[Content Advisory: Third-person narration, bratty bottom and loyal guard-dog top]
I transmigrated into the male lead of an old-school angst novel, only to discover that my System was missing. But that didn't matter. I had memorized the plot, and as long as I followed it to the end, I could go home.
I thought following the plot without the System's help would be difficult. Who knew the male lead, the top, would act as if I'd put a spell on him!
I humiliated him in every way I could think of, then was about to make him kneel outside in a snowstorm at seven degrees below zero. Before I could even say a word, he walked out on his own and dropped to his knees in one smooth motion!
Me: ??
I wanted him to take the blame for the original novel's beloved white moonlight. When I got home, he was nowhere to be found. Not long afterward, I was told he'd gone to the police station and confessed on his own, taking the blame.
Me: ...
I took him to the hospital and was just about to threaten and cajole him into donating blood for the white moonlight when he held out his arm of his own accord. "Go ahead."
Me: ...
I suddenly felt a little bad for him. Why was he so considerate!
At last, I'd finished the plot where I tormented the top. Now it was time for me to perform the grand chase-back-after-losing-him act. Wearing a ragged shirt covered in patches, I showed up at his house and was just about to begin my performance.
He opened the door and looked at me calmly. "Go on, cry. Then go home."
Me: ??
My tears suddenly stopped.
It wasn't until later that I learned my idiot System had bound itself to the wrong person: the male lead, the top.
