The Wicked Supporting Character Is Reborn [Showbiz]

[I'm terribly sorry. My home was just renovated, and I've been busy with the renovation and moving. Now that I'm back, I feel like I can't keep this story going. I sat in front of my computer for ages and couldn't write even a thousand words. I may make it free to read. I'm so sorry!] Only after Xu Yan died did he learn that he was the vicious cannon fodder in a book. He was born devastatingly handsome, but the cannon-fodder gene in his body made him look gloomy and menacing, turning his gorgeous face into a villain's. He was an exceptionally talented actor who could have won a global Best Supporting Actor award with his very first film, with a limitless future ahead of him. But after marrying the protagonist, Shen Yucheng, in a marriage of convenience, he went mad with love and attacked everyone in the industry who got close to Shen Yucheng. He took a promising young man and turned him into vicious cannon fodder. After being reborn, Xu Yan decided he'd figured it out. With top-notch control over his expressions, he'd get his gorgeous face back. He'd save his viciousness for when it counted. If anyone with no morals went out of their way to provoke him, he'd write a rap to insult them. Who doesn't love a beautiful, bold, and badass man? Love Shen Yucheng? No way. Isn't building a career better? Isn't acting more fun? Shen Yucheng wants them to get what they each need? Fine. He'll give him what he wants. And so, the entertainment industry's pretend couple was born On a couples' travel show, they acted like a married couple in front of the cameras, then kept their distance once the cameras were off. On the show, Xu Yan made a show of clearing his name, fussing over Shen Yucheng and giving the audience what they wanted. Shen Yucheng wasn't about to be outdone. He played along, serving him food, juicing vegetables for him, and giving him gifts. Little did he know that Xu Yan was allergic to shrimp, hated vegetable juice, and thought the hat he'd given him was hideous. But for the sake of the show, he accepted it all with a smile. After the show, Xu Yan completely cleared his name. He was showered with hit variety shows and top-tier scripts, free to choose whichever he liked. At the end of the year, he took home the global Best Actor award for a major production. He had stood on the highest honor stage, and he no longer wanted to be someone else's cannon fodder. He handed Shen Yucheng their fake marriage agreement. "Time's up. I'll give you what you wanted." Who could have guessed Shen Yucheng would pull him into his arms? The man who was always cold and indifferent whispered the gentlest words in his ear. "Yanyan, weren't you madly in love with me? Can't we stay married?" Xu Yan was stunned. He broke free from Shen Yucheng's embrace and turned to slap him. "Are you still acting?" * The gong realizes what he's lost and pursues his wife. The shou's bad reputation is real, and he'll go through a whole series of attempts to clear his name. * The story is entirely fictional. Don't compare it to real life. * The characters aren't based on real people. Please don't mention real people in the comments. * New chapters every night at midnight. - New Coming-Soon Story 1: "After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Became the Vicious Stepbrother" Song Shi transmigrates into a book, becoming the vicious stepbrother of Xu Chen, the pitiful shou in a tragic romance. In the book, the protagonist is bullied by his stepbrother from childhood, leaving him timid and insecure. Everyone wants to bully him, including the gong, who shows him not the slightest affection. Instead, he uses every cruel trick in the book to grind away Xu Chen's last shred of dignity until he becomes entirely his possession. And with that, the gong and shou get together, and the story ends. Not long after Song Shi arrives, five-year-old Xu Chen enters the Song household with his mother. The little boy softly calls him big brother, his bright black eyes holding a trace of fear. That night, the plot he receives tells him to beat the little kid until he cries… Song Shi: "…" He doesn't want to hit little Xu Chen. He wants to beat the perverted System to death. But he can only think about it, and in the end, all he can do is rage helplessly and resort to the next best thing: exploiting loopholes in the System. Under his stepbrother's control in the original story, the pitiful boy was underfed and underdressed, malnourished, frail, and short. But now, thanks to Song Shi's seemingly vicious yet secretly caring ways, he grows tall and strong, ending up half a head taller than Song Shi. Song Shi is deeply pleased. Now he doesn't look like a delicate little flower anyone can bully. Later, when the gong appears, Song Shi mocks him and tells him to open his eyes and stop falling for any loser who comes along. Little does he expect the little flower, who never dared talk back, to corner him against a wall. The strong, broad-shouldered young man smiles with a hint of wickedness. Song Shi raises an eyebrow at him. "What? Want to fight?" Are you really going to pick a fight with me over some scumbag? Have you lost your mind? You know how vicious I can be! Xu Chen looks at him, eyes brimming with warmth and laughter. "Big brother, you like me, don't you?" Song Shi is stunned. Is Xu Chen so traumatized by his bullying that he's lost his mind? "Big brother, admit it. I know. I know everything. When I get hurt, you wait until I'm asleep and put medicine on my wounds." Song Shi: "…" That's only because I was the one who hit you. "You even save cake for me to eat. No one else in the Song family cares whether I'm hungry. Only you do." Song Shi: "…" That's only because I told them not to give you food. "And when I get bullied, you go teach those people a lesson and tell them I'm your younger brother." Song Shi: "…" I was the one who let them bully you in the first place... Xu Chen hugs Song Shi tightly. His voice is gentle and trembling. "Big brother, you like me. I'm so happy I could die." Song Shi: "I... I..." Damn it, I can't explain myself!
