Deceiving a Top-Tier Star, the Greedy Straight Guy Gets Exposed

After Lu Yi'an became a corporate wage slave, he discovered that his nemesis, Jiang Zhi, had somehow become a top star. That damn Jiang Zhi had been his desk mate in high school. He always sabotaged Lu Yi'an's chances with girls, leaving him single for 25 years. Seeing Jiang Zhi become famous and rake in money hurt even more than losing money himself! He'd heard that lots of celebrities had secret relationships, and ordinary people who managed to get a photo could demand a hefty hush fee from the person involved. Lu Yi'an made up his mind to get a job in the entertainment industry, get close to Jiang Zhi, snap some photos, and extort a fortune from him. But while secretly photographing Jiang Zhi, he was horrified to discover all sorts of bizarre things about him. * For instance, when he peeked at Jiang Zhi's phone, he discovered that the lock screen was a photo of his high school self asleep with his head on his desk. Lu Yi'an: Wait... Is this guy sick? Not only that, Jiang Zhi had collected all the clothes, pens, and paper Lu Yi'an had lost, and locked them in a safe. Lu Yi'an: Help! What is this supposed to be? Something felt off, but for the hush money, he was still willing to take a risk. One night, he sneaked into Jiang Zhi's villa. ** Later, he did manage to take a photo of Jiang Zhi with his lover… Except that after being completely worn out, Jiang Zhi forced him to use his phone to take a picture of the two of them together. He got several million, even tens of millions, but it took a toll on his body, and he couldn't escape having his family line cut off. Lu Yi'an regretted everything: Jiang Zhi, I'm sorry. Let's forget the past. Please let me go. Jiang Zhi gave him a smile that wasn't quite a smile: Call me husband, and I'll think about it. Lu Yi'an swore at him: You filthy-minded, despicable bastard!

Coming Soon 1: The Honest Straight Guy Is Transported into an Elite Academy Lin En was an honest, unremarkable nobody who had spent eighteen years living a timid, downtrodden life. Girls always gave him the "you're a nice guy" speech, and when classmates picked on him, all he dared to do was complain under his breath. His greatest hobby was playing farming games and being a cyber farmer. One day, Lin En was transported into an elite academy that mashed together several different worlds. He discovered he'd become an utterly ordinary beta, with five weird alpha roommates. Roommate 1 was a certain Pei-style top, who kept asking him, "You have a crush on me, right? Why aren't you intimidated when you see me?" Lin En was exasperated. He didn't get crushes on men, and he certainly wasn't intimidated at the drop of a hat. Roommate 2 was a Korean-webtoon-style top, who kept asking him, "You owe a hundred million yuan, right? Just sleep with me and you'll pay it off in no time." Lin En was desperate. He wouldn't even dare dream of a hundred million yuan, let alone sleeping with a man. Roommate 3 was a certain Jiang-style top, aloof and taciturn. When he saw Lin En taking a bath, he stammered, "Your... your... mine... mine..." Lin En was baffled. How could such a handsome guy have trouble talking? Roommate 4 was a certain Hua-style top, warm and kind. He kept quietly asking, "Baby, I know you have a secret. I can help you, and I promise no one else will find out." Lin En was confused. What secret could he possibly have? And why was his roommate's gaze so strangely intense? Roommate 5 was a Qidian-style top, who kept asking him, "Bro, why are you getting more and more fragrant? Can I smell you?" Lin En was puzzled. They were clearly comrades-in-arms. Why did this guy keep sniffing the back of his neck? # Later, Lin En somehow got pregnant. He didn't know who the father was, and couldn't bring himself to have an abortion, so he could only sneak away. But four men caught him and cornered him, demanding to know which one he wanted to be the child's father. Lin En suspected that whichever one he chose, the others would beat him to death. Timidly, he said something outrageous instead: "Can't we all just get along and be friends? Don't fight." At that, all five men turned cold. Coming Soon 2: The Unlucky Widower Keeps Getting Time-Stopped Lu Zhiyu was jealous and vain. After graduating from college, he married a man for money. His husband was a sickly man in a wheelchair, so all Lu Zhiyu had to do was wait for him to die and inherit a huge fortune. But after his husband died, Lu Zhiyu discovered that the fool had been drowning in debt. On the day of the funeral, the chapel was packed with creditors, all impeccably dressed men with an air of distinction. Lu Zhiyu looked at these powerful men in despair. Luckily, the very next day, he got a golden finger. [Ding! The Widower System is now online!] [Every Friday, a man will enter the Host's bedroom.] [During this time, the Host will fall unconscious and be unable to move, but will remain aware.] [The next day, as long as the Host identifies the man who entered the bedroom, he can seize 50% of that man's resources.] At first, Lu Zhiyu suspected his late husband's younger brother, because the little bastard kept calling him sister-in-law while trying to move into his room. Later, Lu Zhiyu suspected his late husband's former boss, who seemed cold and abstinent in public but secretly collected his clothes. Then, Lu Zhiyu suspected his late husband's classmate, who kept using the excuse of looking after his friend's wife to stay at the house indefinitely. Finally, Lu Zhiyu realized that everyone around him seemed suspicious. It was as if they had all been in his room. Who was it? * Lots of men had a crush on Lu Zhiyu, but he had a bad temper, was petty, and was straight. Luckily, those men had all gained the ability to stop time. Every Friday, one of them could use the ability on Lu Zhiyu. But if Lu Zhiyu caught them, they would lose the ability to stop time, so the men were all doing their best to keep up their disguises. Who would get caught first? Theme: A gentleman loves wealth, but earns it honorably.
