The Cannon-Fodder CEO Is Ordinary, but He Has Faith

The moment he wakes up, Ye Xiangliang gains self-awareness and realizes he's a cannon-fodder supporting character in an entertainment-industry novel starring a male lead. In the novel, he is a domineering CEO who loves the protagonist, Gu Jizhi, desperately but can't win his heart. He uses his money and influence to force the protagonist into a dating contract, then pours money into paving his way to stardom. When the protagonist finally achieves success, Ye Xiangliang turns and walks away in despair. Ye Xiangliang: "Goodbye. If I've got that much money to spare, why not buy a few more apartment buildings?" But then he gets bound to a Simp System and has to complete missions according to the plot. Thus begins Ye Xiangliang's painful daily life as a simp. Day after day, he simps for three years. Just as he's about to reach the plot's turning point, a car accident leaves him with another System in his body: the Overconfident System. The Overconfident System says it's never seen anyone simp this hard, and vows to transform him into a confident, charming, irresistible man. Ye Xiangliang doesn't want to be an overconfident guy, but after three years of simping, he has to admit that being one is damn satisfying. So when Gu Jizhi throws the cake he gave him into the trash, Ye Xiangliang raises the corner of his mouth into a confident smile. "Another little game to reject me? You just want my attention, don't you?" When Gu Jizhi says coldly, "Stay away from me," he strides forward, raising an eyebrow. "Stop pretending. I know young guys like you are attracted to a mature man like me." When Gu Jizhi walks out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, Ye Xiangliang lies on the bed, propping his head on one hand and smiling at him. "Dressing like that to seduce me, huh, little wildcat? I really want to take you right here and now." Some time later, Gu Jizhi can take no more and pins him against the wall. "All you do is talk big. Why don't you actually do it?" Ye Xiangliang: "Haha... You're just saying that because you're mad. I don't believe you."
