A Villainous Cannon Fodder, Yet the Protagonist's White Moonlight

A genuinely sweet, clueless idiot of a bottom who only pretends to be wicked x a truly twisted, gloomy ghost of a top who only pretends to be a gentle father figure

After falling seriously ill, Xu Ning had a bizarre, surreal dream. In it, he was the villainous cannon fodder in a story about a real and fake young master.

The protagonist was Xiao Yuhuai, the Xiao family's real young master, whom they were about to bring home.

So what if he was villainous cannon fodder? He wasn't going to grovel to fate just to stay alive.

Looking at Xiao Yuhuai's bumpkin appearance, like he'd never seen the world, Xu Ning decided to play his villainous role to the hilt.

But damn fate had other plans. Every prank and act of revenge somehow kept taking an unspeakable turn.

He had Xiao Yuhuai get drunk, hoping to take compromising pictures and ruin his reputation. But that night, Xiao Yuhuai suddenly showed up in Zhu Ning's room, hugging him, kissing and biting him.

At a banquet, Xu Ning had someone drug Xiao Yuhuai to humiliate him in front of everyone. Instead, Xu Ning became the antidote.

And so on, again and again.

He'd meant to make Xiao Yuhuai give up and leave with his tail between his legs. Not only did Xiao Yuhuai stay, he somehow became Xu Ning's shadow.

Xu Ning thought Xiao Yuhuai was the most annoying person ever. He stepped up his schemes to get back at him, only for them to backfire every time.

Even his friend demanded to know which side he was on.

Xu Ning immediately declared his loyalty: "Of course I'm on your side! We're best friends. Xiao Yuhuai is just my dog. Everything I've done is to humiliate him."

He didn't see Xiao Yuhuai standing nearby. The warmth and gentleness had vanished from his face, leaving only a sinister expression and a frenzied, possessive gaze.

Later, with Xu Ning pinned beneath him, Xiao Yuhuai cradled his face and kissed him as he asked, "A-Ning, are we the best?"

Xu Ning opened his mouth but couldn't speak. Xiao Yuhuai thrust into him like a madman, spouting crazed words:

"Baby, I'm the one you love most, right?"

"Baby, don't look at them. Just look at me, okay?"

"Baby, I think you're carrying our baby. A-Ning, have one for me, okay?"

Hearing Xiao Yuhuai's increasingly deranged words, Xu Ning couldn't take it anymore. "You animal!"

Xiao Yuhuai: "Mm, I'm an animal. I'll be my wife's dog for the rest of my life."

Xu Ning: "..."
