The Hilarious Cannon Fodder Is the CEO's One and Only

(The author is off falling in love, so updates will be delayed. Sorry, my dear readers!)

On the first night after transmigrating into a book, lifelong single Zhou Xihe was pinned against the wall by a gorgeous man.

The man gripped his chin hard. "I hope you give up on your unrealistic fantasies. I will never fall for you."

Later, he finally realized he was a cannon-fodder character meant to advance the protagonists' romance. Early on, he antagonized the protagonist, the top, Jiang Yu, and forced him to marry him. But Jiang Yu turned the tables, using him as a shield to resist his family's arranged marriage. In the end, everyone turned on Zhou Xihe, leaving him disgraced and ruined.

We were all born human for the first time. Why should I have to be cannon fodder?

Zhou Xihe wasn't having it. He was ready to make a scene. To hell with the idea that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Jiang Yu: "Fifty million. Play your part well."

Zhou Xihe stopped making a scene. "Now that's an offer. I hope the CEO keeps his promise and doesn't change his mind."

Jiang Yu sneered. "Keep dreaming."

Six months later, the day came for Jiang Yu to get engaged to the story's official bottom.

Zhou Xihe waited alone in his room for the money to come through, then planned to make a break for freedom. Oh no, surely this rich guy wasn't going to renege?

He opened the door.

Surprise!

Everyone cheered at Zhou Xihe, "Marry him! Marry him!"

Zhou Xihe: "Sorry, you've got the wrong person. I didn't expect anyone to choose the wedding suite for their stand-in, either. I'll be leaving now. CEO, where's my money?"

Jiang Yu: "What's the rush? I'll give you enough red envelopes to open all night. For now, let's take care of business."

Zhou Xihe didn't get it, but smiled. "Didn't someone say he wouldn't change his mind?"

Jiang Yu touched his sexy nose. "Who? You were so clingy that night, I don't remember a thing."

Zhou Xihe: "??? No way. I said I'd never date a man, and that I'd be a dog before I let one get close. Back off."

"Be good, don't make a fuss." Jiang Yu pulled Zhou Xihe into his arms and patted his head. "Where could you go without me?"

Outside the door stood a crowd of high-quality men, including a handsome, tragic young master, a superstar who was his childhood friend, and a sickly, younger heartthrob.

Jiang Yu: "??? Who are all these people, and how did they get into my house?"

Zhou Xihe trembled. "Wait, weren't all these people telling me they were your admirers? Don't tell me they lied to me!!!???"

Jiang Yu: "..."

The big shots all liked me, so why did they wear secret identities and pretend to be my friends? Zhou Xihe cried.

Jiang Yu chuckled. "Who else do you want to like?"

Reader's note:

* The blurb's gimmick isn't the main plot, and the pacing is probably somewhat slow.

* This will definitely be completed, but my current circumstances (chores) make it impossible to update consistently.

* 1v1 HE, silly, sweet, adored-by-everyone, drama-loving bottom x tsundere, devoted, says one thing but means another top

Theme: There will always be someone in this world who loves you
