Qiao Xi’s luck wasn’t like others who transmigrated into extraordinary adventures; instead, he ended up farming every day. After years of studying hard to escape the mountains and earn a decent living, he suddenly found himself poor again due to his transmigration, leaving him cursing his situation daily.... more>>

One day, he stumbles upon a dirty, unconscious man in the mountains and decides to bring him home. After cleaning him up, Qiao Xi discovers the man is surprisingly handsome and muscular, so he keeps him as free labor to farm and make a living together. Little did he expect that the man came with a small child in tow, and their lives grew increasingly harmonious—until one thing led to another, and Qiao Xi ended up in bed with his muscular helper. Ever the self-proclaimed straight man, Qiao Xi brushes it off as a purely platonic arrangement... until his belly starts to grow. When the village chief’s wife gleefully informs him he’s expecting, Qiao Xi is so shocked he faints on the spot.

Shen Yiguang, meanwhile, was once a general from a prestigious noble family, famed for his military achievements. At just 14, he was named a General of Courage and entrusted with the emperor’s dying wish to protect the young crown prince and secure the throne from the treacherous third prince. Injured during an ambush while fleeing with the prince, Shen Yiguang barely escapes death and collapses in the wilderness. When he awakens, the first thing he sees is a beautiful man taking care of him.

Lying low, he lived a peaceful life together with Qiao Xi while evading his pursuers, Shen Yiguang decides to win Qiao Xi’s trust by pretending to fall for the rugged but kind villager. Every day, he shows off his muscles, flaunts his martial prowess, and freeloads off his host until he successfully integrates into the household.

A year later, Shen Yiguang triumphantly leads his army back to the capital, restoring the young prince to the throne and reclaiming his status. However, when he looks back, he realizes his beautiful "wife" has run away! Panicked and no longer in denial about his feelings, the proud general floods the city with posters to find Qiao Xi, while the young crown prince issues a bounty of gold to assist in the search. <<less

You Shu transmigrated into a book and became one of the male protagonist’s shadow guards. He thought he was following a political intrigue script and as long as he hugged the male protagonist’s thigh well, he would reach the pinnacle of life sooner or later. He could also personally observe the male protagonist’s domineering side, expanding the harem and taking back the country. But the plot ended up going astray somewhere, and the good brotherhood in feudal society changed suddenly. He was inexplicably promoted to the position of Empress. Amidst the cheers of the shadow guards, he accepted the phoenix seal* with a dazed expression.... more>>

Xiao Weixin pretended to be sick and kept a low profile for more than 20 years. He worked hard to seize the throne and avenge his mother. But one day, he suddenly discovered that the little shadow guard beside him looked very good when he smiled. The fox’s tail moved quietly.

You Shu hated iron for not becoming steel*: Don’t you think there’s something wrong with your female lead smiling shyly at the second female lead?

Xiao Weixin: Oh.

You Shu: Can you succeed without the help of the female lead and the second female lead?

Xiao Weixin: En.

You Shu: I, this lackey*, am worrying about you…

Xiao Weixin: You are going to become Empress. Don’t talk nonsense and be careful with your words.

You Shu: …

The male protagonist was probably really crazy.

All the shadow guards: I have never seen such a dazzling moment in my life. Even shadow guards can have spring!

A shadow guard’s path to promotion that went astray.

Ruan Miao, who is delicate, frail, and upright, transmigrated into a sadomasochist novel and became a scheming green tea that everyone scolded. Not only did he make the kind and gentle shou protagonist, Jian Fanyu, suffer from ab*se, but he even managed to become the gong protagonist's unattainable white moonlight after his death.... more>>

Faced with this heinous plot trend, Ruan Miao, who just wanted to study quietly to get into a good university, was flustered. However, just when he was thinking about how to quit this bad triangle relationship, Jian Fanyu was reborn.
Ruan Miao glanced at young master Jian who was supposed to be "cold and elegant" in the original book, but now he was paranoid and gloomy, and his eyes turned dark.

Because the present Jian Fanyu seems to have a great interest in him.

In the previous life, Jian Fanyu and Yan Yang had been entangled for decades but they finally broke up. No matter how hard he tried, it couldn't make up for the dead white moonlight hidden in the other party's heart, and that white moonlight fueled Jian Fanyu's hatred for many years. After reliving his life, and seeing that hypocritical and weak face again, Jian Fanyu wanted to watch him kill himself with cold eyes but found that the man seemed different.

This is a short story about a little cutie who went from being hated by everyone to being loved by everyone after being transmigrated into a book. <<less
