Xie Shi returned to ten years ago and discovered that his broken leg had healed, his weathered face had grown young again, his debts had vanished, and his shabby apartment building had been replaced by a grand two-story villa.
The only flaw was that he now had a boyfriend.
He, Xie Shi, was a man who liked women.
Just as he was racking his brains to propose a breakup, Wen Shu He slapped down an IOU for a huge sum. "Want to break up? Pay it off first."
Well, that's that. He couldn't break up.
But the good news was that his boyfriend seemed to be impotent.
This really was...
Wonderful!
What kind of benevolent angel had descended to help the poor?
Xie Shi decided to change the fate that had left him with a broken leg, and repay the kindness he had received in his previous life.
In a desperate situation,
Xie Shi huddled with Wen Shu He in a cave, held down his bloodstained legs, and warmed him with his body. He murmured, "Don't be afraid. It'll be all right."
Wen Shu He, soaked through, held the man close, their necks entwined. "Xie Shi."
Wen Shu He toyed with people's hearts with abandon. More than their bodies, he enjoyed watching them willingly fall for him in the name of "true love."
Until he fell in love with Xie Shi.
Until he discovered that Xie Shi was only being good to him to repay a debt of gratitude.
Those who toy with people's hearts will eventually have their own hearts toyed with.
Later, he did everything he could just to make that man turn back toward him.
That man was like a light: impossible to control, impossible to escape, and all he could do was... fall into it.
Content warnings:
1. The protagonist is the gong, the protagonist is the gong, the protagonist is the gong. Xie Shi is the gong and Wen Shu He is the shou.
2. A ridiculous, melodramatic story, including but not limited to car accidents, amnesia, love rivals, and groveling for forgiveness. The whole story has been heavily revised, but the central premise is unchanged. I'm very sorry to all the sweethearts who have been waiting for updates. *Bows!*
Please add my ongoing novel, After the Frail Villain Awakens, to your reading list!
They were born lowly, yet immensely talented. They were geniuses, yet bullied and forced to endure humiliation just to survive. Their lives were full of hardship, yet they refused to accept their fate. They could have broken free of the darkness and shone brilliantly, but illness plagued them, and they rotted away in the muddy swamp, vanishing from the plotline.
They were collectively known as... background characters.
Recently, a new trend has emerged in the world of fiction. The abused protagonists in melodramatic novels, the devoted male supporting characters in sweet romance novels, and the obsessive villains in villain-taming stories... Readers have protested their unjust treatment and their tragic, beautiful, and powerful character archetypes, condemning the original novels and threatening the stability of their worlds.
The World System Headquarters urgently dispatched countless Systems to save the protagonists, male supporting characters, villains, and others. The people selected to bond with them were none other than background characters from the original worlds.
Countless shooting stars streaked across the sky. Geniuses who should have fallen survived, leaving the whole world dim by comparison.

World Two: [Matriarchal Arc: Be My Little Caged Bird] - Empress Dowager who has taken vows X holy monk
Question: How do you save the devoted male supporting character?

Question: How do you save a fallen cannon-fodder character?

System: Host! Don't do whatever you want! Aaaaah!!!
World Five: [Imperial Throne Arc: Childhood Sweetheart by My Bedside] - Bedridden emperor X powerful regent

Reader's guide:
1. The protagonist is the gong, the protagonist is the gong, the protagonist is the gong.
2. Each world is a standalone story with a different protagonist.
Theme: There is only one kind of victor in this world: one who continues basking in the sunlight after passing through layer upon layer of darkness.
It's over! Spread the flowers! There is a perfect ending! Sometimes when watching Xie, he is too rational, calm and sober, so he is obviously moved but not as enthusiastic as Xiao Wen. The more calm and sober people are, they need to be as enthusiastic, hard-working and not giving up as Xiao Wen to move his true heart.
. Really! ! ! Ahe is just pretending to be stupid! ! ! Ah Shi was just worried about how to talk to Ah He. Now he directly assists Ah. Are you afraid that you are not here to help Ah He?
I regret clicking into this big pit. I don't know how long it has been in my favorites.
It's too bad that there's no reminder for this update, but I'm very happy to see that Ah Shi has his own career now. I don't know if they can be considered equal, but they can start over on a more equal footing, right? This time it's finally not the beginning with a huge gap. (Speaking of the fact that Ah He, who has completely amnesia, was able to find Ah Shi's room, I always feel that the semi-amnesia Ah He did something to pay attention to him.) Ah Shi, your career is almost done, you can think about relationship issues (on the surface, you are serious about your words, but in fact, you are going to be together soon)
The writing is very strange. In fact, Xie Shi's heartbeat is very obvious. It was expected that he would accept Wen, but the plot is too confusing. After seven years of time, Wen has not settled the family issues. It shouldn't be. Later, he will have complete amnesia. It is very inexplicable. Xie Shi is soft-hearted and conniving. No matter how you look at this relationship, Xie Shi is being backward compatible. Of course, the two of them are very sweet when they are together, but rock singer Wen and boss Wen seem to be two people, with huge differences between them.
I stayed up late to finish watching it. Although I skipped some parts in the middle, it was still very enjoyable.
Madam, take care of yourself! ! ! It's time for Ah He to teach Ah Shi a lesson, don't tolerate him! ! ! !
Ahhh, I'm embarrassed for the little silly crane.
Damn, when will 997 be opened? I like that one, can you give me another chapter? Is it good?

I really like what a netizen said: Huh?
