[Blurb]

Xian Sui transmigrates into a danmei novel set in the entertainment industry as a cannon-fodder villain. He stops at nothing to get ahead, trying to cozy up to the male lead, an award-winning actor. In the end, the actor exposes his scandals, ruining his reputation and leaving him with nothing.

Xian Sui: I'm done pursuing the actor. I'm just going to lie low.

-

The male lead, Gu Fanzhou, is famed in the entertainment industry for being an aloof, untouchable beauty. He's cool and hard to approach, and in all his years as an actor, he's never been involved in a single scandal. Netizens call him a total workaholic.

But Xian Sui happens to discover the text messages sent from the phone of this aloof beauty.

"I want your skin covered in my love bites."

"That hollow in your lower back is beautiful. I wonder what it would feel like to kiss it."

"The beauty mark at the corner of your eye is lovely."

Xian Sui freezes. So this is what being cool and aloof looks like?

He glances at the recipient. It's clearly his own phone number.

Xian Sui: "..." What a coincidence :)

-

Gu Fanzhou has spent years in the entertainment industry and seen plenty of beautiful faces, but no one has ever moved him.

Until he sees Xian Sui secretly crying in the bathroom, a teardrop-shaped beauty mark on the corner of his red-rimmed eye, his beauty so fragile it seems ready to shatter.

Suddenly, he wants to capture a pretty little rabbit so lovely it makes him tremble.

-

Xian Sui accidentally gets himself into trouble.

As he panics, Gu Fanzhou kisses his wrist, then slowly traces a finger across his cheek.

"Be my lover, and you'll be safe."

Xian Sui meets Gu Fanzhou's possessive gaze.

"Kiss me now, darling."

*Tips.

*Contract lovers, sex first and love later. Not suitable for readers with extreme preferences.

*The protagonist is transmigrated in body.

*The entertainment industry is fictional. The related details are all made up, with some filming thrown in.

*Neither character is perfect. Read with caution. As the blurb says, the love interest isn't a good person. He's a twisted, bad man.

*The logic is very, very, very shaky. If you have high standards, this story may not be for you.

*The protagonist has scenes where he cross-dresses.

[Coming Soon 1: "The Cannon Fodder Is Always Coveted by the Possessive Protagonist [Quick Transmigration]"]

Stories always have a certain type of cannon-fodder character who exists only to trip up the protagonist and move the plot forward.

Gui Wen binds himself to a System and begins playing a cannon-fodder role in each small world, completing missions to advance the protagonists' stories.

However, the protagonists who should have hated him find themselves becoming possessive because of him.

Um... Does the plot going off the rails still count as advancing it?

-

[World One: Gui Wen is a wicked adopted son obsessed with his older brother.]

His older brother, who isn't related to him by blood, is about to get engaged to the person he loves.

The night before the engagement, the adopted son deliberately tricks his brother's beloved into going abroad.

When his brother discovers the truth, he storms into the adopted son's room that very night and forcibly puts him in a wedding dress.

"There isn't a bride anymore. Will you take their place?"

"I've been waiting for you for so long, baby."

-

[World Two: Gui Wen is an online playboy who deceives the protagonist about his feelings.]

This is a story where the protagonist switches love interests.

The playboy meets the protagonist on a dating app and often sends him photos of himself dressed as a woman.

What the protagonist doesn't know is that the playboy sends those photos to more than just him.

After the truth comes out, the playboy blocks the protagonist, only to discover one day that a stranger is waiting downstairs from his apartment.

"I see you, darling."

"You can't get away this time."

-

[World Three: Gui Wen is a mad researcher who raises monsters.]

The protagonist is a tentacle monster raised by a researcher.

To achieve research results, the researcher recklessly uses all kinds of illicit drugs on the monsters in his lab.

He injects the tentacle monster with a certain drug and orders it to destroy a rival's research facility.

But the moment he opens the cage, tentacles coil around his ankle, waist, and even his neck.

"But I don't want to go there."

"Right now, I'd rather eat you."

[World Four...]

-

[Coming Soon 2: "I Can't Get Divorced After Marrying a Possessive Alpha"]

Qiu Wu transmigrates into the wealthy male lead Mu Yanchi's loveless arranged-marriage partner. After the wedding, the two live like strangers.

According to the original plot, Mu Yanchi will eventually divorce him and get together with the protagonist.

All he has to do is wait for the divorce and get a share of the family fortune?

Qiu Wu can hardly believe it. Could he really be so lucky?

-

Qiu Wu accidentally joins a group chat online. The members love gossiping about other people's relationships.

Seeing everyone chatting away, Qiu Wu can't resist joining in:

"I'm waiting to divorce my husband and get a share of his family fortune."

The group members are envious. Why can't something this good happen to me?

Before Qiu Wu can reply, someone suddenly rests a hand on his shoulder from behind. "Is that so?"

Qiu Wu meets Mu Yanchi's gaze. "..."

What's with that sinister look?

-

At a banquet, Qiu Wu sees Mu Yanchi alone in a room with the protagonist, who was accidentally drugged. Less than a minute later, Mu Yanchi walks out and tells someone to find a doctor.

Sitting in a corner, Qiu Wu opens the group chat. "I suspect my husband is impotent."

The group members respond enthusiastically. Someone suspects Qiu Wu's husband has an exceptionally high threshold and suggests he try this and that.

Qiu Wu: "? Don't you think that's going a bit far?"

His phone screen has barely gone dark when Mu Yanchi comes up behind him and whispers in his ear, "Is it too far? Why not try and find out?"

Qiu Wu: "..." How does he know what was in the group chat?

-

Following the original plot, Qiu Wu hands Mu Yanchi the divorce papers he's already signed.

But Mu Yanchi doesn't even look at them. Instead, he gently rubs Qiu Wu's lips with his thumb. "Do you really not want to see me that badly, darling?"

Qiu Wu: "..." Oh no. It looks like this divorce isn't happening.

Theme: Strive for a happy ending.
