[Please add my upcoming lighthearted transmigration-into-a-book novel, Eyes Open, Plot Gone Off the Rails! OvO The blurb is at the bottom.] [Bows to every reader passing by (bows to chest level) (bows to thigh level) (bows to foot level) (head nearly touching the ground)] Blurb: Cheerful, outgoing, a little slow on the uptake, and relentlessly straightforward shou × seemingly mature and dependable but actually a clingy, scheming green-tea gong Lin Leyang wakes up one day to find a mysterious number floating above many people's heads. After witnessing a car accident involving someone with the number 1 over their head, Lin Leyang realizes he can see other people's death countdowns. On the first day of school, his childhood friend Xia Shixu walks toward him with the number 10 above his head. Lin Leyang: !!!!!!!!??????? - His friend of over ten years has only ten days left to live. Heartbroken, Lin Leyang indirectly asks Xia Shixu about his wishes, hoping he can live out his last days without regrets. Xia Shixu, bewildered: Then I want to know what it's like to be in love. Lin Leyang: Then I'll find you someone! Xia Shixu: It's just for the experience anyway. You could be my partner. Lin Leyang: Sure. Then let's hold hands first, boyfriend. So Lin Leyang looks up dating advice and follows it step by step: holding hands, cuddling, kissing, eating together, shopping, and watching movies. Xia Shixu is so worked up by Lin Leyang that he can't think straight. At last, he can't take it anymore, pins Lin Leyang against a wall, kisses him hard, and confesses. Lin Leyang is stunned by the kiss. He doesn't have those kinds of feelings, but when he sees the number 1 over Xia Shixu's head, he still says yes. He's going to die tomorrow, Lin Leyang thinks sadly. The next day, after tossing and turning all night without a wink of sleep, Lin Leyang gets up with dark circles, ready to hear the news of Xia Shixu's death. Instead, he sees Xia Shixu arrive with breakfast and a beaming smile. "Hey~ Honey!" Lin Leyang: ??? Lin Leyang: ?!????????!!!?? Lin Leyang: Hi. Can we take back what we said yesterday? - Xia Shixu has been in a pretty good mood lately. His childhood friend, whom he's had a crush on for ten years, has finally figured things out and started getting close to him. Saying he'll pretend to be his partner is just an excuse because he likes him. Everything is going smoothly, and they make their relationship official as naturally as can be. It's just that Lin Leyang's expression is a little strange when Xia Shixu brings him breakfast. ...Very strange. ? Why does he look like he's seen a ghost??? - Xia Shixu: What's wrong with kissing my wife? You won't let me? Then I'll cry. Lin Leyang, panicking: Bro, did you run into a ghost or something?! PS: What the shou sees isn't a death countdown. The unfortunate victim of the car accident misled him. Disclaimer: 1. Everything else takes a back seat to romance. 2. Not for fans who are exclusively devoted to one side. The couple is 1v1 and stays together, with no role reversal. 3. The gong and shou are each other's first love. Happy ending. My next lighthearted transmigration-into-a-book novel is Eyes Open, Plot Gone Off the Rails! A bickering couple's chaotic, sweet everyday life. Visit my profile to add it to your collection, xoxo! Blurb: According to the rule that a book with the same name is bound to be the one you transmigrate into, Xia Yinxi becomes the fake young master in a melodramatic novel about a real and fake young master and someone's white moonlight. The original owner was a menace, and his parents kicked him out. Even the man he'd been engaged to for ten years saw the real young master as his white moonlight. Xia Yinxi starts trying to save himself on the very first day after transmigrating into the book. First, a person needs their own career and can't keep living off their parents. So Xia Yinxi becomes a food delivery driver. On his first day delivering food, Xia Yinxi knocks over an urn full of ashes he was delivering by express courier. Xia Yinxi: Sorry. Should I go back and put some more in for you? Ji Yunzhuo: ...No need. Meeting you was his comeuppance. Xia Yinxi, relieved: Thanks, devoted son. - After receiving countless complaints about late deliveries, the directionally challenged Xia Yinxi learns that the devoted son is his betrothed. Then he has a bright idea: why not get married, get divorced, and take a share of his family's assets? That's legal income too! After they get married, they show each other (passive-aggressive) courtesy and are (constantly) at each other's throats. Xia Yinxi: System, which pays better, getting divorced or becoming a widower? Humble System: ...We can't do anything illegal! So Xia Yinxi can only wait desperately for the white moonlight to appear so he can get divorced and split the money. He waits and waits. At last, he hears that one of Ji Yunzhuo's friends is coming back from abroad. Xia Yinxi checks the name with the System. It's you! The white moonlight! Xia Yinxi, wiping away tears that never came: I know he's always been in your heart. Let's get divorced. I'll let you have him. Ji Yunzhuo: ? The innocent fake white moonlight: Don't say something so disgusting!! Xia Yinxi: I know I'm not your real child. I'll leave of my own accord. Xia Yinxi's mom, punching Xia Yinxi's dad: You switched my baby?! Xia Yinxi's dad, bruised and battered: I didn't! What? Who said you weren't our real child? Xia Yinxi: ? System: Sorry, Host, it seems you may have, possibly, probably, most likely... transmigrated into the wrong book... Xia Yinxi, thrown onto the bed by Ji Yunzhuo: What kind of System are you?! I'm going to file a complaint! Aaaaaah!! Theme: Treasure the present and look forward to the future.
