The Hated Little Madman Can't Behave at All [Showbiz]

The universally disliked, slightly unhinged streamer who fights back against anyone VS the brooding, roguishly handsome top-tier star and award-winning actor

[Blurb]

Ji Ge is a late-night streamer who logs on at midnight and goes off the rails right on schedule, picking fights with anything that annoys him!

One night, after he spilled some dirt on the top-tier star Duan and went on a rant against him, Duan Qibai's fans cornered him.

While fleeing, he accidentally became bound to a system.

It turned out he was living inside a melodramatic, badly concluded power fantasy called The Top Star Duan Shao's Cheat-Code Life, where he was... a random passerby.

Ji Ge: ?

System: Since you openly provoked and smeared top-tier star Duan online, you've successfully joined the main cast and become a key character in the story. Congratulations!

Ji Ge: Thanks, but no thanks.

The Top Star Duan Shao's Cheat-Code Life tells the clichéd story of Duan Qibai's rise to the top and his eventual marriage to the protagonist. Recently, the transmigration bureau discovered that someone had transmigrated into Duan Qibai and changed his fate, dragging the heaven-blessed prodigy off his pedestal. This would leave the book with a disastrous ending, so the bureau sent a system to save the scum gong.

Ji Ge: What does that have to do with me?

System: You're now a minor cannon-fodder character in the main cast, tasked with saving the scum gong!

Ji Ge: ...I should be honored, I guess?

And so the laid-back streamer was forced to bind himself to a system tasked with saving the scum gong. The random, slightly unhinged guy was given a new role: cannon fodder who helps the main cast.

From the gong's perspective:

Duan Qibai realized that this wasn't just a straightforward power-up story. Danger lurked around him, and there was one person who kept appearing at just the right moment to fend off his admirers, cut off his desires, and defuse threats. Was it all coincidence, or was someone playing the long game?

When a new variety show launched in China, Ji Ge, who had fended off countless admirers for him, pointed to the System's chosen protagonist and said, “Pick him!”

But Duan Qibai stood beneath the spotlights, his eyes full of affection and his voice firm. “I choose Ji Ge, my partner and... the person I love.”

The whole room fell silent.

Ji Ge was dumbfounded.

A dating contract???!!!

Could you please let the person involved know in advance?!

System, scratching its head: Oh no! The plot's gone off track! If top-tier star Duan doesn't meet the protagonist, this book can't have a happy ending!

System: How about you take the protagonist's place?

[Ji Ge uncrosses his legs, sits up straight, and slowly types a question mark: ?.jpg]

In this love game that's a romance in name only, the first to surrender loses. Ji Ge knew Duan Qibai was testing him at every turn, but he still willingly sank deeper and deeper into the game.

Once, Duan Qibai pinned him in a corner. Beneath the intense intimacy was a cold, scrutinizing gaze. “Who are you, really...?”

Ji Ge's eyes dropped to his lips. After a brief glance, he looked back up at Duan Qibai. “I was sent here to guide you down the brilliant path that belongs to Duan Qibai.”

When you reach the top, my work will be done, and I'll leave.

Later, Duan Qibai really did reach the top. When his concert ended, he declared his love to the one he loved, with the whole world watching.

Ji Ge: Weren't we pretending to date?

Duan Qibai wrapped an arm around his waist and kissed the corner of his lips. “Have you ever known someone who transmigrated into a book to follow the plot obediently?”

Ji Ge kissed him back, and they kissed passionately, the sound of their kisses amplified without limit...

Ji Ge: Your mic is still on! Mm...

Duan Qibai kissed him again. “I know. I left it on on purpose.”

Outside, people went from

[Obviously fake fan service. They're just contract lovers!]

[Hah, Ji Ge, stop dreaming.]

[If those two are for real, I'll stand on my head...]

to

[What was that sound??!!]

[Aaaaaah, am I allowed to hear this?!]

[Why did you say you'd stand on your head?]

[Standing on my head to wish them well...]

The next second, the whole internet was buzzing.

* A sweet first-love story, one-on-one.

* An unconventional transmigration-into-a-book story: the shou lives in the book, while the gong transmigrated into it.

* Ji Ge never liked the original character. He's always loved Duan Qibai, who transmigrated into the book.

* The characters aren't based on real people. Please don't read them as such.
