That Honest Man Is Getting Ready to Marry

[Straight-laced, honest man x various creepy, obsessive male tops, old-school melodramatic forced romance] An honest man is an ordinary, timid, decent straight guy with no particular talents or temper. His mother is seriously ill, and he lives a meek, unremarkable life. Yet somehow, he attracts a whole bunch of privileged elites, who cling to him like ghosts. He gets kidnapped and imprisoned, has thousands of photos taken of him without his knowledge, is locked up and forced to call someone “hubby,” is ambushed in his sleep, receives anonymous threatening texts, and is even dragged back after boarding a plane. He barely escapes those terrifying men with half his life left. He flees back to his hometown, where his mother’s condition worsens. Her only wish is to see him get married. The honest man meets a beautiful woman who’s a head taller than he is. She has a bit of a temper, but that’s fine. As long as they can get married, that’s all that matters. At the wedding, the honest man is waiting for the bride to walk in when the doors suddenly burst open. The lofty CEO, the rich second-generation heir, and the professor are wrestling in a heap before him. The honest man is mortified beyond words and faints from anger. When he wakes, he sees his fiancée standing by the bed with a pair of black stockings in her hand. “I’ve wanted to see you wearing these for ages.” She says with a smile, the Adam’s apple on her neck particularly conspicuous.
