The Number One Boyfriend in the Spirit Realm

As a villain, you're supposed to be narrow-minded, unable to stand seeing the protagonist shine. You should be cruel and do everything you can to kill them, using underhanded tricks and setting traps to put them in peril again and again, forcing them to beg the King of Hell for their lives. If a minor villain can't accomplish any of that, what's the point of their existence?! To avoid becoming meaningless and vanishing from the world, Yun Xiangrong relentlessly pursued his missions with the System's support. And so... The protagonist wasn't led into danger. The protagonist wasn't successfully poisoned. The protagonist wasn't driven into a demonic frenzy. Yun Xiangrong kept failing his missions, watching his presence fade until it was practically nonexistent, while the protagonist surged ahead without a hitch. He was so furious he could have spat blood. The protagonist held Yun Xiangrong, whose breath was barely perceptible, and asked, "What can I do to save you?" Yun Xiangrong forced out a breath. "Just stand there and let me stab you once, please." The protagonist: "..." * As a minor villain, Yun Xiangrong had failed every mission. Just when he thought there was no hope for him...

Confused, Yun Xiangrong looked at the protagonist beside him. The protagonist met his gaze, then blushed to the tips of his ears and kissed him quickly. "You're mine. I won't let you die." Yun Xiangrong: "..." Who said I'm yours! Yun Xiangrong struggled to find words. Just as he was about to curse, he spotted the bloodstained sword in the other's hand. Twisting himself into the other's arms, he forced a smile. "Thanks, boyfriend!" #I have a friend. Some guy thinks my friend likes him and has done a lot for him. My friend just realized this.
