Please add this to your collection. I couldn't find any inspiration for my previous story, so I'm trying a new one.

Ye Qiuwu transmigrated into a book. After spending years working 996 and saving up to buy a little place of his own, he collapsed from overwork and became a minor male character who died after only a few brief mentions. He was also called Ye Qiuwu, a spoiled rich kid who was useless at everything and spent all day loafing around.
All the heirs in the wealthy circle were fiercely competitive, but the Ye family had produced a good-for-nothing who spent all day hanging out with other rich kids. Ye's father handed almost all the family businesses to his eldest son, leaving Ye Qiuwu with only a small, unremarkable company. He had the title of CEO but none of the authority, and a fixed allowance of just 200,000 yuan a month.
Ye Qiuwu became the laughingstock of everyone in and out of their circle: "Poor guy, sitting on a mountain of gold that he can't inherit!"
Ye Qiuwu himself was delighted. "What kind of amazing deal is this?"
He could lounge around and still have money to spend, and even flirt with pretty boys. What a heavenly life.
After taking a look around, he quickly picked out Pretty Boy No. 1, 2, 3, and 4.
-
He heard that Pretty Boy No. 1, Han Guinian, was constantly oppressed by his superiors. He had plenty of talent but nowhere to use it, and spent his days feeling dejected.
Ye Qiuwu waved a hand and offered him a five-million-yuan annual salary to be his assistant.
Han Guinian firmly refused, saying he regarded money as dirt.
Ye Qiuwu: "? Good, very individualistic. Pretty boy, you've successfully caught my attention."
The more setbacks he faced, the braver Ye Qiuwu became. He heard that Han Guinian liked romance.
An overbearing CEO has money powers, so romance is no problem.
After creating one romantic gesture after another, and thinking he had moved Han Guinian so much that he would gladly give himself to him, Ye Qiuwu smoothly suggested they get together.
Who knew Han Guinian would smile faintly and say, "I have a partner."
The extremely decent Ye Qiuwu heard that Han Guinian's partner was not only two-timing him with countless people, but also lying and playing the victim in every possible way. Han Guinian was trapped in this relationship, suffering more than death itself and mired in misery.
Ye Qiuwu: "Isn't this the perfect opportunity for me?"
So he became Han Guinian's understanding big brother, keeping him company and chatting with him.
In the end, he lost his own heart, too.
Then he discovered:
Back when Han Guinian had "debated the crowd of candidates," he had already dealt with Nos. 2, 3, and 4 before they even showed up. Han Guinian's so-called partner was already an ex, and his wingman performance was worthy of an Oscar.
Ye Qiuwu: ...
What a masterful plan.
-
Han Guinian went fishing, and never let go once he got a bite.
