The Original Novel's Male Lead Is Getting Tired of It

Tentative...

Here is the original blurb:

Shen Yi, a top-tier star, is good for nothing but his beautiful face. He's widely known in the industry as a "useless beauty."

One day, he unexpectedly learns that he's actually living in a transmigrate-into-a-book novel, and is nothing more than a sacrificial stepping stone in the protagonists' love story.

His fiance is stolen, scandals follow him everywhere, all his work dries up, and in the end he becomes an obscure, washed-up nobody on the eighteenth tier.

Shen Yi looks at his flawless face in the mirror and sneers.

Get cheated on, trampled underfoot, and end up in misery? Dream on.

He hates being controlled by the plot.

He'll turn things around with his own hands.

Shen Yi sets his sights on the man who controls a vast business empire and half the entertainment industry: his future father-in-law, Lu Tingyuan.

Lu Tingyuan has never once looked at him properly.

Shen Yi presses his thin lips near the man's ear and murmurs with a cold laugh, "My dear father-in-law, you wouldn't want your son’s scandal to come to light, would you?"

And Lu Tingyuan, the powerful yet reserved "father-in-law," feels his heart go out of control at that moment.

He's waited far too long for this day.

[Pretty and Delicate Bottom | Pregnancy and Childbirth]

This is exactly the kind of melodrama I love!

Reader's notes:

0. The fated bottom is an adopted son, not a biological one. No ethical issues.

1. Both leads are physically and emotionally faithful to each other.

2. Both leads have flawed personalities.

3. The relationship is mutually doting, with a slight focus on the top. Not suitable for anyone with strong preferences about either role.

Theme: Everyone has a talent they're born to use, and scummy tops should be scummy to the end.
