The Backup Reborn as Everyone's Dream Girl

Updates won't be regular, so I recommend waiting until it's complete before starting. [Coming soon: After Transmigrating into a Book, I Became Famous with Flashy Metaphysics] Shen You's looks are off the charts, but his luck in love is spectacularly bad. The people he likes always string him along and treat him as a backup. One day, he dreams that his world is a reverse-harem romance novel, and that all the people treating him as a backup are potential male leads who only love the heroine. Shen You gets it. It isn't that he's not good enough; he's just been picking the wrong people. Given a second chance at life, he steers clear of the love triangle in the book and sets out to be a rich kid with modern values. On the day of freshman registration, Shen You drives a Bugatti to help a junior carry her luggage, and happens to see the heroine being interviewed in a JK uniform. At that moment, he learns what it means for a fairy to glow. His orientation, which had been bent like a mosquito coil since birth, suddenly straightens out. Facing the three potential male leads who bicker with one another every day, Shen You declares, "Sorry, guys. I'm taking the heroine." Only after confessing with 999 roses does Shen You realize something is wrong. Why is the heroine's package bigger than his? What happened to the girlfriend he thought he had? * The day before university registration, He Xingyan makes a bet with his friends: whoever loses at cards has to go to school in women's clothes. Unfortunately, He Xingyan, who had been on an 800-game winning streak, loses. On registration day, He Xingyan sees Shen You showing off in front of him, gives a soft laugh, and gets into his car. One evening, He Xingyan points to the JK skirts covering the bed and smiles at Shen You. "I remember you really like pink JK uniforms. How about wearing a different one every day?" Shen You: "..." Also known as I'm Straight, I Swear and Why the Hell Is a Guy Wearing a Skirt to Deceive an Innocent Young Man? I once swore I wouldn't date handsome scumbags. Then I realized that fair skin hides every flaw, and a sweet smile covers a multitude of sins. * A pretty-boy fanatic who talks a big game on the surface, the bottom x a scheming, flirtatious, wolfish rich-kid top * A goofy one-on-one romance, not much logic * The bottom has a everyone-loves-him tendency. He's just that cute. * The top only wears women's clothes in the first chapter. It all depends on the bottom's 800-meter beauty filter. * Younger top. The top is a little over two months younger than the bottom. * Character art by @TuNiShenZiTao Coming soon: After Transmigrating into a Book, I Became Famous with Flashy Metaphysics Blurb: After transmigrating into a rich-family entertainment-industry power fantasy, Tu Yu discovers that he's a minor character who shows up to provoke the male lead, only to get brutally beaten in the next moment. He arrives to find the whole internet mocking him and an astronomical breach-of-contract penalty hanging over his head. With a sigh, Tu Yu picks up his old trade. The next day's trending topic: This Year's Biggest Joke in the Entertainment Industry. Minor celebrity Tu Yu claims to be a Taoist priest. His haters fly into a rage: Get out of the entertainment industry already. Stop trying to make yourself look important. Curious people check out the shop he opened and become haters too: Whose peachwood swords are studded with diamonds? Who puts glitter on talismans? According to someone who paid the stupid tax, the talisman even smells of Darjeeling tea perfume. Do you really have to go this far to fake a persona? Looking at his rocky career, Tu Yu responds on livestream: I'm a real Taoist priest, with a license and everything. See those little black round sunglasses on my head? They're a must-have for metaphysics. What, you say I'm just a pretty face? Does this mean I can finally make a living off my looks? Thanks, buddy. Netizens: ... Later, they discover that the official Taoist website and veteran industry figures have shared Tu Yu's post, and even popular actresses and award-winning actors have patronized his business. Even the people who paid the stupid tax for talismans say their luck and romantic prospects have genuinely improved. That night, the shop is flooded with orders and sells out. * The first time Lu Huaixi meets Tu Yu, Tu Yu provokes him, then tries to climb into his bed that very night. The second time they meet, Tu Yu sighs at him. Your fate should have been excellent, but now it looks like you won't live much longer. It'd be a waste to earn all that money and not spend it. You can't take it with you, and the money people use down there isn't this kind, either. Tu Yu: How about I do a good deed and spend the money for you? Lu Huaixi: ... Later, Tu Yu wakes up in bed at dawn, dazed. That can't be right. How are you still alive? I couldn't have read it wrong! Lu Huaixi wraps his arms around him. "I'll do a good deed and let you spend my money. Do your best to make me die on top of you." * A goofy one-on-one romance, my take on metaphysics * A flashy hedonist x a taciturn, hard-working top who earns money to spend on his wife * The cover features the bottom Theme: Sincerity can only be repaid with sincerity
