A Dating Game with the Villain

[Please add my upcoming novel, When a Straight-Laced Straight Man Becomes a BL Protagonist, to your collection! The blurb is at the bottom.] Please don't leave comments about pirated copies. They're not welcome. Shen Yan awakens and discovers that he's merely the scum gong's white moonlight in a melodramatic novel. The white moonlight dies young. After his death, the scum gong is so heartbroken that he finds a replacement, setting off a melodramatic tale of a scum gong and a masochistic shou, with one running away as the other chases after him. As for Shen Yan, he doesn't even count as an NPC. He only exists in the background, a tool brought out whenever the story needs to provoke the shou. Shen Yan nearly spits blood. What kind of novel character awakens only to face an early death? If fate says I have to die, then I refuse to die! - In the story, the white moonlight refuses to trade sexual favors, so someone drugs and abuses him. In the end, he takes his own life. By sheer coincidence, Shen Yan awakens a month before refusing to trade sexual favors, at the moment when Qi Sheng, the future big villain, tries to humiliate him with money. Having seen the plot, Shen Yan already knows that Qi Sheng is actually the heir to the Qi Group. He's only dabbling in the entertainment industry before going home to inherit the family business, after which he'll become the big villain who keeps sabotaging the scum gong and masochistic shou's relationship. So when Qi Sheng walks closer, slaps a bank card against his face, and says, "Shen Yan, don't you want money? As long as you do what I say..." Shen Yan, who should have sneered and refused, suddenly smiles and turns his head, biting down on the bank card. His cool face looks both icy and alluring as he says, "Sure, I'll do as you say." "...do as I say." Qi Sheng's unfinished words catch in his throat. Shen Yan (smiling): I'll play you like a dog. - Later on, Shen Yan's career takes off without a hitch, and he becomes a top-tier star. Countless people chase after him, calling him their wife or husband, and he's adored by throngs of fans. Qi Sheng grits his teeth like a vicious dog straining to break free. His dark thoughts surge beyond his control. He's already decided where to lock Shen Yan away and how to punish him when... Shen Yan walks over, holding Qi Sheng's tie. He smiles and asks, "What are you thinking about?" He loops the tie around Qi Sheng's neck and gives it a gentle tug. Looking into those wild, untamed eyes, he rises up and kisses Qi Sheng on the lips. His breath is like honey laced with poison, irresistibly sweet: "As long as you behave..." "...I'm yours." And so, The vicious dog lowers his head and disguises himself as a docile pet. Under the hands of a skilled animal trainer, he gets collared and chained against his will, venting his frustration only by scraping at the ground with his paws. Only sometimes... His vicious nature slips out. He bares his sharp fangs and claws at anyone who dares look his way, warning them never to covet what isn't theirs. - Wen Yizhu has been reborn. After being tortured by the scum gong until they were both barely alive, the two of them achieved a double-death happy ending. In this new life, he's tired. He won't be anyone's replacement again. He'll live openly under his own name, Wen Yizhu, escape the scum gong's clutches, and never see him again. The first thing he needs to do is find the white moonlight and beg him not to die. But... When Wen Yizhu finally meets Shen Yan, Shen Yan is not only doing just fine, he's also splashing red wine in the face of the scum gong, who wears an adoring expression. His eyes full of fury, Shen Yan snaps, "Get lost, and stop looking at me like that." Wen Yizhu (starry-eyed): He's... kind of handsome. After Shen Yan survives, Wen Yizhu thinks all his nightmares are over. But the scum gong still wants Shen Yan, and now he wants Wen Yizhu, too. Just as Wen Yizhu thinks an even more horrifying nightmare than his last life is about to begin, Shen Yan appears. He slaps the scum gong across the face and ruins his company, then sneers like a victor. Sorry, I'm taking your wife, and your fortune, too. -I'm a vicious dog, but I only bow my head to you- A cool, breathtaking beauty with an irresistible, natural flirtation, shou x a possessive, vicious wolfdog gong Written as a writing exercise and to get back into the swing of things.
