I Started Slacking Off After Becoming a Caged Canary

[Blurb provisionally dated 2023.5.2]

Wu You transmigrated into a book. Although this world looked so familiar, and so did all the people in it, the System said it was a tragic romance, so it definitely wasn't his world.

Everyone in A City knew that Wen Xia loved him desperately. How could Wen Xia possibly treat him badly? More importantly, in the book, he was the bottom! Wu You was sure this tragic romance had to be a fanfic written by one of his rivals in love.

Still, Wu You agreed to stay. After all, Wen Xia was already dead, and it would be nice to stay and see a counterfeit. Sob.

The stand-in not only eased his longing, but even offered to keep him. Sob, he was going to cry.

President Wen had been feeling like something strange was going on lately. For no apparent reason, he had asked the student he had been sponsoring to become his kept lover. Looking at the student's expression, which seemed to say, "I can't believe you're actually a beast in nice clothes," President Wen said, "I'm not! I didn't!"

But he couldn't control himself. After the contract was signed, President Wen could finally speak. Feeling guilty, he told the other person that they didn't need to do anything for him, and that they only had to meet once a week.

For some reason, the other person didn't seem happy at all. Instead, his eyes welled with tears. President Wen assumed he was moved.

Later, when a friend found out, he asked whether Wen was treating the other person as a stand-in and whose shadow he was trying to find in him.

Wen Xia: "..."

I'm the worst!

Later, President Wen discovered that he was the stand-in.

He stormed off to confront the other man, only to find a handsome guy making a big show of fawning over him. He furiously shoved the guy aside.

"Who are you?"

The handsome guy, pushed aside roughly, glared at the culprit and demanded an explanation.

Wen Xia looked furious and turned to Wu You. "Tell him, what are we to each other?"

Wu You hesitated, then ventured, "...Employer and employee?"

Wen Xia: "..."

I'm my own stand-in / bottom who wins himself over

[Things that may be a dealbreaker]

1. The overall tone is sweet and fluffy. They have feelings for each other, but the bottom has amnesia. The bottom dotes on the top, and his feelings are stronger.

2. The top is a bratty little drama queen, naturally flirtatious and unintentionally a bit of a jerk.

3. The top's original body was not chaste, but in his new body, both the top and bottom are chaste.

4. One-on-one romance. Both the top and bottom have plenty of one-sided admirers, but the bottom gives no one a chance, so there are no misunderstandings. Before the couple makes their relationship official, readers online ship various pairings.

P.S. The previous version didn't pass, so I changed it.
