A Straight Man's Little Tricks

Lin Jici was eighteen when he suddenly realized he had transmigrated into a book. He had entered a sweet romance novel called Fate Brought You and Me Together, where he was the heroine's childhood friend, a devoted second male lead who secretly loved her.

In Fate Brought You and Me Together, the straight male lead initially looked down on the heroine, but eventually fell in love with her despite himself, stubbornly insisting he didn't like her. The novel was packed with sweet moments, and readers kept exclaiming about how adorable it was. As the heroine's childhood friend, Lin Jici loved her deeply and constantly caused trouble between her and the male lead, creating all kinds of misunderstandings. In the end, the heroine and the male lead got their happy ending, while the childhood friend left in sorrow.

Lin Jici: ...

He glanced at the heroine sitting beside him, shuddered, and silently decided not to get involved in the tangled romance between her and the male lead.

Lin Jici wanted to stay out of it, but reality gave him no choice. He shared a dorm with the male lead, and served as the bridge between him and the heroine. He had no choice but to invite her out on the male lead's behalf. The male lead then complained, "Why do you bring your childhood friend along every time we go out?"

Lin Jici: ??? But she's your wife!

Qi Wu: ? Isn't my wife you?

Later, Lin Jici realized that every night, Qi Wu would turn into the cotton doll Lin Jici kept on his bed. The person Qi Wu liked was actually him!

Lin Jici thought with tears streaming down his face about all the times he had sung, changed clothes, and cursed Qi Wu while lying in bed.

Lin Jici: ... Help!

Qi Wu: My wife is so cute. Kiss kiss.

Theme: There is no such thing as destiny. Everything depends on your own efforts.
