Reborn, Not Seeking Revenge

Qi Jun only learned when he was dying that he was nothing more than a stand-in.

His wholehearted love earned him nothing but slander, stolen resources, reduced pay, and people using their power to bully him.

Even Shan Ziyu left him at his most desperate.

Reborn, Qi Jun swore he would never fall in love with Shan Ziyu again. He was going to shine on his own.

But...

Just as Qi Jun was about to face-slap the person who had slandered him, someone took down the trending topic first and handled the PR for him;

While Qi Jun was fighting for resources, the person competing with him suddenly got caught in a scandal and became hated across the internet;

Gradually, Qi Jun realized that the entire entertainment industry had changed.

Countless brands offered him endorsements, famous directors came knocking, and he won so many awards he could hardly keep track.

Was this really the same entertainment industry I'd been part of?

Everything seemed to be going smoothly for Qi Jun, except for one thing.

His boyfriend refused to break up with him.

Shan Ziyu poked him in the forehead. "You ungrateful brat. I took care of the online trolls for you, got you resources, and made sure no one dared bully you. Can't you see how much I love you?"

Qi Jun: "But don't you already have a white moonlight? Didn't you only treat me as a stand-in?"

Shan Ziyu pinned Qi Jun to the bed, gritting his teeth. "You believe what everyone else says, but you won't believe me? Looks like I haven't tried hard enough."

"I believe you, I believe you. Please, let me go..."

Afterward, Qi Jun rubbed his sore lower back and sulked. He'd never let himself doubt him again.

He was reborn, but didn't need revenge, because someone had already cleared away every obstacle before he could get started.

Versatile actor-bottom who focuses on his career x overbearing CEO-top who dotes on his husband

Please add my upcoming story, "The Cannon Fodder Isn't Worth It [Book Transmigration]," to your favorites:

Chen Yao was an excellent transmigration worker. After completing his System's mission, he chose a melodramatic, scum-and-masochist novel as his retirement world.

As a cannon fodder character, he dutifully finished his part in the story and then went off to live his own wonderful life.

But the people in the book refused to leave him alone.

The protagonist-top wouldn't stop pursuing him: "You bullied my bottom! Since you're so ungrateful, then... you can be my bottom instead!"

The devoted male supporting character couldn't forget him: "Your mother ruined my family, so... give me a love of my own in return!"

The protagonist-bottom was even willing to shed tears and take the top role for him: "I love you. I really can't forget you!"

Chen Yao: ...

Chen Yao: There's no need, really! Leave me alone. This is a movie for the three of you. Could you please not give me a speaking role!

Only the male supporting character who served as a mere plot device told him, "Whatever you want to do, I'll support you. Go for it!"

Chen Yao was moved to tears. "Uncle, you're the only one who's good to me!"

The scheming top smiled knowingly. "Of course. No matter how wild you are out there, you'll always come back to the nest. Uncle will be waiting for you in our little home. If you're away for one day, we'll do it all day. If you're away for two days, well... you know what I mean. (smiling.jpg)"

Chen Yao: ... I don't know QAQ
