When a Flirtatious Top Becomes a Substitute Bottom [Showbiz]

[Be sure to read the warnings below before starting the story!] Gu Yu was a dashing playboy. Later, he entered the entertainment industry and became a highly sought-after actor known for his talent. Whether he was focusing on his career or not, he was always captivating. Then one day, he suddenly transmigrated into a novel and became a minor actor, as well as someone else's submissive stand-in. At first, Gu Yu couldn't stomach being treated that way. But when he saw that his contract would end in a month and he'd receive a generous payout for being a stand-in, he decided to put up with it. Chu Ming was a patron who treated Gu Yu like he wasn't even human, summoning him whenever he wanted and dismissing him just as casually. Whenever an interview with his beloved caught him in a bad mood, he would go straight to the film set to take it out on Gu Yu, brazenly ignoring the rumors about him on set. When he was with his friends, he let them tease and torment Gu Yu. He didn't even bat an eye when they pushed him into a swimming pool. Chu Ming was always telling Gu Yu, "You're nothing compared to him." "I'll only ever love him. Don't get your hopes up." Gu Yu would usually smile at that. He thought the man Chu Ming loved was quite handsome, and just his type. When the contract expired and the money was in hand, Gu Yu turned and left. Chu Ming sneered and bet his friends, "He'll come crawling back within five days." But before Chu Ming had to wait five days, he saw Gu Yu out on a date with a model at the mall. He was spending Chu Ming's money on another man?! Yet that wasn't even the most shocking part. The truly shocking thing was that after breaking up with the model, Gu Yu went straight to a film set and started getting entangled with the very man Chu Ming had always longed for! Just as Chu Ming was finally figuring out, after agonizing over it, who he really loved, something devastating happened... He'd already driven everyone away, but he was still too late. Gu Yu! He was actually with Chu Ming's sworn enemy, that famously sharp-tongued, bad-tempered man in the industry! They were! To! Gether! As the true nature of this playboy "top" gradually came to light, the scum top fell apart... Major warnings: Top fans, proceed with caution!!! Extreme protagonist fans, proceed with caution. No polyamory!! New love interest / not a virgin (the main love interest is a virgin) / love triangle drama / everyone gets their comeuppance / not one of them is a good person No real-life inspirations. Don't compare it to reality. It's all made up, and there's no need to discuss values. ******** Preview of the following book ******** After Transmigrating into a Book, I Was Forced to Become a Casanova [Entertainment Industry] Li Yue transmigrated into a book and became an obscure member of an idol group. He also signed contracts with four powerful men. The first powerful man had a seriously ill grandfather whose only regret was losing his grandson years ago. So he asked Li Yue to pretend to be his long-lost younger brother and signed a "Brotherhood Contract" with him. The second powerful man realized he was in love with his family's butler and could no longer bear to order him around. So he needed someone who could take care of his daily needs and obey his every command. He therefore signed a "Master-Servant Contract" with Li Yue. The third powerful man had a beloved in his heart who looked somewhat like Li Yue. To ease his longing, he signed a "Stand-In Contract" with Li Yue. The fourth powerful man's family was pressuring him to marry, but the person he secretly loved came from a family that was at odds with his own. So he needed an obnoxious clown to date him, make a scene, and win his family's hatred. He therefore signed a "Dating Contract" with Li Yue. In private, he called the four powerful men "Big Brother, Master, Baby, and Good Boy." Help! Those embarrassing pet names! He's a straight man! * In the book, none of the powerful men had any feelings for him. They were only using his affection to solve their current problems. But he desperately wanted to rise in status, so he schemed against and set up the people the powerful men cared about. Eventually, the powerful men found out and realized he was playing all four of them. Feeling deceived, they joined forces to torment him until he died of depression. Li Yue: "..." He set three rules for himself to stay alive. First, from now on, he would be nothing but a money-making machine with no feelings, and he would keep his distance from the four powerful men. Second, he would win over the real young master, the butler, the beloved, and the powerful man's secret crush, hoping they'd put in a good word for him once the contracts were over. Third, he absolutely could not let the powerful men find out about one another! He managed the first rule, and he managed the second. But why were the real young master, the butler, the beloved, and the powerful man's secret crush looking at him more and more strangely? As for the third rule...the most worrying thing happened!! Everyone gathered at a banquet... The whole thing went spectacularly wrong. Li Yue felt his life was in danger, but in the next moment, everyone started fighting! "Why are they fighting?" Li Yue anxiously bit his lip, his eyes clouded with tears. The person beside him, the one he asked, was none other than the aloof, chaste beloved. He gazed intently at the oblivious flirt, then leaned close to his ear. His breath was hot, and his voice restrained. "You don't know? They've all gone crazy over you. I'm almost there myself." Li Yue's heart gave a hard thump, and his face flushed red. He really was a straight man! * A closeted flirt who's oblivious to his own charm, a universally adored bottom, vs. the beloved top Theme: The protagonist breaks free from other people's influence, becomes his most authentic self, works hard, and builds the life he longs for, his very own Back to Field.
