The Super High School Level Scumbag Novelist

Ji Huaixi, pen name Luo Xi. He grew up without a father. At thirteen, he published his first mystery novel; at fourteen, during the heyday of print media, he began serializing a story in the best-selling fiction magazine. He hates having people analyze his life, and to this day no real photos of him have ever surfaced.

After a four-year hiatus due to the demands of studying abroad, he went from being beloved Luo Xi to the infamous old rascal Luo Xi, who had ruined countless readers' lives.

The magazine that Ji Huaixi and his readers once made famous together is now in decline. His ex-boyfriend, with whom he had an on-and-off relationship for years, made a snide remark: "Just exploit your looks and drum up publicity. I've even thought of a short-video title for you: 'Would my readers still have the heart to curse me if they knew I looked like this?'"

He'll casually pick up a carefully prepared gift for his ex while out looking for a lover. He's the most talented, cruelest, and softest-hearted person his ex has ever known.

They've broken up many times, often because the same thing happened: he had his eye on another man.

Once, his ex tried to burn all the love letters Ji Huaixi had written him. He lit one corner of the paper, then put out the flame and tucked the letters away again.

Just like the love he wanted to give up but couldn't let go of.

* A seemingly friendless, unhinged, sharp-tongued mixed-race beauty bottom who can act like a pro, but would turn into a hapless bear if left to fend for himself x a cool, hopelessly lovestruck top, plus a few other tops. The ex-boyfriend in the title is Ji Huaixi, the bottom.

* A bittersweet story. The bottom has had intimate relationships with other people. He won't be intimate with two people at the same time, but there will be different one-on-one pairings at different stages. The bottom is not a perfect character and is fairly wicked, so please bear with him. He will actively try to win a top back, though it's not a typical groveling-ex story. Make of it what you will.

* The ex-boyfriend is the only one mentioned because he has the biggest role. In reality, this is a twisted melodrama that might have a little bit of a pursuing-his-husband plot.

Theme: They're a hotel, and I'm home.
