After Becoming the Male Lead's Ex-Girlfriend and Cannon Fodder

[Coming Soon: "The Male Virtue System [Quick Transmigration]". Please add it to your reading list.]

Chen Wu transmigrates into a novel as Chen Wuye, a cannon-fodder male supporting character who is deeply in love with the male lead. Just as he arrives, the male lead coldly flings a contract and a check in his face.

The deal is to pretend to be the male lead's useless current boyfriend, so he can be contrasted with the male lead's beloved and made to look inferior. This will highlight the beloved's perfection and help him marry into a wealthy family.

In the original story, Chen Wuye agrees to pretend to be the male lead's boyfriend in order to get closer to him, but accepts no money. In the end, he loses both his money and his dignity, and the smears against him stick for good!

After recalling the plot, Chen Wu wipes his face and takes the check.

Romance just costs you money. Stirring things up is the great work that gives life meaning.

Money isn't the point. He mainly wants to bring the main couple together so the lovers can have their happy ending!

Chen Wu dutifully performs his role in front of the characters, but in private, he can't change his true nature: clubbing, dancing, and partying without a care in the world.

But can someone tell him why a character he's never heard of, Fu Chenting, has suddenly appeared in the story? And why is he the original male lead's older brother?

And why is the older brother even more enthusiastic about bringing the male lead and his beloved together? He even ruthlessly sends his regretful younger brother abroad.

Finally, Fu Chenting holds out a rose and says with a solemn face, "By rights, I ruined your chance at love, so I owe you one."

It's hilarious. Last night he tore Chen Wu's clothes off with the roughness of a wild man, and now he wants to talk about what's right!

The System says: You must be open-minded and generous. He only made one little mistake that every man makes. You can't hold a grudge over something like that.

The System says: You can't have children, so you must cherish his children with other people even more. Treat them as your own and devote yourself to raising them and caring for your husband.

Coming Soon 2: "The More He Plays the Substitute, the Wilder He Gets"

Someone asks Meng Qi, "What would you do if you found out your lover was always looking for someone else's shadow in you?"

Meng Qi replies, "Obviously, I'd dump him on the spot!"

But when the moment comes, Meng Qi can't follow through.

Meng Qi: Don't ask. He just gives me too much...

*

Meng Qi is a pretty boy with a severe fear of missing out, a serious collecting habit, and mild hoarding tendencies. When he meets Wen Jingheng, he's struck by his beauty and unilaterally declares him the man he'll love forever.

But he forgets that, with an avoidant attachment style like his, his so-called "love" rarely lasts very long.

After he starts dating Wen Jingheng, Meng Qi performs the role of a man deeply in love, who ultimately gets his happy ending with his idol. But in private, he grows more anxious by the day.

Then one day, a provocateur shows up and tells him he's just a substitute, and that the real one is coming back soon.

Meng Qi: I'm a substitute? That's great!

Meng Qi thinks he can finally walk away with his conscience clear, but then those damn flaws of his rear their heads again...

*

After Meng Qi realizes Wen Jingheng doesn't love him and is using him as a substitute, he lets loose more and more, and his desire to perform grows stronger by the day.

His collecting habit kicks in too. He starts treating those high-quality men with ulterior motives as prey, throwing himself into the act more and more and enjoying his wild ways more with every passing day.

Finally, one day, Wen Jingheng holds him in despair and begs humbly, "Xiao Qi, I'm the one who did wrong. Please stop giving up on yourself and treating yourself so carelessly."

Meng Qi: Treating myself carelessly? I'm having the time of my life!

Theme: Be true to yourself. You don't have to compromise just to please others.
