The Beloved One Is Caught in the Rat Race

Qiu Bai never expected that, as a novel character, he would get the chance to be reborn, take revenge, and pursue the dream he'd had in his previous life, all by crushing the other beloved characters and becoming the most beloved of them all.

There was an oversupply of beloved characters, and Qiu Bai's competitors included, but weren't limited to:

a. Someone who seemed to be a fake young master, but was actually the baby in a runaway bride's pregnancy.

b. Someone who seemed to be a sweet, innocent beauty, but was actually in a tragic romance with an alpha whose package had 32 slices, and could even trigger a 100% groveling-to-win-back-your-love buff.

c. Someone who seemed to be straight, but was actually a mermaid who could even give birth!

Qiu Bai, meanwhile, started out as a universally disliked character from a family so poor they had nothing. There were only seven days left until the college entrance exam.

Qiu Bai thought that maybe whether he was reborn or not didn't matter all that much.

I don't care about being beloved, but I choose to cut off all romantic ties | High-IQ uke vs. the "perfect supporting character destined to die young" | ideal man seme

1. The uke is sincere toward everyone except the villains, with feelings that are either friendship or familial love. He simply has greater ideals, so he doesn't want to date at first.

2. Lighthearted, with some snark and jokes. The tropes mentioned in the blurb will appear, but the plot may vary. A chaotic mash-up of popular elements, including showbiz (not really).

3. Set in a fictional world, so please don't take it literally or overanalyze the details.

4. The blurb may be revised as of November 29, 2022. Please refer to the final text.

Theme: Hold fast to your ideals, and let technology benefit humanity
