Stick One on Me

Jiang Lingzhi wakes up one day with his self-awareness awakened.

It turns out he's a cannon-fodder character in a book. He's the all-around center of a top-tier star boy band, yet he insists on being the male lead's obsessive lapdog. The male lead won't even give him a second glance, treating him only as a backup option.

His friends are exasperated with him, and many fans turn against him after dropping him.

Unable to bear watching himself behave this way, Jiang Lingzhi immediately leaves the group, terminates his contract, and dumps the male lead. Then he forms a new group and makes a fresh debut.

Netizens aren't optimistic: Is he doing something stupid for that guy again??

The male lead sneers. "He'll be back in three months, tops."

But Jiang Lingzhi, now done with love, wins award after award.

Netizens are delighted: ??? I admit, I was way too loud when I criticized him back then!

The male lead realizes he's fallen too far behind Jiang Lingzhi: ?!!

Jiang Lingzhi suffers from skin hunger. He longs for hugs and touch.

But he's naturally aloof, and few people are willing to approach him.

Then, after a party, he wakes up with a young man lying beside him.

The young man has only just come of age, and he's so stunning that talent scouts would approach him even on the street. Jiang Lingzhi assumes he's gone astray and gives him some money.

Not long afterward, though, his manager points to the young man and tells Jiang Lingzhi, "This is your new personal assistant."

A boy at the tail end of adolescence radiates warmth, and that's irresistible to Jiang Lingzhi.

The new assistant rubs against him: "Boss, would you like a hug?"

The new assistant touches him: "Boss, your skin is so cool, ovo."

The new assistant bites him: "Boss, why are you trembling?"

Jiang Lingzhi: "..." Cuddling feels so good.

Later, Jiang Lingzhi discovers that his new assistant is the male lead's younger uncle, and the sole heir to a wealthy family.

The male lead is miserable without Jiang Lingzhi. When he finally runs into him, he demands an explanation in a hysterical rage, only to hear Jiang Lingzhi say coolly, "You should call me Uncle now."

The young man gives a coy little hum. "That's right, little nephew."

The male lead's head spins.

A possessive, scheming, green-tea puppy of an older top who acts pitiful off the bed and, ahem, is very different on it x a cool, aloof kitten of a younger bottom with skin hunger and an icy aura to the bone.

Younger top!
