Love Coach in the Crematorium

[I’ve run out of inspiration and can’t keep writing. Abandoned. Don’t read.]

Xie Chao transmigrated into a book, specifically a contract-marriage-then-fall-in-love story.

The top was a refined, aloof, archetypal domineering CEO.

The bottom was gentle and understanding, the hottest rising star in the entertainment industry.

They were each other’s first love. Their sweet, drawn-out flirtation made readers bang their heads against the wall, then collapse on the spot.

But this was also a story about chasing your wife to the crematorium.

The bottom was self-conscious about his background, and felt an unspoken inferiority and self-doubt around the top. The top, meanwhile, was naturally emotionally detached and bad at expressing himself, so misunderstandings piled up until the story ended in tragedy.

The original story dragged out the heartbreak for 400,000 words, and Xie Chao was the direct cause of at least 150,000 of them.

That was what happened when his character was a carefree playboy who sought pleasure, not love, and didn’t believe in true love, as well as the top’s only friend.

As a vicious and stupid male supporting character, his duties included, but weren’t limited to:

Dragging the top out to drink and carouse,

Calling the top and casually asking when he was going to get bored of this contractual relationship,

Putting his scheming little lover, who wanted to have it both ways, in a house owned by the top and dumping him there for the top to look after,

He also constantly made things difficult for the bottom, humiliating him in public and forcing him to recognize his place, until the protagonist-bottom’s heart went completely cold and the top had no chance of winning him back.

Xie Chao, a pure-love warrior who’d been lured in by the early sweet romance and only liked sugary love stories: ...No way!!!

He could stay single, but his CP absolutely could not have a tragic ending!

As an expert relationship mentor who understood human nature, he would make sure there was no crematorium arc!

To turn the plot around, Xie Chao worked hard to bring the protagonist-top and protagonist-bottom together. He was determined to be the sturdy brick in their romance, ready to be carried wherever he was needed.

He got the top to invest in the production the bottom was working on, then casually let the bottom find out. He helped the bottom face-slap his scumbag father, resolve his emotional hang-ups, and gain confidence.

He invited the bottom to an auction, bought valuable antiques in the bottom’s name and gave them to the top, then acted envious in front of the top the next day. He gave the top a series of bestselling books, including How to Make Your Partner Feel Secure, and personally guided him through the reading.

What’s more, to avoid the original story’s key plot point, when the marriage contract came to light and harmed both their careers...

Xie Chao even fired the agent who would later steal the contract ahead of time. He worked hard to create a positive public image, enthusiastically supported fanworks, and built up the CP, determined to make the CEO × top-tier star pairing a household name in preparation for their eventual public debut.

Xie Chao had practically worn himself out making sure their romance was sweet.

Just as he thought everything was done, all the original plot flags had been perfectly avoided, and there was no way anything could go wrong, he happily prepared to live off the CP’s love...

The protagonist-top and protagonist-bottom confessed to him at the same time.

Xie Chao: (eyes shaking with shock)

[Reading Guide]

1. A lighthearted, sweet little story~ The CP is Qiu Yi × Xie Chao. The bottom is a silly, rich heiress.

2. Fictional setting where people with the same surname can marry. The original bottom becomes the top. His characterization: an ambitious, world-weary, lovesick black-lotus type who seems gentle and refined on the surface. At first, he hates the bottom, but has to act refined and courteous while pretending. Then he falls for the bottom. The top pursues the bottom.

Also, the original top and bottom had no romantic feelings for each other whatsoever. They purely used each other, and tore up the contract the same day they registered their marriage.

3. The entertainment industry isn’t the main setting, but it does come up.
