The Villainous Supporting Male Lead Just Wants to Lay Low and Stay Alive

After Ai Chu was taken back by the Ai family, he spent years still feeling like an outsider. He endured everything and tried to please them. Even when his younger brother nearly got him killed, he forgave him immediately after a single apology.

Only when the male lead he loved most plotted against him and left him on the brink of death, and his own younger brother removed his oxygen mask and killed him, did he realize he was merely a villainous cannon-fodder side character in a melodramatic BL novel.

Reborn at seventeen, Ai Chu felt a chill in his heart. So his family and his endless pursuit of He Jinglin had both been the culprits behind his death. Love and family affection? He could do without them.

To stay alive, he began avoiding that whole crowd. But... his father, who used to ignore him, and his sister, who had always been so cold, both started trying everything to win him over? Even the male lead, He Jinglin, who hated him, began clinging to him relentlessly?

*

To escape the fate of a cannon-fodder side character, Ai Chu had no choice but to steer clear of the male lead. To kick him to the curb, he promptly went and confessed to the male lead's scummy first love.

Tang Yisheng was gloomy by nature, and rumors said he had violent tendencies and a possessive streak. Ai Chu didn't care. Getting beaten was better than ending up dead, right? A few months later, he finally escaped his fate as a side character and decisively turned to run.

Later, Ai Chu lounged contentedly on a beach, basking in the sun, when the young masters of other prominent families asked him,

“Xiao Chu, do you really not like Tang Yi anymore?”

Ai Chu gazed lazily into the distance. “Of course not. The world is so big. What a waste to hang yourself from a single tree.”

Everyone understood and gave Ai Chu a string of thumbs-ups. “Young Master Ai really knows how to have fun!”

Unexpectedly, somehow those words reached Tang Yi himself. That night, beneath a scenic tree on the resort island, the fun-loving young master of the Ai family was pinned against it by a man with a sinister look in his eyes, unable to move.

“You don't want to hang yourself from my tree? Hmm?”

Ai Chu's lips quivered as he trembled. “Uh, don't... don't be mad. Hanging myself from one tree isn't so, so bad after all...”

Tang Yi reached out and pinched his chin, his expression gradually softening. “Be good, and I'll bring you here again next time.”

Upcoming 1: How Has the Villainous Big Shot Still Not Called Off the Engagement?

Jiang Zhi, a dashing and devil-may-care playboy, accidentally learns that he is merely a foil to the protagonist shou in a book.

The protagonist is kind and beautiful, while Jiang Zhi is cocky and fierce. Even their marriage prospects are worlds apart. The protagonist gong is an internationally renowned, globally famous movie star, while Jiang Zhi's fiance is a sinister villain.

In the end, not only does the protagonist gong leave him with nothing, but Jiang Zhi also drags the Jiang family down with him.

To avoid ending up on the streets scavenging for scraps, Jiang Zhi wastes no time saving money and devises an ultimate plan to get rid of the villain.

Word has it that Fu Yunting dislikes tobacco and alcohol, and hates clingy, melodramatic boys most of all.

So Jiang Zhi starts by waking up in the morning and throwing plates and bowls around the house, tears in his eyes.

Whenever he gets upset, he insists on flying to a neighboring country for a handmade giant burger.

In the middle of the night, he even pesters the big shot, insisting they chat about the wind, snow, and moon, making such a scene that even he scares himself.

But... after all that, the big shot shows no sign of wanting to call off the engagement. If anything, he seems to dote on Jiang Zhi even more.

Jiang Zhi: "???"

-

Fu Yunting had dreamed since childhood of marrying soft and sweet Jiang Zhi. The elders of the Fu family thought it was just a passing fancy and that he'd grow out of it.

But even after Fu Yunting successfully took over the Fu family and became a powerful figure who could command the winds and rains of Yuncheng, Jiang Zhi remained the one he was devoted to.

Fu Yunting had always known, however, that Jiang Zhi didn't love him.

He hadn't loved him in their previous life, and in this one...

A storm of hostility swirled in Fu Yunting's eyes. Trouble was brewing.

But Jiang Zhi seemed to have changed in this life.

To make Fu Yunting give up smoking and drinking, he was willing to put his own body on the line.

He called three times a day, chatting for ages, and even when he was so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open in the middle of the night, he still couldn't bear to hang up.

And... he had become a miser who loved money more than life.

Fu Yunting found it strange, but also thought it was adorable.

One day, a car. The next, a house. The day after that, a diamond the size of a pigeon egg.

He coaxed Jiang Zhi into wanting to cling to him every day, until... he found the detailed plan to escape the villain under Jiang Zhi's pillow.

The man's dark eyes grew somber as he watched the schemer sleeping soundly, butt sticking up in the air. A glint flashed in his gaze.

-

A few days later, Fu Yunting made a grand gesture and gave Jiang Zhi a wedding that took Yuncheng by storm, without the slightest warning.

Seeing the star-studded wedding and the well-wishes pouring in from all over, Jiang Zhi cried so hard his tears and snot ran freely.

Fu Yunting slipped a ring onto his finger and, looking triumphant, kissed away the tears at the corners of his eyes.

“Why are you so moved? This is only the beginning.”

Jiang Zhi: “...” Sob, I guess this is my fate. I accept it.

But why were the protagonist gong and shou from the book he was supposed to be the foil to in the guest section?

And why had they brought an entire cabinet of seduction props as a wedding gift?!

This is ridiculous...

Upcoming 2: After My Engagement Was Called Off, I Matched 100% with a Top-Tier Star

Yi Chen was a gorgeous Omega, born into privilege with a dazzling aura. His childhood sweetheart had doted on him since they were little, treating him like a treasure.

But then his parents went bankrupt and both died after jumping from a building. Yi Chen went from heaven's favorite to an orphan in an instant.

At the funeral, Yi Chen saw the childhood sweetheart who had always said he'd marry him and broke down sobbing.

But after tossing over some condolence money, the other man coldly told him that he'd met a cuter Omega with a higher compatibility rating, so their engagement was over.

Yi Chen scoffed. Pheromones or money, none of it mattered anymore.

That night, Yi Chen went to a bar alone and downed two big glasses of vodka to celebrate.

To hell with that scummy Alpha. To hell with his pheromones. I'm going to be a single aristocrat for life.

As soon as he said it, Yi Chen suddenly felt feverish all over, and the gland at the back of his neck began throbbing wildly.

Even the air he exhaled seemed to turn pink.

With hazy eyes, he looked ahead and saw a crowd of young Omegas pressed around the stage, competing to flirt with a tall, devastatingly handsome man.

Meanwhile, Yi Chen was burning with desire, his blood rushing, his legs weak. He couldn't even stand up.

Having experienced the world's ups and downs, Yi Chen now lived by one principle:

Enjoy life while you can. If you can't beat them, join them!

So, as the pheromones in the air grew stronger, he lunged forward and threw himself into the man's arms.

“Hey, handsome, your pheromones smell amazing!”

When he woke up, Yi Chen had a body covered in bite marks and a matching notification saying his pheromones were 100% compatible with someone else's.

The name in the match field was unmistakably Shi Qiuhan.

Yi Chen: “????”

Shi Qiuhan was a top-tier star and movie emperor known throughout the empire. His face had always been a source of pride for his fans.

In five years since his debut, he'd won four Best Actor trophies, and his fortune was beyond measure.

His only shortcoming was that his pheromones were so abstract that the matching System had never found even a single young Omega with a compatibility rating above 20%.

He himself never seemed worried, and rumors even claimed he wasn't into Omegas at all.

But one day, a reporter caught movie emperor Shi Qiuhan losing control at a bar, with a soft and beautiful Omega in his arms.

-

After Shi Qiuhan, the empire's untouchable beauty, had his celibate image shattered by a foxy young Omega,

all the major media outlets began digging into the Omega's identity. But once they did, they discovered that this young Omega was not only exceptionally handsome, but had also shown astonishing musical talent since his debut.

Not only was he the darling of music-industry veterans, he had also swept every major music award in the empire.

He was the first person in the empire's music scene to win every major award, and insiders called him the empire's heavenly voice.

He was only twenty years old.

The news sent the whole internet into a frenzy. What the hell, and you're still asking who seduced whom?

Everyone could believe that either one had seduced the other. And plenty of people admitted that Yi Chen was so gorgeous they could hardly resist him!

At the same time, Shi Qiuhan was deeply displeased that people were coveting his precious darling.

He directly used his Weibo account, which he only posted on once every hundred years, to declare his claim to the world.

“Don't lust after him. He's mine.”

The photo showed their wedding picture and a pheromone compatibility report, the only one of its kind in the entire empire.

He was also indirectly telling everyone the truth:

Not only had they fallen in love at first sight, they were destined for each other.

Upcoming 3: After a Whirlwind Marriage to the Richest Man, I Can't Get Divorced

[Pretty-Face-Obsessed, Silly Beauty Shou x Scheming, Black-Bellied Gong]

Yun Yao debuted at the peak of his career, crushing countless handsome young stars to become the entertainment industry's top-tier star. Everywhere he went, he drew everyone's attention.

But Yun Yao was never conceited. As a hopeless pretty-face enthusiast, he made the rounds of every event each day, determined to be friends with every handsome man.

Strangely, though, those men always acted like mice seeing a cat when they spotted him, turning and running away.

The handsome member of a boy band from two days ago, yesterday's young singer, and even the movie emperor he'd just shaken hands with... the moment they heard his name, they vanished.

Yun Yao was deeply puzzled. Was I too stupid?

Then he ran into Xi Yucheng. The man was usually cold and distant, but he was willing to smile at Yun Yao and even called him clever.

So when the other man proposed marriage, Yun Yao signed the papers in a fit of enthusiasm.

-

Xi Yucheng was the foremost figure among the elite of Haishi, a man who could turn the clouds with one hand and the rain with the other.

Rumor had it he had someone he loved. Anyone who tried to get close to him was, without exception, excluded from Haishi's elite circles.

Later, everyone was finally lucky enough to meet Yun Yao in person.

He was elegant and dazzlingly beautiful, though... a little spoiled.

He needed someone to accompany him when he went out and someone to hold him while he slept. Even at mealtimes, Xi Yucheng personally served him food.

Everyone thought the little beauty wouldn't last long by Xi Yucheng's side and waited to see him make a fool of himself.

Later, Yun Yao won three trophies in a row, but Xi Yucheng wasn't there to congratulate him.

Everyone assumed that even though the little beauty had succeeded in his career, Xi Yucheng had grown tired of him.

At the celebration banquet, people mocked him in every way, but Yun Yao just kept smiling.

Someone asked what he was smiling about.

He said, “There's a big dog at home who won't behave, so I made him stay home facing the wall today.”

The other person was surprised but still managed a fake smile. “...He must be very well-behaved.”

So Yun Yao casually showed him a photo.

“He is, look, he's even kneeling.”

In the picture, the pitiful-looking richest man, Xi Yucheng, was hugging his border collie and making a cute face at the camera, begging for a hug.

The real dog himself: “...” Anyone who eats this dog food knows just how sour it is.

-

That night, Yun Yao got home and tossed his trophy into a corner, bossing Xi Yucheng around.

“You deceived me so badly. I want a divorce!”

Xi Yucheng calmly brushed Yun Yao's dog on the carpet. “I refuse.”

“I want a divorce!” Yun Yao bristled.

“Be good. You're so clever, people out there will be jealous of you. Listen to me.”

Yun Yao paused, the corner of his mouth twitching. “Then... then we'll wait a few more days before getting divorced. It's safer at home.”

Later, they had this conversation several times every year, but they... never did get divorced.
