A Melodramatic Spectacle

Lin Yue used to be certain he was the straightest man in the universe. Then he saw Bai Yecen once in a crowd... He, Lin YuZhi, turned gay in an instant. Lin Yue had no experience, and stumbled his way through pursuing someone. After finally getting them into bed, all kinds of trouble came knocking... Lin's mother: Here's five hundred thousand. Leave my son. Bai Yecen: Auntie, that's below the going rate. Fiancee: ...No need to say more. Just look at what I call you. Lin Yue: Does playing house together as kids count?! Uncle Bai: I'm not trying to stop you from loving each other freely. I'm just saying, maybe you could dig up some dirt on the previous generation. Lin & Bai: What?! After finally clearing every obstacle, Lin Yue is about to propose to his lover when... Assistant: President Lin, Mr. Bai asked me to tell you that he's getting married. He hopes you'll be sure to make time to attend the wedding. Lin Yue: Look at my Xiao Bai, always so efficient. I only just bought the ring, and he's already arranged the whole wedding. Assistant: President Lin, please look at the names on the invitation. Neither the groom nor the other groom is you. Lin Yue: ... What else can they do? They can only dodge the ridiculous twists and turns of this world and live an ordinary life with their lover. The setting is pretty loose, and same-sex marriage is legal. Lighthearted, with no angst. It's a little like an outline-style novel, but more detailed. I'd call it a detailed-outline novel. [Reading Guide] 1. The title is misleading. It's really just everyday fluff. 2. The characters surnamed Lin and Su are all tops, but the plot may include a tiny bit of bottoming, so proceed with caution if that's not your thing. 3. Fans of any particular pairing dynamic or character type should proceed with caution. 4. It's set in an alternate future, but since the original setting was an alternate modern world and didn't feel very futuristic, I chose the modern-era category. No need to dwell on the setting. [Update Hiatus] It's been over a month since I started posting, and I've only gained five followers and not a single comment. The response has been so absurdly poor that I've lost the motivation to update. But I won't abandon the story. I'll finish it no matter what; I just need to take a little break first. Please check out my upcoming novel next door: "Stop Trying to Save Me" Bai Yu has a secret: He knows everyone's secrets. His little sister dozes off in class because she secretly works part-time as a magical girl at night; His childhood friend, who gives off a flirty, gay vibe, has the soul of a girl and isn't secretly in love with him. She's just trying to meet the KPI for collecting affection points for her reverse-harem System; The perfectly ordinary Old Wang next door gets possessed every day; And Xu the Blind Fortune-Teller at the entrance to the market really is a half-immortal who failed to survive his tribulation. Bai Yu: ...I often feel like I don't fit in with you all because I don't have a secret identity. One day, a transfer student joins his class. Tall and long-legged, with a defiant look and a gaze that treats everyone as if they were already dead. But when he sees Bai Yu, his eyes suddenly light up. During PE, Bai Yu gets hit in the head by a basketball. Several boys hurry over to apologize, only to be kicked to the ground. The transfer student shields Bai Yu in his arms and snarls, "No one protected him before. From now on, I'll be here, and I won't let you hurt him again!" The boys: "..." Bai Yu: "..." A character card hangs in the air above the transfer student's head: Xuan Feng, a person who transmigrated into a book. Objective: Save Bai Yu. Bai Yu: ? Principal: "Now, let's welcome Bai Yu to the stage to receive his award." Xuan Feng glares. "Hmph! What a despicable villain. He actually wants to humiliate you in front of everyone." Little sister: "Bro, have you seen my lipstick?" Xuan Feng: "Hmph! Your wicked half-sister is always coveting your things." Childhood friend: "Come compare answers with me after school." Xuan Feng grabs Bai Yu's hand, his eyes red with anger. "That scumbag got together with your half-sister ages ago. He doesn't love you! He's just using you!" Bai Yu: "..." Maybe you should stop trying to save me. Upcoming novels: "The Hero and the Delicate Flower" and "Stop Trying to Save Me" ↑↑↑ Theme: Be honest with one another. An ordinary life is what matters.
