Shen Jixing, the legendary Emperor of the Chinese entertainment industry, was like a pristine, lofty snow peak—noble and cold, firmly seated on the throne of the industry’s top spot.

But one day, he was swept up in a massive wave of negative scandals—

His status plummeted.

Homeless, he calmly knocked on his arch-rival’s door: “Zhou Yili, I have nowhere to go…”

The newly-rising top star, tall and leggy, leaned against the door, a black diamond stud in his ear, his demeanor carefree and with a blend of rascality and arrogance, lazily lowering his gaze and sneering at him.

“The person who smashed a bottle on my head, leaving me bleeding and almost dead, dares to show up in front of me?”

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you, baby?”

“…”

Zhou Yili, the newly-rising top rock musician, reached the peak immediately upon debut. Some say he was born for the entertainment industry, like an untamed wolf powerfully sweeping across the industry.

Only he himself knows—

“I don’t belong to the entertainment industry.”

Offstage, he pressed the beauty he’d long desired against the wall, “I only belong to you.”

Quotes from various main character groups:

In countless worlds, there is such a person.

Either walking alone on a thorny path.

Or dying in the darkness before dawn.

Or servile, yet standing tall before death.

Or never grasping the light they vowed to protect.

This person is their teacher/senior/companion, the guide for many, and their most untouchable regret.

One-Sentence Introduction: What setting did the sword men imagine for me today?

Theme: Kinship, Friendship

To save the world, the Auditor obtains the [Sword Gentlemen] system, role-playing as various sword spirits in different worlds, protecting history while seeking a way to save the world.

...Well, you might find this opening somewhat familiar; it's borrowed from my colleague next door.

Let me introduce myself. I am an Auditor, code number S100, codename Shibai.

After accepting this secret mission, I, wearing the shells of sword spirits, arrived in various worlds. However, I soon discovered that they always like to add drama to me.

I have never experienced a broken sword, nor have I been forced to do things against my will. I have not turned dark, nor have I hidden anything to keep you from worrying. I am truly a kind and beautiful [fake] sword spirit, not the strong and enduring little pitiful one you describe.

Please, spare me.

One-Sentence Introduction: The daily life of acting as a sword spirit and being forced to imagine.

Theme: Saving the world

After seven consecutive all-nighters, Komino Seiryou suffers a sudden cardiac arrest and unexpectedly finds himself briefly transmigrated into the dating simulation game he was playing. However, upon waking, he completely forgets the experience and happily returns to work.

The broken game world doesn’t take this well.

Dragged back by the collapsing worldlines, Seiryou learns from a system that his consciousness’s withdrawal triggered a catastrophic self-destruction sequence in the game’s characters, resulting in numerous bugged Dead Endings. To fix the chaos, he’s forced to replay the game, meticulously arranging tragic, bittersweet endings for himself in various scripts.

From fading away like morning dew to sacrificing everything for truth, Seiryou’s roles as the ideal “White Moonlight” multiply. Each character he inhabits leaves a lasting impression, whether as the mysterious villain who opened a forbidden door or the selfless companion who melts into the fabric of a city.

Returning to reality after these heart-wrenching adventures, Seiryou finds his world irrevocably changed. Familiar figures from the game appear on his commute, including a friend he failed to meet, subordinates he didn’t get along with, and even rival bosses with sudden enthusiasm for his company.

As these once-fictional bonds grow stronger, Seiryou realizes that while he might have shaped a series of Dead Endings, his own life might not be doomed just yet.

Content Warnings:

Expect dramatic and tragic themes with heavy doses of emotional intensity.

While there’s no confirmed romance (and CP may remain undecided), relationships of all types—romantic, platonic, familial—are explored.

The story features overpowered characters, major deviations from canon, and an unconventional narrative focus.

Themes:

Loving and trusting others while navigating one’s own limitations.

Finding purpose even in a flawed and challenging world.

An ambitious man walking on a path of tactics that are filled with sharp knives,

A nobody cutting his way through thistles and thorns on a path of salvation,

A scholar-official who is always vigilant during his journey of managing disorders.

An idealist who is ready to risk any danger to reach his goals during his journey of salvation.

This is a story about power and conspiracy, the battlefield of the imperial court, love and hate, ideals and beliefs first broken and then established.

The ancient sword, Changge of the State of Yan was disturbed by graverobbers and turned into a human form. He then entered modern society and had a hard time.

What’s an ID card? What’s a bank card? Why was it that when he pawned the sword tassel from his own body he was treated as a reseller of cultural relics?

Not to mention, the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth is too thin to cultivate with. Yan Changge was facing a crisis of insufficient spiritual energy and risked being transformed back into an evil weapon and sent to a museum for exhibition with his sword tassel. Yan Changge, who is unwilling to kill people and cultivate the demonic way, can only accrue merits to maintain his human form.

So, this is a story about an evil weapon with evil spirits doing good deeds in modern society.

The person benefiting from said good deeds: Mom! He’s so scary! Is he going to kidnap me?!

Q: How do you cosplay as someone's close friend, sibling, relative, or even them right in front of them?

A: 0829: Thanks for the invite. I recommend using the card system and enjoying the thrill of being scammed and the joy of world consciousness suddenly assigning you new tasks mid-mission.

This is the story of an unlucky soul who signed a contract with a system and embarked on an endless journey through various worlds, constantly tricked into playing roles.

Notes:

The story is about 200,000 words and is completed.

The system has a low presence and only occasionally appears. You can treat it as an alternative cosplay transmigration story, with characters referred to by the roles they play in each world.

OOC (out of character) moments will happen—apologies for being inexperienced.

The title was chosen randomly; this is essentially a gacha card-based story.

After transmigrating three years ago, Lin Jinyan found himself in a tough life: a destitute mother, mountains of debt, a sickly younger brother, and his own battered body. Obsessed with money, Lin worked himself to the bone, taking up to eight jobs a day while fending off harassment from local thugs.

Three years of struggle later, he decided there was only one way out: cling to a powerful backer. His target? The notorious Qin Wu.

Lin Jinyan didn’t settle for small fry. If he was going to bet, it would be on the biggest shark in Hong Kong. If he succeeded, he could live as a king. If he failed, well—eighteen years later, he’d just be another man again.

Qin Wu was a legend in Hong Kong’s underworld—a kingpin among kingpins. Charismatic, ruthless, and wealthy, he ruled with an iron fist. His loyal followers were as fierce as wolves.

Qin Wu: “So, you only love my money?”

Lin Jinyan (earnestly): “What nonsense! I love your power and your brainless goons too. They follow every order, after all.”

Qin Wu: [shuts the door with a smile]

Lin Jinyan’s grin faltered: “…Seriously?”

If you can’t take a joke, don’t play the game.
