[Two Male Leads|Era Novel Transmigration|Advancing the Nation Through Science|Rugged Hero|Both Leads Are Each Other’s Only One|1v1]

Xiao Zhi, a PhD in physics, transmigrated into an era novel as a lovesick backup guy.

On his first day in the countryside, the scheming heroine Li Yihan cooed, “Xiao Zhi, can I have a taste of your biscuit?”

Xiao Zhi took a bite. “No.”

“If you won’t give me any, I’m not talking to you anymore!”

“Fine.”

Li Yihan was stunned. Wasn’t he supposed to be devoted to her?

Xiao Zhi couldn’t be bothered with her. He had only one thought: he was going to save every side character written to die in Shanglin Village.

Wei Shu, a military widow who’d been deceived by her husband’s fake death for ten years; Tian Yuan, the real heiress who’d been switched at birth; Feng Long, the top student whose place had been stolen; Yang Qijun, the senior technician framed by a scheming woman…

And then there was Chen Shi, the most honest, rugged man in the village, who had been exploited by the Xu family for ten years and eventually died of illness in a rundown house.

Xiao Zhi saved them one by one, but Chen Shi grew more attached to him day by day.

He heated water for Xiao Zhi’s footbath, made him thick-soled cotton shoes, and kept hot sweet potato porridge warm on the stove until he came home.

Xiao Zhi’s heart raced. “Brother Shitou, what are you doing?”

Chen Shi said nothing, only gazing at him with those bright, dark eyes.

This book is also known as: “A Name Well Deserved,” “How Can the Supporting Male Character Be This Happy After Transmigrating Into a Book?” and “The Story of Shanglin Village.”
