Turns Out I'm the Mad Male Lead's White Moonlight

Xi Wu and Bei Ge first met when Bei Ge had been drugged and bound hand and foot, then tossed into Xi Wu's room as a gift.

He was weak, helpless, and disheveled, with hatred in his eyes.

Xi Wu threw him into the bathroom, turned on the cold water, and untied him.

He wiped his hands, looked down at him, and said coldly, "Take care of it yourself." Then he left.

At the time, Xi Wu had no interest in romance and was a germaphobe. Besides, Bei Ge was a man.

Only after being reborn did Xi Wu learn that he was a cannon-fodder villain in the dark novel Self-Imprisonment.

Bei Ge was its unhinged male lead. After hitting rock bottom, he struck back, and everyone who had wronged him met a bad end.

Everyone except Xi Wu, who died suddenly from overwork. Perhaps Bei Ge spared him because he remembered that night?

Reborn, Xi Wu had a complete change of heart. The career-minded man decided to lie flat and give up.

He failed to notice that the night from the original plot had come around again, and Bei Ge was once more tied up in his room.

Xi Wu: ...

He'd gotten so good at giving up that he'd forgotten about this.

Xi Wu was silent for a long time. After untying Bei Ge, he decided to show him a little extra kindness.

"Need any help?" Xi Wu asked politely.

After all, in his previous life, both he and Bei Ge had been workaholic loners, devoted to their careers and uninterested in romance or desire.

Xi Wu figured Bei Ge would say, "Thanks, but no."

"Would you?" Bei Ge's gaze was dark, his voice low and hoarse.

Xi Wu: ...

"Sorry to bother you." Bei Ge went to the bathroom to douse himself with cold water after all.

Unlike the previous life, he wasn't weak or helpless this time. Xi Wu suspected Bei Ge hadn't been drugged. Given Bei Ge's fighting ability, he shouldn't have been tied up and brought there in humiliation unless he'd been ambushed and drugged. Xi Wu couldn't make sense of it.

Much later, Xi Wu happened to come across Bei Ge's work log:

In my dream, he looked down at me coldly, like a beaten dog.

And I begged so pathetically for his mercy.

This love that defies the rules must never see the light of day.

After countless times, finally...

What Xi Wu didn't know was that Bei Ge's love for him had long defied the rules, was forbidden, and could never see the light. It was the one taboo and the only regret in the life of a puppet on strings.

It was a love story made possible only after countless runs through dark scripts and innumerable variations, like a butterfly beating its wings and setting off a chain reaction.

So he was the unhinged male lead's secret black moonlight!

An awkward, clumsy, and innocent first love between an unhinged male lead and a powerful villain.

Theme: Love cannot be stopped.
