Transmigrated into the Prince's Cannon-Fodder Husband

Ji Yan transmigrated into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder husband with the same name as him in a novel about two men.

In the book, Ji Yan loved the male lead, Prince Li, and went to great lengths to marry him. He also made life difficult for the male lead's love interest at every turn, ultimately becoming a stepping stone in their relationship and dying far from home.

After Ji Yan transmigrated into the book...

The first time he met the male lead,

Ji Yan looked around at his unfamiliar surroundings and asked with a frown, "Who are you? Where am I?"

Cen Jiu did not answer. He looked at him and said softly, "Ji Yan, have you had enough?"

The second time they met,

Cen Jiu said coldly, "Ji Yan, stop doing pointless things." Then he left.

The third time they met,

The Ji Yan in the book had become infamous throughout the city for being suicidal and jealous. When the emperor heard about it, he summoned Prince Li and his consort.

In the throne room,

The emperor spoke in a deep voice. "Since Prince Li's consort is so ignorant of proper conduct, he should go to the Academy of Male Virtue and learn the rules properly. What do you think, Prince Li?"

Cen Jiu: "I will abide by Father Emperor's decision."

Ji Yan: "...?"

On the way,

Ji Yan asked, "What kind of place is the Academy of Male Virtue?"

Cen Jiu replied indifferently, "A place that teaches men morals and virtue, and how to be a good wife or concubine."

Ji Yan gritted his teeth. "You want me to learn how to serve a man?! No way!"

Cen Jiu: "An imperial decree cannot be disobeyed."

"..."

Ji Yan: Divorce!

Later,

One night in Prince Li's bedchamber,

Ji Yan's hoarse voice came in broken gasps. "...Cen Jiu, you bastard..."

Cen Jiu coaxed him gently. "All right, I'm a bastard."

After Cen Jiu ascended the throne,

Ji Yan was idly leaning over the railing of a bridge by the lake, feeding the fish, when a pair of arms wrapped around his waist from behind. Cen Jiu rested his chin on Ji Yan's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Yanyan."

Ji Yan replied absentmindedly, "Hm?"

Cen Jiu: "Isn't it time you gave me a title?"

Ji Yan: "What?"

Cen Jiu: "The empress's seat is still vacant."

Ji Yan: "..."

A spoiled rich playboy on the receiving end x a composed, proper young gentleman on the pursuing end

The Ji Yan in the book is the real Ji Yan. This will be explained later~
