One day, Lu Qixuan discovers that he's a cannon-fodder character in a school heartthrob novel.
After his mother dies, the Pei family takes him in. Relying on the childhood engagement between him and the male lead, Pei Jiang, he starts harboring inappropriate feelings for him. In less than three months, the Pei family will send him overseas to study, and his part in the story will be over within ten chapters.
Lu Qixuan: "That's an option?"
To break off his engagement with the male lead as soon as possible, escape the plot, and enjoy life, Lu Qixuan steps up his efforts to make Pei Jiang dislike him.
The male lead hates attention-seekers, so Lu Qixuan runs against him for the title of campus heartthrob.
Instead, the male lead sends a mass message asking everyone to vote for him.
The male lead doesn't eat sweets, so Lu Qixuan buys a cake so sweet it'll kill you, then stands outside his door at midnight with a speaker, playing a birthday song.
Instead, the male lead frowns and eats the cake.
The male lead likes to sleep in, so Lu Qixuan asks him to watch the sunrise at five in the morning.
Instead, the male lead prepares breakfast and waits for him outside the door.
Lu Qixuan: "...What?"
With the three-month mark approaching and no sign of the good news that would let him go abroad and spend money to his heart's content, Lu Qixuan can't help asking, "Are we still calling off the engagement?"
Unexpectedly, Pei Jiang shoves him against the wall and pats his cheek. "Call it off? Dream on. You picked a fight with me, so don't even think about running away. Got it?"
