Could You Protagonists Act Like Decent People?!

[Cool on the outside, warm on the inside, snarky bottom x normal-person powerhouse top]

There's always a supporting male character like this in melodramatic novels.

They're the protagonist's best friend, responsible for taking him home when he goes crazy, paying his bills, covering his shifts, and even telling the female lead the things he can't bring himself to say.

Yuan Chaoci was exactly that kind of supporting character.

Everything had been perfectly normal. Being friends with the protagonists was fine, too. The biggest problem was... this was a whole series.

Yuan Chaoci got up at six every single morning and worked at least eighteen hours a day. Specifically, he spent all that time cleaning up after each of his "good brothers."

In the morning, he told the hapless female lead of a domineering CEO novel that the male lead had lost his memory after a car accident, and, what a coincidence, you were the only person he'd forgotten.

At noon, he revealed the family secret of the wealthy heir in another novel. Well, turns out you're the fake heir yourself.

In the afternoon, he attended a gathering and watched the leads of a runaway-with-the-baby novel confront each other. No way, no way, this kid who looks exactly like the male lead can't possibly be yours!

In the evening, he accompanied a male lead from a groveling-ex-wife novel as he drank himself silly, rolled his eyes while offering advice, then shamelessly called the female lead after taking him home.

At midnight, exhausted as a dog, he still had to maintain his playboy rich-kid persona by hitting the bars and clubs.

Even when he went abroad for a vacation, he ran into the leads of an entertainment-industry novel filming a variety show there.

Yuan Chaoci: Thanks for asking. Being a rich playboy is great, but I'd like to declare bankruptcy.

Could you protagonists please act like decent human beings?

Ying Baidi came from a prominent family. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he had both an iron fist and exceptional manners. He was a true child of heaven.

One day, with nothing better to do, he was recommended a melodramatic novel series by an underclassman.

His first thought after finishing it was: These male leads are all crazy.

His second thought was: Yuan Chaoci, the supporting character the author keeps reusing because they can't think of any new names, has it so rough!

He never expected that the very next day, he would find himself transported into the world of that series.

After realizing that even the young couple arguing by the roadside were spouting Qiong Yao-style dialogue, he had just one thought: He had to find Yuan Chaoci.

After painstakingly building a business from scratch, he finally rose from an anonymous nobody to one of Q City's rising elite. He stood before Yuan Chaoci, only to be handed a questionnaire.

Question one: Does your father have an illegitimate child?

Ying Baidi: ...

Question two: Is it possible that the girl you like is actually your biological sister?

Ying Baidi: …

Question three: Do you happen to have an unattainable first love, and then find a substitute for her?

Ying Baidi: …

Ying Baidi filled in "no" for every option and let out a long sigh.

A thousand words boiled down to one sentence: Could you protagonists please act like decent human beings?

[Reading Guide]

- A story about two normal people who understand and appreciate each other. One-on-one romance, silly comedy at first, then lots of sweetness.

- It's a silly comedy, so just have fun with it. The leads don't meet right away. After all, it takes time for normal people to make their way in a world where everyone's brain is broken. Life is, well, not that easy.
