It’s been a while since I translated synopses, this time it’s web manhua (Chinese manga)! All synopsis posts may be updated when more interesting series are found.
Note: I’m not very proficient in Chinese/Mandarin so these are roughly translated. Please at least credit or link back if you grab the full synopsis translation of whichever series!

A poor young girl entered an aristocratic school, unknowingly getting locked on as target for the so-called rich people’s “love hunt”: the campus’ wealthy young masters with animal avatars such as a wolf, lion, bear, snake in an anonymous chatroom placed bets, treating the young girl’s heart as a plaything…

He’s Always On the Headlines by You Ling
season 1 (73 chapters) completed. season 2 (6 chapters) ongoing.
< comedy, silly protagonist, showbiz, multiple idol groups, modern day, a bit of BL tease (maybe it’s just my fujoshi imagination) but no actual BL, friendship, slice-of-life, same artist as artist for Please Take My Brother Away! >
Super popular idol Yin Shen often attracts aggro* on the internet due to his “retarded” behaviour. His IQ isn’t online all year round, and he makes all sorts of adorkable blunders, yet his fans continue to increase…
Popular idols, celebrity teams and newcomer groups. Various entertainment figures appear on the scene, narrating the hilarious and goofy idols’ daily lives and development!
naki: lit. attracts black. Receiving bad attention like denounces and criticism.

The Lucky Empress* Who Saves the Knight by Ying Meng She + Hua Zong
16 chapters, hiatus?
< modern day, fantasy, reverse harem?, romance?, some action, crossing worlds, game characters, shoujo >
Putting aside how Xia Xinxin, a girl with a naturally difficult temperament, often gets Superior cards in mobile games, she even got actual game characters when opening gacha?! The handsome knight, gentle deacon and mysterious god, all want to capture her?!
Watch how the young girl operates reality and the 2D world, and how she saves her** knight! And who will eventually win Xia Xinxin’s sweet heart! It’s all in《The Lucky Empress Who Saves the Knight》!
naki:
*lit. European Sovereign, some strange term that refers to those with a lot of luck in games like collectible card games, and have a white face (what???)
**The raw used ‘his’, which I assumed was a typo.

Pay attention to《Departing This World》and watch the millennial-old pretty boy and black-bellied short-lived ghost pitting their wits and courage against each other, loving and hurting the other.
