A miserable, ridiculous, love-shunning workaholic top x a proud, aloof beauty who has double standards only for the top and tells everyone else to get lost
Xia Min awakened and discovered he was a character in a domineering CEO novel, with quite a few scenes of his own.
He wasn't the domineering CEO, nor the CEO's assistant, and certainly not the personal doctor the CEO called in the middle of the night.
He was the lovesick cannon-fodder who chased after the protagonist bottom while the domineering CEO ran from him, and he chased, and the CEO couldn't escape!
Xia Min reflected on his life and shut his eyes in despair. He had no face to meet this messed-up world.
That damn author, the protagonist's own mother, had put a curse on him!
Since time immemorial, the one who appears later beats the childhood sweetheart. Xia Min was that doomed childhood sweetheart.
Being cannon fodder was bad enough. Chasing after love didn't mean you'd succeed, but his "mother" of an author had also given him the trait of being a lovesick simp!
Xia Min seriously suspected that when the author created him, she poured so much "simp" trait into him that she drained the Pacific dry!
When Lin Xuan booked a hotel room, Xia Min brought condoms. No wonder he was the domineering CEO, the author's favorite son: his size was astonishing, enough to reach the stomach in one thrust. In a torrential downpour, Xia Min ran to three different convenience stores before finally finding the condoms they wanted: hyaluronic-acid-infused, ultra-thin, extra-lubricated, ribbed, long-lasting, extra-large.
No wonder he was a domineering CEO. He was so demanding about bedroom supplies, too. But wasn't buying condoms and bringing clothes afterward the sort of thing a poor CEO's assistant was supposed to do?
Don't ask. It was all to emphasize his role as the ultimate lovesick simp and cannon fodder.
The stupid things he'd done were still vivid in his mind. After awakening, Xia Min wanted to go back and slap his clueless, condom-delivering self across the face.
"I knew you could do it, Big Brother Xia Min. You're a superhero."
The guest room door opened. Lin Xuan was sprawled across the CEO's sculpted abs, greeting him.
"Lin Xuan's afraid it'll hurt. Please be gentle."
Good heavens, what had he just said! Xia Min covered his face and cried. Even a tool's life is a life.
Luckily, he completed his mission as the ultimate lovesick cannon fodder. Xia Min lay wailing in the intensive care unit. At the critical moment, he pushed the suicidal protagonist bottom out of the way and was sent flying by a truck.
The instant the truck hit him, he awakened. He was also nearly dead.
Good heavens! What perfect timing for an awakening. Thank you and your whole family! Xia Min got so worked up that he died in his hospital bed.
The now-happily-married protagonist couple came to pay their respects, holding chrysanthemums for the gatekeeper of their love story. Xia Min looked at the two lovebirds and got so worked up that he came back to life.
Alive again, on his way to deliver condoms.
Aish! Just let the world end!
[Note]: Xia Min will meet an unbelievably doting bottom!
