I Became the Male Lead's Sidekick, and the Second Male Lead Set His Sights on Me

My next novel, My Silly Childhood Friend Finally Gets It, is up next. Please show it some love! - The completed, revised version is available only on Jinjiang. Thanks to all the lovely readers for your support. Xie Simin is the villainous second male lead in a Mary Sue romance novel, a handsome, tragic school heartthrob who suffers countless hardships before turning evil. He is refined and elegant on the outside, but a cultured scumbag within. His popularity eclipses that of the domineering, greasy, and hopelessly clueless male lead, a rich second-generation school bully who only knows how to pin the school's belle against a wall and kiss her. In the end, the author simply makes Xie Simin the protagonist... After the protagonist's halo changes hands, the already-weak male lead squad gets crushed by Xie Simin and beaten to a pulp. Tang Sui transmigrates into the male lead's cousin, a representative of the male lead squad and one of the key figures responsible for Xie Simin's descent into darkness. He's a villainous cannon-fodder lackey with hair like a feather duster and a head full of terrible ideas... His plan: 1. Help his cousin lose the greasy act, learn how to properly woo the female lead, and reclaim the protagonist's halo. 2. Clear his own name. Work hard at it. 3. Get on Xie Simin's good side and guide him toward the light. . As a brilliant top student and school heartthrob in the real world, Tang Sui believes he can do it! Later, even though all his plans succeed, he can't help feeling that something is a little off... 1. His school-bully cousin is still hopelessly greasy, but somehow manages to win the heart of the school belle. 2. He doesn't even have to clear Xie Simin's name. Every time, Xie Simin does it faster than he can. 3. The school heartthrob who turned evil has gone good, and he's also turned gay... [Bonus scene] Tang Sui watches Xie Simin orbiting around him all day with increasingly gay vibes and swallows nervously. "Hey, man, why don't you go after the school belle instead? I'll definitely help you!" Xie Simin pulls out his phone and shows him the latest school-belle poll. At the very top is a photo of Tang Sui dressed as a woman. He'd put on the outfit himself after claiming to have a cross-dressing fetish in order to save Xie Simin from embarrassment. Xie Simin smiles gently. "I'm pursuing her. Will you help?" Tang Sui: "..." Note: 1. The shou's father adopted him, so the gong and shou are not blood-related. 2. Tang Sui: not Ju, and not a name collision. Sui as in the character pronounced hui. 3. This is a fictional transmigration-into-a-book story, so don't overthink it. A sweet little story to pass the time. If you like it, please support it; if not, please leave amicably. Hope you have a happy day. Coming soon: After Giving Up the Throne, I Got Pinned Against a Wall by a Beauty Xiao Xuesheng is bound to a villain System and dutifully plays a regent with the same name as himself in a book. Just as he is about to ascend the throne, the System malfunctions. According to the plot, he will soon be killed by the young Crown Prince Murong Jie, whom he had schemed against and oppressed. And now there's no System to block the pain for him. Xiao Xuesheng shudders and steps aside, citing ill health as he respectfully invites Crown Prince Murong Jie to take the throne. He himself carries on as a prince with a different surname. . The court is in an uproar. Everyone assumes Xiao Xuesheng is just putting on an act. But after the new emperor ascends the throne, Xiao Xuesheng actually resigns and retires to seclusion. To be safe, he even sends various little gifts to his imperial nephew, whom he used to scheme against and oppress, in an attempt to curry favor. . Murong Jie receives the gifts and thinks back on how Xiao Xuesheng used to treat him. If it wasn't for the throne, could it be that he wanted... He remembers being known as the most handsome man in the capital, and then recalls the restraint in that man's cold eyes whenever he treated him harshly... . One day in the mountains, Xiao Xuesheng has just speared a fish in the river and is happily heading home to roast it when someone blocks his way. Xiao Xuesheng sees Murong Jie appear out of nowhere, and the huge fish drops from his hands onto the ground. He does his best to keep his expression calm and raises his hands in a salute. "Everything I did in the past was for your sake. Heaven and earth can attest to my sincerity. I beg Your Majesty not to hold it against..." Before Xiao Xuesheng can finish, he is interrupted. Because Murong Jie has actually pinned him against a tree. . Murong Jie glances at the fish flopping helplessly on the ground, then at the aloof man whose thin lips tremble with excitement at seeing him, and who dares not meet his eyes. He smiles. "Uncle, no need to say more. I already understand your feelings." Xiao (Iron) Xue (Straight) Sheng: ... Who am I? Where am I? What the hell are you even talking about???!!! . A domineering, seductive-looking gong who is an expert at making things up in his head and relentlessly wooing himself X an aloof, beautiful-on-the-outside but silly and cowardly-on-the-inside shou who constantly makes sarcastic remarks as the plot goes off the rails.
