A Cannon-Fodder Straight Guy, but a Lovable Himbo Everyone Admires

My new upcoming novel, "The Honest Man Gets Married," is below the blurb~ Jiang Li is a proper, straight-as-an-arrow man. After transmigrating, he wakes up as the sidekick of the beloved protagonist in a danmei novel. The original story is a melodramatic, angsty BL novel. Shen Fuqing, the head of the Shen family in the Imperial Capital, is refined and composed, always decisive and arrogant, and cool and unfeeling toward others. But this man has a face so beautiful it can captivate everyone, drawing them to him. He's indisputably the most beautiful man in the Imperial Capital. He's also the unattainable first love and lingering obsession of every male lead. Unable to have Shen Fuqing, they find a substitute who looks about seventy percent like him. From there, they get caught up in a tortuous, angsty relationship, with both physical and emotional suffering. In the end, the scumbag leads realize their mistakes and chase after their love in a desperate, humiliating pursuit, and somehow the story even gets a happy ending. But none of that has anything to do with Jiang Li. He's transmigrated into the role of Shen Fuqing's secretary and sidekick, a minor cannon-fodder character who gets taken out by the male leads in chapter one for foolishly lusting after his own boss. Jiang Li: "...Damn it!" To stay alive, Jiang Li crushes the original owner's wicked thoughts and doesn't dare cross the line even a little. He sticks to his job at all times and only has to take good care of his beloved boss every day. A muscular, dark-skinned college athlete makes a show of confessing his love to the boss, and Jiang Li scurries behind him, cleaning up after the beautiful man; A refined scumbag CEO gives the boss an outrageously expensive gift at a banquet, and Jiang Li dutifully makes the beautiful man a hangover cure; A frail young heir from a wealthy family clings to the boss in a coy, manipulative way, and Jiang Li is perceptive enough to act as a shield, using his silver tongue to soothe both beautiful men; Secretary Jiang works diligently, taking care of every last detail and making sure the big boss is perfectly looked after and always looking beautiful. He only wants to be a well-behaved, qualified little sidekick. He also quietly runs errands and delivers gifts for the male leads to help them win over his boss, earning a little extra on the side. He plans to save enough to buy a small home of his own, then ask someone to introduce him to a pretty wife. What a wonderful life! Jiang Li has it all planned out. But when he finally completes his mission and sits down at a matchmaking table, everyone goes crazy. What he never expected was that, when he was kidnapped and nearly killed by a criminal, his own boss, that gorgeous man with his nose in the air and his impossibly high standards, would risk his life to save him. Even with blood still at the corner of his mouth, he holds Jiang Li tightly in his arms and says hoarsely, "Don't be afraid." A big-hearted, money-loving, straight man receiving love x a cold, untouchable beauty giving love P.S. The love interest was a succubus in his original body. * Upcoming Novel Blurb: "The Honest Man Gets Married" The honest man got married.
