So Much for Brotherhood!

[The rebellious young master who can be tamed × the carefree, thick-skinned male protagonist]

Ye Heng transmigrates into a book.

He becomes a minor cannon-fodder character in a novel.

He knows his place. He's just cannon fodder, after all. He's ready to sacrifice himself for the protagonists' great love and fulfill his "mission" when the System appears.

It saves Ye Heng from the male and female leads, only to toss him to another character in the book: Cheng Xiye. In the original story, this male supporting character torments him countless times and remains entangled with him until his dying breath. He's the female lead's older brother.

Fine. If he's going to be cannon fodder, he can do it anywhere. At least he won't have to watch the protagonists flaunt their love every day, so Ye Heng accepts the arrangement without much fuss.

He plans everything carefully: a chance encounter, lending a hand, even "accidentally" taking the hit when Cheng Xiye is injured by a lab accident.

Ye Heng thinks that once he maxes out Cheng Xiye's affection, he'll be free. Then he belatedly realizes that Cheng Xiye looks at him strangely, and his friends have started calling him "sis-in-law"...

Wasn't he Cheng Xiye's best bro?!

Ye Heng is shocked.

Ye Heng is helpless.

Ye Heng enjoys it.

Maybe being the sis-in-law isn't so bad after all...

Cheng Xiye feels that everything changed after that collision with Ye Heng.

The bookworm who used to do nothing but bury his head in books and disagree with him at every turn suddenly became different. He started doing things he never would have done before, and kept popping up in front of him.

At first, Cheng Xiye thought Ye Heng was simply unable to keep up the act and had finally shown his true colors.

But gradually, he noticed that Ye Heng was paying him far too much "attention," well beyond what was normal between classmates.

Even more confusing, Cheng Xiye himself often felt that something was off: his emotions, his gaze, the time he spent thinking about Ye Heng. Everything had strayed from its usual course.

Something strange was afoot. Cheng Xiye was sure it had something to do with Ye Heng, so he began discreetly keeping an eye on everything Ye Heng did.

But the more he watched, the more he realized that the attention he paid Ye Heng had long since gone beyond anything that could be called "friendship"...
