Xie Yun played the disposable extra between the main characters. One day, he suddenly came to his senses and was reborn into the worlds he had once experienced.
So this is what the daily life in every angst novel looked like.
[The Corporate Spy Kept as a Caged Canary]
To bring down the Yue family, Secretary Xie pretended to be the CEO's long-lost love and deceived him. He was locked in the attic and made to serve as her replacement. As he went through the daily back-and-forth with the domineering CEO, he slowly developed Stockholm syndrome and depression.
The CEO never found out about his illness before he died, and was consumed with regret. It was his true love who warmed Xie's wounded heart with her love.
Xie Yun: Ha.
Xie Yun diligently played the disposable extra, collecting double paychecks every month and dutifully going along with the CEO's love-hate relationship with him.
But the plot took one wild turn after another. The male lead clung to him every day, and the CEO seemed to have developed a condition where he would die if he couldn't see Xie Yun. To keep the plot moving, Xie Yun betrayed him without mercy.
Xie Yun, waiting for his betrayal to be exposed: Peacefully closes eyes and awaits death.jpg
But the original company had already gone bankrupt, Xie Yun was almost cured of his depression, and the plot involving physical and emotional torment still hadn't happened.
At his wit's end, Xie Yun shouted, "Yue Huai, get a grip! I'm a traitor, a traitor!"
Yue Huai: "Got it."
With a bang, the door shut tight. A moment later, Xie Yun's voice rang out as he was punished until he begged for mercy.
[The Sickly Minister and the Unruly Great General]
Xie Yun is the Crown Prince's tutor, a minister who spits blood every few steps at court. After devoting half his life to serving the royal family, he is entrusted with the Crown Prince on the Emperor's deathbed. Xie Yun uses ruthless methods to eliminate the Regent's supporters and secretly arranges the assassination of the Prince of Zhenbei, only for the Prince of Zhenbei to return victorious!
The Crown Prince bursts into tears when he sees his uncle, the Prince of Zhenbei, and tries to kill Xie Yun.
Xie Yun: Pah!
Wrongfully accused, Xie Yun loses heart and leaves the court where he had devoted half his life to serving.
Everyone's attention is fixed on the new Emperor. No one knows that Xie Yun, imprisoned in the dungeons, has been poisoned with a rare toxin.
That night, the entire prison falls silent with fear.
The next day, Xie Yun appears at the Prince of Zhenbei's residence, his clothes in disarray.
Without Xie Yun, the new Emperor can barely get anything done, but Xie Yun dies before his eyes.
He longs for Xie Yun, yet sees him held around the waist by his uncle, being pressed tenderly and forcefully into a swaying sedan chair.
Only one hand, white as paper, hangs limp over the deep red curtain.
"Teacher?"
Inside the curtain, the Prince of Zhenbei raises his unruly brows and says with a half-smile, "Why call him teacher? Call him Little Aunt."
The new Emperor: !!!
The following blurb has been shortened:
[The Empire's Ruthless and Stunning Commander

Everyone Who Wanted to Kill Him Starts Acting Strange]
Reader advisory: Extremely melodramatic from start to finish.
One body, one partner; a harem of one-sided crushes.
Split-piece gong (the gong is the main god System).
Coming soon: Falling in Love with a Straight Man on Set
Third-rate actor Zhuo Wenqing is surrounded by scandals and has no work, though his face is stunningly beautiful.
A director comes to him with a script about gay men, and he takes the job just to survive.
Who knew he would play the bottom, and that the very first scene would be a sex scene?
Zhuo Wenqing waves his hands frantically, his face red as a monkey's bottom, or like a fluffy peach selling for 9.9 yuan per jin with free shipping.
"Director, I'm straight. I don't really know how to act in this kind of scene... I'm sorry, I'll leave right now and won't waste your time..."
The director grabs him. "No, no, Xiao Zhuo, that expression is perfect for our romance between two male leads. We've already found your costar, top-tier star Jiang Dailan! It's his transition project! You're bound to become famous! How could you turn it down?" Then he changes tack: "I spend over a hundred thousand a day on production. Whether you want to or not, you're doing this!"
Zhuo Wenqing is at a loss. He doesn't dare defy the director, so he can only tuck his hands into his sleeves and sit there looking meek and timid.
The director is especially pleased with how timid and gentle he looks. Perfect, absolutely perfect.
But an hour into filming, Jiang Dailan finally arrives. He plunks himself down on the sofa, glances up at Zhuo Wenqing, and sneers, "Him?"
Zhuo Wenqing turns even redder. He presses his lips together and tries to get up and leave, but doesn't dare. He gets up and sits back down, fidgeting for a while, his pale, slender fingers gripping the rough edge of a wooden stool. His long legs, wrapped in faded blue jeans, press tightly together. Blushing, he looks around, as if tears might spill from his eyes at any moment.
Jiang Dailan thinks, What kind of person is this? A wimp, so effeminate. How could he act well?
But the longer Jiang Dailan looks at him, the drier his throat gets, as if it's on fire.
The shrewd director knows there's a chance this will work. He casually pulls Jiang Dailan aside and whispers, "Don't be fooled by how girly he seems. He was first in his acting class at the Shanghai Theatre Academy! If he hadn't been caught up in all those scandals about casting couches, he'd have been famous by now. You turned down all my other choices, so I've already arranged a variety show about romance and interviews for later. Don't worry about the script, you can change anything you want. How about this one? If not, we'll keep looking!"
Zhuo Wenqing looks up unexpectedly, his eyes shimmering with moisture and his lips slightly parted, his face full of surprise.
The old shadow-puppet painting hanging on the wooden wall behind him seems to come alive. There he sits, a pure and beautiful young man caught in hazy, suggestive light.
That image is frozen in time: the scorching summer Jiang Dailan could never forget.
Even years later, whenever Jiang Dailan thinks of his Wenqing, he remembers the afternoon his heart pounded wildly.
At the time, he had said with utter disdain:
"No need to look any further. I'll take him." Jiang Dailan takes off his clothes and says succinctly, "Let's shoot."
