The Male Lead Is Always Being Fought Over (Quick Transmigration)

[This story will go premium on August 21, with Chapter 24. Thank you all for your support!]

In every novel, there's a catalyst who brings the main couple together.

They're beautiful, manipulative, and sometimes downright wicked, but without exception, they meet a tragic end.

They may be gravely ill, suffer from a chronic disease, or lose their entire family.

You Ran plays just such a role. He repeatedly jumps between the main characters, turning them against each other and inciting them to fight, all while playing the jealous rival.

Then, in the end, the protagonists discover his schemes and kill him.

But in the very end, the protagonists don't kill him. Instead, both of them want to keep him by their side and make him stay.

You Ran: ?

World One: The Debauched Young Noble. (School setting)

The protagonist bottom is his childhood friend, and the protagonist top is his buddy.

He's long been in love with the protagonist top and hates the protagonist bottom.

In the dead of night, he sneaks into the protagonist bottom's room to play pranks on him.

By day, he's the fun-loving, debauched friend who always smiles as he tells the protagonist top how much he loves him deep down...

World Two: The Manipulative Little Mute. (ABO)

The protagonist bottom saved his life, and the protagonist top is the bottom's fiance.

He falls for his savior's fiance and carefully yet boldly sets the protagonist top up.

To everyone else, he's a pitiful, helpless beta who can only survive by relying on the protagonist bottom.

In secret, he's a scheming little manipulator who wants to turn the two against each other, willing to do anything to get what he wants.

Theme: No matter where you are, never lose yourself.
