Voice actor/streamer Vs Writer/CEO

After two years of dating, Lu Zhenqiu found out that her girlfriend Tang Yingxia had cheated on her. Instead of questioning her or making a fuss, she asked her friends to help her find a new place to live and move away in one night.

As luck would have it, the new landlord is Tang Yingxia’s archrival Jin Shuilan.

Jin Shuilan is a well-known writer and screenwriter. She has a withdrawn personality and is difficult to get along with. She is a typical flower of the high mountains in the industry, referred to as a lonely person. She has countless suitors, but she has never pretended to be with one and spoken bluntly about it and she has no scandals.

No one knew that she had someone hidden in her heart. Later, this person knocked on her door in the middle of the night and moved into her house.

The sales of the new book were good, and the magazine wanted to do an online live broadcast with Jin Shuilan and invite several guests, including Tang Yingxia.

Not long after the broadcast started, there was some barking sound from Jin Shuilan’s end, and a golden retriever appeared in the camera. The editor wondered: “Doesn’t Teacher Jin not have dogs?”

Jin Shuilan, the queen of loneliness, explained with a smile: “It’s my girlfriend’s dog.”

All the readers in the live broadcast room: What!!!

Tang Yingxia’s face turned green when she saw the golden retriever’s customized collar and stood up. <<less

Reincarnated in a fantasy world. All of the novels worth reading here appear to be SAT English problems. So I began writing my own fantasy novels as a hobby to augment my previous job.... more>>

However, the novel I wrote had an odd ripple effect. That’s fantastic as well. <<less

The literature of this other world was atrocious.... more>>

So, I plagiarized.

Don Quixote, Anna Karenina, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Metamorphosis... I thought that unraveling the literature of the original world would advance the literature of this other world.

"Those who dream and those who do not, who really is the mad one?"

"To live or to die, that is the question."

"No matter how fatal the mistake, it is different from a sin."

But then, people began to immerse themselves too deeply in the novels I plagiarized.

Can't a novel just be seen as a novel...? <<less

Qiao Yu suddenly finds herself transported into an unfinished romance novel, and a system informs her that she must continue writing the story based on the events in the book's world. As she opens the writing interface, she notices two floating orbs resembling computer assistants—one labeled "Reader Satisfaction" and the other "OOC Level."... more>>

Qiao Yu: What are these?

System: Those are your destiny.

As Qiao Yu takes on the role of a classmate of the male and female protagonists, her life becomes hectic as she struggles to find suitable material for the story. She wants to write about the sweet school life of the male and female protagonists sitting together, but her seat mysteriously ends up between them, and the male protagonist refuses to switch places with her.

Feeling confused, Qiao Yu can only write in her story: "Love is a hand that wants to touch but pulls back, and the appropriate distance brings them closer."

She also wants to depict the emotional progress of the male and female protagonists during their travels, but throughout the entire trip, they separate and she ends up spending her time with the female protagonist, going out during the day and soaking in hot springs at night. The only thing she knows for certain is that the female protagonist has a nice figure, but she doesn't dare write about it in the story.

The story progresses slowly with extensive psychological descriptions, and both orbs' values remain stable. The comments section is filled with praise, hailing her as a writer who excels in portraying delicate emotions. Only Qiao Yu knows that she has nothing to write about, and she laments quietly, "Why is the progress so slow?"

While Qiao Yu is lost in her thoughts, Lin Qing, who is feeding her dried fruits, suddenly grabs the back of her head and kisses her. After a moment, Lin Qing releases her and reveals a deep, night-like gaze in her usually clear eyes. She softly smiles and asks, "Is it still slow now?"

Qiao Yu completely freezes, and in her mind, the two orbs from the writing interface and the clear classification of "romance" appear vividly. It's over—she has unintentionally turned her romance novel into a yuri story! Her life is surely over today! <<less

A distinguished guest was welcomed to the palace of the Arilance Empire.... more>>

This lord was said to be a noble emperor.

After hearing this, the people of the empire scoffed. Who’s emperor would wander around in despair? This man must be a liar.

The emperor of the Arilance Empire was a tyrant.

The people of the empire placed their bets, speculating on the date when the liar would be beheaded by the emperor.

Three months, five months……

Months have passed, and the liar has not yet been beheaded. The people of the empire can barely remember about it.

One day, the blue sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Holy archangels and black-winged demons stood together, headless hors**en rode on abyssal dragons, and thousands of troops came from a distance.

——They came to meet their emperor.

That day, almost everyone in the city saw the powerful foreign race at the head and the thousands of troops kneeling down on one knee to the liar in the palace, with their right hands clenched into the left side of their chests.

——The world is ignorant, only the emperor shines with the sun and the moon.

——I offer my heart and loyalty to my lord.

The people: ……

Physically confronting your abusive superior might be cool and satisfying when it happens in a drama, but, as Kazuo Sugishita is learning, it's less cool when you're sitting at home afterwards, terrified to learn how you'll be punished when you return to work the next day. The sentence he faces sounds surprisingly lenient - just a temporary reassignment to the company's entertainment department while things blow over. But he changes his mind when he gets the specifics: Kazuo has been assigned as manager-in-training (read "servant") to Shiro Hoshizono, the "Star Watcher": A pompous, showoff-y, completely insufferable talent with no actual talents except using his sickeningly sweet words and foreign model looks to seduce lonely middle... more>> aged women into paying for the privilege of hearing him speak.

The day after his new assignment, Kazuo and Hoshizono leave for Saitama Prefecture, where Hoshizono has been recruited to become an image character for a campground in the mountains, alongside a group of other colorful characters, including a romance novelist with the looks of Cleopatra but the personality of someone's grandpa and a UFO obsessed conspiracy theorist.

But the morning after their arrival, their host is found strangled to death in his lodge, the road back is buried in an avalanche, and... you can probably see where this is going.

Turns out, despite how he comes across normally, Hoshizono is actually a genius detective!

The novel features a unique chapter naming scheme where each chapter is titled as a three to four sentence summary of its own contents, focused upon what information about the case is discovered and what evidence appears, for ease of reference.
