Tang Ziyue transmigrated into a book, specifically a school novel whose title had been censored into XXXX.
The original story's plot came included in his head.
By all rights, even if he didn't reach the pinnacle of life, he should at least be able to stand out and become the next big protagonist.
But the plot was censored.
When he opened it, even the table of contents was censored.
The whole thing was full of lines like Moonlit Swing XXXX, School Woods XXXX, and Sports Equipment Room XXXX.
Tang Ziyue carefully studied all the positive, wholesome plot he could see. After reading it all, he discovered that he was the protagonist bottom's boyfriend, but he didn't play a very important role in the complicated relationships.
He was just one of the people in their play.
Specifically, it went something like: "XXXXX right in front of your boyfriend."
Tang Ziyue: "..."
Fine, then.
On his first day of school, he resolved to become a background character with no plot.
On his second day, he met the protagonist bottom.
On the...
On the third day, he stood on the school's flag-raising platform, reading a letter of self-criticism. The reason was that he'd rescued the protagonist bottom from a group of punks in an alley, taking on eighteen people by himself and sending four of them to the hospital.
Tang Ziyue became famous after that fight and successfully claimed the throne as the school's top delinquent.
He was also widely recognized as the protagonist bottom's boyfriend.
And people slapped all kinds of labels on him.
"Extremely jealous," "possessive to the extreme," "won't let anyone lay a finger on him," "will pin someone against a wall with red-rimmed eyes," "will lock someone in a room until the next day."
Tang Ziyue: "..."
No, just listen to me!
It's all rumors, every last one!
We were only in the room to study! Does anyone understand how desperate it is for an office worker who's been out of school for three or four years to get sent back to senior year? If the protagonist bottom, the top scholar in the whole grade, hadn't helped me, I'd have had no choice but to become a street punk!
Much later, he happened to catch the person who'd started those rumors.
Oh, it was the protagonist bottom.
:)
No wonder he couldn't clear his name, even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Xie Tang's parents divorced when he was young, and neither of them wanted to raise him. In an unstable life, having an exceptionally beautiful face brought him no advantages at all, only all kinds of veiled malice that clung to him like a bone-deep parasite.
Those eyes watched him from the shadows, as if they wanted to swallow him whole.
Over time, he learned that when he was powerless, simply standing his ground and fighting back stubbornly did nothing against these people. He needed to use a few other little tricks.
People are strange. A few ambiguous words, a couple of smiles, and some red-rimmed eyes can bring about very different outcomes.
Then he would add a little provocation.
His life gradually became smooth and peaceful.
Until he met Tang Ziyue, he'd gotten along just fine with those little tricks. Then he suffered the worst defeat of his life.
How could anyone bring him breakfast for half a month just to watch him finish the workbook Five Years of College Entrance Exams, Three Years of Mock Exams?
Take him home because he wanted him to be a tutor?
Stand up for him because he couldn't afford to pay for tutoring?
Xie Tang: "???"
That can't possibly be true!
