Heartthrob Syndrome [Quick Transmigration]

[My new novel, The Protagonist of a Restricted-Rating Novel Is Forbidden to Become an Overpowered Hero, is now live!]

[Bonus extras will drop later~]

Xin Hexue died twice. The first time, he was the crown prince of a remote asteroid who succumbed to illness. Later, he was reborn in the womb of a deposed consort confined to the cold palace.

Despite his chronic illness, coughing up blood twice for every three steps he took whenever the wind blew, he ascended the imperial throne.

Then he was poisoned to death.

Someone asked him, "What do you want most?"

Xin Hexue answered without hesitation, "To live."

The system bound to him made him a promise: as long as he could obtain enough affection points and heartbreak points from his targets, he could go to a new world and live a long, healthy life.

For Xin Hexue, the task was not difficult.

It was just that he seemed to have a strange condition in every world...

[Face Blindness]

Xin Hexue is the kept lover of Pei Guangji, the eldest young master of the Pei family.

Pei Guangji treasures him dearly and keeps him well hidden. Only a few of his childhood friends have heard of him.

When outsiders see the eldest young master making six calls an hour at a banquet and checking his communicator every five minutes, they assume he has finally reached the age to settle down, start a family, and take over the family business.

Then Pei Guangji gets into an aircraft accident because of Xin Hexue and has no choice but to transfer to a hospital in the Federation's core region for treatment.

Even with only a breath left in him, he insists that his childhood friends look after the boyfriend he left at home.

His friends are impatient. "Come on, isn't he just a Beta? And an inferior pureblood human at that. He's fine for a fling."

That is, until they finally meet the kept lover hidden away in the villa.

He's beautiful, with a mole at the corner of one eye.

He looks like that washed-up young actor who came from the slums.

Listless, he sits in a corner while a mechanical cat at his feet swishes its tail and begs for attention.

At the sight of someone coming in, his expression brightens. He comes forward, throws his arms around the newcomer, and exclaims, "Guangji?"

His childhood friend freezes.

So Pei Guangji was telling the truth when he said his kept lover couldn't recognize faces.

[Amnesia]

During a great drought, Xin Hexue, a koi who has yet to cultivate a human form, nearly dies of thirst in a cracked riverbed. A scholar takes him home and keeps him in a water jar in his farmyard.

When heavy rains finally arrive, the scholar releases him back into the river.

Xin Hexue remembers this kindness.

He travels all the way to the capital, eventually waiting at a dilapidated temple on its outskirts for the scholar to stop and rest on his way to the imperial examinations.

This koi immortal is very good at repaying kindness.

But his memory lasts only seven days.

What's this? A poor scholar. Better repay his kindness. What's this? A poor scholar. Better repay his kindness. What's this? A poor scholar. Better repay his kindness.

Xin Hexue keeps forgetting important things, so much so that on the day the examination results are announced-

The successful candidates rush into the dilapidated temple. The top scholar, wearing an official's black gauze hat adorned with golden flowers, dismounts his red-maned horse and declares that he will marry no one but Xin Hexue.

[Albinism]

The White City marks the boundary between Upper and Lower Egypt. The White King and the Red King rule their respective lands, and the two kingdoms are locked in endless conflict.

The Red King hears that the White King has brought someone back from the banks of the Nile and appointed him high priest.

Beneath the golden sun, the desert burns. The priest is enveloped in a snowy white hooded robe, not an inch of him exposed.

With the high priest's aid, Upper Egypt enjoys bountiful harvests, and its granaries overflow with wheat.

The Red King also hears that the people of Upper Egypt reverently address the high priest as a divine messenger from heaven.

Some have even seen his face and praise him as "the pearl of the golden sands."

The priest and the White King are inseparable, even sharing a bed at night.

Others say the high priest is the White King's favored consort.

The Red King's planted spies succeed, and he looks with satisfaction at the high priest brought before him under guard. He effortlessly pulls back the other's robe.

A whiteness like snow found only atop the highest mountains.

White hair, and even white eyelashes.

The Red King's wolfish eyes narrow sharply as he gazes at that jade-like face, tinged with the faintest blush.

He has to admit, his eldest brother, the White King, has excellent taste.

He, too, longs to hold the pearl of the golden sands in his grasp.

[Skin Hunger]

The Empire's only SSS-class Guide holds the rank of major general.

No one has ever seen his spirit form. His psychic power is so formidable that he can treat battle-worn Sentinels without even summoning it.

In contrast to his immense psychic power, the major general's physical condition is heartbreaking.

Many have seen him at briefings held to reassure the public, his exceptionally beautiful eyes lowered as he covers his lips to cough, his handkerchief drenched in blood.

The major general seems aloof. His uniform is always buttoned meticulously up to his throat, and his slender, pale hands are clad in black gloves.

Only the Sentinels he has treated know how gentle he truly is. He comforts them softly, his psychic power like the gentle waters of spring.

Even so, because the major general shuns physical contact, the Sentinels mostly keep a respectful distance.

Then a reckless new recruit touches the major general's hand during treatment.

Without the black gloves between them, the simple act of interlacing their fingers is enough to make the corners of the major general's eyes flush crimson and his lips clamp shut, as though he were being bullied.

The recruit's comrades warn him to put any inappropriate fantasies out of his mind.

The major general's husband, once his closest comrade-in-arms, is dead. No one else can ever come between them.

The recruit's personality is even more audacious than his SSS-class combat prowess. Baring his canines in a grin, he says, "Oh, his husband's dead? Then I can't let the major general go on living like a widow."

[Erotomania]

Four childhood friends, innocent and inseparable.

In the family compound of a state-owned power plant in the nineties, a frail, sickly young man is firmly convinced that all his childhood friends are in love with him.

And they are.

[Persecutory Delusions]

A married NPC in an infinite-game instance.

He lives in a tiny cubicle apartment in a walled city. Ever since his husband was murdered, he has been plagued by suspicion and anxiety.

Then he unwittingly seeks shelter with a serial killer.

[Reading Guide]

1. Each world has more than one top, all aspects of the same character. They're all virgins.

2. The bottom is an exceptionally beautiful man and a superb actor, with extremely catlike qualities. He fakes his death in the individual worlds.

3. A touch melodramatic, with mild elements of coercive romance, plenty of descriptions of beauty, and frequent displays of frailty.

4. To keep the comments section friendly, excessively inflammatory comments will be deleted.

-A plug for my upcoming novel, The Saintly White Moonlight [Quick Transmigration]-

You are the male lead's white moonlight.

You are the white moonlight who endures humiliation and hardship, devotes yourself wholeheartedly, and gives everything for the male lead.

You are the white moonlight who dies a miserable death at the end.

That is what the system tells Liu Yuran.

He is the male lead's lover, elder brother, master, guide, senior...

Whatever his role, he will brave mountains of blades and seas of fire for the male lead. Even if millions misunderstand and scorn him, he will press on without hesitation, ultimately dying a tragic death before the male lead's eyes and becoming a taboo subject never to be mentioned, a pool of moonlight haunting his midnight dreams.

Liu Yuran: Okay, O.O

The system has complete faith in its perfect android host, until it sees more and more people appearing around him, and more and more, and more and more...

Meanwhile, the male lead fights his way into Liu Yuran's crowd of followers, wagging his tail so hard it might fall off, only to receive a pat on the head like everyone else.

[Lover]

He is the male lead's sweetheart, the two of them together from high school through university. But just before they can walk down the aisle, the apocalypse descends.

The male lead awakens an S-class combat ability and rises to become the leader of a base, while Liu Yuran is just an ordinary person, frail and sickly to boot. He's little more than dead weight, forever taking without giving, yet the male lead still looks after him with every consideration.

Everyone feels the male lead deserves better.

During an expedition, the male lead is gravely injured and goes missing, his fate unknown.

According to the plot, Liu Yuran will impulsively leave the base to search for him, eventually finding him turned into a zombie and using his own life to restore the other's sanity.

Along the way, Liu Yuran can't help saving person A, B, C, D, and one person after another.

Only then does everyone discover that Liu Yuran does have an ability-in fact, he possesses the only healing ability, capable of saving people at death's door through intimate contact alone.

By the time Liu Yuran finally finds the male lead,

A, B, C, and D stand united in front of him to shield him from the zombified male lead, urging, "Forget him. You deserve better..."

The zombie king, who was just about to approach his lover: ?

[Elder Brother]

He is the male lead's nominal adoptive older brother. After the male lead loses both parents, Liu Yuran raises him as both brother and father.

In their cramped, gloomy rented room, he uses a computer to livestream games, posing as a woman with a voice changer and earning money from wealthy viewers to put the male lead through school.

Top donor in the livestream: My only wish before I die is to see you show your face on stream.

Liu Yuran: Okay, O.O

The next day, a clip of Liu Yuran streaming in women's clothes shoots up the trending charts with the hashtag #UnrivaledBeauty.

Second-ranked donor: Before I die, can we meet in person?

Liu Yuran: Okay, O.O

When they meet, the second-ranked donor goes red to the ears and wraps his coat around Liu Yuran's short skirt. After going home, he silently transfers 520,000 yuan to the streamer's account.

According to the plot, after the male lead gets into a prestigious university, Liu Yuran will be diagnosed with late-stage cancer.

First-, second-, third-, and fourth-ranked donors: It's time your little brother became independent. Get treatment first, then marry us.

The younger brother, who has finally made something of himself: ?

[Master]

He is the male lead's master, the famously alluring Perfected Lord Pomegranate Blossom of the vast cultivation world. In his day, a single stroke of his sword sent chills through fourteen provinces and made his name known throughout the realm.

But a century ago, he exhausted half a lifetime's cultivation defending against the demons.

According to the plot, Liu Yuran will extract his sword bone to save his personal disciple's life, losing all his cultivation and leaving his body frail and broken.

He was supposed to quietly live out his remaining years like a mortal.

The new Demon Lord, the Demon King of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and the Medical Sage, all of whom he once saved: Look, I have a dual-cultivation manual that can help you rebuild your cultivation.

The Buddhist Heir of the Hall of Great Freedom: If it can help you, I don't mind doing that sort of thing.

The male lead, painfully extracting his sword bone: ?

[Guide]

[Senior]

At last, the system breaks down. "Can't you turn them down?! Be a little harsher with them!"

Liu Yuran: My initial programming requires me to show humans unlimited tolerance and treat them all equally, with complete goodwill.

Liu Yuran: Humans call someone like me... a saint?
