The Sickly Villain Just Wants to Survive

Zhu Tong was born into a wealthy family and spoiled rotten, with a severe aversion to dirt and a knack for being so demanding even Heaven couldn’t stand him. So it gave him a body riddled with ailments: even a single cough made him spit up three mouthfuls of blood.

The day before he was supposed to die, he inexplicably became bound to a System.

The System told him that he was actually a cannon-fodder villain in a boys’ love novel, destined to bring about his own downfall by humiliating the beloved protagonist. The only way to survive was to find the one character in the story who wasn’t drawn to the protagonist and max out his favorability.

To find him, Zhu Tong transferred schools.

His new school was in a remote county town. The dormitory housed eight students to a room, the cafeteria served food from communal pots, and there was only one public restroom in the entire school building.

Zhu Tong: For the sake of staying alive, I’ll endure!

Shao Ming was the school bully at Qiyang Middle School, a down-and-out young master abandoned by his family. He hated spoiled rich kids more than anything.

Then Zhu Tong became his deskmate.

From the very first day they met, Zhu Tong’s face showed just how picky and disgusted he was.

Shao Ming sneered to himself. Hmph, another rich kid who can’t look after himself.

Later, because of something he said without thinking, Zhu Tong ate a meal in the cafeteria. That very night, he was hospitalized with a stomach hemorrhage.

Shao Ming: ...

And so Shao Ming took the delicate young master Zhu home with him.

To complete his mission, Zhu Tong set aside his pride and cooked for Shao Ming, planning to make him breakfast. But he overslept.

In the kitchen, Shao Ming was frying eggs at the stove in nothing but a pair of casual shorts, showing off his fantastic figure. Zhu Tong opened the door, froze for two seconds, and then blood started streaming from both nostrils.

Shao Ming: ...

Zhu Tong wiped it away. “If I said my nose was bleeding because I’m sick, would you believe me?”

Shao Ming approached him step by step and pinned him against the doorframe. “That doesn’t sound very believable.”

Blurb:

Fang Qi spent eighteen years growing up away from home. After he was brought back to a wealthy family, a ghost possessed him. He made trouble and fought the fake young master for his parents’ affection, but he was no match for the other boy and was ultimately killed.

After his death, Fang Qi worked hard and successfully passed the underworld civil service exam. Then he returned to the time shortly after he’d first been possessed.

At that moment, the fake young master, Qin Ke, was putting on a show that would hurt both himself and his enemy. He staged a car accident, getting himself injured badly enough to lose a dangerous amount of blood.

Qin Ke’s father was furious. “Xiao Ke was in that accident because he was saving you! You both have rare blood types, and the hospital is running low. You have to donate blood to save him!”

Qin Ke’s mother wept bitterly. “If you’re willing to save Xiao Ke, your father and I can forgive you for anything you’ve done.”

Qin Ke’s devoted admirer: “If something happens to Xiao Ke, you’ll pay for it with your life!”

Fang Qi replied, “I won’t give you blood, and I won’t give you my life either. Call the police!”

The Qin family promptly threw Fang Qi out.

To teach him a lesson, the Qin family called in favors from all over, determined to make it impossible for Fang Qi to survive in the city and force him to kneel and beg for mercy.

But...

The Qin family made Fang Qi homeless, and a real estate tycoon immediately offered him a villa. “You helped my son drive out the ghost and restore his soul. Please accept this home as a token of my gratitude.”

The Qin family bought trending searches to ruin Fang Qi’s reputation, and the police immediately set the record straight. “Mr. Fang is a kind and helpful citizen. We hope to work with him whenever the police encounter cases we can’t solve.”

The Qin family hired thugs to take revenge, but the eldest son of the Xie conglomerate stepped in, beating up the punks one by one. When he was done, he pouted and threw himself at Fang Qi. “Wifey, was I handsome when I rescued the damsel in distress?”

Fang Qi, who hadn’t needed rescuing, covered his face with one hand. “Get lost!”

Everyone in the Qin family: ...
