[The Unrivaled Tang Sect] Even an Extra Deserves to Fall in Love

Also known as:

"What Am I Supposed to Do with the Villainous Young Lady's Fiancé Role?"

"You Hit My Mom, I Steal Your Man. Seems Fair, Doesn't It?"

"How Did My Wife Suddenly Turn into My Former Brother-in-Law While We Were Dating?!"

The joke version:

When he was eight, Zhu Lu had an argument with his fiancée. The next day, he received a letter from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion calling off their engagement.

Dai Huabin: If you just apologize, I'll pretend this never happened. If you don't, I'll never speak to you again!

Zhu Lu was overjoyed. What a great deal! No way was he apologizing. Hurry up and break off the engagement!

Dai Huabin: ?! You fool! You'll regret this someday!

Ten years later, they'd all made names for themselves.

Dai Huabin: It's been ten years since I agreed to break off the engagement. Has that brat Zhu Lu of the Zhu family regretted it yet?

Guard: Young Lady, Zhu Lu hasn't regretted it for a second. He's even gotten tangled up with the servant's son!

Dai Huabin: ?! Zhu Lu! What does he have that I don't? How can you be so blind to my noble White Tiger bloodline?

Zhu Lu: Former fiancée, there's something you don't know. Yuhao just so happens to be your biological younger brother!

The serious version:

Zhu Lu thought he would be nothing more than an ordinary background character, but he hadn't faded into the crowd at all. If anything, he'd lucked into a whole string of romantic entanglements, and every one of them involved a big shot!

This is how the historical records and secret annals of Douluo Dalu describe him: Zhu Lu, the second young master of the Zhu family, captivated Spirit Ice Douluo, left the Dai family princess longing for him, and was cherished by the Douluos of his era. He might humbly claim to be ordinary, but he was surely a remarkable person.

Zhu Lu: How do I explain that I really am just an ordinary background character?!

Everyone: I won't listen, I won't listen!

The pairing: Lively, irrepressible wisecracker Zhu Lu (male) × thoughtful, deft-handed, sweet-on-the-outside-and-dark-within Huo Yuhao

Author's note:

1. The title is pronounced “background character” but written as “everyone's beloved.”

2. This is a lighthearted comedy with plenty of silly ideas and no angst. Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu have both had their genders flipped: Dai Huabin (male) → Dai Huabin (female), Zhu Lu (female) → Zhu Lu (male).

3. For comedic effect, there will be lots of references and memes. It also contains a pretend sister-in-law/brother-in-law romance, so please take note of the potential triggers before reading!

Theme: Miss Dai, if you don't know how to raise a cat, let Xiao Huo do it for you.
