The Devoted Cannon Fodder Only Wants to Finish Their Research Project

[The story is complete! The next book, "The Paranoid CEO Won't Play the Part Anymore [Book Transmigration]," is open for favorites. The blurb is below this one. Kisses!]

Yu Yinian transmigrates into a novel as a cannon-fodder simp who relentlessly pursues the male lead, his handsome senior. In the end, he gets nothing: his senior and his white moonlight get their happy ending, while Yu Yinian's grades are a disaster and he's expelled without mercy.

When he first arrives, he's at risk of failing because he can't submit his psychology research project.

Yu Yinian, who has always breezed through his studies: How the hell am I supposed to put up with that?

So he makes a decisive move. To the class representative's shock, he announces his topic in a firm, resonant voice: "Analyzing the psychology of the person being pursued through changes in their emotions and behavior."

From then on, Yu Yinian embarks on an utterly half-hearted campaign of devotion:

1. When the male lead is playing basketball, he settles down nearby with a book of CET-4 vocabulary and quietly memorizes words for a while, until he suddenly remembers why he came. He looks around, imitates the expression of the girl beside him, pinches his thigh hard to force his face to turn red, then yells with a wild look in his eyes, "Mu Xingfang is so handsome! Aaaah!"

2. The original owner delivered a heart-shaped breakfast every day without fail, but Yu Yinian can't cook. So he reaches a long-term arrangement with a delivery driver instead.

3. After the male lead falls into the water, Yu Yinian drags him to shore, only to be scolded: "I can swim. What trick are you trying to pull now?" The male lead storms off as if something filthy had touched him. Yu Yinian can only pick up his clothes dejectedly and turn away in sorrow. Where no one can see him, he types furiously into his phone's notes app: The research subject's emotions have fluctuated dramatically...

Later, Yu Yinian finally finishes his research project and happily frees himself from the simpering-lover label everyone has given him, only to find himself blocked by the subject of his research, Mu Xingfang.

Mu Xingfang presses his lips together and asks awkwardly, "Why haven't you been coming around? Are you sick?"

Yu Yinian answers blandly, "Oh, my research project is over."

Mu Xingfang: ???

*

There's always someone by Mu Xingfang's side, showing him endless concern and consideration. A pair of beautiful eyes gazes at him with deep affection, and yet it irritates him to no end.

But when that person stops appearing in front of him for more than ten days, Mu Xingfang finds himself irritated all over again.

At last, he corners him in front of the teaching building, only to discover, to his shock, that the concern was fake, the breakfasts were fake, and the love was fake, too.

[A beautiful junior who pretends to be a lovesick fool but only cares about studying, paired with a handsome senior who dislikes him at first but eventually falls hard]

P.S.:

1. The junior unknowingly plays hard to get, and the senior bites every time. Both are inexperienced, one-on-one pairing.

2. The white moonlight is just a background character. When the junior arrives, the senior hasn't met the white moonlight yet. Please don't read if that bothers you.

3. The junior's emotions usually don't fluctuate much, unless studying is involved.

4. Set in a fictional modern world. Don't scrutinize the details too closely~

5. Updates at 9 p.m. If I get stuck, it might be pushed to after 11 p.m. _(:з”∠)_

Blurb for "The Paranoid CEO Won't Play the Part Anymore [Book Transmigration]":

Ji Mianzhu transmigrates into a book.

He becomes the paranoid villainous CEO with a taste for men in a melodramatic danmei novel, a man who uses his family's power and influence to force the protagonist shou to marry him.

When he arrives, it's already their wedding night.

Ji Mianzhu pulls at his belt with one hand while placing the other on the protagonist shou's firm, taut abdomen, leaning in as if to make an improper advance.

When he meets the protagonist shou's vicious gaze, Ji Mianzhu suddenly remembers the miserable fate awaiting him later in the book, when the protagonist gong and shou gang up on him. His slender, fair hands tremble almost imperceptibly.

His expression slowly turns serious, and he begins to pull at the belt more slowly.

Then his misbehaving hand rubs the protagonist shou's lower abdomen a couple of times, and he opens his thin lips to deliver a string of remarks:

"Your muscles aren't firm enough. Clearly, you've never suffered the hardships of office work."

"Come to the office with me tomorrow and work 996."

The look of humiliation on the protagonist shou's face, as he half-reclines on the bed, falters.

Ji Mianzhu finishes speaking, gives him an evil, charming smile, pulls his robe closed, and strides away on his long legs. He looks disdainful, but in truth, he's fleeing in a panic.

Later, Ji Mianzhu quietly plays the part of a domineering CEO and carefully paves the way for the protagonist shou, waiting for him to leave so he can enjoy a peaceful retirement as a CEO. The original owner, however, was a paranoid freak, and that image is deeply ingrained in everyone's mind. The private psychologist he hired keeps showing up to suggest that he have a proper relationship to treat his condition, much to the annoyance of the perfectly normal Ji Mianzhu.

He looks up at the young psychologist who won't stop talking and raises an eyebrow.

"How about you?"

The doctor leaves in a hurry.

Ji Mianzhu lets out a sigh of relief.

What a joke. When would a CEO ever fall in love? A CEO should be focused on building his career.

But Ji Mianzhu, now relaxed, fails to notice a figure disappearing from the doorway in a flash.

That night, in his dream, Ji Mianzhu feels something pinning him down, making it hard to breathe. When he opens his eyes, he finds himself staring straight at the protagonist shou, Jiang Lian.

In the hazy moonlight, Jiang Lian braces one hand beside Ji Mianzhu's cheek, his expression impossibly tender. But the very next second, his face changes abruptly, filled with possessiveness. He leans closer to Ji Mianzhu, his voice tender and crazed:

"I'm the one who married you. It's only right that I solve your problem."

With that, he yanks open the belt.

Ji Mianzhu, undergoing treatment against his will: ???

A beautiful CEO shou focused on his career, paired with a genuinely paranoid, possessive gong.

Theme: Strive to be an outstanding young person in the new century.
