The White Moonlight Antagonist Just Wants to Be a Lazy Fish [Book Transmigration]

[I unlocked the chapters before but left the story unfinished. My obsessive-compulsive side didn't want an unfinished, locked story sitting on my profile, so I've decided to release it and revise it until it's complete. Sections that have already been revised will be unlocked. Proceed with caution. -25.02.08] [Blurb] Lu Nian awakens. Only after awakening does he learn that he's merely the male lead's unrequited love in a book, a stumbling block in the romance between the male lead and his love interest. In the book, the previous-life Lu Nian was threatened with harm to his family, had his student registration canceled, was stripped of his freedom, and was forcibly imprisoned by the male lead. He eventually died in an accident without even seeing his only remaining relative one last time. After being reborn, he stopped at nothing to get revenge, took countless lives, and repeatedly drove a wedge between the male lead and his love interest. In the end, he earned himself a pair of silver bracelets and landed in prison. Lu Nian: ...Who exactly deserves to be in prison? This is completely backwards. Freshly reborn, Lu Nian decides to lie flat. All he wants is to study hard and turn over a new leaf. As he buries himself in his studies, the classmates who once got him expelled are disgraced and quietly transfer schools. The male lead's friends and family all look after themselves when disaster strikes. Even the male lead himself is in dire straits, barely able to protect himself. Lu Nian looks up from his book: I really just want to be a lazy fish.jpg This time, he achieves his goals in a more civilized way. The only one who escapes his plans is a minor cannon-fodder character: the male lead's number-one lackey, a yellow-haired campus troublemaker, and Lu Nian's childhood friend, Wen Ye. At some point, Wen Ye has transformed into the only son of a group chairman who has lost the ability to have children. He's even far ahead of the second-place student in his grades. Later, Lu Nian witnesses Wen Ye take on six people in a fight without even getting winded. But the moment Wen Ye sees him, he points at the men lying beside the trash can and complains, "Niannian, they beat me up!" Lu Nian: ...Can you stop pretending? Later still, one moment of carelessness is all it takes for Wen Ye to pin Lu Nian beneath the mistletoe. With a mischievous grin, the young man slowly bends down. "Niannian, people standing under the mistletoe aren't allowed to refuse a kiss." Lu Nian closes his eyes and thinks: Fine, I'll let him have his way this once. * Wen Ye read a book. It had a cannon-fodder character with the same name as him, who repeatedly handed the male lead's unrequited love over to the male lead to secure his own future. Every time he failed, he tried again, eventually driving the unrequited love to turn dark... Wen Ye was so furious his teeth ground together. He wanted to pin that cannon fodder down and beat him senseless. He didn't calm down until the darkened love interest finally had enough and fought back. Wen Ye: That was satisfying, thanks. But the next day, he transmigrated into a book as that cannon-fodder character, who only lived for a few chapters. At this point, the unrequited love hadn't turned dark yet. Wen Ye thought: If I do my best to make amends, I should still have a chance of surviving, right? Reading guide: [1. The pursued is reborn, the pursuer transmigrates into a book.
