The Bullet Comments Spoil That I'm the Sadistic Novel's Top

Yan Qi, heir to a top demon-hunting family and the most trusted and beloved student on the Saint Tor Academy forum.

One day, after returning from a mission, he saw several strange, translucent comments floating before his eyes.

[Brother Yan is so handsome today!]

[Brother Yan's back. Why didn't his wife come to meet him?]

Yan Qi looked up. In the crowd, the academy's top student was passing by, surrounded by people, his expression indifferent and his gaze fixed ahead.

The comments immediately went wild:

[Yay, his wife is here!]

Yan Qi's eyebrow twitched.

Whose wife?

-

That's when Yan Qi learned that the world he lived in seemed to be a tragic romance novel, and he was the top.

The tragic novel's bottom was none other than the academy's top student, who had also been voted the hardest student to approach on the academy forum.

Shi Yunian.

The future head of the prestigious Shi family, he was arrogant by nature and always looked down on people with cold indifference. Just last week, after someone provoked him, he broke his opponent's bones during a practical exam.

First, he hit them in the mouth, so they couldn't beg for mercy.

-

Judging by the comments, Yan Qi and Shi Yunian were headed for a horrifically tragic ending. Yan Qi wanted to keep his distance, but the plot kept forcing them together.

Since he couldn't avoid it, Yan Qi decided to change the original storyline and keep their relationship at the level of pure friendship.

-

The comments said Shi Yunian would be badly injured during the upcoming high-risk mission, so Yan Qi applied to join his team.

Facing that icy gaze, Yan Qi looked right back at him without a hint of hesitation.

"You need me."

Shi Yunian: ...

[That boyfriend energy!!]

[Flirt with your wife like you mean it!]

Yan Qi looked at the comments, confused. ? What are you getting so excited about?

Shi Yunian watched him for a while, then turned away and murmured, "Mm."

-

Following the comments' directions, Yan Qi went into a dark corner, where the aura of out-of-control power hit him head-on.

The person who usually held himself above everyone else was now sitting on the ground, his face pale.

Yan Qi dropped to one knee and firmly grasped the other's trembling wrist, meeting his reddened eyes.

"Were you avoiding me?"

[He's so dominant!]

[Yunian's falling in love right now!]

Yan Qi: ? Why would he fall in love?

Shi Yunian tilted his head up and stared at him. His long fingers curled around Yan Qi's hand, tightening their grip little by little.

-

Yan Qi's efforts were paying off.

Whenever he looked back, he saw the usually cold Shi Yunian smiling at him.

When a junior student insulted Yan Qi, Shi Yunian punished them severely, then used his authority to have them disciplined under academy rules.

When someone came over to chat with Yan Qi, Shi Yunian stood nearby, expressionless, staring at them with a chilling gaze...

What a sincere friendship. Yan Qi was gratified.

-

The comments appeared less and less often, and the few that did show up were always mixed with some rather strange messages.

[Did things really change?]

[This time, too...]

Their inexplicable heaviness and unease made Yan Qi's heart tighten for no reason.

Was something still wrong?

-

Shi Yunian seemed to be doing much worse.

Those eyes that had once been so cold and proud now always held some obscure, repressed emotion whenever he looked at Yan Qi.

Until one day...

"What am I to you?"

Shi Yunian raised his eyes to stare at him, and the comments, after a long absence, suddenly crowded the screen again.

[Quick, say he's the one you love! Or it's going to be a tragic ending!]

Yan Qi fell silent.

...Weren't they friends?

-

After much thought, Yan Qi could only clasp Shi Yunian's hand in return and speak with sincere conviction:

"Whatever you want to be to me is fine."

If he didn't want to be friends, then comrades or brothers-in-arms would work too.

Shi Yunian leaned close to his ear.

"Anything?"

Yan Qi looked at Shi Yunian, straddling his waist with their fingers interlocked, his gaze burning with desire.

This probably wasn't okay, right?

**A slow-witted, unknowingly charming top × a ruthless, shamelessly biased bottom**

Reader's Guide:

1. Not suitable for fans of any particular character type.

2. Strong leads, with the plot and romance split about fifty-fifty (more or less).

3. The straight, wooden top casually flirts all the time, but he's so painfully straightforward that he believes everything he does is just normal social interaction. He's a clueless, passive flirt.

Theme: Never give up, never abandon hope.
