My Wife Turns Me Into a Grinning Fool Every Day

(Complete) [Soft, sweet, cheerful sunshine bottom x A possessive top who spoils his wife to the heavens in private, but is an untouchable, aloof beauty to everyone else]

A little mermaid transmigrates into a book as a green-tea side character who loves the male lead and is destined to push the main couple together. Before long, he will join a talent show, get viciously attacked by the entire internet, and become a stepping stone to the original bottom's success, ending up as a miserable pariah whom everyone scorns.

To save himself from that fate, Zhan Yunyin seeks the only way out: to form a necessary connection with the powerful villain, the one person who clashes with the protagonists and never loses.

He has a script for shining on his own, and he snatches the protagonists' halos for himself. Most importantly, rumor has it the villain is impotent!

That would keep him safe, body and soul.

But meeting the big shot is a major problem. The little mermaid puts on a devoted persona, telling everyone he meets, "I'm deeply in love with him." He spends ages trying to ride the coattails of the villain's company, Deepwater Entertainment, and gets chased by the villain's fans, who call him a clout-chasing parasite.

The more the little mermaid lies, the more he gives his heart to the villain.

His feelings are genuine. He feels for the villain and all he has been through.

The little mermaid snaps back, "Fine, call me a clout-chasing parasite! I've chosen him for life! I just like him."

Again and again, the powerful man behind the scenes watches the young actor love him so deeply that his heart burns. So this is what love at first sight feels like.

Fine, then. He agrees.

That very day, the powerful man behind the scenes brings his agent along to discuss making their relationship public.

The little mermaid is dumbfounded. "D-Did I take this too far?"

There's a new fanatical little admirer in the industry, and actor Si Yi gets no end of teasing from his friends.

Friend: "Hey, hey, this kid is devoted and gorgeous."

Si Yi: "Mm."

Friend: "That's all you have to say? You're the award-winning actor Si Yi, and you never have a single dating rumor. What do you think of this kid?"

Si Yi replies: "Pretty cute. I like him."

Si Yi: "(●v●)"

...Buddy, if your account got hacked, don't use Si Yi's account to scare us like that.

Zhan Yunyin keeps flirting, and somehow manages to win the big shot's heart. The social media platform crashes after they make their relationship public, and the little nobody who was constantly insulted becomes a place people visit to pray for good luck.

[Where should I kneel and pray so my idol will look at me?]

[Are you offering a class? I'll listen on my knees.]

[This has to be fake. I don't believe it! The nobody must be dreaming. Have some shame, making this up!]

Beneath that comment, Si Yi replies in person: [Stop insulting him. You'll make him cry, and then I'll have to comfort him.]

For every nasty comment, Si Yi pretends that it has wounded his heart, and won't be reassured until he gets a kiss.

Pointing at the comment section, now full of prayers and wishes for good luck, Zhan Yunyin pouts. "They've stopped insulting you. You don't have to kiss me anymore. My lips are swollen."

What he means is that he's had enough. One more kiss and his lips will split.

Stop kissing me already! Si Yi's eyes really look like he's going to devour him.

But Si Yi thinks he's dissatisfied with the situation. He wraps an arm around the young man's waist and gives it a squeeze, his voice hoarse and suggestive. "If I don't kiss you, can I sleep with you instead? Should I comfort you in bed?"

Damn, wasn't he supposed to be cold and disinterested? This fake book has done real damage! Zhan Yunyin runs away in tears, yelling that Si Yi is a shameless old lecher, and Si Yi keeps him up all night.

Read before you begin:

1. A rebirth story. The original bottom and the present-day bottom are the same person.

2. The bottom isn't actually a mermaid. His memories became confused during the chaos of his rebirth. (Inspired by the idea of dreaming of a fish in the womb.)

3. You could call it a story about saving each other!

Theme: Don't give up when things get hard. A rainbow will appear!
