Little Pink Starfish

The stallion male lead’s private message was very straightforward—something like: “Hey beauty, let’s meet up sometime, I really like your work. How about joining my team? We could have coffee and a chat, that’d be great~” …something like that.

Gu Bai: Shameless.
…what was that saying again?
Ah yes—

“I have never seen someone this brazen and shameless in all my life.”

Qiguan Rui sharply picked up on the flirtatious undertone in those words. His long, narrow eyes narrowed further as he revealed a twisted, malicious smile.
Who was this person, daring to take advantage of his gege like that?
—He would crush him with his own hands!

Gu Bai felt a murderous aura coming from behind.
Shit, the psycho is about to lose it!
He instantly recalled what that pervert had just seen—but in this peaceful world, the psycho couldn’t just go around losing control!
Even though his moral compass had collapsed long ago, everyone was still living well. No need to bring about the end of the world just because of one disgusting plagiarist stallion male lead…

Gu Bai acted without hesitation, turning around and pulling the pervert into a hug: “Calm down.”
Qiguan Rui smiled gently: “But gege, I can’t calm down… The gege I love so much is actually begging me over something like this? That only makes me want to destroy him even more—so what do I do?”

Gu Bai: “…”
If I kiss you now to shut you up, are you gonna say I’m selling my body to protect that damn stallion trash? Are you for real?

Qiguan Rui’s hand slowly stroked Gu Bai’s back.
His tone turned softer: “I know, I know… That so-called protagonist of this world—that stallion guy, right? Gege hates him too, doesn’t he?”

Gu Bai replied firmly: “Yes.”
Qiguan Rui’s aura turned murderous: “But gege doesn’t want me to do anything too destructive… You don’t want to cause chaos in this world, do you?”

Gu Bai nodded: “Right.”
Qiguan Rui extended his arms and, in that position, tightly embraced Gu Bai—almost fusing him into his own body—
His tone turned seductive, then cold: “Don’t worry, gege. This time, I’ll be gentle… I won’t destroy this world. I’ll just make sure that guy has no place left in it—make him wish he were dead.”

Gu Bai froze for a second.
Qiguan Rui smiled: “Then, let’s start with that film crew that kicked you out… If gege can’t stay there, then how can that guy stay safe and sound? Any place that dares to accept him—I’ll crush it all under my control.”

Gu Bai lit a candle [🕯] for the stallion male lead in his heart.
Then he couldn’t help but feel that the psycho’s earlier speech had, in his mind, auto-translated into:

“I will BUY THIS WHOLE WORLD!”

—This psycho really was playing the CEO role perfectly.
Only he would dare to make such a grand declaration like “owning the whole world.”
Heh.

Then, the private message to the stallion male lead was handed over to Qiguan Rui.
At that moment, dark energy practically oozed from his body. His fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard, and a reply was sent.

Meanwhile…

After opening the message, Yang Yaowei’s expression of fear could no longer be hidden. The chair beneath him screeched, and he knocked over both his mouse and keyboard in panic.

The reply read:

“Glorious Dada, does it feel good plagiarizing Jin Yong Dada’s work? This is just a small warning. If you continue to refuse to repent… I’ll be waiting to see your next ‘brilliant’ masterpiece.”

A threat.
That was unmistakably a threat!

Yang Yaowei furiously scrubbed his face, yelling, “That bitch! Bitch! Bitch bitch bitch! She dares threaten me? I’ll find her! Rape her and kill her—do her before I kill her!”

Murderous rage consumed his heart.
He couldn’t accept that even with a golden finger, he might fail because of another transmigrator!

No—this world only needed him!
He would find that person at all costs!

Breathing hard, Yang Yaowei made a phone call.
It was to a female fan of his—a beautiful one. They were close and flirtatious, and now she was useful.

Squinting, Yang Yaowei flirted with the girl for a while on the phone, saying he was working on an even better martial arts novel. Then he casually mentioned that a jealous rival had stolen his manuscript using hacking skills and was now blackmailing him…
Yes. The hacker girl totally bought it.

Now, what he wanted her to do was: find the other transmigrator, hack into their computer, steal the manuscript for Return of the Condor Heroes, and frame them for it!
As long as it was done well, he believed he could turn the tide and maybe even—

The hacker fan was furious and immediately agreed.
Soon after, she hacked into Yang Yaowei’s computer, got the IP, and started tracking Gu Bai.

But—
This psycho had spent at least a hundred years in the modern world during Gu Bai’s first life, all just to stay by his dumb little brother’s side.
In that time, with Qiguan Rui’s god-tier intelligence and talent, his hacking skills had already reached near-divine levels. In this parallel world? A “beauty hacker”? She was nothing to him.

As a result, not only did she fail to find Gu Bai’s location, but her own computer got infected, crashed, and couldn’t even boot. After multiple failed attempts to fix it, she finally called Yang Yaowei to admit defeat…

Yang Yaowei held his breath.
He never thought he would actually fail!

Angry and scared, he couldn’t even sweet-talk the hacker girl anymore. He barely managed a few comforting words, hung up, threw his phone, and collapsed on the bed, clawing at his hair.

What now, what now, what now?
No, no, no—he still had a plan!
Anyone could see that Return was clearly the sequel to Legend. He just needed to say his manuscript was stolen. Would anyone really guess he was a transmigrator? He’d already taken the lead—readers would believe him, not the other transmigrator!

Yang Yaowei forced himself to calm down and decided to have his manager publicly denounce the supposed fan author. He had to strike first—he could still win this!

To be fair, the stallion male lead acted decisively.
Once he saw the transmigrator was hostile to him, he turned up his own hostility and threw it right back.

His manager was also sharp. He instantly believed Yang Yaowei and started a PR campaign on the forum, pinning an official statement condemning the “manuscript thief” and threatening legal action.

But what neither the stallion male lead nor his manager expected—
Right after that statement was posted, a new thread appeared on the forum.

It was the third part of the Condor Trilogy:
Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber!
Also one million words, also posted all at once!

This time, the transmigrator didn’t post as a fan of “Glorious Dada” but under a new username:
“In Memory of Elder Jin Yong.”

Attached was a very emotional letter.

Its gist:

The Condor Trilogy was the life’s work of an old man who was no longer of this world. The manuscripts had never been published due to various circumstances, but unfortunately, they had been lost. Luckily, the old man’s disciple had foreseen this and saved digital copies, planning to self-publish after proofreading.

But before that could happen, the books had already appeared publicly—claimed by someone else!
This was the greatest insult to the old man’s legacy.

They couldn’t stand by and let his life’s work be stolen.
So they initially gave a subtle warning under another name, but the plagiarist not only refused to stop—he tried to smear them instead.
Now, they had no choice but to defend the old man’s name!

Then came a list of works.

The list included 15 wuxia novels. Aside from one short story, the first character of each title formed two beautiful lines of poetry.
The poem was provided, along with the matching book titles—perfectly complete.

The letter continued: this seamless, evolving body of work reflected an author’s journey from youth to maturity, filled with life experience and wisdom—something no impulsive young person could fake.
They promised no profit would be made from these works.
The full digital manuscripts would be submitted to a publisher within the week. All profits would be donated to charity in Jin Yong’s name. They welcomed public supervision.

Jin Yong, they wrote, was the old man’s pen name. Since he was no longer in this world, no one would disturb his peace. Let that name become his final legacy—a final gift to this world, fulfilling his wish.

The letter caused an uproar!

If before, the forum still leaned toward believing the stallion male lead, now—except for a few brainless fans—most people began to question everything.

The stallion male lead nearly went insane.
What kind of transmigrator would pass up a chance at fame just to make life difficult for him?!

But what completely broke him—was when the drama company that had licensed Legend of the Condor Heroes…
Sent him a legal notice.

Because of the “Plagiarism Scandal,”
He had to compensate the production team.
Otherwise… see you in court!
