[Complete. Revisions are only to fix typos. Upcoming stories: Help, I Transmigrated into a Sickly Beauty with Obsessive Tendencies and The One Everyone Hates Wants to Take It All Back [Reborn]. Please add them to your collections! Blurbs below.] [Blurb] Only after Ye Jing was reborn did he learn that he had been the foil to the sweet and adorable protagonist in an entertainment-industry power fantasy.

As the foil, he was vicious and domineering, looking down on everyone. He debuted to a wave of online hate and eventually fell to his death from a cliff.

His fiance was an even more ruthless, gloomy villain. After Ye Jing died, he spent every day making life difficult for the protagonist and ended up bankrupt, disabled in both legs, and doomed to a miserable life.

After waking up again, Ye Jing decided he wouldn't be anyone's foil. He'd take the protagonist's path instead!

W-well, he could start by acting sweet and obedient!

For Young Master Ye, acting sweet should be a piece of cake... except it wasn't.

Damn it, how was he supposed to act sweet?

On the show, the infamous nobody, who supposedly talked back to everyone and looked down on them all, puffed out his cheeks at the contestant beside him.

"Do you think this is cute?"

Netizens: Aaaaaah! No letting cool guys act cute!

Young Master Ye was frustrated. He was a master at acting cool, but acting sweet???

He decided to become a studious person and learn this skill from the "protagonist."

During the mentors' lesson, An Kexing asked a teacher for advice while Ye Jing watched intently from behind.

Contestant A: "Ye Jing, do you want to ask the mentor a question too?"

Ye Jing: "No, I want to learn how to act... I mean, how to become sweet and obedient."

Netizens: ???

Just as everyone thought Ye Jing was a super cool guy who desperately wanted people to think he was sweet and obedient, a paparazzi video sent shock waves across the internet:

The young man was glassy-eyed with drink. His dewy eyes were fixed on the person in front of him, his cheeks flushed pink. He clutched the other's sleeve and followed along step by step, perfectly obedient.

Netizens: Who is this?!

When it came to his fiance, Ye Jing didn't dare to pretend to be sweet. He was genuinely sweet.

After getting drunk at a little get-together with friends and thinking back on his past life, he was overcome with guilt. His dewy eyes looked anxiously at his fiance as he tugged on his sleeve and apologized. "Lu Ting, I was wrong."

What else could Lu Ting do?

He could only lead the little drunk home, let him cling to his sleeve, and ask gently, "You were wrong. How should I punish you?"

Upcoming story 1: Help, I Transmigrated into a Sickly Beauty with Obsessive Tendencies

Lu Zhou transmigrated into a power-fantasy novel and became the obsessive villain who loved the protagonist but couldn't have him, harassed him again and again, and wanted to destroy him if he couldn't possess him.

The villain met a miserable end. Once the protagonist rose to power, he could no longer control him, and the protagonist killed him instead.

Lu Zhou: Help...

Facing the protagonist, whom he'd tied to a chair, with tightly pressed lips, eyes blazing with fury, and clothes in tatters, Lu Zhou came up with an idea.

He picked up some fruit and put on a kindly expression. "You look like you've lost a lot of weight lately. Your clothes are practically... bursting at the seams. Let me feed you some fruit!"

The protagonist turned his head away. "I'm not eating durian!"

Lu Zhou: "Oh, it's delicious."

After that, Lu Zhou decided to hand the company over to the protagonist and enjoy being a carefree slacker at home, trying to get healthy and live to a ripe old age. But he never expected the protagonist to keep finding excuses to drag him into things.

"President Lu, President Qin says he doesn't know how to handle this document, so he wants you to come to the office and teach him."

"President Lu, President Qin says he's scared of all the people at tonight's banquet and wants you to go with him."

"President Lu..."

Lu Zhou: What does he actually want?

Qin Yu never expected to be reborn back at the very beginning, when Lu Zhou was tormenting him. He had planned to act swiftly and decisively: make Lu Zhou go bankrupt, take everything from him, and let him find out what it was like to be a prisoner!

But he never expected Lu Zhou to seem like a completely different person.

He handed over the entire company to Qin Yu, then left him alone and didn't interfere?

He stopped restricting Qin Yu's movements and didn't care who he associated with outside?

He was even looking for other men online?

One day, Lu Zhou came home, and Qin Yu grabbed him and dragged him into the same little dark room as before, then shut the door.

"W-what are you doing?" Lu Zhou cried in alarm.

Qin Yu's gaze burned. "Didn't you love only me, with such a strong possessive streak that you'd tie me up rather than let me go?"

"I-I've closed my heart to love." Lu Zhou felt guilty.

Qin Yu pinned him against the wall, gripped both his hands, and stared at him with bloodshot eyes. "You are not allowed to."

Upcoming story 2: The One Everyone Hates Wants to Take It All Back [Reborn]

Jiang Yun had never understood why his parents and relatives favored an adopted son they'd picked up over him.

Until the moment he died, he finally understood.

This man wasn't an adopted son at all. He was the child his philandering father had with his stepmother behind his biological mother's back. Even the older brother Jiang Yun had thought was his own was their "offspring of love."

They believed that from childhood onward, their precious darling had been deprived of the young master's place by Jiang Yun, the "burden from his father's first marriage." So they had used every means possible to control him from the time he was little, turning him into a dog of the Jiang family, a dog they could summon and dismiss whenever they pleased.

In his next life, he returned to the day he had scored fifty points higher than the "adopted son" on an exam, and his "mother" had driven him out into the storm to kneel and repent.

"Jiang Yun, why can't you learn to let your little brother have his way?"

"You scored fifty points more than him. How is he supposed to hold his head up in class?"

"I'm so disappointed in you."

He stood in the rain, watching the family of four live together in the villa that belonged to his biological mother.

"Enjoy these days while you can, because they won't last!"

Then a black business car stopped beside him, soaked through. A hand with distinct knuckles reached out from inside. "Will you come with me?"
