I Became the Game Partner of a Brooding True Young Master

A gloomy, world-weary, universally disliked bottom x a fatherly, sociable workaholic top

Chang Xu, a corporate drone who worked himself to the bone, accidentally transmigrated into a reverse-harem novel where readers bet on the male leads. Unfortunately, he became a spoiled school bully, the fourth guy in the protagonist bottom's fan club, and the last in line among the supporting characters.

In the story, the frail fake young master Shi Ai, who coughed up blood whenever he got upset, was as beautiful as an immortal, and his natural fragrance attracted butterflies. His gentle, reserved childhood friend, the domineering and calculating celibate senior, and the incredibly talented, hot-tempered guy who dropped into his life were all willing to leap through hoops and lay down their lives for him.

According to the author's exaggerated description, the original owner fell in love with Shi Ai at first sight, then fell even harder the second time around. To win Shi Ai's favor, he kept picking on the gloomy real young master, Shi Xuan, who was also his classmate, and used truly despicable tactics.

Chang Xu hadn't been particularly interested in the novel. After reading a few pages, he flipped straight to the ending:

The sea wind slammed into his face. On the deck of the luxurious Spade K cruise ship, Shi Xuan kicked and broke every bone in Chang Xu's body without batting an eye, then grabbed his chin and laughed grimly. "This is what you deserve!"

As Shi Ai cried out in his frail voice, Chang Xu sank into the belly of a fish, leaving no body behind.

What the hell had he done to deserve that?!

Chang Xu was instantly covered in goosebumps. He was just about to find out what the unfortunate original owner had done when everything went black and he transmigrated!

At that moment, after staying up all night and dying, the original owner was having the time of his life playing a period-style mobile game called Ember Sky Red. He'd even acquired a gaming partner who would turn red and kill people at the slightest provocation.

The day his identity was exposed, Chang Xu was messaging Shi Xuan while casually fobbing off his buddies. "I've already got Shi Xuan wrapped around my finger. I'm just messing around. When Shi Ai gets back... Holy shit!"

A sudden kick slammed into his abdomen.

Bones cracked.

Before Chang Xu, who'd landed hard on his butt, could see who had done it, the culprit was already running away with a backpack slung over their shoulders.

Later, the celibate senior took Chang Xu's place at Shi Xuan's side;

The hot-tempered newcomer took Shi Xuan for drives in his sports car every day, just to coax a smile out of him;

His gentle childhood friend filled a whole garden with cool-toned roses for Shi Xuan and helped him reclaim the heart he'd thrown away;

The guy left behind: Sorry, do none of you have your own boyfriends?!
