[I'm so sorry, everyone. I've written two versions of this story and I'm unhappy with both. I can't find the right feel or any inspiration, so I've decided to put it on hold for now. If I pick it up later, I'll probably make major changes to the setting.]
Xu Enmiao's mother, who was never much of a presence in his life, suddenly marries into wealth and becomes the second wife of the powerful master of the Wen family in the Lakeside District.
But this has little to do with Xu Enmiao, the unwanted tagalong. As compensation, the powerful family gives him a sum of money and a chance to attend an elite school in the Lakeside District.
Life carries on quietly until one day he takes a fall and suddenly gains a new understanding: this world is actually a 1v4 danmei novel, and the protagonist, the one being pursued, is Han Shiqing, the neglected second omega son of the Han family.
Xu Enmiao: !?
He knows Han Shiqing. Isn't he his half-brother, his older brother Wen Youlin's fiance?
And in this story, the two Wen brothers, the heir to the biggest gang in the Rust District, and the only son of the Alliance Secretary-General will all fall desperately in love with him, to the point of trying to kill each other.
Five people chasing and fleeing, with melodrama and misunderstandings everywhere. What a show.
Wow! What a juicy scoop!
But that's not the point. The point is that Xu Enmiao is just a cannon-fodder character in this book! And not just any cannon fodder, but a low-level nobody who falls for the Alliance Secretary-General's only son, keeps digging his own grave, and eventually dies for real!
Xu Enmiao, with just one life to his name: No!!
That young master orders him around all day! He'd have to be out of his mind to fall for him!
Sensing disaster, Xu Enmiao goes on high alert and starts doing everything he can to keep himself alive.
But the gossip is just too good, so he can't help indulging while trying to stay alive.
Watching four men with top-tier looks and status compete for one another's attention every day, Xu Enmiao feels a rush of satisfaction and can't help snickering: Look at you now!
Until one day, he accidentally says what he's thinking out loud: "When are you all going to start fighting?"
In an instant, everyone's eyes turn to him.
In the knowing silence, the elegant man cleans his glasses and chuckles, his eyes fixed on Xu Enmiao. "Miaomiao, isn't it enough that you lead people on wherever you go? Do you have to make everyone go crazy for you, too?"
Xu Enmiao: ???
Wait, what does this have to do with him?!
Two-faced schemer gong x slippery, rebellious shou
The gong is the eldest Wen brother.
Reading guide:
- ABO setting
- I'll try to keep the tone light. The blurb still needs work.
- I haven't figured everything out yet. I'll add more when I do.
