How to Win the Creator's Heart

Originally titled "After Transmigrating into a Dog-Blood Novel, I Became the Protagonist Top's Sister-in-Law"

1.

After a car accident, Jian Lin transmigrates into the melodramatic novel he wrote, becoming the cannon-fodder first love of the protagonist, a scummy top.

Jian Lin: I should never have made this little cannon-fodder's life so miserable.

2.

To complete his mission, Jian Lin, a man of letters, gives it his all!

He diligently follows the plot, never expecting that the protagonist top, who was outrageously scummy in the original story, would be so gentle with him.

Having grown up in an orphanage with few friends, Jian Lin gets to experience being cherished for the first time. Little by little, he loses himself in the sweet moments of dating the protagonist top.

He thinks, if he avoids the death flags and the betrayal in the story never comes, maybe they'll stay happy forever?

Until one day, he takes a rose to the rooftop where they usually meet for dates.

Through a crack in the door, he sees his boyfriend with an arm around another boy's waist.

The rose slips from his hand and hits the ground. Jian Lin turns and walks away.

Of course. The man who wrote a scummy top shouldn't have hoped that one would change his ways.

3.

Qin Du has been in a foul mood lately.

Every day, he has to pinch the bridge of his nose and pick up his rebellious, chuunibyou little brother.

Then he realizes that the other handsome young man he always sees with his kid brother is even more annoying.

Annoying enough that he can't help staring at him.

Question: What do you do when you fall in love at first sight with your little brother's boyfriend, but your brother is a scumbag?

Qin Du: Thanks for asking. I really want to do the right thing and eliminate the menace.

Until one day, that beautiful, wilting rose faints into his arms.

Qin Du doesn't take him home.

He takes him to his own place.

4.

Qin Ji pounds frantically on the door he knows so well.

But the person who opens it is his own older brother.

He's holding several bags of trash, ready to take them out. Qin Ji spots his own slippers and water cup inside.

And inside the home, Jian Lin, whom he's been pining for over the past three months, looks rosy-cheeked as he smiles at his brother.

Qin Ji slumps to the floor and, with trembling fingers, sends a message to the person who used to be his lover.

[Jian Lin, do you fall for whoever keeps you company?]

[It was me before. Now it's my brother.]

Gentle older top who knows how to love his darling, fatherly Qin Du

x

Beautiful, affection-starved, flirtatious long-haired beauty bottom who knows just how gorgeous he is and has a housewife streak, Jian Lin

(Featuring Qin Ji, the chuunibyou rebellious little brother and loser ex, who will grow up and fix his bad habits.)

(Qin Ji: Happiness comes in threes. My ex is now my sister-in-law, and I still can't get rid of him!)

#Don't look for a boyfriend in the trash. Go curl up in your ex-boyfriend's brother's arms instead. #

[Reader's Guide]

1. Both are virgins. The top is the bottom's first love, but the bottom isn't the top's.

2. Lots of side characters will fall for the bottom.

3. The top changes: from the original story's top to his older brother. The bottom really does date the original protagonist top!!!

(But the original top isn't really scummy. The blurb will be explained, and the original top is also a virgin.)

4. The bottom transmigrates physically. He's still himself!

"The Reluctant Heartthrob Rules a Dog-Blood World"

Blurb:

Zhu Mian, a beautiful young man with exceptional abilities in every area, is suddenly bound to a transmigration-into-a-book System for dog-blood angst novels!

The System is stern and emotionless. Its cold voice is enough to make Zhu Mian's vision go dark.

"Host must travel to various dog-blood angst novel worlds according to the mission requirements. Completing missions will earn rewards."

Zhu Mian asks, trembling: Why did you choose me?

System: You are beautiful, brave, strong, and unafraid of hardship.

Zhu Mian: You can praise me without sounding so stiff and robotic, you know!

*

In these worlds, the protagonists and supporting characters ignore the law and do whatever they please, acting out one heartbreaking love story after another, full of tangled emotions and devastating passion.

Zhu Mian: "Stop! Keep your organs safely inside your body, please!"

As a passionate, upright young man of the new millennium, Zhu Mian faces every challenge head-on!

Zhu Mian, again: "System, where did you send me? Are there any normal people in this world at all?!"

* World One:

"You are the second son of a newly wealthy family, melancholy and beautiful, and you share an unspoken, forbidden secret with your half-brother... But don't worry. In two years, you'll die in a car accident. The story begins when your brother finds a replacement who looks just like you..."

Zhu Mian: ?

Wait, I really do have an older brother!

[System update: One saved video clip from World One]

Zhu Mian steps on the hand of the man kneeling before him. His expression is cold, and he can't be bothered to show even the slightest emotion.

Suddenly, he smiles and softly murmurs to the man, who is nearly bursting with rage, "You say you love me, but you love me with that filthy body of yours?"

"You're revolting."

"Brother? What makes you think you deserve to be called that by me?"

* World Two:

"You are a newly appointed homeroom teacher at Ross Academy, an elite school where order has broken down and wealth is everything. Bullying the weak and getting into group fights are commonplace. But the arrival of a frail transfer student seems to have captured the attention of all the school's young elites..."

Zhu Mian: Wait, can I call over the goofy guys from our Xiuhua school? You know what they say: fight magic with magic!

System: Rejected.

Zhu Mian silently puts on his clear-lens glasses. "Fine. I forgot to mention that I really do have a teaching certificate."

The System, with no idea where he got a pair of glasses: …

[System update: One saved video clip from World Two]

At an off-campus bar, Zhu Mian is making his rounds with his long hair loose, but a tall, arrogant student has grabbed a small section of it.

The young man looks back with a smile, then suddenly throws a hard punch into the student's stomach, dropping him to the ground in an instant.

Zhu Mian slowly pulls his hair free, crouches down, and pats the dazed man's face. In a gentle voice, he says, "Disrespecting your teacher and harassing him. Come to my office tomorrow."

* World Three:

The only gay man in a dorm full of homophobes in a dormitory romance novel.

Zhu Mian: "Can I take a break this time? They'll naturally fall for someone else and kick me out, right?"

Zhu Mian: "Wait, weren't I supposed to be the only gay one? And why haven't they kicked me out? My mansion's already been renovated!"

* World Four:

The deceased tree-planting wife in a scummy-top-torments-bottom novel.

Zhu Mian: "I taught him how to love, then I died?"

Zhu Mian: "Now he's dead, too."

There are also Worlds Five, Six, and Seven. I'll leave a little mystery~
