Why Has the Protagonist Fallen for Me?

An Shi transmigrates into a novel centered on a male protagonist, becoming a cannon-fodder male supporting character.

In the book, the male lead is forced by his family to enter into a marriage of convenience. An Shi is just a pawn, but he's an insufferable drama queen who desperately tries to win the male lead's heart, only to be callously abandoned.

When An Shi arrives, he's in a run-down house, where his family is in the middle of a huge fight.

"Xiao Shi wouldn't want to go. I know him. A mere 600-square-meter mansion and ten million in spending money won't sway him!"

An Shi kicks the door open and wipes the hot tears from the corner of his mouth. "That's right, I absolutely won't be swayed!"

"So where's your sense of decency? Where's your bottom line? And where can I get your contact information?!"

His relatives: "..."

Fu Huaishen is busy with family power struggles. After carefully selecting a suitable partner, he picks a little nobody with a clean background for the marriage alliance. Most importantly, the little nobody is timid, obedient, and easy to control.

He pushes the agreement in front of him and says coolly, "It's for one year. You only need to play your role in front of outsiders. Don't even think of wanting anything else."

The little nobody blinks his big black eyes and nods obediently.

It isn't until they move in together that Fu Huaishen realizes something seems off.

Timid?

On their wedding night, the little nobody wanders around in front of him wearing nothing but a shirt.

Obedient?

When drunk, he burrows into Fu Huaishen's arms, whimpering that his stomach hurts, throwing a little tantrum and begging to be petted.

Fu Huaishen's gaze turns dark as he calmly concludes:

He's being so bold and uninhibited. He must be trying to seduce me.

So, when he finally gives in to his feelings and can't resist kissing him, a slender, pale finger stops him.

An Shi's face turns bright red. Lowering his eyes shyly, he says, "Sorry, that costs extra."

Fu Huaishen: "????!"

Much later, late at night.

Fu Huaishen: "I get it now. You really only love money."

An Shi lowers his head bashfully.

Fu Huaishen slowly loosens his tie and tosses down a gold card. "There's seventy million on it. Ten million per time."

He says flatly, "Seven times tonight."

An Shi: "???!!!"

#The seven-times trope (not really)

A silly, drama-loving, sunshine bottom x a formerly cold and stubborn, later devoted top who spoils his wife

Reading guide:

1. Both are each other's first love, and neither had a romantic relationship in their previous life.

2. Says one thing but does another, falling in love and getting face-slapped, silly pursuit of the spouse.

3. The top falls first. Sweet romance, no angst.

4. Silly everyday life and sweet fluff.

Theme: Even at rock bottom, keep striving to rise.
