They Married Me Without Spending a Penny

(Not a single coin spent. I'm getting these two men married for my own sake. My role is strictly to watch and support them.)

Zhou Chi transmigrated into his favorite danmei novel, becoming a minor butler who'd been adopted by the male lead's family as a child. He now had the chance to watch the male lead and his love interest fall in love up close.

Zhou Chi was thrilled and vowed to protect their romance! He even traveled overseas to study butlering, all so he could become the best possible matchmaker.

On the night of the leads' wedding, Zhou Chi was positively buzzing. Dad, I finally get to see my favorite couple make it official! But the next morning, he saw the newlyweds emerge from separate rooms!

The original story's delicate, frail little sparrow ran a hand through his long hair and smiled deeply. "Butler Zhou, Yanting has told me you can do just about anything. Could you help me comb my hair?"

Before Zhou Chi could react, an arm wrapped around him from the front. The man's stern voice sounded behind him. "A Chi, you said you'd only serve me."

Zhou Chi tried to reassure himself. It had to be a marriage-first, love-later story. No big deal. Don't panic.

But...

One night, Zhou Chi lifted his blanket and found Mei Han, the love interest, lying naked beneath it.

That small face was on the verge of tears as Mei Han hugged Zhou Chi and wheedled him affectionately.

And that wasn't even the scariest part. After dodging Mei Han's advances once again, Zhou Chi ran into the CEO male lead, who saw him in all his disheveled misery.

As Zhou Chi stood there trembling with fear, the CEO raised a hand and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, bit by bit.

He lowered his eyes, calmly watching the beads of sweat, a rare, sinister smile curling his lips.

"A Chi, why have you been spending so much time with Mei Han lately? Did something happen between you two that I don't know about?"

"Tell me the truth. Don't lie to me."

Zhou Chi: Damn it, I picked a fake couple.

What Zhou Chi didn't know was that the wedding had been for him all along.

Important notes: 1. This is a one-on-one romance. No choosing sides, no choosing sides!

2. A composed, self-controlled CEO on the outside and a madman within, paired with a cool, gentle, snarky love interest.

Theme: Through examining each other and learning from one another's strengths, the two become better people.
