The Pretty Sacrificial Pawn Is Always Hounded by Villains

[Top, Gorgeous Retired Seme vs. Villainous Shou Who Forces Marriage and Takes What He Wants, Six Little Worlds]

The author is having trouble with the schedule~

Gu Mengyu dutifully plays the cannon fodder, determined to be the most beautiful backdrop, eating, drinking, and sleeping.

Wait, can that villain stay a little farther away from me?!

His retirement is turning into a storm of bloodshed...?

World One: Scheming Green Tea Beta Meets Iron-Blooded President

You are a little gift your family has given the president. You are fed and pampered, and all you need to do is have fair skin and good looks.

Gu Mengyu's eyes sparkle. "People who try to climb into his bed get exiled to a second-rate planet?"

Here he comes! The planet is underdeveloped but beautiful! Isn't this just like a consort banished to the cold palace? It doesn't affect his salary, and he's even getting a paid vacation. What more could he want?

Gu Mengyu's bed-climbing plan is proceeding smoothly... Wait, shouldn't they be throwing him out right now?

Rumors are harmful!

During his heat, the iron-blooded president clutches Gu Mengyu tightly. "Why? Can't I leave my pheromones on you?"

Gu Mengyu covers his mouth, which is eager to bite him. "I'm a beta. What nonsense are you talking about?"

A good beta faces an alpha head-on.

Until one day, Gu Mengyu learns that his family intended to give him to a congressman, not the president.

So how did he end up at the presidential residence?

World Two: Decorative Parasitic Flower Meets Nurturing Zombie Emperor

You are a famously useless pretty face at the central base. You have no powers, are afraid to kill zombies, and are extremely high-maintenance. You're also a scumbag, stringing along countless people while never responding to any of them.

Gu Mengyu: "My character is all about doing the least work and getting the best supplies. Come on, they were going to give them to me the moment I showed up anyway."

Gu Mengyu isn't surprised when his teammates abandon him, but where did this Zombie Emperor come from?!

Gu Mengyu backs away again and again. "Don't come any closer."

The Zombie Emperor puts on a muzzle and speaks menacingly. "Follow me, or die."

Gu Mengyu: "Next time you threaten someone, don't wear a muzzle."

When the people at the base see Gu Mengyu again, he's sitting on the Zombie Emperor's shoulder?

Gu Mengyu: "The Zombie Emperor is the biggest thigh to cling to. I was just taking the wrong path before."

World Three: Sickly Beauty Meets Yandere

You are the eldest son of the richest man, and you're frail. Not only do you have more money than you could ever spend, you don't have to work either.

Gu Mengyu: "What more could anyone ask for!"

A trip to the capital to send his second brother off to take the imperial examinations turns his peaceful life upside down.

The governor, rumored to be a merciless killer with a mercurial temperament, sets his sights on him and won't let go, chasing him from the capital all the way to Jiangnan.

Gu Mengyu: "The villain who wiped out his entire family in the original storyline? Better to run."

The governor races a thousand miles to chase his beloved. "Little Yu wouldn't want the Gu family worrying about you, would you? Why did you leave me?"

You're always so disobedient, Little Yu.

If the lake is big enough, will you be unable to escape?

World Four: Little Internet Celebrity Meets Stingy Big Sugar Daddy

Gu Mengyu is the CEO's stand-in lover. He earns 500,000 a month just for having meals with him.

Lazy Gu: "There's too much to spend. There's just no way to spend it all."

After meeting his "boyfriend's" adoptive father once, that adoptive father is suddenly everywhere.

The CEO, rumored to love money more than life and to amass wealth without restraint: "He doesn't have as much money as I do. Come with me, or neither of you will get paid."

Gu Mengyu: "...It's not like I wouldn't consider it."

The original "boyfriend": "Why does the newcomer get to take my place?"

Gu Mengyu shrugs: "Because he competes for me and fights for me, pays more, and takes better care of me. You just use his card."

Nobody believes Gu Mengyu's sugar daddy is Bai Xiansi.

The reason is simple: he's famously stingy, and being a sugar daddy is an expensive business.

World Five: Peach Blossom Spirit Meets Black Phoenix Gone Berserk

Gu Mengyu spends his days pretending he hasn't become a spirit yet in the sect. Then the sect fences off his home and gives it to the sect's guardian divine beast, a black phoenix gone berserk. The area remains forbidden until the black phoenix recovers.

Gu Mengyu: "Now he can boldly eat the spirit veins underground, right?"

After Gu Mengyu eats his fill, a force of magic drags him in front of the black phoenix.

"Little peach blossom spirit, how are you going to compensate me for eating my spirit veins?"

Gu Mengyu: "Weren't you in seclusion?"

Gu Mengyu waits for the plot to begin. In the storyline, the protagonists meet beneath his peach blossom tree and fall in love at first sight.

Gu Mengyu is horrified. "Wait, why are you digging me up, roots and all, you black phoenix?!"

"If I hide you away, you won't be able to run."

World Six: Bad-Tempered Male Insect Meets Rebel Marshal

Gu Mengyu returns to an insectoid world where he once played, only to discover that time has rewound.

He's just been forced by the System's matching program to marry the protagonist's foil, a legion commander who is bent on rebellion and believes females should rule.

Gu Mengyu: "...I'll apply for a divorce tomorrow QAQ"

The great villain kneels on the ground and offers up a whip. "Please punish me, my male lord."

Gu Mengyu rests his foot on the breast pocket of the villain's uniform. "Why are you pretending? Don't you look down on male insects and spend every day wanting females to rule?"

A man-eating shark pretending to be a little goldfish, ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!

The great villain: "!"

How did the male lord know? He absolutely mustn't know about those dark, ugly thoughts of his!

Gu Mengyu: "...How is a freeloader like me supposed to deal with evil forces? Time to run, and fast. (Packing up his valuables...)"

The seme is so beautiful it's out of this world. Forcing marriage and taking what he wants are just little games he indulges in.

He's frail only as an act. The shou is genuinely crazy.

Spoilers (read with caution!):

The last timeline is actually the second loop. In the first loop, the seme completes his mission, fakes his death, and runs away. The shou goes crazy.

Of course, in the first loop, the seme also has the shou dancing in circles around him.

This is an utterly sweet romance, the only purely sweet story!

Theme: Being in love is much more fun than being a villain
