Shen Xu was bound to a System and tasked with playing a devoted second male lead in various little worlds, helping the heroines escape a string of unhinged male leads and reclaim happy lives.
In short: break them up, then pair them up.
Shen Xu looked at the male leads in the script:
Each one more handsome and obsessive than the last, with abs, money, and the obsessive yandere bonus...
Shen Xu was bubbling with joy. He was about to tear up the script and sacrifice himself for the mission when the System suddenly appeared and stopped him.
"You are straight."
Shen Xu: "...What?"
He looked down at the traditional Chinese medicine the System had forced on him and fell silent for three seconds. "You're sure drinking this will make me straight?"
The System answered confidently, "Guaranteed."
Under the System's pressure, Shen Xu resisted the urge to pounce and dutifully played the devoted supporting male lead, making trouble for the male lead and stabbing him in the back, until he had finally completed every plot point.
The good news: the male and female leads didn't get together.
The bad news: the male lead, unable to have the one he loved, still turned evil.
Watching Shen Xu get imprisoned and forced for the 108th time, waking up in the male lead's bed, the System was utterly despairing.
"...Host, you didn't drink the medicine at all, did you!!!"
Shen Xu: I was forced too (〃v〃)
