[The core premise won't change, but the blurb may be revised]
A jaded top who can't be bothered to destroy the world x a puppy-like bottom who only wants the top to stay alive
-
Falling, a melodramatic old-school CEO novel about a wealthy family, a universally adored protagonist, and love that can never be returned, with physical and emotional torment. The four cannon-fodder tops and the villain are all tools used to advance the romance between the protagonist bottom and his official love interest.
The villain is madly in love with the protagonist bottom and tries to kidnap him, but his plan is exposed.
On a night of torrential rain, the official love interest stands holding a black umbrella, looking down at the villain sprawled in the mud. His voice is cold and condescending: “I’ll make you wish you were dead.”
Qi Huaishen, the villain himself, newly awakened to the truth: What the hell.
*
Qi Huaishen feels like his life is slipping out of his control.
For instance, he suddenly does strange things, says bizarre things, and meets inexplicable people, and he can't stop any of it.
Then one day, Qi Huaishen discovers that he's living inside a book.
Bad news: He's the villain.
Good news: He hasn't done anything bad yet.
Terrible news: He can't fight the plot.
So Qi Huaishen decides to die.
But just before the knife tip pierces his heart, the little dog he picked up half a month ago bites down on his sleeve, whimpering and refusing to let go.

The top truly doesn't want to live, while the bottom is doing everything he can to save him.
The bottom can turn into a puppy, but is human most of the time.
I'll write this one next, bumping this idea to the front of the queue.
Theme: You will always be the most important person in someone's heart.
