Saving the Frail Academic Prodigy

The main story is complete; bonus chapters will appear now and then~

A sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, possessive slacker who transmigrates into a book × a clear-eyed, quietly falling, sickly yet resilient academic genius

He Lan Zhuo died.

He dropped dead while gaming during a late-night college class.

When he opened his eyes, he had transmigrated into a book, becoming a rich, handsome school bully who shared his name. He comes from a wealthy family and is good-looking; his only role in the story is to bully the tragic protagonist, Zhu Yunqing, in every way imaginable.

System 001 holds up a resurrection card: “Stay in character and follow the plot. Save the protagonist, who is about to kill himself. Complete the mission and you’ll be revived. Fail, and you’ll be erased on the spot.”

He Lan Zhuo: “…”

To stay alive, he grits his teeth and plays his part. He picks fights, provokes him, and corners him against a wall

He grabs Zhu Yunqing by the throat and forces him to lift his head. A red mark forms on his slender neck. He begins to suffocate, and tears well up uncontrollably, soaking his long, curled lashes before sliding down his cheeks.

Those dark eyes, usually calm and unreadable, shimmer with tears and look even more beautiful.

Fragile and helpless.

He Lan Zhuo’s breath catches, and he instinctively loosens his grip.

Crap, I think I went too far.

The next second, Zhu Yunqing rises onto his toes and leans close to his ear, his breath cold. “You’re not him. Who are you, really?”

He Lan Zhuo: …

The protagonist figured him out the moment he transmigrated into the book?

He can’t keep acting!

*

Zhu Yunqing was sickly from birth. His biological mother saw him as the culprit behind his biological father’s death and gave him to poor adoptive parents when he was young.

He goes to class during the day and works at night. He gets by, until high school, when he meets a gloomy, short-tempered guy who targets him for no apparent reason. Beatings and insults become part of his daily life.

Just endure it. Life will go on.

But then the guy suddenly starts acting strangely. He looks fierce, but his eyes are clear and foolish.

He puts on a terrible act, taking Zhu Yunqing to the infirmary when he faints from low blood sugar and breaking into a cramped, dark equipment room when a creepy admirer locks him inside…

He saves him again and again.

Even going so far as to expend energy and leave his body as a soul.

Zhu Yunqing knows how important that energy is to the soul from another world. How can he waste it on him?

Zhu Yunqing knows very well that he has already fallen, beyond saving. It is not until one snowy winter night, when that person’s soul pins him against a wall and kisses him like a madman, that he realizes…

Only then does he learn that the other person loves him just as helplessly, anxiously, and… fearfully, afraid of losing him.

Note: The high school setting is during the period when students are divided into arts and science tracks.

The Dream Lover I Picked Up Only Wants to Kill Me

A gaming noob, shut-in, and handsome-face enthusiast top VS a deeply unlucky, prideful Immortal Venerable bottom

Game designer Fu Chuan has been troubled lately.

Good news: He brought a strange, handsome man in ancient clothes home from the police station. The man looks exactly like Xuanheng Immortal Venerable, the character in his game who cultivates the Way of Ruthlessness and is his dream lover.

Bad news: The man says he is going to kill someone named Fuchuan. That would be him, wouldn’t it?

Worse news: The man might actually be that game character. In the game, Fu Chuan not only ruined his reputation as the cultivation world’s beloved ideal, but also caused him to fail his tribulation and ascension.

Even worse news: The handsome man is here for revenge. A mortal against an immortal, science against the supernatural: Fu Chuan is as good as dead.

The very best news: The handsome man tries to kill him with spiritual power, but shrinks to the size of a BJD doll. Now Fu Chuan can do whatever he wants with him.

Fu Chuan is no longer troubled: he’s about to be overwhelmed by how cute the BJD-doll version of the handsome man is!

Fu Chuan is an art student, a man, and attracted to men.

Yes, he has fallen for the game character who somehow transmigrated into the modern world: the cultivation world’s beloved ideal, Xuanheng Immortal Venerable Xiao Zijin, who cultivates the Way of Ruthlessness.

Fu Chuan is troubled again: How can he change the other man’s impression of him and win his heart?

Good news: After spending this time together, Xiao Zijin no longer wants to kill him.

Bad news: Xiao Zijin spends all day scrolling on his phone. One day, he tells Fu Chuan, “I’m an independent adult man,” and “I can’t keep wasting your money,” and “I should earn money and contribute to this household too.”

Worse news: Xiao Zijin comes home with a modeling contract full of blatantly exploitative terms.

Fu Chuan doesn’t understand why the other man thinks a handsome, wealthy tycoon like him is a stingy, miserly pauper. He refuses to agree, and Xiao Zijin doesn’t understand either. They part on bad terms.

Even worse news: Xiao Zijin runs away from home.

Fu Chuan finally finds him outside a newly opened women’s clothing store. Xiao Zijin is wearing a cute women’s dress and diligently working as a model…
