[Bottom's perspective, bottom's perspective, bottom's perspective. The important things bear repeating three times.]
The thing Song Yuchen regretted most was opening a certain romance-fiction website and subscribing to a story called Sharing the Cold, Sickly Beauty of a Powerful Family. And then...
He transmigrated into the book as the biggest cannon fodder of all: the contract son-in-law brought in to bring good luck to the sickly beauty.
After marrying into the Ji family, this son-in-law had secretly defied them and committed all sorts of evil. First he forcibly took the protagonist, Ji Qing, then seized the Ji family's property, and finally, for his own gain, teamed up with a bunch of random male leads to do the kind of depraved things that website loved to write about to Ji Qing...
Thinking of how Ji Qing would eventually turn completely dark, join forces with the legitimate male lead, and leave his original self, the son-in-law, to die a gruesome death far from home, his body never to be found, Song Yuchen shuddered.
To stay alive, Song Yuchen worked desperately with tears in his eyes, kept his head down and turned over a new leaf, clung to the beautiful man's leg, and waited for the contract to end.
Afraid someone would slip his sickly beauty some unspeakable drug, Song Yuchen took charge of all Ji Qing's meals.
Song Yuchen (eagerly): You used to eat meat in every chapter. Your body can't take that. Come try the tofu I've carved for you.
Ji Qing: ...
Afraid his sickly beauty was too weak to resist someone taking liberties with him, Song Yuchen took over all of Ji Qing's personal care.
Song Yuchen (rolling up his sleeves): You go all soft at the slightest touch. Don't you know that? From now on, I'm the only one allowed to bathe you.
Ji Qing: ...?
Afraid his sickly beauty was too frail to defend himself against a forceful man, Song Yuchen drew up a Muay Thai training plan for Ji Qing.
Song Yuchen (with a determined look): The protagonists on LJJ can take on ten scum men at once. Why not practice on me? I'm more professionally scummy than they are.
Ji Qing was utterly speechless: ...This son-in-law of mine must have something seriously wrong with his head.
Even though Song Yuchen carefully looked after him every day, Ji Qing only seemed to grow more delicate, as though he couldn't be without Song Yuchen for even a moment. If things kept going this way, when would Ji Qing ever find his destined male lead?
So that his sickly beauty could reach a happy ending sooner, Song Yuchen painfully gave up his savings and spent a fortune inviting Ji Qing's destined male lead, a certain popular movie emperor, to dinner at their house.
During the meal, Song Yuchen watched with satisfaction as the two men exchanged glances, sparks flying.
Just as Song Yuchen was humming to himself, happily leaving the two of them alone together, a casual glance made him freeze.
The person who had picked up the eight-pack movie emperor like a chicken, with his bare hands... wasn't he the sickly beauty who had told him just yesterday that he couldn't open a soda bottle?
At the other end of the alley, Ji Qing, still unaware of the truth, slapped a check against the movie emperor's face.
"Take the money and stay away from my husband."
