It isn't until the fifth year after Meng Xihuai transmigrates into a book that he remembers he was originally just a background character, the male lead in a danmei novel with a bottom protagonist.
He is the bottom protagonist's invincible backup, with only a few pages of lines, quietly giving everything he has.
And the bottom protagonist returns almost none of his feelings.
He decides he's done.
Now he's rich, with more than a dozen planets under his name and abundant resources.
Wouldn't it be better to just live a comfortable life?
Just as he's busy traveling and farming on all the little planets, the System wakes up.
"Oh my god, Host, why didn't you follow the plot? This is terrible!"
Meng Xihuai: "What's so terrible?"
System: "If the bottom protagonist doesn't become the ruler of the galaxy, what's the point of this book even existing?!"
Meng Xihuai: "Then what do we do?"
System: "Go help the bottom protagonist become the ruler of the galaxy!"
Meng: "..."
System: "Think about the giant strawberries you're growing!"
Meng: Tearfully plays the devoted admirer, but is actually a savior.
The path to saving the world is full of obstacles, and things grow more and more unlike the book's original story. The plot goes completely off the rails.
In the end, Meng Xihuai lies on the big villain's plump thigh, enjoying strawberries being fed to him.
Suddenly, he remembers a question. "Darling, why did you keep chasing after me back then?"
The villain lowers his eyes. "Because I needed some emergency cough syrup."
Meng Xihuai: ???
The villain: "Do you remember the stray dog you once raised?"
Meng Xihuai is shocked: Gou Dan!
The villain: Woof!

2. Both are each other's only partner, happy ending
3. The bottom pursues and spoils the top, but he's a bit neurotic and sometimes messes things up
4. The top is carefree and a precious little darling
