The Sickly Beauty's Plan to Find a Husband [Book Transmigration]

[New novel coming soon: The Cannon-Fodder Male Supporting Character Is Reborn and Gets Close to His Nemesis]

Blurb:

Shi Qin accidentally transmigrates into a novel called The Geniuses Are Never Lonely, becoming the sickly childhood friend and cannon-fodder supporting character of the story's universally adored top, the kind who's hated by everyone and won't survive three chapters.

Shi Qin doesn't think this is a bad role to be handed. Instead, he seizes the opportunity to build himself the perfect spouse.

Husband-Making Plan, Step One:

Question:

How do you capture a man's heart?

Answer:

Make him worry about you.

When his stomach acts up, he tugs on the man's sleeve and gives it a weak little shake. "Big brother, it hurts. Rub it for me."

When he twists his ankle, he grabs the man's arm and whispers, "Big brother, carry me."

When he faints from low blood sugar during a run in PE class, Man Sheng carries him on his back, only to hear the little guy murmur weakly, "Big brother, I don't feel well."

Once he's made the man worry enough, it's time for step two.

Question:

How do you make a man like you?

Answer:

Use every resource available to stir up his protective instincts.

Everyone likes Man Sheng, the universally adored one. Shi Qin gets the opposite treatment: people hate him, envy him, and resent Man Sheng for the way he treats him.

And Shi Qin is always getting into trouble. One day he beats up a thug, the next he rescues someone, and each time he draws everyone's hostility.

Man Sheng's answer to that is: "Don't touch him!"

Step two is complete. That leaves only step three.

Wait for your prey to take the bait.

One day, Man Sheng finally can't hold back. He corners Shi Qin against a wall and kisses him without warning, not letting go until the pampered little thing in his arms is out of breath.

"Shi Xiaoruan, why are you always acting cute around me?"

Shi Qin lowers his head so Man Sheng can't see his expression, then turns toward the shadows and curls his lips into a smile.

The prey took the bait.

A troublemaking bottom who gets sick at the drop of a hat × a top who's constantly teased but stubbornly maintains his aloof image

One-on-one, happy ending

P.S.:

1. The bottom really does love getting into trouble. The top is a vain poser who pretends to be aloof.

2. Man Sheng is the top's younger cousin from my previous novel, but there won't be any crossover appearances.

3. The top is extremely doting. The bottom loves getting into trouble and is great at acting cute, with a bit of a conniving streak (but not much).

4. Same-sex relationships are legal in this setting.

The Cannon-Fodder Male Supporting Character Dies Tragically, Then Gets Close to His Nemesis

Jiang Sui is handsome and refined, with an outgoing personality and countless admirers at school.

But he's hopelessly stubborn, throwing himself headfirst into the back of a scumbag top until he's left battered and bruised.

When the scumbag tells him to go east, he never goes west. Whatever the scumbag asks him to do, he never argues.

After Jiang Sui dies, he finally realizes that in his whole life, he was nothing more than a pathetic cannon-fodder character who got a passing mention in a scumbag romance novel.

Luckily... he was reborn.

·

Reborn at seventeen, he's still the same bright, handsome boy, but now he also has a photographic memory.

Watching the scumbag top swagger around in front of him, Jiang Sui smirks. "Get lost!"

In this life, whoever wants to be a pathetic bottom can have the job.

He's going to stay away from the scumbag, study hard, and reach the top!

·

Unfortunately, his grades are terrible, so he'll need to find someone to tutor him.

Jiang Sui turns his gaze toward the top student in the entire school:

Qin Wang, an elite academic. A good family, a good background, and good looks.

A model student like him is the only one good enough to stand by Jiang Sui's side!

Except...

They're enemies.

Or rather, Jiang Sui is the only one who thinks so.

·

To end their feud and create a good study environment, Jiang Sui launches his campaign:

He brings Qin Wang breakfast in the morning,

flirts with him during class,

and waits for him after school so they can walk home together.

Every so often, he even begs with a whimper, "Can we stop being enemies and get close instead?"

At last, Qin Wang can't take it anymore. He pins Jiang Sui against a wall. "Have you been possessed? Didn't you used to find me unbearable?"

Jiang Sui lifts his face and smiles at Qin Wang.

"Yeah. How about you come out and push him aside?"

Qin Wang lets go and gives a cold laugh, dismissing the low-level flirtation.

But from then on, he unexpectedly gets used to Jiang Sui's presence.

He waits for him before school, between classes, and after school so they can go home together...

Until graduation, when the usually proud and romance-blind Qin Wang gives Jiang Sui a bouquet with a love letter tucked inside.

Jiang Sui, who has just received the country's number-one university's admission letter, raises his face at his leisure and toys with the letter, looking unconcerned. "You think of me as your boyfriend? I only think of you as my tutor."

Qin Wang's expression darkens. He stares silently at Jiang Sui with dangerous eyes, like a hunter watching his prey.

Unable to hold back after a moment, Jiang Sui smiles, lifts his face, and kisses the corner of Qin Wang's lips. "I'm teasing you. Come closer."

Hidden from view, the scumbag top from the original novel, now trapped in a pit and having failed his exams, grits his teeth in the shadows where the two can't see him, consumed by regret.

#A young heart's first flutter is a scorching dream in midsummer. You led me into the light, and I'll warm the rest of your life#

Content warnings:

1. The bottom has a golden finger: a photographic memory.

2. In his previous life, the bottom was involved with a scumbag top. After being reborn, he hasn't dated anyone.

Theme: You only regret not learning when you need knowledge; there's no such thing as knowing too much.
