The Background Character Keeps Breaking Up the Canon Couple

What do you do when the world suddenly turns into a romance novel?

Fang Jue: Thanks for asking. I just want the leads to hurry up, fall in love, and get the plot moving.

But in reality...

The dangerously charismatic CEO and the innocent young man stroll past.

Everyone: Please, hurry up and fall in love!

Fang Jue ponders the male supporting character following behind the CEO...

The leads of a toxic romance are about to embark on the road to winning back the heroine.

Everyone: Please, hurry up and get your happy ending!

Fang Jue thinks it over. I feel like a tragic ending would make more sense...

After a few rounds, everyone roars: Drag this heretic out of here!!!

P.S. This story has a ton of side couples.

Blurb:

The night before heading to a dating show, Qiao Qing, a washed-up actor from the bottom of the entertainment industry, learns that this is a world spawned from a romance game.

Qiao Qing pounds the ground in fury: No wonder this game is such garbage! It's ruined my career!

The game has three endings:

Happy End: Only one person falls in love with you, and you live happily ever after.

Normal End: No one falls in love with you, and you live out your days alone.

Bad End: More than one person develops feelings for you. In the end, they can't control their pathological possessiveness and kill you.

Qiao Qing: I'm this good-looking, so why do I have to date these psychos? I'll pick the second ending!

But he forgets that when someone is beautiful enough, one glance is all it takes to make others fall in love.

The shy upperclassman who throws sulfuric acid at the protagonist in the ending CG: "I love how gentle you are..."

The aloof singing god who chops the protagonist into dozens of pieces with a kitchen knife: "You're really smart. I like smart people."

The playboy heir who repeatedly runs the protagonist over with his car: "Your strength of character makes my heart flutter."

And there are others lurking nearby, ready to drown him or drug him.

Qiao Qing breaks out in a cold sweat: What is it you like about me? I'll change, okay???

The upperclassman hates people who are willful. Is making a fuss in the middle of the night because you want ice cream too much?

The singing god hates stupid people. Is taking half an hour to do two-digit addition and subtraction stupid enough?

The heir hates fragile people. Watch me cough for you!

Qiao Qing thinks he can escape by changing his persona, but why are their gazes growing more and more intense...

Trembling, he clutches the hem of the clothes of the character marked "Unpursuable" in the game. "What should I do? If only everyone were as harmless as you..."

The powerful man, hiding all his sharp edges for fear of frightening someone, gently draws him into his arms. "Don't be afraid. Just stay by my side, and no one will be able to hurt you."

[True End: Everyone loves you, but not everyone deserves to love you, except me.]

Theme: Strive to change your fate.
