Chu Zu was a novelist in his past life. He died from overworking himself to meet a deadline, pulling an all-nighter to finish his manuscript. After his death, he was bound to the “Marginal Character Correction System.” The system proposed a deal: if Chu Zu could successfully play the roles of hated side characters and “fix” them, he would be given a chance to live again.... more>>

Chu Zu: “So, I just have to tweak their personalities, right? That’s my specialty!”

First novel—

📖 Reader A: “You can dumb down a villain, but don’t expect your readers to be dumb too. Is that so hard to understand?”

📖 Same Reader A, later: “Holy shit, holy shit, HOLY SHIT! It was a mastermind’s scheme within a scheme within a SCHEME?! Grandpa Zu, I WAS WRONG! I SHOULDN’T HAVE SPOKEN SO LOUDLY!!!”

Second novel—

📖 Reader B: “Enough with this forced character setting. No matter how many times you repeat that he’s a ‘cute loyal dog,’ all I see is a bootlicker—a pathetic one that doesn’t even bark.”

📖 Same Reader B, later: “I TAKE IT BACK! He’s an invincible, sunshine-bright, loyal big dog! Where can I adopt one? A-ZU! LET ME RAISE YOU!!”

Third novel—

📖 Reader C: “Is the author’s life really that miserable? Do you have to create a character this venomous and unbearable? If you’ve hit a creative block, maybe just go get a real job?”

📖 Same Reader C, later: “F**K! LORD ZU, I’M SO SORRY! I’M AN UTTER FOOL!”

Fourth novel. Fifth. Sixth…

Chu Zu: So? My acting might be so-so, but I did a decent job fixing them, right?

The person who locked me up here was my own protagonist.... more>>

I was trapped in a dating simulation game based on an R-rated BL novel I wrote.

The woman I set up as an NPC and overseer demanded a happy ending for the protagonist. If it was the only way out, it had to be done.

However, the world was established freely, away from my setting, and the protagonist began to approach me.

“I called you. So, please exist only for me.”

He said with the most beautiful face.

“This is crazy.”

Unfortunately, after realizing the truth, there was nothing I could do about it. A twisted course, a mind that flowed helplessly.

And the hesitant choice at the end of it.

What should I do now?

Male protagonist: Mikael. The main character of the original novel and game.

He found out that there was a being who created him. From then on, all his reasons started with one and ended with one.

So, he had to do anything to keep her by his side.

The only one he would obey.

Female protagonist: Celina. The original author of the dating simulation game.

She went inside Celina’s body and acted for the happy ending of the main character, Mikael.

She just had to connect the main character with that man, so she didn’t think much of it. She had designed this world, so she was sure it wouldn’t be a problem.

But those were haughty thoughts. <<less

Shi Cun Jin is a renowned novelist. He closed his eyes a the night after discussing a major project and, upon opening them, transmigrated into a useless male Zerg.... more>>

Shi Cun Jin: ?

The original novel had turned from a HE (Happy End) to BE (Bad End).

He must correct the plot to return home, but the transmigration system is so weak that it went dormant and Shi Cun Jin almost died the night he transmigrated.

Low-quality start + catastrophic beginning. If he dies… it counts for nothing! I just finished discussing a major project!

Rather than saving the plot, he should first figure out how to save himself!

Shi Cun Jin found that the Zerg world was culturally impoverished when he absorbed memories [of his new body] . So he picked up his old profession overnight, live-streaming his writing on StarNet with a shockingly captivating title:

[My roommate always dresses very warmly. One day I came back early and unexpectedly discovered he has a tail hook?]

Passer-by Female Zerg: Wait a minute.

Passers-by female Zerg: What??

Countless zergs were shocked and clicked into this livestream… No one left until the broadcast ended.

On the first night of the new account’s broadcast, it parachuted to the top of the rankings!

Shi Cun Jin’s one battle to fame, his bl warrior sweeping through the rugged zerg world!

More and more female zergs squatted in the livestream room, mocking and saying no male zerg would act this way! —Then straightforwardly tipping.

After [Roommate] , the streamer launched the series [Colleague] , [Doctor] … and other bl melodramatic novels that these single female zergs couldn’t resist and passionately pursued!

Everyone wanted to know who the streamer was! But no one could find out.

Until one day, the always punctual streamer posted a suspension notice:

[Involved in a hornet tribe war, StarNet unstable, pausing updates.]

Millions of female zergs waiting for the livestream: ???

The leaders of both sides secretly following the updates: …

Ceasefire! Emergency ceasefire! First, get the teacher out!!

The civil war can be lost, but the dream and faith of single female zergs cannot die!!

*

—Even before sending the notice, Shi Cun Jin had already escaped danger.

Who would have thought that the wild and arrogant uke, whom the original author couldn’t control, would become attracted by others? He secretly loved following melodramatic stories and had quietly become Shi Cun Jin’s top donator, willing to charge straight into the war zone to save his CP.**

The cool guy’s face was smeared with blood at this moment, his gaze dark and sinister, his expression terrifying.

Conversely, the hands holding the male zerg were consistently trembling: their movements tight and anxious. Shi Cun Jin was held uncomfortably.

Anushka knelt on one knee and carefully grasped his hand, trembling and stammering, “…No, don’t be afraid, I’m sorry, I’ll use the inhibitor right away.”

Shi Cun Jin couldn’t help but reach out and touch his golden hair.

** The marked sentence has Online Dating mixed into this section of text, but CP is clearly stated in English at the end. It’s unclear from the summary alone whether he was already dating the author online or just wanted to save the author so that his favorite CP would not get their story axed.

Evelyn Dale's dream shattered one autumn day.... more>>

The day her fiancé, who had sworn love to her, inherited the Dukedom.

‘To put it simply, this is a prenuptial agreement.’

Jared, knowing that writing was as vital to her as life itself, demanded that she cease writing to maintain the dignity of a Duchess.

That night, Evelyn ran away from the Ducal residence and left the Trissen Empire.

Three years have passed since then.

She found great success as a bestselling author in the Kingdom of Ritten, but Evelyn's resolve not to return home remained firm.

"Empress Reinus wishes to meet the author Dennis Howle."

"......"

"Miss Evelyn Dale. She wants to meet you."

Until Bryant Clifton, the head of the publishing company, came to visit.

*

"Please spare some time before we depart. We need to get to know each other a bit."

Surely not. Evelyn furrowed her brow a little more.

"Mr. Clifton, are you coming with me?"

"Yes."

"All the way to the Empire?"

"Anywhere."

Evelyn was at a loss for words, staring at Bryant's face. She needed to refuse, but no suitable reason came to mind.

'I need to provide a reason why I can't accompany him. An objective and logical reason.'

However, no matter how desperately she thought about it, she couldn't find a way out.

It was a predicament. <<less

Lu Hui (pen name: Jun Chaoman) was a popular writer on a web fiction platform, known for his no-CP stories. His latest infinite flow novel featured a protagonist so villainous, the platform had repeatedly flagged his work for revision.... more>>

Staring at the latest mu*der scene he wrote, Lu Hui let out a long sigh:

“What can I possibly do to save you?”

That very night, Lu Hui transmigrated into his own infinite flow novel.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw his vengeful, easily blackened, cold-blooded, mu*der-is-nothing-to-him protagonist tied to a bed.

And he himself was sitting at the foot of that bed.

Lu Hui met his cold, mu*derous gaze:

“…..”

Truly a hell-level difficulty right from the start.

***

Because he knew his own character all too well, Lu Hui was very aware of what he needed to do to survive in the hands of this lunatic.

He used just enough mystery to preserve his life—but that very mystery also caught Ming Zhaolin’s interest. From that point on, every time they met again, unless Lu Hui came up with something new and surprising, Ming Zhaolin would try to kill him.

Everyone in this world knew that Lu Hui was Ming Zhaolin’s prey—prey that no one else was allowed to touch.

Once, a crazed follower of Ming Zhaolin took it upon himself to try to kill Lu Hui. As punishment, Ming Zhaolin crushed the man’s hand just because it had accidentally brushed against a strand of Lu Hui’s hair. His voice was laced with amusement, but carried unmistakable danger:

“You knew he was my prey, and you still dared to touch him?”

***

In this world, every player had a unique ability.

But Lu Hui’s ability was the most unique of them all—The God of Creation’s Card Deck.

He could draw cards that belonged only to him—cards no one else could use or command. <<less

Su Jinshi: "Buy!"

Watching these items materialize from thin air, Shen Shilang frowned. "Who dares play such supernatural tricks?"

Su Jinshi: "How rude. Address me as 'Master.'"

Shen Shilang: "Heh."

Later, Shen Shilang lay on the bed, face flushed as he clutched his collar. "Master, stop touching me."

Throughout his life, Shen Shilang had despised all talk of ghosts and spirits. Yet ironically, during his darkest days, his only companion was a "female ghost."

When others slandered him, she believed in him.

When he was besieged, she protected him.

When he was poisoned, she saved him.

He never imagined there would come a day when he would kneel at every temple in Great Xi, willing to sacrifice his own blood just for the chance to see her once more.

Until—

Su Jinshi spent a fortune in the system's store to purchase a teleportation gate, transporting herself directly into Shen Shilang's arms.

Shen Shilang loosened his collar: "Go on, touch me. Why’d you stop?” <<less

Since this had nothing to do with me, I was just planning to live by publishing a book.

But, the male lead suddenly appeared before me.

Of all things, holding the book that I had published with him as the subject.

Making all the excuses, I even read the book to prove my innocence.

“Don’t tell me you’re falling asleep… Huh?”

The male lead fell asleep.

“I’m not the one who saves you, Cain.”

“…That mouth.”

“You’ll meet a woman who’s much more benevolent and kinder than me, and she’ll save you…!”

“Shut up, Lia.”

The corners of his lips, which had been moving leisurely, twisted and rose.

“Okay, then let’s do this. The moment I leave this room, I’ll kill the woman you said is more benevolent and kinder than you.”

“…What, what did you say?”

“Bring as many people as you want.”

“….”

“Because there’s no one like you in this world.”

I was astonished to hear the male lead say that he would kill the heroine of the novel with his own mouth.

“You’ll be the one who will save me, Lia.”

The eldest daughter-in-law is a skilled farmer, and the second daughter-in-law is a skilled cook, but the third daughter-in-law is notorious for being lazy, neither working in the fields nor doing household chores at home. It is said that she is even unwilling to cook at home during the autumn harvest.

All mothers in the village were watching the scene while reminding their sons to marry someone who is more diligent in the future.

On the other hand, the Lin family doesn’t care at all. The third daughter-in-law is a bit lazy, but who told her to have the ability to write articles and earn money? Whenever she comes to the county town, she brings back meat and other food. Whose other daughter-in-law has this ability?

Since they have enough food to eat, it is just appropriate that they do more work at home.

The noise outside does not matter. Zhou Yunmeng, the third daughter-in-law of the Lin family, is currently calculating the supplies in the supermarket herself. She was thinking about what excuse to use when she brings back some meat and food on another trip to the county.
