Meng Xing x Tang Zhao

Sharp-tongued but soft-hearted overworked artist x highly assertive, easily flustered, brooding green tea

Meng Xing is the lead artist for a romance game. She'd always lived a mundane, overworked life, until one morning she opened her eyes to find a strange man standing beside her bed.

That man was none other than Tang Zhao, a supporting character from the game she'd designed.

What's more, she discovered that the entire game had come to life. Everyone in the game, along with its scripted plot, had been inserted into the real world and seamlessly merged with her past, as if she'd always been the game's protagonist.

As a result, Song Yusheng, one of the game's male leads, became her fiance, just as the plot dictated.

It was the life she'd always dreamed of.

According to the original plot, Tang Zhao was a side character who had little interaction with the protagonist, so Meng Xing hadn't paid much attention to him.

But gradually, she began to realize something was wrong.

Tang Zhao had gone against the original plot, becoming her roommate and sticking by her side every day under one pretext or another.

Especially when she went on dates with Song Yusheng, she could always feel a pair of damp, watchful eyes staring at her from behind...

Aside from that, Tang Zhao was incredibly well-behaved. He cooked and waited for her at home, and bought her beautiful clothes she couldn't bring herself to buy.

Then one day, Meng Xing discovered thousands of photos of herself on Tang Zhao's computer.

Horrified, she tried to run, but when she turned around, Tang Zhao was standing in the doorway.

His towering figure cast a shadow over her, forcing her to back away one step at a time. His warm breath brushed against her ear as he murmured:

"Sis, I'm better than him. Want to find out?"

With the wedding date drawing near, Meng Xing couldn't resist the Song family's influence and had no choice but to go try on wedding dresses as arranged.

When she returned, she saw Tang Zhao curled up outside her door.

When he looked up, Meng Xing saw those familiar, damp eyes.

"Sis, am I destined to be just a side character?"

Meng Xing tore off her veil.

To hell with the destined male lead.

* Both leads have no previous romantic or sexual partners.

* The male lead pretends to be sunny at first. His brooding side only comes out later~
