The Supporting Male Character Only Wants to Be a Tool [Showbiz]

[My new novel, I’m the Villain’s Dad, is now updating. Please add it to your reading list!] Twenty-two-year-old Shen Qingshu dies unexpectedly. His biggest regret as he dies is that he’s still single. He isn’t a monk, but he’s never gotten any action. So when he opens his eyes and sees a handsome, dashing man standing in front of him, the man parts his thin lips and asks, “Want to do it?” Without hesitation, Shen Qingshu replies, “Yes! Twice!” After a night together, Shen Qingshu wakes up aching all over. Only then does he realize he’s transmigrated into a book. The handsome man beside him, with whom he’s just had sex twice, is Han Cheng, the second son of the Han Group and the male lead. And his current body belongs to an obnoxious, doomed cannon-fodder character no one likes. Shen Qingshu: “...This is so damn awkward.” But Shen Qingshu isn’t worried. He’s only a cannon-fodder character, so they’ll probably break up in a few days. He’s just a tool to move the plot along. He gets it. Six months later Shen Qingshu looks at the person beside him and wonders: It’s been over half a year. Why hasn’t he broken up with me yet? Then one day, he sees the male lead’s love interest bump into Han Cheng by accident. Tool-man Shen Qingshu immediately feels his calling and lights up, ready to move the plot forward. “Don’t come looking for me anymore,” Shen Qingshu says, taking the initiative. Han Cheng is stunned. “Why? Have you fallen for someone else? Who?” Shen Qingshu: “...Sweetheart, that’s not the right reaction.” “I won’t accept it!” Han Cheng says angrily. “A single day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of affection. Just think how much affection we’ve built up!” Shen Qingshu: “...Why are you telling me this? I’m not your wife. I’m just a tool. My role is over!” But Shen Qingshu discovers that the male lead won’t let him exit the story. He’s even planning to marry him! Shen Qingshu: “I’m crying.” ---My new novel, I’m the Villain’s Dad, is now updating. Please add it to your reading list!--- My name is Lin Luoqing. Today, I transmigrated into a book, but I’m not worried at all. I know exactly how the plot goes, so I can use my knowledge of the story to rise to the top and become a winner in life! Wait, what’s with the kid over there sneaking glances at me? Why is he in my house? And why is he looking at me with such a complicated expression: three parts resentment, five parts displeasure, and two parts unwillingness? “Hey, kid. What’s your name?” I ask gently, determined to make him feel as warm as a spring breeze. The kid looks suspicious and coldly replies, “Lin Fei.” Damn!!! He’s the cold-faced King of Hell from the book, tormented by his uncle as a child, then tormenting his uncle once he grows up. And the body I transmigrated into is that piece-of-trash uncle! But I’m not worried. I decide to save myself. I scoop up the young King of Hell and cover his soft little cheeks with kisses. “Uncle loves you~” He may hate it now, but I’m sure that with my loving guidance, we’ll become the best uncle and nephew in China, and touch everyone’s hearts! Wait, who’s that beautiful woman over there? Why is her eye twitching? “Please, Luoluo, just help your younger brother. Just marry Ji Yuxiao! You have a burden, and he has a burden too. You two can bond over your burdens!” Hmph, woman. Don’t think I don’t know that you were the one who fancied Ji Yuxiao’s handsome looks, wealthy family, and immense fortune, and wanted to marry up. Now that he’s been in a car accident and both his legs are completely paralyzed, you’re turning your nose up at him? Do you think I’ll agree? “I agree.” Because I remember now: in the book, the original host refused, and ended up on the blacklist of Ji Yuxiao’s ruthless villain of a nephew, along with the rest of the Lin family. I haven’t risen to the top or become a winner in life yet. How can I end up on a blacklist? With a suitcase in my left hand and the little King of Hell in my right, I head into Ji Yuxiao’s house. “His kid is really fierce, so whatever you do, don’t provoke him,” I warn the young, cold-faced King of Hell beside me. The cold-faced King of Hell looks unimpressed. Just wait. So what if you’re the King of Hell? The villain will teach you a lesson in no time! But a little while later, a soft, squishy, rice-ball-like child appears in the room. The child speaks in a babyish voice. The cold-faced King of Hell pokes his cheek and asks me, “This is it? This is what’s supposed to be fierce?!” Me: “...” Later, I discover that Ji Yuxiao doesn’t die like he does in the book. His legs even recover, and every day he wants to explore the mysteries of life with me! “You beast!” Wasn’t he supposed to be moody, aloof, highborn, and unpredictable? I must have read a fake book! How am I supposed to become a winner in life now? Never in a million years did I expect that I’d still become a winner in life. The cold-faced King of Hell: “Dad, I just made a hundred million. I put it in your account.” The great villain: “Dad, I just won an antique car at auction. It’s in your garage.” Ji Yuxiao: “Honey, did you drop this gold card or this black card? Never mind, just take them both.” Me: “...Well, that works too.” [The blurb is written in first person.
