Two male leads + transmigration into a book as a doomed supporting character + an evil System forcing him to do bad things + mutual devotion + defying the script to change his fate + angst before sweetness
Wen Yu transmigrates into a book, becoming the malicious, doomed supporting character in an entertainment-industry script.
The moment he binds to the [Forced Villainy System], his fate is sealed: he must target the destined Best Actor, Lu Chenyen, for the rest of his life, constantly slandering and provoking him, stirring up trouble, and ultimately getting crushed by a thoroughly corrupted Lu Chenyen, disgraced and driven out of sight.
The System’s ironclad rule: disobey a mission, and you’ll be electrocuted into shock on the spot. Anyone who deviates from the plot will be erased.
Reborn on the set of a variety show being livestreamed to the whole internet, with a million viewers watching, Wen Yu is forced to switch on his acting mode.
To stay alive, he can only pretend to be a spoiled rich kid and a villain, putting on a public display of every repulsive trait a scoundrel can have.
But he’s too soft-hearted to actually hurt anyone!
The System orders him to ruin Lu Chenyen’s reputation, so he secretly clarifies the rumors.
The System orders him to set a trap and sabotage Lu Chenyen, but his ability to read scripts lets him head off every crisis in advance.
Under the System’s brutal punishments and the whole internet’s abuse, he keeps protecting the destined male lead in secret, all while insisting he means the opposite.
He thinks he’s hidden it perfectly, just quietly changing his fate to save himself.
What he doesn’t know is that Lu Chenyen has already awakened and seen through the script of the entire world.
The boy’s repeated patience in the face of hurt and his protection disguised as villainy have already pried open Lu Chenyen’s heart, frozen for years, and awakened a possessive obsession bordering on madness.
By the time Wen Yu realizes something is wrong and tries to escape the shackles of the script, it’s already too late.
The awakened, unhinged Best Actor tears off his gentle facade and keeps Wen Yu firmly by his side, whispering obsessively:
“From the day you pretended to do evil to protect me”
