After I Provoked the Villainous Male Lead

Jiang Bei transmigrates into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder character in a paranormal danmei novel, the kind who gets killed by the protagonist gong after only three chapters.

The good news: He's bound to a transmigration System, and completing its tasks will let him come back to life and return home.

The bad news: He arrives while the protagonist gong, Gu Yan, is choking him!

Jiang Bei: ...Talk about a real killer situation!

To save his life and complete his conquest mission, Jiang Bei grits his teeth and pretends to like Gu Yan so he can get close to him. But when Gu Yan actually approaches him, Jiang Bei panics and recoils. Whenever Gu Yan gets suspicious, though, Jiang Bei always manages to act convincingly.

Gu Yan thinks Jiang Bei is playing hard to get. He gradually falls for him without realizing it, until he discovers that Jiang Bei has been acting the whole time. Then his dark, obsessive side erupts completely.

Random scene:

One night, Gu Yan deliberately takes on the appearance of someone dying and pins Jiang Bei against a wall.

Gu Yan: Got a good look? Am I scary?

Jiang Bei: ...Could you stop scaring me?

Gu Yan, leaning close, his voice turning cold: Do you still like me when I look like this?

Jiang Bei: I'm really scared of you, and I really do like you!

Gu Yan: Liar.

Jiang Bei closes his eyes and plays dead.

Gu Yan: Open your eyes.

Jiang Bei refuses. The next moment, a warm sensation brushes his lips.

Jiang Bei: ?!

Gu Yan, licking his lips: See? That got you to open your eyes.
