When I Became the Bottom in an Angsty Romance Novel

[Cool but pure-hearted gong x Flirtatious, flirtatious seduction-type shou] Xu Yi woke up in a novel he’d read the night before. The novel was a greatest-hits collection of melodramatic tropes: the stand-in for someone’s white moonlight, the groveling chase after a lost love, amnesia after a car accident, and more. The shou lead shared Xu Yi’s name, and had been treated like a stand-in by the scummy gong, Qin Xiting, then put through emotional and physical torment. Xu Yi: To hell with that! He carefully recalled the plot, then suddenly came up with the perfect plan. - Everyone in Qin Xiting’s circle knew he kept a “little plaything” by his side. The “little plaything” was named Xu Yi, and looked about seventy percent like Qin Xiting’s unattainable white moonlight. Qin Xiting doted on him and treated him well, but only because of his face. But to everyone’s astonishment, at the celebration for Qin Xiting’s grandfather’s eighty-eighth birthday, Xu Yi gazed at Qin Xiting...’s older brother, Qin Xu, with unmistakable affection, right in front of the whole crowd. As everyone knew, the brothers didn’t get along, and Qin Xiting’s white moonlight was in love with Qin Xu. Onlookers: Ooh~~ Xu Yi walked over to Qin Xu and asked nervously, “Mr. Qin, do you still remember me?” Qin Xu glanced at him and said coolly, “No.” Xu Yi lowered his head in embarrassment. “...I’m sorry for bothering you.” His restrained, lovesick expression made him look just like someone whose love would never be returned. Onlookers: How thrilling! That night, a message spread like wildfire throughout their circle: Qin Xiting’s obedient “little plaything” was actually in love with his older brother. The one who kept someone as a stand-in had become a stand-in himself!!! Overnight, Qin Xiting became a laughingstock in his circle. Theme: Live earnestly and stay positive
