Synopsis

Wu Mian never imagined he’d be a disposable extra in a story where everyone desires the male lead.

He was just a broken brick tossed aside to make the jade shine.

He was adopted by the Qu family, and falling for his childhood friend Qu Hansheng seemed only natural.

But his love was never returned.

He was tricked into stealing the Qu family’s secrets. When the matter was “exposed,” he was thrown out.

Without the Qu family’s protection, he was reduced to picking through trash to survive.

Little by little, the fussy, refined young master became a crass, ingratiating man who’d grovel for the smallest gain.

He fought desperately to stay alive, but still didn’t survive his first winter on the streets.

When he awoke, he learned he was in a story where everyone desired the male lead. He hadn’t died at the hands of the male lead’s many lovers as the plot demanded, fulfilling his ultimate role as a disposable extra.

And so the story started over, with everything going wrong from the start.

He’d been reborn at the crucial moment, right after “stealing” the secrets!

Wu Mian’s heart sank. Without hesitation, he sprinted to the window and jumped.

Unexpectedly, all he did was break his leg and scrape his skin.

Wu Mian just wanted to die.

In the end, he decided to sacrifice himself to make the protagonist shine, in exchange for a chance to live.

Gradually, everyone noticed that the fussy young master they couldn’t stand seemed like a different person.

Wu Mian went to great lengths to complete his mission, preparing to make a spectacular fake death and leave for a new life~

But who could have guessed everything would change? The protagonists who had once despised him began seeking him out one by one.

Wu Mian had no idea that after the story restarted, the male leads in the protagonist’s harem had all begun having the same dream. In it, the young master, who should have been fussy and hard to please, was sleeping in a ruined warehouse and carrying a tattered woven sack as he scavenged for trash.

This is a 1v1 romance.

The pacing is fast and engaging, I'd love more chapters! As someone who has been controlled, I believe that those who have hurt the victim do not deserve his love and forgiveness. Their "love" is false, unreal, and calculated. They constantly lead him into a quagmire, watching him struggle, sink deeper, and die in agony.

It's so good, so well written, so delicate. I hope it's not a 1v1 story, that my baby is all the only one who's good. All those who have bullied my baby and made my baby suffer should be tortured both physically and mentally!

The author labeled it as 1v1, but neither of them seems good enough for Mianmian. I feel like no pairing would be better.

Holy crap, this is so good! I can't take it anymore. I stumbled upon this novel late at night out of curiosity and started reading, and now I'm completely hooked. It's so captivating! The author is a genius! I even cried while reading it. It's so good! 😢 My favorite part right now is the storyline with Mianmian and Aoye. Holy crap, it's so captivating! How can someone write like this?

The author's writing is excellent, and the emotional handling is very delicate. Although we don't know who the official couple is, traumatic events can't simply disappear with rebirth. Even if there are misunderstandings, they suffered too much in their past lives; they don't deserve forgiveness.

I quite enjoyed watching it. I hope Ao is also the male lead. Whether he's chaste or not doesn't really matter. 💕

So cute! 😊 I found Mianmian's voracious eating both adorable and heartbreaking. As for the 1v1 aspect, I think staying up all night is the only good thing. Everyone else can just go away! 😊 If there weren't system restrictions, I think it would be really fun, considering Mianmian's personality.

It's good. I like Ao Ye; the descriptions are so sincere, and the confessions are so beautiful. But it feels like it ended badly. 🥺

The plot was pretty good, but I really liked the romance. It would have been even better if the seme was a virgin. Those who are into uke shouldn't watch this!!! I am a bit into uke, so I felt a little uncomfortable watching it, but I genuinely loved the story. 💕 I'm dropping this for now. Let me know when the ending comes out, and I'll continue watching if it's good.

I love this setup. Actually, I really hope that the little cutie can end up with Ao Ye. Their relationship is so touching! 😳😳😳😳 I love how they complement each other.
