Li Huanhuan, 26 years old, is just a passerby in a book. She meets the protagonist at a blind date.

Qin Shi is the male protagonist of the book—a genius esports player, super popular, broad shoulders, long legs, outstanding looks, with an eight-pack abs, and two years younger than her.

When they meet for the first time, Qin Shi’s friend mistakes her for an “aunt.”

Li Huanhuan thinks to herself, the protagonist surely isn’t interested in her.

The next day, Qin Shi calls her:

“I heard you told Auntie that I have high standards and didn’t fancy you?”

Li Huanhuan: “……”

Wasn’t that the case?

But she still sincerely apologizes.

Qin Shi: “I hate being slandered.”

Li Huanhuan: “?”

Qin Shi: “Come out, let’s have dinner. I’ll send a photo to them. I won’t allow my reputation to be damaged.”

Their second meeting doesn’t go smoothly either.

Li Huanhuan is childhood friends with Qin Shi’s rival, Fox (the villain in the book), and Qin Shi sees their photo together. Qin Shi suddenly becomes cold.

Li Huanhuan thinks the blind date has failed and continues to meet others.

At a restaurant, she meets her new blind date… only to bump into Qin Shi again.

After not seeing him for days, Qin Shi’s attitude is stranger than before.

Li Huanhuan greets him, but he coldly walks away. Two minutes later, he returns, holding back his emotions, and gives her an ultimatum: choose him, or he’ll tell Fox about her private blind dates.

Li Huanhuan thinks Qin Shi is insane.

Qin Shi glares at her and storms off.

Li Huanhuan’s life finally returns to normal: staying home, petting her cat, and living as a passerby. But then Qin Shi and his dog move in next door.

Qin Shi unexpectedly breaks his leg and is unable to take care of himself, so Li Huanhuan is asked by her elders to temporarily take care of him.

Recently, Li Huanhuan has noticed that the way Qin Shi looks at her has been growing more intense.

One day, Qin Shi traps her in the bathroom:

“Stop going on blind dates, is my eight-pack not enough for you?”

Li Huanhuan is shocked: “Are you losing your mind?”

Qin Shi: “I like you.”

How could the protagonist like a passerby?

Li Huanhuan doesn’t believe it. She waits for Qin Shi to regret it, but also turns down her family’s arranged blind dates.

However, instead of the plot being corrected and Qin Shi backing down, she ends up meeting with both families, who are now discussing her wedding with Qin Shi.

[Postscript]

Li Huanhuan is a video blogger.

One day, while livestreaming her cat, a domineering Husky dog’s head suddenly pops up, taking over the screen.

Viewers: “This Husky looks like Qin Shi’s dog~”

The next second, a man with eight-pack abs walks out of the room behind Li Huanhuan, wiping his hair.

Viewers: “This man looks even more like Qin Shi?!”

Viewers: “This is Qin Shi!!!”

The livestream room goes crazy.

When Qin Shi first saw Li Huanhuan, he decided to have “improper thoughts.”

[Through the book + era text + space + mind reading]

Pei Tiantian has crossed into the book and has become the control group of the heroine in a group-loving era text. Her whole family is cannon fodder.

The eldest cousin is a second-rate guy at the entrance of the village who fights all day long. In the end, he was imprisoned for manslaughter; the second cousin dropped out of school and dreamed of becoming a star all day long. In the end, he was deceived into working illegally in other places and died of overwork.

The original owner, Pei Tiantian, was a s*upid and poisonous love-brained female supporting role. She did everything to get the male lead, jumped up and down to oppose the female lead, and was finally sent to a mental hospital because she offended the mute villain who admired the female lead.

On the other hand, the female lead’s family, her brother became a top student admitted to the Imperial Capital University, and her sister married a rich man. The female lead, who grew up as a group of pets, had a koi physique, was beautiful and smart, and finally became a big star.

Pei Tiantian looked at her fleshy little paws and said with tears that she was not panicked. The portable space also came with her, and all the tragedies had not happened yet.

With her hard work, the cannon fodder cousin became the richest man in the city after going into business; the cannon fodder second cousin eventually became the first college student in the village to be admitted to the Imperial Capital Cinema.

Pei Tiantian was very satisfied. The only strange thing was that the mute villain who was supposed to admire the female lead looked at her more and more wrongly.

Since Gu Rong was able to hear other people’s voices, most of them were full of malice. He had long been accustomed to using loneliness and indifference to isolate himself, until one day, he heard a different voice.

Before their arranged marriage, Min Xizhi learned that Fu Yanzhou had feelings for someone else. He had secretly inquired about that woman’s well-being, showing a tender side she had never seen before. During their wedding, he asked, “Are you sure you want to marry?” Min Xizhi smiled and replied, “Why not?” He said, “Are you willing to confine yourself in a marriage devoid of emotions, only for the sake of benefits?” She didn’t want that, so she would make him fall in love with her and witness his tender side once again.

However, two years into their marriage, she still couldn’t make him like her. He remained cool and distant. Min Xizhi decided to end her obsession and absurdity towards Fu Yanzhou, presenting him with divorce papers.

Fu Yanzhou hesitated, but ultimately signed them. Concerned, he asked, “What are your plans now?” Min Xizhi didn’t reply aloud, thinking to herself, “From now on, I’ll no longer secretly love you and forget about you.”

After the divorce, Fu Yanzhou inexplicably couldn’t let go of Min Xizhi. He asked his secretary, “What has Xixi been up to lately?” Pausing for a moment, he continued, “How is she doing emotionally?” Secretary: “I heard she’s been going on blind dates.”

Fu Yanzhou fell silent.

A few weeks later, Min Xizhi confronted him, “Why did you ruin my blind dates?” Fu Yanzhou: “I’m sorry for what happened in the past.” He said in a low voice, “Xixi, would you like to start over with me?” Min Xizhi was momentarily stunned. “There’s no need. I’ve already moved on.”

Fu Yanzhou said, “It’s okay if you’ve moved on. I’ll keep you in my heart.”

In the eyes of others, she’s a proud and spoiled young lady, and the one thing Fu Yan Zhou dislikes the most is someone with a proud personality like hers. She was the one who proposed the arranged marriage, thinking that Fu Yan Zhou would refuse.

After marriage, she suggested sleeping with her head on his arm. Fu Yan Zhou disagreed, “You slept with my left arm last night, and it’s affecting my golf swing today.”

Min Xi said, “Then I’ll sleep on your right arm tonight.”

Fu Yan Zhou: “…” He pointed to the other side of the bed, “Sleep over there.”

Min Xi’s self-esteem was hurt, so she lay down with her back to him. Fu Yan Zhou sighed and pulled her back into his embrace, offering his arm for her to rest on.

After two years of marriage, Min Xi felt that she still couldn’t make Fu Yan Zhou fall in love with her; he only indulged her. She decided to end her years of infatuation with Fu Yan Zhou and handed him a divorce agreement.

Fu Yan Zhou hesitated for a long time, but eventually signed it and asked, “What are your plans now?”

Min Xi didn’t respond. But she thought to herself: I won’t secretly love you anymore; I’ll forget you.

After the divorce, Fu Yan Zhou couldn’t let go of Min Xi. One early morning, his secretary called him and nervously reported, “Min Xi has been busy with blind dates lately.” He thought he misheard, “Busy with what?”

Secretary: “Busy… with blind dates.”

When Min Xi was about to go on a blind date, Fu Yan Zhou intercepted her. She couldn’t believe that this man would actively pursue someone. He had flown back from another city in the middle of the night and appeared at her doorstep early in the morning. He looked at her and said, “Xi Xi, do you want to start over with me?”

PS: A sweet story. Male lead doesn’t have a white moonlight.

Fan Qi was deeply fond of a powerful figure from a Hong Kong novel—a man whose turbulent early life had shaped him into someone irresistibly charismatic.

But admiration was one thing. Fan Qi had never imagined she would wake up in 1986 Hong Kong, becoming the greatest misfortune in that man’s life—his deceased wife.

There was a line in the novel she had never taken seriously:

“If it weren’t for that loose woman, Chen Zhiqian would’ve lived up to his name—gentle and courteous. But now he’s half Buddha, half demon.”

“I heard that woman was stabbed twenty-seven times, every wound to the bone. Was it him who did it?”

“Shh…”

Yet when Fan Qi awoke, what greeted her were Chen Zhiqian’s dark, brooding eyes. A chill ran down her spine.

At that moment, the phone rang incessantly. She picked it up—it was her agent, urging her to hurry to a hotel and entertain a wealthy businessman. The agent even threatened that if she didn’t go, she could forget about making it in the entertainment industry.

Glancing at the TV broadcasting stock market news, Fan Qi replied, “I’m busy,” and hung up.

She went into the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles. Remembering the “twenty-seven stabs,” she split the noodles in half and gave some to Chen Zhiqian. And so began their life of eating from the same pot, sleeping on the same bed, minding their own business, and occasionally having a chat.

During the booming Hong Kong stock market of 1986–1987, Fan Qi—who had been a professional trader in her past life—made a killing and saved enough to buy a property. She then told Chen Zhiqian she wanted to end their strictly-platonic, shared-blanket sleeping arrangement.

Chen Zhiqian readily agreed, and Fan Qi was relieved by his reasonableness.

However, that very night… he didn’t want to talk anymore.

[Note: In his previous life, the male lead was a serious businessman. He didn’t kill the original wife.]

Rebirth + School Life + Top Student + Hilarious + Humorous]

[No System —]

Back then, Jiang Zhiyu was ranked first in the entire country, but after her rebirth, she became a despised and bullied academic failure. Once the school beauty, she has now fallen from grace and is considered ugly. Watch how she rises against all odds and turns the tables!

Papa Jiang: “If they bully you, I’ll buy the whole school and make myself the principal—let’s see who dares mess with you then!”

Greasy Lin: “Little fox, little fool, little dummy~”

The eternal number two: “How dare you beat me? I have to be number one!”

The arrogant one: “If anyone wants to hurt you, they’ll have to step over my dead body first!”

Forever the lackey: “Sister Yu, Sister Yu, what do you want to eat today?”

Lin Zhizhi suddenly finds herself transmigrated into a romance novel titled “Those Years of Secret Love.” However, instead of becoming the female lead, she shockingly becomes the male lead’s ex-girlfriend — a woman who is beautiful but notoriously vicious.

In the novel, this ex-girlfriend initially pretends to be kind and well-mannered.

At school, she is admired by everyone — though only by the boys. She makes just two appearances in the story: the first time, she suddenly shows up claiming to be pregnant with the male lead’s child and then leaves the country after giving birth to a son. The second time, she returns, attempting to use their son to rekindle the relationship, but the male lead coldly sends her back abroad.

After transmigrating, Lin Zhizhi touches her still-flat belly and looks at the aloof yet heartbreakingly handsome male lead before her. She thinks to herself: “I’m already having his child, so I might as well keep the father too.”

Meanwhile, the male lead, who has been trying his best to maintain a cold and distant demeanor while inwardly longing to kiss, hug, and lift his beloved wife high in the air, sighs: “This is just too hard!”

On the day Lin Zhizhi gave birth, Lu Yi heard the nurse’s congratulations and stared at the newborn baby boy in disbelief. “Wait… Where is Dad’s little cotton-padded jacket?

The four-year-old genius cutie, Zhao Jiaying, suddenly appeared in the CEO’s office and said to Ou Zichen: “Daddy, it’s me! I came to find you!”

Ou Zichen was stunned. As a man who had never been with a woman and had never donated s*erm, how could he suddenly have such a big daughter? He shouted at Zhao Jiaying: “Little girl, I am NOT your daddy!”

Second Uncle Ou Zilong: “Do a paternity test!”

Great-grandma Lin Zhenzhu: “Bring her back. From now on, she is the Young Miss of the Ou family!”
