One
Xue Ling is a villainous cannon-fodder character in the book Demonic Hauntings. Arrogant and vicious, he uses his status as the fake young master to bully the book's true young master, the protagonist shou. He even forces the protagonist shou to kneel in front of the servants and put his boots on for him.
Now Xue Ling has transmigrated into the book and has to play this role.
He has to be cruel, to throw his weight around.
He widens his eyes and says fiercely to the protagonist shou, "K-kneel down and put my boots on!"
The protagonist shou looks up at him, his gaze fixed on that snow-white face, smooth as carved jade. A shimmer of tears ripples in his eyes.
It's not very intimidating. It's more like he's beautiful.
The protagonist shou's eyes gradually turn bloodred. He looks at the bare feet dangling before him, as if he were holding a butterfly's tender wings and meant to crush them in his hands.
Two
After his identity as the fake young master is exposed, Xue Ling is kicked out of the house with nowhere to go.
Everyone lusting after his beauty sets their sights on him now that he's alone, scaring him so badly that he hardly dares leave the house.
To make matters worse, his house is haunted, and a ghost pins him down in his sleep every night.
The protagonist shou puts their grudge behind them, drives away the people who covet Xue Ling, and visits him to offer comfort. Listening to the supposedly wicked cannon-fodder tremble in his lap and sob that someone touches him at night...
"Don't be afraid," the protagonist shou says soothingly. "I'll stay with you."
Where no one can see, he slowly runs the tip of his tongue over his lips, as red as a banquet in his thoughts.
"Tell me," he murmurs. "Where did they touch you?"
Three
Demonic Hauntings is unfinished, and an important clue has yet to be revealed.
The System doesn't know. Xue Ling doesn't know either.
The protagonist shou isn't human.

Xue Ling: I'm supposed to be the villain! The villain... villains aren't allowed to cuddle!

Warnings:
(1) The protagonist is a classic delicate, soft, useless, silly beauty. He's a coward who cries when scared and believes anything if you comfort him.
(2) Modern paranormal setting.
(3) The protagonist unknowingly flirts and has mild harem-protagonist traits.
I'm planning to write this one next! Please add it to your collection, please, please!
