I Transmigrated into a Book with My True Form to Play the Scumbag

When Su Yi was diagnosed with a terminal illness and could only wait to die, a plot-maintenance System came to him.

He had to transmigrate into an esper novel and play the role of an early-death scum top, forcing himself on the antagonist, Chu Xiuyu, and tormenting him in body and mind until he was driven to turn completely evil and kill Su Yi. Then Su Yi could make a nice, clean exit.

System: [Host, Host, all we have to do is follow the plot and complete your scum-top role!]

Su Yi: "Mm."

System: [Once you finish the scum-top storyline, torment the antagonist until he turns evil, and then exit the story, you'll get a perfectly healthy body!]

Su Yi: "Mm."

System: [Host, you're so quiet. Is something on your mind?]

Su Yi: "I do have a question."

Su Yi: "Why did my real body come with me?"

System: […]

System: [Wait, that's not right?!]

Who could have guessed the plot-maintenance System would be so unreliable? Not only did it send Su Yi into the scum top's body, it brought his real body along into the book as well.

After the System solemnly promised that it wouldn't let his real body die and would give him a bonus gift pack once he completed his mission, Su Yi had no choice but to play the scum top and follow the original plot, tormenting the antagonist while taking care of his real body.

As he went along, the plot started to feel a little off.

He actually thought he was treating Chu Xiuyu pretty well. He only went through the motions and gave him a little torment before stopping. But everyone thought his real body was his true love, and Chu Xiuyu was merely a substitute destined to be abandoned.

Even Chu Xiuyu thought so.

As the plot went on, those sharp eyes glaring at him were always filled with unwilling surrender, humiliation, and barely contained fury.

Su Yi: Wait... does this count as tormenting him in body and mind?

At long last, he finished the plot and could fake his death, return to his real body, and enjoy a life of freedom.

But not long after he started living the good life, Su Yi heard that Chu Xiuyu had gone on a rampage, transforming from an antagonist into an apocalyptic calamity everyone wanted dead.

How had things gone wrong after just a few days apart...?!

In a rush, Su Yi hurried over.

Before everyone's stunned eyes, a pair of hands emerged from the shadows behind Chu Xiuyu. Cold and pale, yet intimately affectionate, they wrapped around him as a low voice spoke with a smile.

"I've only been gone a little while, darling... and you've already let yourself end up like this?"

The voice belonged to the very person Su Yi had been caring for so tenderly day and night: his true love.

Chu Xiuyu: "…!!!???"

*A gentle yet domineering top who keeps the situation under control x a proud, half-corrupted antagonist bottom. Both are virgins, happy ending.

*A little fake-substitute romance. It's melodramatic, but I love this kind of thing (kneels).

*Probably a modern esper setting. I haven't figured out the details yet.

*Enter with caution if extreme yandere content isn't your thing.
