale, baby-faced, pure-hearted virgin: a little chick, lamb, and puppy, as well as a country bumpkin.
2. There are lots of love interests, not just the three roommates, but this isn't an NP story. The pairings are one-on-one in stages, with a true male lead at the end.
3. A story written to indulge the author's tastes. Probably very doting, intense, and vulgar.
4. Nothing much to say: the author is still writing the same old forced-straight-man story.
