"If anyone has to choose between a friend who doesn't respect boundaries and the person they love... the choice should always be you." Lin Feng thought he was just reading another frustrating, dog-blood web novel. But when the story ends with Chu Ran-a fragile, deeply introverted protagonist-leaving his toxic, neglectful boyfriend out of sheer insecurity, Lin Feng throws the book against the wall in absolute rage. He refuses to read the final pages, completely missing the hidden "Special Extra Chapter" where the original boyfriend breaks the fourth wall, crying out to the readers for help. When Lin Feng wakes up the next morning, he is no longer in his bedroom. He has transmigrated into the body of that exact same "trash boyfriend," Shen Yi. Caught in the middle of the original plot, Lin Feng inherits a relationship on the brink of collapse, a manipulative childhood female friend, and a fiercely controlling mother. But worst of all, he inherits the quiet, suffocating tears of Chu Ran-a boy who has learned to swallow his jealousy and hide in his shell. Armed with nothing but his memories of the book and pure indignation, Lin Feng decides to completely tear up the original script. From blocking the toxic friend to building a cozy publishing house dedicated to the boy he loves, Lin Feng vows to protect his quiet introvert at all costs. Little does he know, back in his original world, a new sequel titled 《Project: Redemption》 has just begun to write itself... A story of a furious reader who crossed dimensions to become the anchor an introvert always deserved.

"Jīn wǎn yuè sè zhēn měi." To eighteen-year-old Shen Shu, who is frantically cramming for the *Gaokao* college entrance exams, it is just a strange phrase his brilliant, enigmatic tutor loves to repeat at midnight. Busy memorizing physics formulas and trying to rewrite his destiny, Shen Shu has zero time for literature-and zero time for romance. >In his past life, Shen Shu was a textbook failure who died young, leaving his family in ruin. Granted a second chance, he wakes up back in his high school desk, determined to correct his past mistakes and get into the nation's top university. >Enter Ji Huaiqing. A bored billionaire heir who takes up a part-time home tutoring gig just to kill time. He expects a spoiled, lazy teenager. Instead, he meets a boy with bloodshot eyes and a strange, haunting maturity that refuses to back down. Bound by the strict lines of an age gap and a teacher-student dynamic, Ji Huaiqing locks his mounting desires behind a wall of absolute restraint. He cannot touch him. He cannot ruin his focus. So, night after night, as they study by the silver glow of the window, he pours his hidden love into a secret literary phrase-one that he strictly forbids Shen Shu from looking up on the internet. "Don't look it up, Xiao Shu. If you find out the meaning before the exams are over, I will walk out that door." Will Shen Shu manage to bridge the four-year academic gap and claim his new future? And what happens when the exams finally end, Shen Shu turns nineteen, and the forbidden phrase is spoken one last time? An ultimate slow-burn, domestic danmei filled with academic tension, quiet yearning, and a possessive, deeply respectful Gong who is willing to play the longest game.

"You just write the melody. I will spend forever catching your notes." In his first life, Zixuan was nothing more than a tragic footnote. As a talented rookie trapped under the ruthless corporate tyranny of Starfield Entertainment, his voice was systematically silenced, his spirit psychologically broken, and his career ended with an extortionate multi-million-dollar breach-of-contract penalty. Driven to absolute despair, Zixuan chose to end his misery by leaping from a freezing concrete rooftop. The world believed his story was over. But music has its own way of demanding a reckoning. This time, Zixuan is no longer walking alone in the dark. Right by his side is Yifán-a man who, in this lifetime, refuses to be a second too late to build an unyielding fortress around his muse's voice. This is a story of corporate greed unmasked, the rise of a new musical empire, and a devotion powerful enough to completely rewrite a dead man's score.

"If you can hear me, Lianyu... you should know that your waist looks incredibly small in that shirt. I wonder if I can wrap both my hands around it." For two years, Xie Lianyu lived a double life. Ever since a freak accident involving a 40°C fever and a flight of stairs, he was cursed with the Ling-Tong tether-the mystical ability to read the unfiltered minds of anyone within a five-meter radius. He survived the daily onslaught of human pettiness by building thick mental walls, fully believing the ancient legend that the curse would only break when he shared a first kiss with his fated soulmate. Lianyu accepted his fate as a lifelong bachelor. After all, true love felt like a myth. Until he stepped into an elevator with Lu Jue. Lu Jue was the undisputed tyrant of the corporate world-a tall, ruthlessly handsome CEO whose icy glare could freeze water. Employees cleared hallways just to avoid him. But the moment their five-meter radiuses overlapped, a booming, dramatic, and hopelessly smitten voice blasted directly into Lianyu's brain: [Oh my god. An angel. Look at those soft, fluffy curls... I want to pocket him and take him home.] Traumatized and bursting into uncontrollable blushes, Lianyu does everything he can to flee from the CEO. But Lu Jue is hyper-observant. It doesn't take long for the cold-blooded corporate monster to realize that his cute little data analyst can hear his every thoughts. And that's when Lu Jue decides to weaponize his inner monologue.

All Lu Xingchi wanted after transmigrating into a melodramatic web novel was to live the ultimate "salt-fish" life-lazy, low-profile, and completely irrelevant to the plot. His survival plan as a nameless intern was simple: stay out of trouble and mind his own business. The only problem? He was bound to a high-tech "Melon-Eating System" that constantly fed his brain with the juiciest, most scandalous secrets of the high-society elite around him. But the ultimate system glitch? It completely forgot to warn him that his boss-Xie Cangqiong, the infamously cold, ruthless, and terrifying billionaire CEO-could hear every single one of his thoughts. While Lu Xingchi was busy broadcasting chaotic rants, biting sarcasm, and highly descriptive commentary about how ridiculously attractive his boss was, Xie Cangqiong was listening to every single word. "Xingchi, your mind is exceptionally noisy today," Xie Cangqiong whispered, trapping the trembling intern against his executive desk. "And according to what you just thought... you want me to skip the lunch meeting and do *that* in my office instead?" Lu Xingchi: [SYSTEM!!! HELP!!! The internship manual never prepared me for a boss who can read my mind!] The peaceful intern life is officially over. Welcome to a corporate world of massive scandals, dangerous secrets, and a shockingly shameless CEO who refuses to let his little "melon-eater" go!
