One day, Ruan Li woke up and discovered he had transmigrated into the ABO serial he was currently procrastinating on. If he didn't complete his writing assignments, the System would erase him!
Ruan Li: Oh.
Then, ignoring the System's shocked, stunned, and horrified stare, he lowered his head and started editing.
This Alpha's pheromones smell awful? Change them!
As the protagonist's pet, how can it be so ordinary? Change it again!
Ruan Li looked at the world changing around him into a riot of colors and smiled.
What an interesting golden finger.
Tan Zhang had been one of the top Alphas at an elite school for the aristocracy, living a life admired by everyone. Then one day, he realized he seemed to be in a novel, where everything around him changed according to the author's revisions!
Tan Zhang headed to his buddy's place carrying two huge bags of cat food. "I'm going to see the cat!"
His friend was puzzled. "What cat? I have a dog."
Tan Zhang: Haha, I must not have woken up properly this morning.
Tan Zhang headed to his buddy's place carrying two huge bags of dog food. "I'm going to see the dog!"
An owl flew right into his face.
His friend sighed. "You should go see a doctor."
Holding the dog food, Tan Zhang stared in confusion at Ruan Li, an Omega who had come to visit too, was taking it all in stride, and was excitedly snapping pictures of the owl with a camera.
"...Is the world crazy, or is he?"
An Alpha at school had a pheromone malfunction, and the campus descended into chaos.
Standing alone on the sports field, Tan Zhang was bewildered. This Alpha had smelled like an oil field exploding just a moment ago. How had he suddenly started smelling like roses?
Nearby, the Omega Ruan Li seemed to have just survived some sort of grievous ordeal. He leaned against the wall, coughing hard. Rose scent, it's just so good! QAQ
Later, Tan Zhang realized he might have fallen for an Omega named Ruan Li.
He started watching him involuntarily, until one day the Alpha saw Ruan Li typing into a document. Everything around them changed with his words.
The Omega elegantly put down his phone and stared at the thing in his hand, looking expectant.
Tan Zhang followed his gaze and looked down
Holy crap! Where did this bite-prevention muzzle come from?!
To complete his assignments, Ruan Li turned over a new leaf, revising the story while filling in its plot holes.
One day, while he was making major revisions, he suddenly realized that a certain villain who was supposed to turn evil later was getting more and more handsome. And after he'd dressed him in some outfits tailored to his personal tastes, the villain's gaze seemed... a little strange.
Tan Zhang, wearing a V-neck suit, pressed closer under his gaze. The fine chain hanging from his gold-rimmed glasses swayed and glinted. "Like seeing me dressed like this?"
Ruan Li: ! (x///o///x)!
Hey, villain bro, why aren't you following the plot?!

Coming soon: After Halfheartedly Pursuing the Overpowered Protagonist
"You saved my life, so everything I have belongs to you." 🥺
On Yan Huaixu's eighteenth birthday, he learned that he was a cannon-fodder character in an overpowered male-oriented novel. The young master protagonist would rise to the top and dominate everything, while Yan Huaixu would rely on their bond from when the protagonist was a nobody, cling desperately to him once he gained power, and eventually be thrown out of the house.
Yan Huaixu thought it was all nonsense.
As the son of Shen Yunzhang's servant, he had been orphaned and his young master had saved his life. Shen Yunzhang was his benefactor, someone he could never repay, no matter what. How could he possibly do something like that?
The next second, Yan Huaixu was forced to bind himself to a pursuit System.
"Dear, please cling to the overpowered protagonist and win him over to complete your mission~"
Shen Yunzhang discovered that the beautiful, aloof son of the servant he'd taken in had somehow bound himself to a pursuit System.
Looking at the tasks, he thought they were foolish and ridiculous.
But Shen Yunzhang waited for a long time, and all the other man did every day was call him "Young Master Shen" with cautious formality. He didn't dare cross a line, much less do anything that could be called pursuing him.
[Physical Contact]
Yan Huaixu timidly touched his palm under the pretense of bringing him tea. The task received a D-minus rating, and Yan Huaixu withdrew his hand, blushing.
[Kissing]
Thinking he was asleep, Yan Huaixu tremulously brushed his lips against his in a fleeting kiss. The task received a D rating. He hurried away like a startled rabbit.
Shen Yunzhang: ?
At last, Shen Yunzhang couldn't help stepping in. He forced the man to stay by his side and coaxed and tricked him into completing the tasks.
Yan Huaixu soon realized that things seemed to be getting out of control.
[Physical Contact]
Shen Yunzhang grabbed his slender, pale wrist as he tried to pull away. Yan Huaixu lost his balance and almost fell, but Shen Yunzhang caught him in his arms. The task rating shot up from D-minus to S.
[Kissing]
Shen Yunzhang, who had been pretending to doze, opened his eyes and closed his big hand around Yan Huaixu, leaving him unable to move. Task rating: value too high, unknown error...
After completing the final task, Yan Huaixu thought about the chaos of the previous night and the original story's prophecy, and his heart sank.
He struggled to lift his aching body, raised his head with difficulty, and spoke through tear-blurred eyes. "Young Master, please rest assured. I'll leave the estate today and make sure you never see me again."
Shen Yunzhang gently wiped the tear tracks from the corners of Yan Huaixu's eyes with one hand. With the other, he held two wedding rings and gazed down at him. "Sweetheart, did I hurt you yesterday?"
