Guan Chiyi was doing just fine in the male-lead department, until his lousy boss set him up and inexplicably transferred him to the forced-romance protagonist group. And not just any forced-romance story, but one with two male leads.
Yeah, he was the one being forced.
Someone falls in love with him for no reason, skips every normal step of courtship, and goes straight to turning vicious, threatening and imprisoning him, taking him by force, and tormenting him in body and mind.
The original protagonist fights back, tries desperately to escape, and even risks his life, but nothing works. Eventually, exhausted in body and soul, he can only force himself to accept reality. It looks like a happy ending, but the original protagonist has enough resentment to raise ten Evil Sword Immortals, and then some.
But now Guan Chiyi has taken over the original protagonist's forced-love plot.
And he's naturally hot-tempered and not someone to mess with...
The years when the kept substitute and his bastard sugar daddy fought each other:
You were clearly attracted to his looks, so why force in some White Moonlight substitute plot and fake being devoted? The White Moonlight just went abroad, he didn't die!
You use every trick to force him to let you keep him, then act like you're possessed, pretending he's the scheming one who deliberately seduced you.
Guan Chiyi has just one word for that: "Get lost!"
You want to torment me in body and mind?
Heh. I'm no delicate White Moonlight. I've got strength and tricks to spare.
Three days of forced romance, two trips to the hospital. Whoever backs down is a loser!
A third-place scholar with some fighting skills × a bloodthirsty tyrant
After struggling through the imperial examinations and passing, he thought his future choices were either to wield power over the court or to be remembered through the ages. He never imagined there could be a third option: enter the emperor's harem!
Dizzy with despair, unable to see a future, Guan Chiyi looks straight at the amusement in the emperor's eyes up on the dais. In the silent hall, after a long moment, he lets out a sudden, cold laugh.
The next second, he charges up the dais, grabs the paperweight in his hand, and smashes it into the bastard emperor's head.
If you're going to seek thrills, then see it through to the end. Let's see if you can take a beating, Your Majesty.
A rich second-generation student at an elite academy × a young master from a top family
"Your family personally sent you to me as a dog to make amends. Now, amuse me, or else..."
"Heh. I'll beat you until you crawl across the floor. Then you'll know who's the dog..."
A cool-headed office drone × a frivolous heir to the throne
"I want you, so you'd better wash up and wait for me!"
"Want my ass! I'm on call twenty-four hours a day. I've only avoided dropping dead because I keep chugging supplements. I work my ass off all day, then work my ass off at night. If I don't string you up from a lamppost, do you think I'm some kind of perpetual-motion machine?"
Happy days at the Imperial Military Academy, fighting each other every day:
A quiet beta aide who serves as a companion × an SSS-rank supergenius alpha
"You're the future subordinate my family picked out for me? Tsk. With a face like that, are you planning to sleep with me?"
"Heh. I came here to be your dad!"
Content warnings:
The receiving character isn't a good person. He routinely quits his HR job and acts like a menace, but the attacking character has strength and tricks to spare. These two are a case of one villain getting what he deserves from another.
Fighting brings them closer; beating each other up is their way of flirting. They can both fight, so it's not one-sided. Let's just say they have a special way of building a relationship.
Theme: Villains get what they deserve; if he won't torment others, he'll torment himself
