After Becoming Cannon Fodder in a Harem Novel, He Refused to Play Along

Xu Jingtang transmigrated into a novel with a charming protagonist adored by everyone, with multiple men falling for him.

But he was a disposable side character.

He was the blindest idiot of them all, watching his fiance fall for the protagonist and flirt with him behind his back without realizing it; the foolish younger brother who watched his own brother fall for the protagonist, abandon the family's responsibilities for him, and still sincerely wished them well; the ultimate simp who watched his crush fall for the protagonist, get bluntly rejected, and then painfully help him pursue the protagonist; the invincible sacrificial pawn who watched his childhood friend fall for the protagonist, their decade-plus friendship vanish in an instant, and get stabbed in the back.

Xu Jingtang: So what if I transmigrated into a side character? You damn author, do you have to torment me so much?! Heaven, I won't call you Grandpa anymore, because you've never treated me like a grandson!

Option B, Plan E: Don't side characters deserve to live?

Everyone around him only loves the protagonist.

Xu Jingtang: Heaven, why not make me fall in love with him too, then!

Side characters must fight for their rights, and that starts with standing up for themselves!

A loveless fiance in a family marriage, pretending to get along while secretly at odds?

Xu Jingtang: Break off the engagement. I don't like ugly men. I can't stand having an ugly man in my bed after we get married.

A thoughtless idiot of an older brother who abandoned his own younger brother?

Xu Jingtang: What brother? I don't have a brother who brings shame on our family. Leave the company in my capable hands, and go live on love alone.

An arrogant, conceited, brainless crush?

Xu Jingtang: I was blind before. Now I'm cured. Take a look at what happened to my fiance.

A fickle, disloyal, backstabbing childhood friend?

Xu Jingtang: My mom doesn't let me play with idiots.

Once the outsider stopped acting like a disposable side character, the natives went crazy.

His fiance grabbed him by the waist, eyes red: "Keep dreaming. I'm not agreeing to end our engagement!"

His older brother wept: "I was wrong, bro! I don't like him anymore! I brought shame on our family!"

His crush showed up at his door: "You can't just say you don't like me anymore! Now I can't get you out of my head!"

His childhood friend made a sudden confession: "I actually like you! I only did all that to get your attention!"

Xu Jingtang: ? Are you all crazy?

Xu Jingtang came home smelling of another man's cologne, barely having time to catch his breath before the heartthrob picked him up with a dark expression and pinned him against the wall. "You still like him?"

Xu Jingtang (wiping his drool): As expected, a heartthrob really is a heartthrob. He doesn't even spare me.

Lian Zhiyao was the heartthrob adored by everyone in a novel, and also the top retired veteran from the infinite-flow world next door.

After his endless adventures, stomping on zombies and teaching rule-based horror stories how to behave, he chose a peaceful world to settle down in. But he landed in the wrong place and became a heartthrob whom other men all watched hungrily.

The big shot who was used to making the rules became a down-and-out young master. Lian Zhiyao: There's something wrong with this world.

When a pack of men chased after him, and he discovered that there was no such thing as pure brotherly affection between men, Lian Zhiyao: There's something wrong with all the men in this world.

Lian Zhiyao, who thought of Xu Jingtang as his only good friend, gradually found himself drawn to him. Lian Zhiyao: There's nothing wrong with him.
