Name: After the Supporting Cast in a Tragic Romance Went on Strike, the Male Lead Panicked
Author: Sparse Remnants of Snow

Synopsis

[Two male leads + possessive love + faking his death + regretful pursuit + tragic ending]

Jiang Yuyue transmigrated into an angsty novel, becoming the male lead's side character who was tormented nearly to death.

In the original story, he was hopelessly in love with Bei Jinyun, taking blades and testing poison for him, only to end up on the executioner's block.

All because the man he loved most said, “He hurt me.”

The System wanted him to stop the male lead from turning evil? Jiang Yuyue simply drove the knife in deeper, making him lose himself even more!

Male lead's corruption meter: Madness +1 +1 +1

Later, when the new emperor ascended the throne and massacred the imperial city, he kept Jiang Yuyue imprisoned in his arms alone.

“Jiang Yuyue, who did you give your heart to?”

When the entire court knelt to condemn Jiang Yuyue as a scourge who had brought ruin to the kingdom, Bei Jinyun smiled and burned the memorials to warm his beloved.

“My ministers are right, so I've decided to be an even more foolish ruler.”

The history books record that the tyrant Bei Jinyun was decisive and ruthless all his life, except when it came to his obsession with the late Master Jiang.

He built a Star-Catching Tower, imprisoned a skeleton there, and left it unburied for ten years. Every night, he kept the lamps burning until dawn, waiting for someone to return.

Pairing: The bottom gives up and doesn't pursue him, but the top goes mad all on his own.

Note: The protagonist suffers in the beginning; this is not a political intrigue story.
