After My Best Friend Became My Archenemy

One day, Wen Huihan suddenly learns that he is the evil antagonist in a book, while his best friend and college roommate, He Chen Shuang, is the overpowered protagonist. According to the plot, they will turn against each other one day and fight to the death. As the antagonist, Wen Huihan will meet a tragic end, while his best friend will reach the pinnacle of success and fame. Wen Huihan is outraged. Why does he have to be the infamous villain while his best friend gets to be the noble, radiant protagonist? It’s not fair! “Without me, Wen Huihan, the world of villains would be plunged into eternal darkness!” Wen Huihan turns completely evil and decides to become an excellent villain. And so He spins the table when He Chen Shuang reaches for a dish, and switches off the lights when He Chen Shuang is showering. When He Chen Shuang posts a stylish, atmospheric selfie to his social feed, Wen Huihan leaves a malicious comment: “Looks like the sort of guy who secretly stands on all fours when no one’s around.” He Chen Shuang: “Oh, really? ^ ^” Despite all this, He Chen Shuang still doesn’t turn against him. They remain best friends, and their friendship only gets stronger. Wen Huihan is baffled, so he decides to step things up. When he learns that He Chen Shuang might be homophobic, he pulls out all the stops: sneaking into his best friend’s bed, inviting him to watch a movie together, and stealing a kiss while he’s asleep. He Chen Shuang’s expression is indescribable every single time. Wen Huihan thinks this will make him a proper villain, only for a stunning twist to reveal that the whole villain business was one enormous misunderstanding. So embarrassed he can barely stand it, he packs up and moves out of their dorm that very night, wishing he could launch himself straight to Mars. Well… It would be even better if his best friend didn’t lock him up. XD * He Chen Shuang feels that his best friend, Wen Huihan, has been acting strangely lately. He keeps looking at him with odd expressions, and his behavior has grown increasingly bizarre. At first, He Chen Shuang pays it no mind and continues treating him as usual. But then Wen Huihan decides to move out and starts packing his things. At last, He Chen Shuang can’t hold back any longer. That day, he locks the dorm room door, trapping Wen Huihan between his arm and a chair. His gaze lowers as he asks, “When did you find out?” Wen Huihan: “Huh?” He Chen Shuang: “When did you find out I had a crush on you?” Wen Huihan: “…?!” A straight, salty-cool handsome bottom X a cold, cunning, sharp-tongued top #A little straight-guy-turns-gay romance# #Both are virgins# Coming soon: Let Me Think About It Shen Zhuoqing is an overworked game designer who transmigrates into the game he’s developing, Age of Glory, and becomes its sickly Seventh Prince, too frail to lift a sword or carry a load. The Seventh Prince is timid by nature. His imperial relatives eye him covetously, using him as a convenient pawn and making him take the blame every few days or poisoning him every week. Beyond the palace, enemy cavalry are strong enough to storm the city gates at any moment. He has also been appointed commander-in-chief and is about to go to war for his country. The good news: his designer System is still there. He can see character profiles for everyone who appears in the game, and even edit them. The bad news: it’s missing most of its features. He can change only one character at a time, and the change lasts just three days. Shen Zhuoqing: “You dare mess with an overworked 24/7 office drone?” From then on, the feudal dynasty gets the strictest father it has ever known. * The Second Prince summons Shen Zhuoqing to his residence once again, intending to make him a laughingstock and liven up the poetry gathering as usual. Shen Zhuoqing pulls up the Second Prince’s profile: “Hypocritical and treacherous, exceptionally skilled at poetry.” With a few strokes, he changes it to: “Exceptionally skilled at erotic poetry.” At the gathering, the Second Prince’s inspiration flows freely. He writes a poem in one go: “□□□□, □□□□□□!” Before long, rumors spread that the Second Prince has a filthy mind and shamelessly wrote about bedroom antics at a poetry gathering full of refined scholars. It’s simply too vulgar to bear. * Corrupt ministers run rampant, colluding with eunuchs to seize control of the court and plunge the government into chaos. Shen Zhuoqing checks a eunuch’s profile: “Devious and wicked, fond of antiques.” He revises it with a stroke: “Fond of old Dong.” Soon afterward, a great upheaval takes place in the palace. When the eunuch and the corrupt minister meet in secret, they come to blows and both end up injured. The eunuch had wanted to add the minister, whose surname was Dong, to his collection, but the minister fiercely refused, and they fought in a rage. After this incident, the forces of evil collapse from within. * The enemy nation invades, and Shen Zhuoqing is appointed commander of an army, about to don his armor and take the field. He isn’t worried in the least, until, on the battlefield amid swirling yellow sand, the enemy crown prince rides toward him like lightning, astride his warhorse and covered from head to toe in character-profile text. He’s a one-man army. Shen Zhuoqing: “…” The guy showed up with an eight-hundred-character essay in classical Chinese floating over his head. “Do you even know you’re clipping through the game?” * Much later For the umpteenth time, Shen Zhuoqing changes the enemy crown prince’s “extremely high sex drive” to “extremely low sex drive.” Mu Yanli: “Do you think that’ll work?” Shen Zhuoqing: “…" Theme: Stay true to your original aspirations.
