Song Yunhui is the young master of the Song family. When he was young, his mother died of illness and his father married another woman, bringing him a younger brother.... more>>

Since then, he has never experienced the feeling of being held in the palm of someone’s hand.

He studied hard and practiced calligraphy and piano with little success, failing to gain anyone’s love and appreciation.

As soon as he entered the entertainment industry, he was accused of being jealous of his younger brother’s fame. He was accused of stealing scenes while acting, of lip-syncing while singing, and people even accused him of having bad intentions while saving a fellow actor who fell in the river.

Finally, he was successfully blacklisted all over the Internet, and everyone condemned him.

After rescuing the actor who fell into the river, he fainted. When he woke up again, Song Yunhui discovered that this world is a book, and his brother is the protagonist. Song Yunhui is simply the cannon fodder obstacle on the protagonist’s path that everyone hates.

His father likes his younger brother. The person he likes likes his younger brother. Even the internet only likes his younger brother.

No matter what he does, no matter how well he does it, no one will care.

Song Yunhui thought about it.

If you don’t like someone, leave. If people don’t like you, don’t force yourself.

After he packed up and announced his retirement, he found a small villa in a small town. There, he would write songs by himself and occasionally stream while singing and playing games to support himself.

From time to time, he’d go to the neighbors house and poach a meal. It’s a very comfortable life. <<less

Lin Zhusheng, an ordinary yet hardcore and heavy-spending player of the game Floating Life, finds himself in an unexpected situation.... more>>

Floating Life is a massive open-world cultivation MMORPG, where players start as lowly sect disciples and work their way up through hard work and favorability grinding. With a high degree of freedom, one can go from a mere janitor to the number one beauty, forming bonds and even choosing a Dao companion. The game is marketed for its deep immersion.

After six months of relentless grinding, Lin Zhusheng maxes out his level and achieves an official title, gaining full favorability with every notable NPC in the game. With nothing left to do, he decides to start over with a new character.

But when he closes and opens his eyes again, he realizes—

He has fully transmigrated into the game. Body and all.

⸻

What Happens Next?

Faced with the choice between slacking off or grinding, the experienced gamer chooses the only logical path:

Max out favorability.

Soon, the disciples and elders of the Tian Sect notice a strange new disciple among them:

He always wears every piece of clothing he owns in odd layers.

His tiny storage pouch can somehow fit an entire beast carcass, yet he constantly complains about lack of inventory space.

He experiences sudden bouts of poverty, during which he lets out anguished cries of “I’m never drawing gacha again!”

Despite always being busy, he somehow finds time to hand out small gifts to everyone—a flower, a shiny stone, or a snack.

Though no one understands his logic, their favorability toward him increases daily.

NPC Perspectives:

You are a proud young master from a prestigious family, locked in a rivalry with your sworn enemy. As you prepare to defeat and mock them in a duel, they suddenly smile at you—

…and hand you a small gift.

Your face turns red. “I… I like it.”

You are a trusted lieutenant of the Demon Lord, infiltrating Tian Sect for years. One day, your demonic aura is exposed, and just as you prepare to eliminate witnesses, a disciple suddenly—

…hands you a demonic clan-exclusive pastry.

You tearfully take a bite. “The demon flowers are blooming back home… Lord, I must take him with me.”

You are the dignified Grand Elder, a man so strict that all disciples fear you. You do not indulge in earthly pleasures.

Yet, a certain disciple persistently gifts you a peach-flavored pudding in the shape of a flower.

One bite, and you tear up. “Without him, no one would ever treat me like a child again.”

Enter the Most Difficult Character to Romance—Tian Sect’s Eldest Senior Brother.

The hardest NPC to win over in Floating Life, and the only one no player has ever successfully romanced.

A true prodigy, admired by all.

Even when framed and cast into disgrace, he remains unyielding like a sword, unwavering in his beliefs.

Before his fall, he was showered with exquisite gifts from countless admirers.

Among them, one junior disciple always rushed over in a hurry, only to drop a single flower at his doorstep before dashing off again.

He never cared for such gestures. He never accepted a single one.

But when he was imprisoned in the cold, desolate Heavenly Abyss, forgotten by all—

That same junior disciple arrived again.

Despite the icy winds and treacherous cliffs, he stubbornly made his way to the frozen prison, his nose red from the cold,

smiling as he offered a wilted blue flower, now frozen stiff from the journey.

For the first time, the unshakable Senior Brother took the gift. <<less

Chen Bai died from overwork while trying to pay off a million-dollar debt.... more>>

To his surprise, he becomes a side character who not only shares his name and appearance but is also burdened with an even greater debt left by his father—a staggering million yuan. In the original storyline, this character is destined to be a mere stand-in for the male lead’s lost love, enduring an abusive relationship and ultimately succumbing to despair by taking his own life.

Refusing to repeat the tragic fate scripted for him, Chen Bai confronts his overwhelming debt with unwavering determination. Embracing his innate work ethic, he juggles eight jobs a day—by day, a dedicated stand-in actor fully immersing himself in his role; by night, a relentless worker taking on odd jobs and live-streaming until the early hours. His exceptional skills and genuine dedication not only help him chip away at his colossal debt but also inadvertently capture the attention and affection of the male lead.

When the original love returns, the male lead realizes he can’t let go of his feelings for Chen Bai. In a grand romantic gesture filled with flowers and music, he confesses his love. Yet, ever the pragmatist, Chen Bai interrupts to take a call, casually announcing that his shift has ended and he must head to his next job—unlocking someone’s door.

Stunned, the male lead asks if there’s someone else. Chen Bai simply replies, “I need to go unlock someone’s door.”

Balancing his roles as a professional stand-in and a part-time locksmith, Chen Bai navigates his new life with practicality and resilience. In defying his predestined path, he transforms from a tragic side character into the unexpected hero of his own story.

A witty and heartwarming tale of determination and self-reliance, this novel explores how one man’s relentless work ethic and refusal to accept a doomed fate can rewrite the pages of destiny—even within the confines of a fictional world. <<less

In every novel, there are always some villains with tragic pasts and twisted personalities, acting as stumbling blocks on the protagonist's life path.... more>>

Chen Luosong, as calm as pine trees, with a stable temperament and a charming smile, is an outstanding employee of the Transmigration Bureau dedicated to reforming villainous characters.

He has reformed not limited to but including young masters of wealthy families, fallen 18th-tier celebrities, and the banished son of a demon lord.

The solitary pine will quietly accompany until spring's warmth, and even on abandoned planets, it will bloom fervently.

[World One] The son of the wealthiest man in the world was kidnapped by human tr*ffickers, endured hardships in exile, and suffered poverty and cold. After news of his father's death spread, the person claiming to be his father’s secretary brought him back, giving him a home and truly making him a complete person.

[World Two] An actor who offended someone and got blacklisted was dragged onto a drinking table. The person sitting at the head of the table helped him adjust his pulled-down collar.

This person led him out of adversity, propelled him onto the big screen, and stood under the bright spotlight.

[World Three] The banished son of a demon lord was adopted by a gentle but frail mortal in the human world.

The world always has those protagonist-like individuals—escaping from horror games, bearing the responsibility to save the world from monsters alongside their companions. Due to such and such reasons, they have no choice but to live in ordinary citizens’ homes, outwardly portraying themselves as typical high school students while secretly battling monsters and leveling up. ... more>>

And the ordinary citizens are ordinary but kind, always tolerant of the protagonist’s late returns, providing a gentle sanctuary.

Jiang Yujin, however, is the antithesis of that ordinary citizen. Running a struggling business, living an unkempt life, the protagonist attends school by day, fights monsters after school, and even returns home to do his laundry and cook for Jiang Yujin.

Yet even a laid-back person needs to turn things around. Despite financial deficits, Jiang Yujin briefly stands tall.

While the protagonist battles monsters, he helps someone find their lost cat. While the protagonist tirelessly protects the school from monsters, Jiang Yujin is involved in romantic escapades with the Special Investigation Unit for Strange Species (?!). While the protagonist hunts for clues behind the scenes, Jiang Yujin, with a small skirt in hand, pretends to be a rich lady in an online romance scam.

When the protagonist and allies face a major monster, Jiang Yujin… well, he stays up all night playing mahjong and ends up lying dead drunk at his doorstep.

When the protagonist finds themselves in a precarious situation…

The dead lying at the doorstep vanished.

——

Beside the massive monster’s corpse, in front of the protagonist’s group, a man with snow-white hair blowing backward, holding a blade stained with threads of blood.

Amidst the silence, Jiang Yujin, the ordinary citizen, lowers his eyes, bending slowly with the blade’s support:

“Urgh—”

Surely shouldn’t have had those two drinks after playing mahjong.

Protagonist’s group: “…”

Xu Tonggui, captain of the Special Investigation Unit, known as the living Yama in everyone’s eyes, a workaholic whose life revolves only around his job. Everyone thought he would remain a lifelong bachelor. Even the members of the Special Investigation Unit believed so.

Until one day, they saw their captain pinning down someone whose hair was so disheveled it covered their face, gritting his teeth as he asked in a low voice, “Drinking again?”

The hair covering half the face was lifted by a large palm, and the person pinned down on the car glanced sideways—

That day, the members of the Special Investigation Unit understood two things:

Never underestimate someone who seems unkempt.

The captain has a damn good eye.
