The Male Supporting Character in a Romance Novel Made a Move on the Male Lead

My next novel is Mistaking a Male Model for a Male Sub at a Bar. The blurb is at the bottom. Blurb for this novel: There are countless romance novel heroes in the world, and there’s always one who will win your heart. Maybe it’s the devoted CEO who pursues his wife, a tycoon who can’t even afford a plane ticket, thanks to his stomach problems; the award-winning actor who’s admired by everyone but secretly harbors an innocent crush; or the loyal assassin who willingly becomes a devoted bodyguard. But whatever kind he is, whenever the hero finally wins the beauty and reaches his happy ending, there’s always someone else in the story. They’re affectionately known as the second male leads. Their roles are to help the couple get together, show how great the hero is, show how amazing he is, and make everyone cheer for him. They might be the CEO’s family doctor, the president of an entertainment company, or the childhood friend in a childhood-friends-to-lovers story... But no matter what their role is, they can never escape becoming cannon fodder. Until one day, a System calling itself 116 entered one small world after another, binding itself to one second male lead after another who had been treated like a mere tool. That was when the gears of fate began to turn. Unfortunately, the gears only turned halfway. The second male leads had awakened, but they still had to achieve a happy ending to keep their worlds running. So they kept helping the hero and heroine fall in love, never to return from that path. But could someone explain why the hero’s gaze was getting stranger and stranger? In short, this is probably a story about a guy saying, “Bro, I really wasn’t trying to make you fall for me.” * ① Old-school CEO romance: A flippant playboy doctor pursuer vs. a CEO with a screw loose, the recipient 116: “You’re the CEO novel’s private doctor, with just one line: ‘How could you do this to him?’ In the original, because the irresponsible author left the story unfinished, the CEO’s wife-pursuit-in-the-crematorium ended with him in the ICU, so there was no happy ending.” Second Male Lead: “No problem. The solution is to turn a tragic wife-pursuit story into a sweet little romance. So, so easy.” As a result, that very night, a certain second male lead ended up in bed with a certain hero. The next morning, 116 said, “How could you do this to him!” ② Post-apocalyptic survival novel: A gentle, determined medic pursuer vs. a blade-wielding assassin recipient 116: “You’re the brick the hero uses wherever he needs one on his road to success. For some unknown reason, the hero killed the heroine.” Second Male Lead: “Not only do I have to complete the happy-ending mission, I also have to find the hero a heroine? What are the odds I can quit the lab and become the host of a dating show?” The hero replied, “The answer is right in front of you, not far away...” 116: “?” #WonderingWhereThingsWentWrong# #ARecapOf116sYearsOnTheJob# Loading the rest of the pages...

With twenty handwritten book-review essays due soon, Ji Fengsheng reluctantly took his friend’s advice and went to a bar to hire a male sub. The male sub was not only handsome, but also well-versed in theory. Without needing to spend time searching online, he could come up with over three thousand words. Ji Fengsheng was very satisfied! He even added him on WeChat that night, intending to “make this a long-term arrangement” and “come back often.” Then one day, his elective course instructor took sick leave, and a grad student in his first year stepped in to teach. The moment Ji Fengsheng saw one of his long-term prospects, the pen slipped from his hand. He froze. “...” 2. While waiting for a friend at the bar, Xie Yize unexpectedly ran into a younger student. The student not only failed to recognize him, but even mistook him for a male model. Xie Yize was about to give him a proper scolding when the kid slapped a notebook as heavy as a brick onto him. Xie Yize: “...” Very good. Excellent! 3. One day after they got together. Ji Fengsheng asked indignantly, “It was the first time for both of us.
