Gu Jinmian both loved and hated the great god author He Bujin.... more>>

There would always be a male supporting character that poked his heart in his works, but the author always abused his favorite male supporting character for the sake of his protagonist.

In the latest update, Eldest Young Master Gu spent millions trying to make the author treat his favorite character better.

However, the author wrote the male supporting character dead.

Later, Gu Jinmian unexpectedly transmigrated into the book with darkened eyes and became a powerful man.

Since forcing the dog author to be good to his favorite character didn’t work out, then he’ll do it himself.

However, there seems to be something wrong with this beautiful man that never gives in to his fate.

He handed in the resources himself, yet the male supporting character didn’t even lift his eyelids. He looked like he’d rather rot in a corner and be a salted fish.

He robbed the main character’s resources for him, yet the male “ salted fish” supporting character returned it to the protagonist, and was even hurt and bitten by the protagonist in the process.

Gu Jinmian was shocked and heartbroken. This must be because of the dog author He Bujin, he shouted: “Curse you He Bujin!!”

The male supporting character lifted his eyelids, “Who are you scolding?”

“It’s because of that He Bujin! It’s this dog that has caused you so much misery. I will definitely put him in a sack!”

The male supporting character showed a sullen smile, eyes bright and dark, “Oh?”

******

He Bujin spent all his life being miserable, gloomy and violent. After he settled down in a high position, he wrote his own experience into several books like self abuse. The supporting role with his own shadow in the book–the more sympathy others gave him–the more miserable he was and the more ruthless he wrote.

Destiny made a mockery of him, and made him transmigrate as the man inside the book and experience misery again.

However, an asteroid accidentally fell into the gray and depressing book, rushed into his life without reason, and drilled into his arms with light and heat.

That person took his hand and a tear fell on the wound on his palm. “Don’t hurt yourself, OK?”

He Bujin just stared at him, with dark eyes and tight throat. “OK.” <<less

The Third Prince, Zong Luo, and the King of Beining, Yu Beizhou, have been at odds with each other.... more>>

Water and fire were never compatible. Their tit-for-tat confrontation was exhaustible.

Unfortunately, things went awry. After an imperial edict came, Zong Luo laughed facing the heavens. His ink hair was scattered, and he closed his eyes and committed su*cide under the city gate.

However, he woke up again.

Following that, he became entwined with Yu Beizhou once more, till death eventually came upon him.

His enemy’s face was stunning, flamboyant, and sinful. Only after staring at him did he only notice a little bit of light floating within his unfathomable eyes.

“Senior martial brother,” Yu Beizhou said in a low voice, grasped his sword in hand, and touched his eyebrows intimately, “We meet again.”

…….

That night, Zong Luo had a dream.

He dreamed that after his death, the man sewed up his uncollected body, and kept it in an ice coffin for nine years.

Glory, wealth, and world domination that will last for thousands of generations- Zong Luo didn’t want it, but Yu Beizhou got it all.

However, no one knows that after going to court every day, after the tyrant dismissed the palace servants, he would walk into the cold bed chamber alone.

“Senior martial brother, it’s already nine years.” Yet it’s still so cold no matter how warm it is.

“I hate you so much.” He held the body in his arms and muttered to himself.

-Hate is the strongest form of love- <<less
