After Reincarnating as a Sickly Side Character, I Gave Up

[Coming Soon: Whatever, This Goofy Dimwit of an Emperor Will Take Action] [Coming Soon: I'm the Only Mute in the Boy Band] Please add them to your collection! Sang Huan transmigrated into a novel about a wealthy family's power struggles, becoming a cannon-fodder male supporting character who could kick the bucket at any moment. The original owner was the only child in his family for nine generations. He was frail and had been spoiled by his family, which made him arrogant and ill-tempered. He fell in love at first sight with the novel's male lead, Bo Weinian. To satisfy their beloved son's demands, his parents used threats and bribes to force Bo Weinian to marry him. But after the wedding, Bo Weinian treated him coldly. The original owner flew into a rage and tormented and humiliated Bo Weinian in every way, leaving the two of them at each other's throats. Bo Weinian was a castoff of a wealthy family. His father had died young, and despite his many talents, his family paid him little attention. His cousins also bullied and suppressed him. But he never gave in to despair. He bided his time, worked hard, and seized his chance, eventually becoming head of the family. When the original owner learned that Bo Weinian loved someone else, he actually got so angry that he died. When Sang Huan arrived, it was the day after his wedding to Bo Weinian. He checked the nine-digit balance in his bank account and thought, Thank goodness. Even if I died, I'd be laughing myself back to life. To hell with that bastard. He wasn't interested. His current goal was to treat every day as if it were the end of the world. Until his illness acted up, he would live each day to the fullest. Bo Weinian had been forced to marry the young master of the Sang family. He'd heard the young master had a growth in his brain and could die at any moment. Since the young master wouldn't live long, he decided to put up with it. He'd expected to have to tolerate the young master's bad temper and unreasonable tantrums after the wedding. But to his surprise, Sang Huan treated him like he wasn't there, spending every day out on the town and squandering money without a care. At first, Bo Weinian was more than happy that Sang Huan ignored him. But later, Bo Weinian often woke in the middle of the night. As soon as he came to, he'd cling to the person beside him, kissing him as if he were a priceless treasure while threatening him in a hoarse voice: "If anything happens to you, I'll destroy the Sang family and make them go down with you!" Sang Huan was so sleepy he could barely open his eyes. "You've said that 998 times already. Can't you come up with a new line?" Bo Weinian's eyes quietly reddened. He stroked Sang Huan's face and said gently, "I know you're not afraid of dying. In fact, you'd be more obedient dead. Then you'd belong to me forever. Life and death can't separate us. Huanhuan and I will always be together." Sang Huan woke right up. "...If I really die, there's a good chance it'll be because you scared me to death." [Coming Soon 1: Whatever, This Goofy Dimwit of an Emperor Will Take Action] Please add it to your collection! In his previous life, Duan Baitan went to the capital to seek refuge with his sworn brother, Zhao Jie. Because of his handsome looks, the powerful Ninth Prince took a liking to him. After an accident, the Ninth Prince abducted Duan Baitan and took him back to his manor, where he subjected him to humiliation and torture. Duan Baitan thought his most trusted sworn brother could save him from his misery. But only when he was on the verge of death did he learn that Zhao Jie had betrayed him all along, giving him to the Ninth Prince as a gift in exchange for his own future. In the end, Duan Baitan died a miserable death in the prince's manor, consumed by hatred. Reborn on the very day Zhao Jie planned to offer him to the Ninth Prince, Duan Baitan, utterly disillusioned, decided to take revenge on everyone. He knew that someone else lived in the palace compound next to the Ninth Prince's manor: the current emperor, who wielded even more power than the Ninth Prince and was even more cruel and tyrannical. With a small, clever scheme, Duan Baitan spent the night with the tyrant. The next day, just as expected, the emperor sent people to the Zhao residence to bring him into the palace. Duan Baitan prepared himself to face death without fear. He planned to confess to the emperor that Zhao Jie and the Ninth Prince had ordered him to seduce His Majesty, so they could all die with him. But when he arrived at the palace, the emperor dismissed everyone else and, instead of blaming him, blushed and asked, "I don't have any experience. Did I hurt you last night?" Duan Baitan had no one in the world. After being reborn, his only reason to keep living was to take revenge on everyone who had ever hurt him. For that goal, he was willing to set aside his dignity and submit beneath the tyrant's bedcovers. But gradually, Duan Baitan realized that the emperor seemed different from the cruel, cold-blooded ruler of the rumors. He also kept saying things Duan Baitan couldn't understand. "I've killed off everyone you hate. When can I cuddle up to you, darling?" "Another minister advised me at court to share my favor equally. I demoted him three thousand li on the spot. Anyone who ruins my devotion to my husband, no matter how far away, must be punished!" "Darling, the Imperial Kitchen must have put too much salt in today's food. Otherwise, why would I keep having nothing to do but miss you?" When Li Lingwang studied history, he had sneered at King You of Zhou, who had set beacon fires to amuse his favorite consort. He couldn't understand how an emperor could become so foolish over beauty. That was until he transmigrated into the body of a tyrant with the same name and met Duan Baitan. It really is delicious. [Coming Soon 2: I'm the Only Mute in the Boy Band] Please add it to your collection! I'm the only mute and the youngest member of a hugely popular boy band. I have four bandmates: the stunningly handsome leader A, all-around singer and dancer B, genius producer C, and soulful vocalist D. As for me, I can't sing, I'm only an average dancer, and the only song I can play on the piano is "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." I don't even know why I was chosen for such an outstanding team. Somehow, I also became the big brothers' favorite. A mute can't speak, but a mute can keep plenty of secrets. For example, big brother A, our leader, holds my chin and teaches me how to perfect my facial expressions. When I can't dance well, big brother B, our dance specialist, gives me one-on-one lessons. The inspiration for producer big brother C's latest hit came from our everyday life living together. (Don't get the wrong idea. We're just roommates.) And big brother D, the vocalist, is a straight shooter. He has already confessed to me. (I haven't said yes yet.) To stay in the band, I can't reject any of them, but I'm never worried about getting found out. Because a mute can't speak. Until one day, I awakened. I learned that I was actually an NPC in a romance-focused dating game, and my bandmates were players trying to win me over. The players could only unlock their next target, the most popular NPC in the whole game, by successfully winning me over. So the big brothers' affection for me was all for the sake of building up their progress with that person. A mute may not be able to speak, but a mute can pack a punch. Theme: Keep an upbeat, positive attitude, and refuse to lie flat and give up.
