A Cannon Fodder Office Worker, Yet Everyone's Favorite

[Optimistic, hardworking, funny, career-minded office-worker bottom x gloomy, jealous, aloof, reclusive rich-boy top]

Ye Youqing transmigrates into a book, becoming a disposable supporting character in an unfinished, explicit novel.

He pesters the protagonist bottom, is buried in scandals, and is stupid and obnoxious.

The story has just reached the scene where he tries to force himself on the protagonist bottom.

Sunny puppy-dog protagonist top No. 3: "Ugly people sure love making trouble. You really think you're all that?"

Rugged, fatherly protagonist top No. 2: "If you keep pestering him, I'll have someone break your legs."

Gloomy, jealous protagonist top No. 1 lounges nearby, casting him a cold, detached glance as if looking at a dead man.

Ye Youqing shudders and immediately wants to drop to his knees and swear his loyalty.

The System tells him he must earn enough popularity points to escape his miserable fate.

Ye Youqing looks at his popularity score of -1,000 and silently resents the original owner for wasting such good circumstances on being lovesick.

Office worker Ye Youqing returns to his old line of work, following the plot while toiling away to earn popularity points.

"You really don't like him anymore?"

Faced with his friend's doubtful stare, Ye Youqing scoffs:

"Boyfriends are everywhere, but jobs aren't easy to find!"

Ye Youqing's personality changes completely. He works himself to the bone in the entertainment industry and becomes a star!

Smiling at his soaring popularity score, he thinks: I've been grinding away at work for years. How could I not know how to do a job?

But as he gets more and more famous, the plot completely falls apart.

Later:

The protagonist bottom asks him with red-rimmed eyes, "Do you still like me?"

Sunny puppy-dog protagonist top No. 3 regrets everything. "I was an idiot to call Brother Youqing ugly!"

Rugged, fatherly protagonist top No. 2 presents him with a top-tier contract. "Give me a chance. I want to take care of you."

Gloomy, jealous protagonist top No. 1 tenderly kisses his bloodied fingertips. "You can only look at me!"

A short scene:

During a truth-or-dare segment on a wildly popular livestream variety show, the host, eager to stir up trouble, reads a sharp question from a viewer: "Youqing, I've heard several big shots are pursuing you. Can you spill the details?"

The whole venue falls silent, and the cameras immediately turn to the audience.

Protagonist tops No. 1, 2, and 3 all have different expressions, but every one of them is staring intently at him.

Ye Youqing looks at the camera and lets out a surprised, "Oh!"

"You mean them? They're all good friends."

"I'm not thinking about relationships for now. My KPI is the only partner I need!"

That night, Ye Youqing is pinned against a huge floor-to-ceiling window by someone.

A cool, crisp presence surrounds him. "Your only partner is your KPI?"

The man repeats the words softly, his gaze dark and mesmerizing.

He leans down, hot breath brushing Ye Youqing's ear, his voice hoarse:

"Tonight, no matter how much you beg, I won't stop!"

One-on-one, both virgins, first love, happy ending

Theme: Be yourself, and someone will love you!
