After Becoming the Green Tea in a Harem Novel

[My next book, The Male Lead's Character Is a Sham [Quick Transmigration], please add it to your reading list.]

After Jian Shuning failed his tribulation, he accidentally bound himself to a task System and transmigrated into an old-school, melodramatic danmei novel. He became a scheming, tea-green cannon-fodder character who had a crush on the protagonist shou and was one of his many admirers.

The protagonist shou was born with an irresistible charm that made everyone adore him. Aside from his looks, he was useless at everything. A childhood fever had left him a little slow to react, making him something of a clueless idiot shou.

And yet, somehow, he attracted five protagonist gongs who went crazy over him.

One: a cold, obsessive man who could never have what he wanted. Two: an arrogant, reckless, domineering man who did whatever he pleased. Three: a flirtatious playboy who kept a whole pond of fish and spouted nothing but trash. Four: warm on the outside, cold within, and a schemer. Five: a volatile, sickly-sweet obsessive, sensitive and suspicious.

Unfortunately, the protagonist shou unexpectedly regained his intelligence later in the story and tried to escape. The five protagonist gongs caught him and locked him up, leaving him without freedom for the rest of his life.

Jian Shuning had to change the protagonist shou's destined ending, and choose a true love for him, all without breaking character.

The trouble was, Jian Shuning was terrible at pretending. While carrying out his tasks, he was constantly on the verge of breaking character.

The protagonist shou was feeling fragile and emo, so Jian Shuning immediately comforted him in a chilly voice.

Gong One told Jian Shuning to stay away from the protagonist shou, and Jian Shuning mocked him for sticking his nose where it didn't belong.

Gong Two ran into trouble, and to prevent the world from collapsing, Jian Shuning rushed to save him.

Gradually, the tasks went more and more smoothly, but the prospective protagonist gongs started looking at him in increasingly strange ways.

Even the protagonist shou, who was supposed to be an idiot, seemed to be acting strangely.

*

In his original world, Jian Shuning was the male lead of a cultivation novel who practiced the Heartless Dao. He knew little about romance, and despite being warned time and again that Yan Min had ulterior motives, he remained stubbornly rigid in his determination to protect this "weak and naive" protagonist shou.

Until, during a fight, Jian Shuning saw with his own eyes the supposedly delicate, beautiful protagonist shou tap an enemy's face with a craft knife. The clear black eyes that had once seemed so innocent were now filled with unmistakable obsession and possessiveness.

"He's mine. Stay away from him."

At that moment, the System in Jian Shuning's mind chimed with a notification: [Detection complete. The protagonist shou's new romantic storyline will be linked to cannon-fodder character Jian Shuning.]

Jian Shuning: "...What?"

Wait, has the protagonist shou's character gone off the rails?

A black-sesame-filled, initially disguised-as-a-little-white-flower, obsessive gong, Yan Min X an emotionally detached, extremely capable male lead from a cultivation novel, shou, Jian Shuning

Notes:

1. The fan-favorite shou turns gong, and the gong is reborn.

2. The setting is fictional, and everything serves the plot.

3. The shou is somewhat of a fan favorite. The romance develops gradually, and there are no secondary couples.

4. The gong and shou are mutually devoted. The original protagonist shou and original Gong One are unrelated by blood and aren't registered in the same household.

5. The shou and the System get the script for a fanfic from a certain site, but transmigrate into the original career-focused novel. They're different worlds, and in his previous life, Yan Min can only be said to have been pursued.

6. The gong had a miserable past life. After being reborn, he is psychologically extreme and obsessive, and isn't perfect. At first, he pretends to be weak, and the shou will heal and save him.

Blurb: Wei Tong was sickly from birth and died before he turned twenty.

After his death, he accidentally bound himself to a Quick Transmigration System. He has to travel to various small worlds, play a bit-part cannon-fodder character, and push the plot forward.

But why have all these characters gone off the rails?

World One: The aloof male lead's sidekick at school

Wei Tong is the son of the male lead's housekeeper, and grew up alongside him.

He's a socially anxious outsider at school.

He quietly follows the male lead around, watching as he and the Mary Sue heroine embark on a passionate, torturous romance.

Then, one drunken night, the male lead pinned him down and kissed him for a long time.

Wei Tong, lips numb: "??? Weren't you supposed to be cold, abstinent, and uninterested in women?"

System: "Sweetie, he's interested in men."

Wei Tong: "..."

World Two: The womanizing protagonist gong's fiance

The protagonist gong in this world is a playboy with a whole pond full of fish.

Wei Tong is a lovestruck, naive young master. Their families are of equal standing, so he and the protagonist gong are engaged. Hoping to win his unfaithful fiance back, Wei Tong is even willing to offer himself one night. But the protagonist gong will sleep with anyone except him.

Wei Tong not only spends the whole night in a cold bath, but then has to endure endless betrayals.

In the end, their engagement is called off.

That night, Wei Tong takes an aphrodisiac and waits for the plot to unfold: the protagonist gong rejects him, and he ends up in a cold bath. The protagonist gong indeed has no interest in him, but Wei Tong, overwhelmed by the drug, accidentally sleeps with the wrong person.

Looking at the man before him, who is demanding that he take responsibility, Wei Tong says, "Weren't you supposed to be a loyal servant?"

System: "Sweetie, he's the antagonist."

"...?"

World Three: The beautiful protagonist shou's idiot gong

Wei Tong is an idiot with something wrong with his head, living in a fishing village. While playing by the river, he finds the amnesiac protagonist shou, and Wei Tong's parents force the two of them to marry.

But on their wedding night, the protagonist shou unexpectedly regains his memories and immediately calls off the wedding, ready to flee the village.

Wei Tong waits and waits until the protagonist shou regains his memories, then clings to him and refuses to let go.

Wei Tong, pinned down: "Weren't the protagonist shous supposed to be delicate, weak, and easy to push around? Why am I the one getting pushed down?"

System: "...I don't know. You're on your own."

Other worlds to be decided.
