I'll Protect the Sickly Beauty's Second Male Lead!

Su An read a school-set face-slapping novel. The male lead was ruthless and obsessive, the protagonist was vindictive, and the face-slapping scenes were as satisfying as could be. But his favorite character was the academically gifted, aloof, sickly beauty who was the second male lead, Lin Yan. Su An: If Lin Yan didn't have asthma, wasn't so frail, and hadn't died so young, the novel would have had a completely different ending! Then he transmigrated into the universally hated supporting male character, who had failed to win over the male lead and bullied the protagonist, and even triggered one of Lin Yan's asthma attacks. Su An (wiping sweat): That was a mistake, a mistake. I'll take responsibility! There weren't enough copies of the exam papers, and Lin Yan was left without one? Su An pulled out his own textbook: I'll take responsibility! It suddenly started raining, and Lin Yan's wet clothes were about to trigger an attack? Su An handed him his warm school uniform jacket: I'll take responsibility! Debt collectors showed up at his house, and his awful relatives were making trouble again? Su An offered up his secret stash with both hands: I told you I'd take responsibility for you. But once Lin Yan became healthy and strong under his protection, the novel's plot went completely off the rails The male lead the original character had failed to win over (grabbing his left hand): I was blind to ignore you before. From now on, you're the only one in my heart. Su An: Wait, actually, I... The protagonist he had "bullied" (grabbing his right hand): I can forgive you for what you did before, as long as you behave and stay by my side. Su An: No, when did I ever... Even Lin Yan started acting strangely. The sickly beauty pinned him in a corner, his dark eyes inscrutable. "Why are you so good to me? Do you like me?" Su An: As if! Lin Yan: I like you. Su An's brain short-circuited, and he immediately changed his tune: I mean... how could I not like you! Universally Hated (×) Universally Adored (√) [Key points and content warnings] 1. Aloof campus heartthrob, sickly beauty gong & flirtatious, unaware of his own charms, big-hearted shou; 2. A 1v1 story about redemption, a sweet little tale with the flavor of lychee soft candy; 3. The shou has a hidden universally adored quality, but the gong's feelings for him are very much mutual (there is a love rivalry, but the shou resolves it in an instant); 4. The original male lead gets his own one-sided regret-and-chasing arc (he won't win, of course); 5. Please don't offer unsolicited writing advice in any form. I write and read for fun. If you don't like it, don't force yourself. A good mood matters most~ Theme: Take responsibility bravely; never give up on anyone or abandon them
