After I Became Brothers with the Chosen One

Gu Nanyi woke up after being knocked unconscious by a giant white goose that fell from the sky, only to discover a book had appeared in his head. It was a little illustrated story about cultivating immortality, no less.

Gu Nanyi flipped it open. Well, well.

The protagonist slaughters his way through the world and drives back a huge horde of monsters. Boring.

The protagonist plays hero and saves a beauty, who falls for him at first sight. Cliched.

The protagonist's white moonlight dies when her cold poison flares up. What an unoriginal plot... Hm? Wait!

Why does this white moonlight have the same name as me?! And she's afflicted with the same cold poison.

Gu Nanyi: "???"

He realized that he was the doomed white moonlight, afflicted with cold poison and destined to die young, in a novel about a peerless hero.

To change his fate, Gu Nanyi tried to fake an encounter with the hero and join his party.

He never got the chance to put his plan into action.

The first time he saw the hero again, the man knocked him out of the sky. Then, after knocking him down, he hauled him off to the City Lord's Manor, where Gu Nanyi enjoyed a one-day tour of the prison.

Not only that, he failed to recognize the man, and after getting out of prison, he was so dazzled by the hero's looks that he even struck up a conversation with him.

Much, much later...

His plan to fake an encounter was a huge success. Not only did he join the hero's party, he also won a place in the hero's heart.

And that wasn't all. A lovesick, possessive merman, a devoted archenemy... They all came swarming after him.

Many years later...

Gu Nanyi, lying in the hero's arms: "??? Wait, this isn't right."

The hero stroked his head. "It's too late to run now."

The author's upcoming novel.

"The Seventh Prince Doesn't Want the Throne"

Blurb: Jiang Yu'an is a bright-eyed college student who just graduated. After taking two months of hard knocks from society, he is transported to ancient times before he can even experience life as a mature adult.

He also finds himself in the imperial palace, a place fraught with danger in most novels.

Fortunately, he has transmigrated into the body of a prince who was just rescued from drowning. He's of noble birth, and he even has a full-blooded older brother who is the crown prince.

Unfortunately, his father and consort mother have high hopes for his brother. They dote on Jiang Yu'an, but don't pay him much attention, while his older brother, the crown prince, usually ignores him.

As the youngest, Jiang Yu'an is an afterthought to his other princely and princessly siblings. The Grand Tutor thinks he's stupid, and whenever he praises the crown prince, he always takes the opportunity to criticize Jiang Yu'an, too. Fortunately, there's also the son of a Minister of the Court, a cool and aloof young man who's usually very gentle with him.

But Jiang Yu'an is perfectly happy with all this. He's never been ambitious, and he's content to go about his days as a cheerful nobody.

Then things gradually begin to change. His relationships with his brothers and sisters grow closer, the Grand Tutor secretly takes him on as a pupil, and the Minister's son becomes his beloved senior fellow disciple. A young general who has just returned to court falls for him at first sight, and his father and mother also begin to take notice of him.

Everyone slowly realizes that this boy, who was usually ignored, is actually extraordinarily handsome, with bright, striking eyes and a lively, free-spirited nature. Wherever he goes, it's as if he's carrying a pocketful of sunshine.

Later, after Jiang Yu'an deals with one matter after another, from controlling floods to preventing cheating in the imperial examinations and putting down a rebellion, he somehow winds up with several devoted little admirers.

And later still, Jiang Yu'an sits on the throne, watching everyone close in on him. All he can do is hold out a hand like a character from a melodrama and cry, "Stay back! Don't come any closer!"

Theme: We should all strive to become better versions of ourselves.
