Seems like this only has 4 engines though.
To be fair, a "sized-up" J-36 would probably the best way to go about building a supersonic VLO bomber. The materials engineering would be the biggest hurdle, though.
In light of the first public photo of the J-15T carrying two YJ-15s seen recently, it would be awesome if the J-15Ts (and hopefully the J-16s too) could carry four YJ-15s per aircraft (made by Big Bun CG on Weibo):
However, such loadouts may not be viable for J-15Ts that are based on board the STOBAR twins (ski-jump takeoff concerns). There are also concerns regarding the two missiles beneath the engines potentially scraping the flight deck during landing touchdown (i.e. they most likely need to be fired/jettisoned before landing).
For reference, here's an actual one from a Flanker family (not carrier-based variant):
