[Two male protagonists] [1v1] [HE] [Through the book]
I, Su Mu, the screenwriter who stayed up late to complain about mindless sweet pet stories, turned into a cannon fodder who couldn't survive more than three chapters in the book.
The first second the system was bound, he told me: capture the future powerful minister Xie Yan, or die.
So I used my lifelong acting skills——
Rushing into a group of assassins and dragging him away, anonymously sending secret messages to help him overturn the court, speaking up for him at literary meetings, blocking poisoned wine for him at palace banquets...
I thought my performance was flawless and my favorability was soaring.
Until one day, I knelt in the ancestral hall to reflect and analyze his character to myself:
"He is a beautiful, strong but miserable male protagonist who lacked love in his childhood and is most resistant to warmth when he grows up..."
The next day he returned the cloak with a note: "Reflecting on life, I talk a bit too much."
Later, I was falsely accused of "careful work" and taken to the Golden Palace. He protected me behind him:
"If Your Highness wants to investigate the details, it would be better to start with yourself."
After retreating, I collapsed on the chair and shivered. He squatted down and held my hand:
"You did a great job. I'll be here for this kind of thing from now on."
At dawn, he blocked the fatal sword for me, staining half of his clothes with blood.
I cried and confessed everything: the book, the system, and the missions.
He was silent for a long time, then raised his hand to wipe away my tears:
"I don't care who you are or where you come from. When you are by my side now, you are my Su Mu."
Later I found out that he saw through my poor performance from the first scene.
——But he chose to cooperate until I walked in on my own.
