Lin Xu, an 18-year-old high school student, made a sudden and dramatic transformation from an internet-addicted slacker to a cool and exemplary student, becoming an overnight sensation in the school.
But he himself was unaware of all this because before his transmigration, he was an ultimate social phobic. After transmigration, he inexplicably gained the notorious persona of a cool, badass gong online.
Obviously, the original Lin Xu was an immature high school student who, in order to make money, agreed to become the online boyfriend of a certain rich second-generation, embarking on a three-month online romance. And in the eyes of his so-called partner, he was a mature man with a magnetic voice + eight-pack abs + a successful career.
While his partner was discussing business in a five-star hotel, Lin Xu hesitated at the school gate, debating whether to buy some spicy hotpot, because the vendor would warmly remember the names of regular students.
While his partner was cruising in a luxury car, Lin Xu, as the flag bearer for the school sports meet, was standing at attention, his face stiff.
While…
Not only that, but his partner would also act cute with him every night, saying, “Gege, show your abs?”
Lin Xu had no choice but to take pictures with a flushed face, not daring to capture even a corner of his school uniform.
Finally, when the three-month period ended and the role-playing game was over, Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief. When the other party suggested meeting in person, he felt justified in deleting, blocking, and quitting the internet in one go, thinking he had finally paid off the original Lin Xu’s debt.
Later, when Lin Xu was forced to attend a classmate’s birthday party at a bar, his whole body tensed up. In the dim light, he saw a young man with a devilishly handsome face staring at him intently, a tear-shaped mole at the corner of his eye.
Lin Xu slowly lowered his head, filled with fear. He distinctly remembered that they weren’t from the same city, right?

The giant panda Yunian is a wild sub-adult male panda rescued by the Walnut Ping Base. Due to his exceptionally handsome appearance, he gained some fame after being rescued.
After careful consideration, the base decided to release Yunian back into the wild once he had recovered. However, to everyone’s surprise, the very next morning, the panda that had been set free the day before appeared again at the base’s gate, banging loudly on the iron door.
The researchers were both amused and exasperated.
Netizens burst out laughing: “Yunian knows what’s up—he’s aiming for a stable government job!”
Unfortunately for Yunian, the base refused his request for a permanent position. On the third day of his return, Yunian was once again released into the wild.
Months passed without any news of Yunian, and netizens started to believe he wouldn’t come back this time.
But one evening, the familiar sound of Yunian’s call and rhythmic knocking echoed outside the base’s gate once more.
Netizens sighed: “Looks like Yunian really can’t stay away from the base!”
The staff: “…”
Who could argue with that?
What shocked them even more this time was that Yunian didn’t come back alone—he brought along another male panda with an injured abdomen!
Netizens: “???”
Is he trying to bring in a friend to help secure a job?
Yunian’s name once again went viral, and the injured panda he brought back was soon given a new name: Songyi (as in “picked up one by Yunian and delivered another, hence Songyi”).
Netizens flooded the base’s official account, pleading for them not to release the two panda cubs back into the wild again.
But the base, firm in its principles, showed no favoritism. After Songyi recovered, both pandas were once again released.
This time, Yunian and Songyi disappeared from the public eye for two full years.
It wasn’t until three years later that their images were captured again by infrared cameras. By then, Yunian had grown into a mature five-year-old male panda. Coincidentally, the researchers even managed to capture footage of Yunian mating with another “female” panda.
Wait…
The researchers and countless panda fans stared in disbelief.
Why was Yunian being pinned down by the “female” panda?
Wait a minute…
Wasn’t that “female” panda actually Songyi, the one Yunian brought back three years ago for treatment?!
Yunian’s name once again caused a nationwide sensation, with countless panda fans flocking to social media, demanding a reasonable explanation from the experts.
The experts: “…”
An explanation?
Could it be that we need one too?

After the unexpected death of the famous celebrity Ye Yunian, he found himself reincarnated as the national treasure—the giant panda. After living out his life as a panda, he continued to be reborn as other animals such as a Siberian wolf, a leopard, and an orca…
As one of the most famous celebrities of his time, Ye Yunian always captured the spotlight no matter where he went. Even in his animal reincarnations, he remained a sensation.
From “Panda Seeking Permanent Government Position,” to “Freeloading Internet Sensation Siberian Wolf King,” to “Savvy King of Opportunists on the Prairie”…
All these legendary animals shared the same name—Yunian.
Over the years, whenever people heard rumors of some strange animal, they would instinctively ask, “Is it called Yunian and… acting kind of weird?”
And when the answer was yes, they would laugh, “Well, that explains everything.”
In both the human and animal worlds, the legend of Yunian continues.
“Protecting nature is everyone’s responsibility.”

Being a secretary is hard.
Being the secretary to a male boss is even harder.
Being the male secretary to a gay male boss?
That's the ultimate challenge.
Roger has always adhered to the number one rule of being a secretary:
Never engage with your boss outside of work, especially when you’re somewhat attractive.
After all, Roger is a hardcore straight man and homophobic to boot.
To this, his boss, He Songgao, merely smiles and replies:
“Straight men and their delusions—how do we fix this?”
Simple.
Fight poison with poison.
Let him confront his true feelings.
Because, in the end—
Homophobia is just a deeply closeted heart yearning for escape.
He Songgao X Roger
Cunning and calculative boss X naive and awkward secretary.
The story has a sweet ending, though the journey is full of twists and turns.

Jiang Zhulang, after enduring severe cyberbullying, finally decides to give up his 13-year-long comic career and find a normal job.
One evening, on his way home from work, he dreams of entering the world of his abandoned comic. In this dream, he becomes the protagonist, Lan Nuo, an outcast at the magic academy who unexpectedly binds to a bizarre forum system.
The system labels his comic harshly:
[Male protagonist Tie Feiwu: Forever a victim wherever he goes.]
[Terrible plot, a waste of space.]
Unwilling to accept defeat, Jiang Zhulang revisits his discarded plot outlines, steals treasures early, and plans to live a life of luxury. However, his flashy actions attract the villain, leading to his untimely demise.
Jiang Zhulang: "...If I'd known, I would've sewn an extra gemstone on my coat."
Back in the real world, the largest comic platform in China, Cat Comics, teems with talented authors. Yet, a newcomer with rough artwork shocks everyone with their debut comic titled: "Ready to Delete Account, Just Ten Likes Will Do."
Initially, forum discussions mock the comic:
"LOL, the male protagonist dies in the first chapter. No way this will go anywhere!"
"Even with crude art, the pacing is incredible. The story hooks you right away."
"I'm addicted. Is this what genius looks like?"
As the plot unfolds, the forum's tone shifts:
"What’s going to happen next? I’ve racked my brain and still can’t figure it out!"
"Here’s my 1,000-word analysis on the villain’s motives."
"AHHHH! I need to see inside the author’s head to understand where this is going!"
In the comic world, Jiang Zhulang reads the forum posts and remarks:
"Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll try out the top theories one by one."

Cute, innocent, and adorable receiver x Possessive, scheming, and overbearing attacker
The receiver is a cute and soft zombie (Nan Qing) who retains some human consciousness in the apocalypse. The attacker is a tough-talking but soft-hearted powerful ability user (Shen Xuanmo).
Shen Xuanmo accidentally discovers the unique little zombie, Nan Qing, and thus begins his long journey of coaxing and pursuing his wife. From initial curiosity to eventual possessiveness, he uses both soft and hard tactics to keep the clueless little zombie firmly by his side, even tricking him into vowing never to leave.
Early on, Shen Xuanmo: "Stop yelling! If you yell again, I'll throw you out!"
Nan Qing: Not daring to speak out of anger, trembling, he can only obediently follow him.
After spending time together: "Where are you going? Want to starve?"
Nan Qing: "Aowu!" Shaking his head, he indicates he doesn't want to at all; he's most afraid of being hungry. So, to avoid starvation, he continues to follow his keeper.
Later, Shen Xuanmo: "Qingqing, don't be afraid of me, and don't leave me, or I'll go crazy."
Nan Qing: "Ao." He tilts his head in thought and comes to a conclusion—He's so amazing! The keeper can't live without him.
After the apocalypse ends, Shen Xuanmo: "Baby, you're right about everything. As long as you don't leave me, whatever you say goes."
Nan Qing: "..."
In the 23rd year of the Longfeng reign, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace had been deposed for five years. Once a figure of otherworldly grace, he was banished to the imperial mausoleum, crushed under endless humiliation. That same year, the Emperor, blinded by the pursuit of immortality, let the West Bureau eunuchs seize power. At the helm was Xue Shu, the Chief Eunuch of the West Bureau-a man whose influence eclipsed the court, silencing opposition with a single wave of his hand.
Even the throne itself danced to his tune. Princes grovelled and schemed, desperate to curry favor, hoping he would elevate them to the imperial seat. But no one could’ve guessed that Xue Shu would one day retrieve the deposed Crown Prince from exile and personally help him ascend to the throne.
The once untouchable, iron-fisted eunuch, who held the empire in his grasp, willingly knelt at the feet of the resplendent new Emperor, offering himself as nothing more than a footstool.
On the eve of the enthronement ceremony, Yin Chengyu bathed and burned incense. The infamous Nine Thousand Years (Jiuqian Sui) cradled the imperial robes in his arms, personally dressing the future Emperor.
In the full-length bronze mirror, the scarlet-robed Chief Eunuch of the West Bureau wrapped his arms around the Emperor-to-be, lowering his head to breathe in his scent, his voice a husky whisper laced with a mocking smile: “Your Majesty has finally achieved your ambitions. Might you grant me the chance to fulfill mine?”
But it was all a dream.
Yin Chengyu woke, yanked from the memories of his past life. It was the 17th year of Longfeng. He was still the noble and untouchable Crown Prince. His mother’s family had yet to be slaughtered, and he hadn’t been confined to the mausoleum, isolated and helpless. There was still a chance to change his fate-by roping in that scheming eunuch and wagering everything on one final, desperate gamble.
Then he met Xue Shu again.

Huang Quanchuan Jiuyuan, a poor high school boy, joined a talent competition in hopes of winning the grand prize to pay his rent. While he gained a massive fan following, corruption behind the scenes caused him to lose in the final round, leaving him broke and on the verge of eviction.
Just as he’s about to lose everything, he binds to a supernatural urban legend system, gaining the power to impersonate roles from eerie and terrifying tales. Thus begins his journey of playing urban legends to gain reputation points and exchange them for money.
[The Slit-Mouth Man]: A once-aspiring star who died tragically during a forced cosmetic surgery. Now, he roams Yokohama in a black waterproof coat, dragging a sharp pair of scissors along the ground. Beneath his mask, his pale face and haunting blue eyes gleam in the darkness.
"Am I pretty?"
[Hanako in the Bathroom]: In a certain high school, on the third floor, if someone knocks on the bathroom stall and asks, "Is Hanako there?", a frail boy dressed in a white shirt and red suspenders will answer, coughing softly. Stretching out a pale hand, he asks:
"What is your wish?"
[Kisaragi Station]: A train that never stops at any known station. Alighting at the eerily empty platform, you search for an exit, only to find yourself in pitch darkness. Just as despair takes hold, a beautiful young man with a lantern emerges from the shadows, his lips curling into a mysterious smile beneath the swaying trees.
"My home is just ahead. Would you like to rest there for a while?"
Jiuyuan takes on increasingly sinister roles in these urban legends, questioning whether he can truly handle the challenge. But the sight of the massive reward numbers behind each task ignites his determination.
Jiuyuan: "I wanted to refuse, but the pay is just too good."
Soon, he becomes known as the Slit-Mouth Man on Yokohama streets, the mysterious Hanako in the bathroom, and the charming yet eerie figure at Kisaragi Station.
Jiuyuan: "Yes, it’s all me."
But rumors begin to circulate about a "Lord of a Hundred Ghosts," a figure who commands all the terrifying legends under his reign.
Jiuyuan: "…Ahem, yes, that’s also me."
Key Themes:
Disguise and Mystery: The protagonist juggles multiple identities, fooling the world with his personas.
Supernatural Urban Legends: A creative reimagining of Japanese ghost stories and urban myths.
Humor and Ambition: Despite the eerie premise, there’s a comedic undertone to the protagonist’s desperation and schemes.
Non-Romantic or Ambiguous CP: Focus on the protagonist’s growth and story rather than romance.

Shi Yang transmigrated into a cliché novel and became the arrogant, vain, and vicious cannon fodder. With his eyes open, he's committed to disrupting the relationship between the main couple, becoming a laughingstock. Moreover, he's bound to a wicked system.
Mission 1: Marry the wealthiest and most powerful man in City A and make him willingly leave his assets to you.
Mission 2: Become the darling of the Qin family.
Mission 3: Maintain your persona.
Shi Yang initially lies flat, thinking: "Being alive is good, being dead isn't bad either. I'm not doing these broken missions."
Until the mission targets appear one by one, each more attractive than the last. Shi Yang changes his mind: "If they all chase me..." "Mom, if Qin Yanchuan pins me down, what should I do?" "I'm willing to marry Mr. Qin, even if he's unwilling!"
One day, Shi Yang hides under the man's bed and is caught red-handed. He fidgets with his fingers, shyly smiling at the other person: "Mr. Qin, come on, please don't pity this delicate and weak flower."
Qin Yanchuan: "...Shut up if you want to live."
Later, Qin Yanchuan says: "Shi Yang, I admit I was a bit pretentious back then." "I'm older than them, I'll be more caring, and I'll give you all my assets. What can they compare with me?"
A post-apocalyptic overlord transmigrates to an ancient era. After failing to return to his original world, he decides to live out his life in this new one.
He buys a few acres of land, brings home a "ge'er" (a male capable of bearing children), and settles down with his husband, children, and a warm hearth.
But just as life starts to feel peaceful, natural and human disasters strike one after another: droughts, locust plagues, floods, epidemics, and war. With no other choice, he must take his husband and children and flee the famine-stricken lands in search of safety.
Shen Yuqing had just accepted a costume handed over by the innkeeper when he caught a whiff of something burning. His gaming helmet malfunctioned, and as he was about to lose consciousness, he still remembered to stash the costume in his backpack.
When he woke up, Shen Yuqing found himself in an unfamiliar world with a very familiar inn in front of him. Seeing the simple game interface and the teardrop-shaped beauty mark now adorning his face, he quickly realized he had somehow entered the body of his self-created game character.
But the surprises didn’t end there. After completing a few missions, the game interface updated, revealing the avatars of his alternate accounts as well. Shen Yuqing paused for a moment.
How many alternate accounts had he created again?
