Why Did the Male Lead Confess to Me? [Book Transmigration]

[Main Story Complete]

[Please add my upcoming novel, After Becoming the Protagonist of a Tragic Romance, I Mistook the Wrong Man for My Lover, to your collection!]

After going bankrupt overnight, Xu Zhaomian transmigrated into a novel about a male protagonist rising to power.

The good news: he became the wealthy young master of a rich family.

The bad news: he was a disposable character who would eventually be killed by the protagonist.

Xu Zhaomian: ...Damn.

If I can't afford to provoke him, surely I can at least stay out of his way.

But it turned out there was no escaping him at all: ...

All right, fine. So that's how you want to play it.

Xu Zhaomian decided to change his strategy: cling to the protagonist's coattails. Treat him well, take him in, help him drive away the vicious antagonist, and become one big, happy family!

From that day on, Lu Xuan was someone Xu Zhaomian would protect.

To make up for Lu Xuan's childhood trauma, Xu Zhaomian transformed the nursery into a bedroom for a child, slept beside him, and showered him with fatherly love.

Lu Xuan: ?

Xu Zhaomian gave him a shy smile. "I misspoke. I meant brotherly love."

Then he made sure Lu Xuan had the most unforgettable Christmas ever. Xu Zhaomian dressed up as Santa, climbed to the head of his bed to deliver presents, and made sure he got everything everyone else had!

Lu Xuan opened his eyes in the middle of the night: ...

Xu Zhaomian covered his eyes. "Be good. You didn't see anything."

Eventually, things developed to the point where Lu Xuan helped him get dressed, joined him for food and fun, fed him, and slept beside him.

Apart from Lu Xuan being a little clingy, Xu Zhaomian thought there was absolutely nothing wrong with their relationship.

Later, Lu Xuan rose to success and made a powerful return. When he reunited with Xu Zhaomian at a dazzling, dreamlike banquet, he was still as clingy as ever, just as he had been before.

So when Lu Xuan held him and even kissed him, Xu Zhaomian thought it felt a little strange, but still within acceptable limits. That was until the other man started doing things to him.

Xu Zhaomian realized something was wrong.

Clingy?

Could anyone really be this clingy?

They were practically glued together!

Upcoming novel preview:

Jiang Xian transmigrated into a melodramatic novel as the protagonist's lover. Relying on the protagonist's affection, he did whatever he pleased, causing trouble at every turn, until he finally drove the protagonist's feelings away. He regretted it, and after an endless cycle of tormenting each other that put the readers through the wringer, the protagonist finally died.

Jiang Xian, who had been single since birth: ...

Afterward, Jiang Xian realized that the protagonist was actually pretty pitiful. He'd finally found true love, only to die.

If the protagonist's lover hadn't caused trouble, wouldn't this have been a perfectly sweet romance?

Given another chance, Jiang Xian found himself back at a time when the protagonist didn't know him yet.

Jiang Xian spotted the protagonist in the distance: broad-shouldered and long-legged, with strikingly handsome features and a cool, chaste air.

Jiang Xian's eyes lit up. "Let's make a good life together this time. That's more important than anything!"

So Jiang Xian engineered chance encounters every day and planned to move in with him. After they did, he tried to create intimate moments through casual physical contact. But the other man remained unmoved, even looking baffled when Jiang Xian gave an emotional speech that nearly made him cry.

Jiang Xian: I still have work to do.

One day, Jiang Xian brought lunch to the company where he was interning. On the way, he heard someone address a man as "President Lin."

Jiang Xian was confused. The protagonist was supposed to be just an employee at this point...

Then he saw the real protagonist having the famous argument where he came out in front of "President Lin."

To his astonishment, Jiang Xian discovered that his boyfriend was the protagonist's uncle.

Jiang Xian: ...Damn, I got the wrong person ΩДΩ

Jiang Xian slowly set the lunchbox on the table. "Sorry, I'm just here to deliver some takeout."

Lin Jing: ?

From that day on, Jiang Xian behaved himself and lived honestly. He also made sure to show proper respect to the protagonist's uncle.

Jiang Xian: Right. Respect.

Lin Jing: You hold my hand every day, ask me to hug you, and call me baby. That's what you call respect?

Jiang Xian: ...

A few seconds later.

Jiang Xian: Because I admire and love you.

Lin Jing: Drop the "admire."

Jiang Xian: Because I love you.

Lin Jing: Mm. I know.

Jiang Xian: ...
