Story blurb:
Lu Huai woke up to find himself in an entertainment-industry danmei novel, as the white-lotus supporting character who schemed to win the protagonist's favor.
In the original plot, the previous owner wanted to get closer to the protagonist and establish himself in the entertainment industry, so he schemed to approach Fu Shiyu, the story's biggest villain in the later chapters.
The previous owner was useless at everything, but had an exceptionally beautiful face and figure. After a long campaign, he successfully got engaged to Fu Shiyu.
On the day of their engagement, the previous owner heard that the protagonist had been in a car accident and fled the ceremony on the spot, running to the hospital alone.
The protagonist emerged unscathed, protected by his halo. The previous owner was mocked and humiliated by him at the hospital, then brutally tormented by Fu Shiyu, who had turned dark after being jilted. In the end, the entire internet despised him, his family was ruined, and he died a gruesome death.
The author had cast the previous owner as a world-class green-tea white lotus, but he squandered a winning hand. When Lu Huai opened his eyes, he heard the protagonist taunting him, while outside the room Fu Shiyu's hurried footsteps drew near.
Lu Huai curled his lips into a smile, put on a tearful expression, and turned toward the doorway. As Fu Shiyu strode in with a frosty expression, he whimpered, "Waaah~"
Fu Shiyu: "?"
Fu Shiyu had always believed that his relationship with Lu Huai was held together by mutual interests, nothing more. When he realized that he truly felt tenderness for Lu Huai and wanted to build a life with him, he was hit with the devastating truth that Lu Huai had been using him all along.
Seeing the man who was usually cold and distant with him, like a flower atop a high mountain, act meek and obsequious in front of the protagonist, Fu Shiyu felt not only heart-piercing grief, but also an anger he could barely contain.
Fu Shiyu: "After all this time, were you just playing me?"
Unexpectedly, the man opposite him hooked a finger around his tie and twirled it in circles over his chest. A captivating warmth touched the corners of his eyes and brows, something Fu Shiyu had never seen before. "We were just having a little fun as a married couple, darling~"
A free-spirited, money-making bottom x a celibate, hypocritical, devoted villain top
Reading guide:
1. Same-sex marriage is legal in this story.
2. The top feels guilty about the previous owner and mistakes that feeling for love.
3. The protagonist is self-serving when faced with unknown dangers. Please don't read if that bothers you.
Upcoming story blurb:
Jing Ye transmigrated into an entertainment-industry novel and became the pampered young master who was madly infatuated with the protagonist.
The young master was rich but foolish. To help the protagonist's career soar, he was willing to squander his family fortune and connections in the industry. All he got in return was a "You're a good person" when the protagonist announced his relationship.
On the day the protagonist got married, the young master was heartbroken. He went alone to the seaside and eventually jumped into the water, dying by suicide.
Meanwhile, his newly acquired spouse, business legend Pei Yuhan, had injured his leg on a reef while trying to save him and would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
Jing Ye: "...Thanks for asking. My fists are itching."

When Jing Ye had to clean up the mess the previous owner had left behind, a heap of variety-show scripts and contracts came pouring in. He looked at his assistant, who was frowning in distress, squeezed his eyes shut, and said, "I'll do it."
He'd only meant to fill a spot, but the show became a hit, and Jing Ye somehow became the first actor in the entertainment industry to become a top-tier star as soon as he debuted.
Jing Ye: "??? The plot has gone off track!"
*
After Jing Ye became famous, a flood of smear campaigns claimed that he had traded his body for resources and used disgusting methods to get ahead. They even listed all the work he'd gotten after debuting, which had originally been meant for the protagonist of the book.
The internet was in an uproar, and fans and haters argued nonstop, but Jing Ye's team remained silent.
The next day, Jing Ye finally posted on Weibo. Everyone expected a statement apologizing and announcing his departure from the industry. Two minutes later
Jing Ye: Thanks to my husband for organizing these files for me.
The image showed all the resources and work opportunities Jing Ye had once secured for the protagonist.
Fans, who had been anxiously waiting for an explanation just a second earlier, slowly typed a question mark.jpg.
Do I have a son-in-law now?
Haters waiting for a show: ...That hurts. I'll disappear.

After posting that Weibo message, Jing Ye leaned against Pei Yuhan's chest and gently poked him with a finger. "Am I a good boy?"
