[A seemingly cool and polished professional with a busy inner monologue and a snarky bottom X a flippant, debonair old fox of a top]

(The full novel costs 2 yuan to subscribe to. Please support the author by reading the official version!)

Ji Nian is a top-tier corporate drone. His greatest hobby is drawing comics about punching his boss, kicking his clients, and occasionally giving birth to young men. Then he wakes up.

This world is one giant Jinjiang Literature City, and he is a disposable character in every story.

His boss is a blind CEO from a substitute-lover story, who eventually dies with the love interest in a sea of flames. The blast catches Ji Nian, Assistant Ji. After struggling on his own to buy a spacious home and a luxury car in the big city, he dies at the age of twenty-seven.

Ji Nian thinks this is absurd, until his foreknowledge of the plot helps his company successfully partner with a major corporation. Then he finally accepts reality.

There's no cure for someone who's hopelessly in love. Ji Nian doesn't wish them well, and he doesn't understand them, but he still has a mortgage to pay. All he can do is respect their choices. He plans to finish this project, earn a fortune, and retire.

But why is the boss of the company they're working with starting to look at him strangely?

Lu Yunche thinks this world is a cold machine that has been debugged. Everyone in it is monotonous and boring.

After an accident, he discovers that whenever he makes physical contact with Ji Nian, he can hear Ji Nian's thoughts for ten minutes.

[Why are you looking at me? Do you think I want to hear you thank me?]

[Sign the contract, you idiot.]

Lu Yunche looks at the cool, composed Assistant Ji in front of him. For the first time, cracks appear in his usually unflappable expression.

Ji Nian: Help! My boss keeps trying to find ways to touch me. What should I do? Waiting for a reply, urgent!

Lu Yunche: At first, I only planned to listen to your thoughts. Then I realized I like you more and more.

So, how about getting married?

Here's an upcoming novel:

How My Rival and I Became Famous After Acting in a BL Drama

[Short-fused firecracker bottom X sharp-tongued, shamelessly flirtatious, lovesick top]

Yu Qinglin is a nobody, the kind of nobody who couldn't be more obscure. His mother is seriously ill, his father gambles, his younger sister is still in school, and he's prickly. To make money, he has no choice but to grit his teeth and go shoot a steamy drama with the colleague he hates most.

Before it starts: Yu Qinglin says he's straight and this is just work.

During filming: Is this old fox playing some kind of ghost story with me? Why is he flirting nonstop?

After filming: I only fell for the character. I got too deep into the role. A little time to cool off and I'll be fine.

Unexpectedly, the drama becomes a hit, and Yu Qinglin goes from nobody to a regular on the trending lists.

All right, all right, here's the problem. Yu Qinglin now has to grit his teeth and fake a couple image with his mortal enemy.

As the fans put it, they're tied together now, and he'll never wash the smell of that steamy drama off himself.

Yu Qinglin refuses to accept that!

He works himself to the bone auditioning and taking roles, and even carefully picks which shows to appear on so he can avoid his rival. All to wash that fishy smell off himself.

Even after becoming more famous, all he does is go back and forth between drinking parties and film sets. Life seems to be nothing but work, whether as a beast of burden or as poultry.

Yu Qinglin can't take it anymore. He causes a scene at a dinner party, punches the sponsor, and kicks his manager.

The video "accidentally" gets leaked, and for a time, he is the talk of the town.

Who cares? Yu Qinglin had his fun. That's what matters.

After his career hits rock bottom again, he somehow ends up sleeping with his mortal enemy.

What the hell is this life!!!

Oh, I'm the one getting fucked.

Well then, let this be the life where I get fucked...

Li Suiyu thinks Yu Qinglin is always trying to seduce him.

On the idol competition show, every time Li Suiyu walks past, Yu Qinglin's gaze seems to drift toward him. But whenever Li Suiyu looks back, Yu Qinglin glares at him fiercely like a cat whose tail has been stepped on.

Every so often, they also bump into each other around a stairwell corner. Quite often, actually.

Usually, Yu Qinglin will angrily stomp on his foot.

Leaving behind an unforgettable fragrance.

Li Suiyu wants to get to know Yu Qinglin, so he accepts a BL drama role, opposite Yu Qinglin.

After a while, Li Suiyu reaches his conclusion: Yu Qinglin really does like him!

At the wrap party, Li Suiyu takes advantage of the alcohol and confesses to Yu Qinglin. Yu Qinglin doesn't dare look at him, but doesn't reject him either. He only leaves a handprint on Li Suiyu's face.

Li Suiyu's response: What a spicy wife! I love it. Yummy, yummy 😋.

One-on-one, a combative little couple, cool-faced cutie and shameless flirt.
