I Became a Cannon-Fodder Husband to a Powerful Man

[Advance Preview: The Stray Puppy Has Clung to Me, also known as Hey, Where's My Washboard? Blurb below. ++ Blurb: A laid-back bottom who wants nothing but an easy life vs. a jealous top After working overtime for several days straight, overworked programmer Bai Xingqiao suddenly transmigrates into a book with a sharp pop. In the original story, Bai Xingqiao was a scheming, vicious minor character. He tricked Grandpa Xie into personally arranging a contract marriage between him and Xie Zixi, hoping to seize the Xie family's fortune. In the end, Xie Zixi sent him packing, and he met a miserable fate. When Bai Xingqiao transmigrates into the book, he's lying on Xie Zixi's bed wearing nothing but a loose white shirt. Xie Zixi walks in. Bai Xingqiao looks terrified. "If I say I came into the wrong room, will you believe me?" Xie Zixi looks murderous, barely restraining the urge to beat him up. "Get out!" Bai Xingqiao promptly runs off. "You got it." No work to do, plenty to eat and drink, and fifty million yuan waiting for him in a year: he'd never dreamed of landing such a life. So Bai Xingqiao happily settles into the easygoing life of a retiree. He knows the domineering CEO often stays out all night. He knows rumors about the CEO's love life are always circulating. Bai Xingqiao doesn't ask questions. He claps happily instead. "Wonderful!" Then he heads to the clubs to dance the night away. His greatest interest is shopping, and he does whatever makes him happy. He's completely embraced the life of a lazy fish. - Xie Zixi despises Bai Xingqiao. If it weren't for his grandfather, he would have thrown him out long ago. But now Bai Xingqiao seems like a completely different person. He no longer causes trouble or asks about Xie Zixi's affairs. Bai Xingqiao even makes soup for him and cooks for him, and he's a surprisingly good cook. Xie Zixi once again makes their boundaries clear. "Bai Xingqiao, don't imagine I'll ever fall for you. In a year, get out of the Xie family." Bai Xingqiao: "Sure. It's a deal." Later... Bai Xingqiao accidentally drinks some spiked liquor and is about to look for help when Xie Zixi pins him against the wall. "Bai Xingqiao, can't you see me?" Bai Xingqiao: "???" Doesn't he hate me? The next morning, Bai Xingqiao clutches his sore lower back and grits his teeth. "Damn, what is this, a stallion's waist?" After that, Bai Xingqiao notices that Xie Zixi looks at him more and more strangely. Whenever he goes out to have fun, he always runs into Xie Zixi. At a banquet, a handsome man invites Bai Xingqiao for a drink. Xie Zixi steps in and punches the man to the ground. "Stay away from my wife!" Bai Xingqiao: "Who's your wife?" Xie Zixi successfully takes over as head of the family. Bai Xingqiao cheerfully prepares to take his fifty million and enjoy the good life. I'm off. Bye-bye! But Xie Zixi lifts him up and pins him against the door, squeezing his chin. "Bai Xingqiao, for fifty million, you're giving up on me, who's worth five trillion?" "Bai Xingqiao, you aren't allowed to smile at anyone else or talk to anyone else." Waaah, what should I do about a husband who's so jealous? Xie Zixi: "How am I jealous?" Bai Xingqiao: "Hey, could you let go of my mouth first?" P.S. They have only ever been with each other.
