Jian Xin transmigrates into a heartwarming danmei novel about a couple getting back together, as the vicious male supporting character.
The main couple are caught in a tug-of-war, everyone else tries to bring them together, and only he keeps sabotaging them, getting tormented and face-slapped over and over.
For instance, he schemes to marry the main top in a contractual marriage, drugs him, starts trouble with the child, and posts all kinds of lovey-dovey content online. In reality, he stages it all himself, while the main top barely gives him the time of day.
Everyone around the main top sides with the main bottom, looking down on Jian Xin and treating him with contempt. They hope the main top will dump him soon so he can be with the main bottom.
Jian Xin doesn't care how many times the main top's side torments him, as long as he can be together with him.
Thinking about all that awful plot, Jian Xin feels as if he's touched something filthy. “Drive out the evil! What is wrong with this story?”
He puts on his sunglasses. He doesn't love anyone.
The main top, drugged and unable to control his lust, mistakes Jian Xin for someone else.
Jian Xin raises a table lamp and brings it down. “Sleep tight!”
The main top wakes up. “Why does my head hurt so much?”
Jian Xin: “You hit it on the bedside table.”
To show his true devotion, the male supporting character carefully prepares a bento every day and delivers it to the main top's company himself. But the main top never takes a bite. Either the food gets thrown away or his friends eat it.
To avoid “breaking character,” Jian Xin also carefully prepares a bento and has the nanny deliver it.
Burnt prawns, raw broccoli, and blackened greens.
The main top's friend opens the bento and is stunned. “Is he trying to get back at you?”
Main top: “If you don't want to cook, you don't have to.”
Jian Xin: “Would you believe me if I said I didn't mean to?”
Jian Xin goes looking for a job and accidentally applies to the main top's company. His friend's just about to give him a hard time, so Jian Xin turns around and goes to work for the main top's rival instead.
The main top can't hold back. “We haven't even broken up yet. Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to go work for my rival?”
Jian Xin drops the act. “We're going to break up sooner or later. I might as well plan ahead.”
Jian Xin gets sick. The main top worries all day, takes time off, and looks after him. When his friend finds out, he's shocked.
While unconscious, Jian Xin grabs the main top's hand. “Thank you.”
The main top is immediately relieved. He knows how to say thank you. Looks like he was touched after all.
Jian Xin: “Yueyue.”
Main top: “???” Who the hell is Yueyue?
The date for their contractual separation draws closer. The main top grows restless, finds all sorts of excuses to get close, and prepares a heartfelt confession. Jian Xin leaves the moment the date arrives.
The main top is devastated, acting like his life is over, and everyone else sighs.
“If only you'd known sooner. You brought this on yourself.”
“Some things just can't be forced.”
The main bottom calls Jian Xin and demands, “What exactly did you do to make the main top fall for you like this?”
Jian Xin puts on his sunglasses. “Why would I need to do anything? Maybe you don't know, but it's perfectly normal for people to like me. It's perfectly normal for me to be the only one they want.”
