The Second Male Lead Tears Up the Script for Me [Book Transmigration]

Xia Zhi accidentally wandered into a hater forum and became obsessed with a fanfic that cast him as the villain. The pairing he shipped was the male lead's love interest with the devoted second male lead.

He never expected to end up as the villain in the story after a car accident.

In the book, he obsessively pursued the top, Gu Xianglan. When he found out Gu Xianglan liked the bottom, Su Xiao, he went completely dark, not only stealing Su Xiao's opportunities but also framing him, leaving him mired in scandals.

He only got to gloat for two days before the second male lead, who liked Su Xiao, taught him a lesson. In the end, the Xia family went bankrupt because of him, and he died in an accident.

No ship is worth more than his life, so Xia Zhi decides to stay away from the main characters and focus on building his career.

But on the very night he returns to Yancheng, he runs into Chi Shanbai, the second male lead who had made his fate so miserable.

The man smiles, looking completely harmless.

Xia Zhi: I was terrified, honestly.

If you can't beat them, join them. Once running away proves useless, Xia Zhi decides to become a competent flatterer and cling to Chi Shanbai's long legs.

In front of Su Xiao, he tries his hardest to put Gu Xianglan down and praise Chi Shanbai.

Xia Zhi: What kind of trash is Gu Xianglan? How could he possibly compare to Chi Shanbai?

Su Xiao: I'm shipping them, I'm shipping them.

On a variety show, he follows Chi Shanbai around, showering him with compliments.

Xia Zhi: Your face is Nuwa showing off her skills. You make everything beautiful just by looking at it.

Xia Zhi: Your eyes are stars in the sky, your nose is a towering mountain, and your lips are roses in June. I think every positive word in the world suits you!

Audience: ?? I'm shipping them, I'm shipping them.

Chi Shanbai: Emergency! The person I like keeps pairing me with someone else. What do I do???

Reading guide:

1. Original title: Are the Couple I Ship Together Yet?

2. The entertainment industry details are all made up. I'm a level-zero expert at dishing out compliments, so take the compliments in the blurb with a grain of salt.

3. Life is hard enough. Let's not hurt each other. If it's not your thing, just click away. Mwah.

4. I'll add more if I think of anything.

Theme: If you can't forget someone, they will surely answer your call.
