[Dual Male Leads + Transmigrate into a Book + Devoted, Sweet Romance]
Domineering, brooding, chosen-one protagonist X cheerful, straight, little sunshine
Yan Le transmigrates into a book, a cultivation novel about a chosen-one protagonist, and becomes the male lead's cannon-fodder husband.
Thinking of how the male lead, Si Wujiu, will cultivate to godhood and live a wildly successful life, Yan Le resolves to cling tightly to his coattails.
But what does it mean that the down-on-his-luck male lead goes to the Yan family to borrow travel money for his visit to the immortal sect, only to be beaten up by the servants, then have the original owner's own father throw a broken engagement letter at him and mock him for a toad lusting after a swan?
Yan Le's vision goes dark.
Father, he's the chosen-one protagonist!

Late that night, Si Wujiu is trying to figure out how to earn money for the journey.
Who knew Yan Le would burst in carrying a huge bundle of travel money? "Si Wujiu, I believe in your abilities. I'll go with you to join the sect and cultivate!"
Si Wujiu's expression shifts slightly. "All right."
The next day, the whole city is buzzing with rumors that the young master of the Yan family has eloped with a pauper.

With the chosen-one protagonist's halo, Si Wujiu keeps stumbling upon lucky opportunities. He catches a wild chicken and finds a thousand-year-old spirit herb, and while browsing the market, he comes across ten-thousand-year-old dark iron. Spirit pills and rare spirit beasts are no problem for him, either.
Yan Le enjoys the cool shade beneath a big tree, eating spirit-beast hot pot and pairing it with a thousand-year-old spirit fruit to cleanse his palate. All day long, he hums and flatters the male lead.
One moment: "Si Wujiu, you're amazing!"
The next: "I admire you and like you more than anyone!"
The two study cultivation and hone their skills together, building a friendship over many years. Yan Le thinks he's secured his place as the chosen-one protagonist's number one sidekick, until the heroine from the original story appears. He even happily tries to help Si Wujiu find his own happiness.
Who would have thought...
Si Wujiu grits his teeth. "Have you forgotten, my dear? Our elders arranged our betrothal with a ceremony before heaven and earth, and a toast to the ancestors."
"We should have been a proper married couple long ago."
The recipient: ?
The recipient: Wait, the chosen-one protagonist can be gay too?!
