On the day he won an award at a film festival, Nan Mengzhou transmigrated into a danmei novel about two male leads, as a cannon-fodder villain who would stop at nothing to win the protagonist gong's favor.
But as soon as he arrived, he faced a plot point that would kill him off. He tried to struggle for his life, but his rival swooped in to save the day and carried Nan Mengzhou to victory.
When he learned that his rival had always been helping him, only to be met with vicious insults from the original owner, Nan Mengzhou asked, "I'm so ungrateful. What do you get out of this?"
His rival: "Nothing. I'm just a sucker."
Later, they both joined a dating reality show.
One second, Nan Mengzhou drove away a green tea schemer. The next, his rival drove her even farther away.
When a supporting male character set his sights on Nan Mengzhou, his rival exposed the man's messy private life, ruining his reputation.
When the protagonist gong made a veiled remark advising Nan Mengzhou not to get his hopes up about him, his rival said, "You eat my food, live under my roof, and still have your eye on my man. You want it all, don't you? Are you asking for a beating?"
Yet this was the same person who always protected Nan Mengzhou. When Nan Mengzhou confessed, he cried so hard he gave himself alkalosis, but still didn't forget to reject him...
He said, "If you want to do right by me and your fans, then put out good work and win the awards you deserve. I won't be with you until you've won one."
After the dating show ended, Nan Mengzhou focused on his career, while his rival gradually began to regret things and clung to him more and more. Once, he couldn't hold back and kissed Nan Mengzhou. Nan Mengzhou deliberately asked, "Do you usually treat your friends this way?"
His rival: "No."
"Then what are we?"
"...Kissing friends."
Afterward, whenever people teased Nan Mengzhou and his rival about their relationship, Nan Mengzhou would say, "Kissing friends."
