A universally adored cannon-fodder uke who inexplicably gets between the protagonist seme and uke x a dark, obsessive, completely unhinged seme who finally claws his way to the top. Synopsis below. Teachers, please take a look at our Zihan!!!]

Synopsis:

Actor Xiao Ling was hated across the internet after his public image collapsed. Then he got into a car accident, suffered a head injury, and suddenly awakened to the truth.

He was actually an unlucky cannon-fodder character in a wealthy-family business novel, the childhood hospital roommate of the overpowered male lead, and the unattainable white moonlight he could never have.

Unfortunately, a white moonlight would eventually become a mere speck of mosquito blood. In the novel, after Xiao Ling was hated by the whole internet, no one would help him, his future was ruined, and his family and friends were dragged down with him, all becoming stepping stones for the overpowered male lead.

After awakening, Xiao Ling looked at his fellow cannon-fodder friends keeping watch beside his bed, then opened his phone to see that half the trending topics in entertainment were hate posts about him.

He stubbornly blocked the overpowered male lead again, even after the man sent him a contract to become his kept lover.

In this life, he would escape the fate of a cannon-fodder character, stand tall, protect his family and friends, and stop letting down the fans who were getting hate all over the internet for standing up for him.

As Xiao Ling worked hard to clear his name, one persistent hater kept leaving posts beneath his clarifications, dragging his name through the mud:

"The Real Face of the Entertainment Industry's Casanova: Calling Every Man 'Big Brother,' How Many Big Brothers Do You Have?"

"You said you'd find investors for me, then swindled two million from my hopelessly stupid younger brother to chase men in showbiz."

"You picked a fight with someone over a stray dog, but when I wanted your undivided love, you gave your love to all humanity."

"I'm not Xiao Ling's ex-boyfriend. He never broke up with me."

"A mere blood feud over my father's murder is nothing. Xiao Ling has no reason to leave me."

A hater who seemed to be Xiao Ling's boyfriend went on a furious rant, clearing Xiao Ling's name while rumors about his love life ran wild. Netizens digging through the past discovered:

When Xiao Ling debuted through a talent show at eighteen, a man accidentally appeared in his livestream to fans. The man's shirt was off, revealing a six-pack, and he was the eldest young master of the Tang family, who had been disowned and built his fortune from nothing.

At twenty-one, paparazzi spotted Xiao Ling entering an Olympic venue. A figure-skating champion in his teens ran up to him and pulled him into the athletes' area, shielding him completely with his strong, outstretched arms.

At twenty-three, Xiao Ling, who had already appeared in several films and dramas, chatted happily with a tall, handsome mixed-race investor at an upscale private club. The green-eyed mixed-race man lowered his elegant head and kissed Xiao Ling's fingertips.

In the hateful yet affectionate words of the hater, curious netizens came to know a warm, radiant Xiao Ling who shone with light: a person worthy of being loved and cherished by countless people.

In an unexpected way, Xiao Ling won the love of millions of fans.

But Xiao Ling's own secrets were exposed. Unable to bear it any longer, he finally met the "hater" in person. As they jostled, burning fingers brushed his waist, making him shiver and go weak in the knees.

"You bastard!"

He cursed, but the other man seemed even more aggrieved, burying his face in Xiao Ling's shoulder.

"Wifey..."

Reader's notes:

* The boyfriend fan really is going crazy and dragging him through the mud out of jealousy that he's not on the protagonist's rumored-love-interest list.

* Even if he's not the only one, the boyfriend fan will chase off every rumored love interest and become the official partner!!

* The male lead is universally adored, but he's no playboy. It's 1v1 from beginning to end.

* Lots of people are interested in the male lead, including wealthy CEOs, an Olympic champion, and a mixed-race investor. He only returns one person's feelings; with everyone else, it's friendship and brotherly affection.

* All characters are original fictional creations and aren't based on real people. Please don't make those connections. Thank you!

Coming-soon synopsis: The Cannon Fodder White Moonlight Quits This Love Story (Quick Transmigration)

Only when he was in dire straits did Yu Qingyuan realize that everyone else had always seen him as a shameless third party.

People said he had come between the male lead seme and the male lead uke, using the seme's infatuation with him to disregard the bigger picture, damage the alliance between the couple, and break the uke's heart.

The love he had thought was real was, in other people's eyes, a malicious and pitiful scheme.

Yu Qingyuan eventually died at the hands of the male lead seme, who claimed to love him. His soul was destroyed, and his friend, who had protected him, was dragged down with him and sacrificed their soul to save him.

A "Fox Spirit System" came to him and took him to various small worlds to play the third party between the male lead seme and uke. It ordered him to actively sabotage their relationship, all so that the couple could overcome hardships and become even more devoted to each other. Completing the missions would earn him fragments of his friend's soul.

To save his friend, Yu Qingyuan worked hard to complete the missions. But every time he tried to leave the crowded relationship, the protagonists went mad. The male lead seme wouldn't stop pursuing him, while the protagonist uke, who was supposed to hate him, clung to his waist and refused to let go.

In the first world, he was a fake young master from a wealthy family who wanted to steal the real young master's fiance, becoming the fox spirit in everyone's eyes.

He opened his eyes just as the fake young master had finished seducing the seme and was showing off the marks on his body in front of the real young master, hinting at their intimacy.

But the next moment, the real young master pinned him against the wall.

"You little slut, who are you seducing?"

In the second world, he was a poor scholar who interfered with a political marriage between two nations. In the end, his entire family was wiped out, and his name was reviled for generations.

In the third world, he was a variegated carp who wildly dreamed of seducing the Celestial Emperor. In the end, his soul was turned into a pattern and became an ornament on the new Empress's clothes.

Yu Qingyuan couldn't understand the mind of a lunatic. He swore he would get out of the unhinged protagonist seme and uke's relationship, and let those two bastards live happily ever after together.

Reader's notes:

1v1

Both the seme and uke love the protagonist, making him an undercover heartthrob, but he doesn't know it.

Rivalry for the protagonist + crematorium-style regret + love-triangle drama

Theme: Stay true to yourself and never forget your original intentions.
