[The neighboring book, The Villain Panics After the Lazy Beauty Runs Away, is coming soon. Please add it to your collection, heart made by hand~]

The year he graduated from college, Yu Sheng was forced by an unexpected turn of events to marry his love rival, and they signed a marriage agreement.

Yu Sheng dutifully kept up appearances for four years.

In the eyes of his friends and manager, he was the shameless husband who clung to Huo Lingzhou.

In the eyes of his fans, he was a bloodsucker who rode Huo Lingzhou's coattails to promote their ship.

In the eyes of passersby, he was a cuckold whose husband had given him a vast green pasture.

After countless disastrous stunts by his "useless teammate," Yu Sheng finally saw the truth: he couldn't carry this "teammate" any further, and decided to end the agreement.

Nobody in or out of the entertainment industry had any faith in their marriage, and sure enough, it ended badly.

Everyone was waiting to see Yu Sheng, the one who'd been dumped, sobbing in front of the cameras.

But

Reporter: Why are you getting divorced?

Yu Sheng, looking relieved: Keeping up appearances isn't worth the effort. It's not a good deal.

Onlookers: ???

Huo Lingzhou: I thought of you as my husband, and all you wanted was to keep up appearances?

Later, netizens began spotting a masked man acting suspiciously in the background of leaked shots of Yu Sheng filming dramas, airport photos, and street snapshots.

Netizens: What kind of sasaeng is this? Have some self-awareness and stay away from our A Sheng!

In the cast dressing room.

Yu Sheng, cornered against the wall, read the comments aloud with an expressionless face.

Huo Lingzhou leaned close to Yu Sheng's ear. "I have no awareness of anything. You're the only thing on my mind."

1. Set in the entertainment industry, with no real-life inspirations.

2. Beautiful, kind-hearted, gentle bottom x scatterbrained, goofy top.

3. The top chases the bottom after a breakup.

Pre-release: The Tool Character Male Supporting Lead Is Out of a Job

Bai Zao transmigrated into a book, becoming the domineering CEO's white moonlight in an old-fashioned body-double novel. But he was the disposable kind of white moonlight.

As a catalyst meant to bring the protagonists closer, the original owner had no self-awareness as a white moonlight. He threw himself at the CEO top, framed the protagonist bottom, got face-slapped again and again, and offended the protagonist bottom's many secret admirers, eventually ending up with his family destroyed.

When Bai Zao arrived, he was trying to frame the protagonist bottom by forcing the tool character male supporting lead, who would later fall for the protagonist bottom, into the protagonist's bed.

The tool character male supporting lead looked pitifully wronged. "Do you want me to take my clothes off now?"

Bai Zao: "No, no! Button up quickly. It's cold out, remember to wear your long underwear."

The tool character male supporting lead: ???

Frame the protagonist bottom? Be the CEO's lapdog? Sorry, he just wants to focus on his career.

When Bai Zao read the novel, he thought the male supporting lead, who was treated like a tool from beginning to end, was such a poor thing.

After putting a stop to the framing and freeing the tool character male supporting lead, Bai Zao only wanted to keep a low profile and take no credit. But the now unemployed tool character male supporting lead latched onto him.

Feeling responsible for the "laid-off worker," Bai Zao took the poor guy in.

At first

Bai Zao promised the shy tool character male supporting lead, who could only hide behind him and ask for protection: "I'll look after you from now on!"

A few months later

Caught in a showdown with his CEO ex-boyfriend, Bai Zao was held in the tool character male supporting lead's arms as the man made a domineering declaration of love.

Bai Zao thought happily to himself: My little brother is such a good actor. No wonder he'll be a movie star someday.

A year later

At the backstage of an award ceremony, the tool character male supporting lead pinned Bai Zao against a wall in a corner.

Looking at the man with his overwhelming presence, Bai Zao's little head was full of question marks.

The tool character male supporting lead: "Why are you flirting with men everywhere? Am I not enough for you?"

Bai Zao: "Wait, something seems off."

Possessive, wickedly charming top who gets possessed by a drama queen x optimistic, cheerful bottom with an intense drive for success

One-on-one, happy ending.

The Villain Panics After the Lazy Beauty Runs Away

Ning Qian worked himself to the bone his whole life, only to die young. After death, he transmigrated into a novel and became the useless beauty who shared his name.

Ning Qian: Heaven really hasn't treated me too badly. I can finally enjoy my retirement. I'm so happy. (Lazy fish pats belly.)

Original novel: This character is jealous of the protagonist bottom and keeps picking fights with him, only to get face-slapped over and over.

No problem. He isn't interested in picking fights. Give him a pillow and he can spend all day meeting Duke Zhou in his dreams.

Original novel: You marry the biggest villain in the book, and after offending the protagonist bottom and touching the villain's sore spot, you don't survive ten chapters.

No problem. As long as he lies flat quietly, he can stay alive.

Original novel: The villain loves the protagonist bottom but can't have him, and turns love into hate, eventually bringing ruin upon himself and his whole family.

That's... not too much of a problem. He can divorce and run away before everything goes wrong.

At the start of their marriage

Lu Huanzhe watched the man who slept until he woke naturally before coming downstairs every day, and began speaking sarcastically: "How can you sleep through thunder that loud?"

Ning Qian: "Just close the curtains, pull up the covers, and shut your eyes. Your ears will automatically block out all the noise. If you like, I can demonstrate again later."

Lu Huanzhe: "..."

He shouldn't have expected anything from a useless man renowned near and far.

He came upon the great villain being cornered and bullied, and while he was enjoying the spectacle, it somehow became his problem.

Ning Qian: "Actually, I've always wanted to be an actor. Let me put on a little show for you."

Bystanders: "So he's been pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger! His fake innocence is off the charts!"

Lu Huanzhe: "The little dumpling must be doing this because he loves me too much. I can't return his feelings, but I should treat him better from now on."

His work was plagiarized, so he had to give an impromptu speech. Drawing on what he'd learned in his past life, he easily earned top marks from the experts.

The villain: "So this is who you are! You left fake materials out in the open to mislead us while secretly preparing an even better presentation. What a scheming man!"

The experts: "Stay humble, but do great work. Our country's future is bright."

Lu Huanzhe: "He heard I was coming to observe and prepared so well just to keep me from losing face. He really loves me."

As he kept lying low, things started to go a little wrong.

Though he slacked off every day, the research institute director personally appointed him to a core project.

He provoked the protagonist bottom, and the great villain laughed instead of getting angry: "Ningning is so cute when he's jealous."

He stopped pretending, gave up completely, and went through the whole chain of quitting, divorcing, and running away so he could enjoy his retirement.

Everyone: "He gave up fame and fortune to start over from scratch. He isn't dazzled by wealth or status. I'm crying, he's so admirable."

Ning Qian: "..."

He just wants to be an ordinary, unremarkable lazy fish. Please stop reading so much into everything.

Lu Huanzhe raised an icy eyebrow: "Are you saying that even our mutual love is just something I imagined?"

Ning Qian: "N-no, I willingly walked into the grave of marriage again." (Struggles to smile.)

A bottom who longs for a lazy life but is always forced to work hard x a top who says the harshest things with the hardest mouth but dotes on his wife

One-on-one, happy ending.
