Gossiping on the Sidelines of a Rich Family’s Shura Field

Chi Lemman transmigrated into a book, landing in a melodramatic story about a wealthy family and a tangled love triangle.

The protagonist is a wildly popular movie star: a stunning long-haired beauty with a cool temperament and a haughty air, the very picture of an untouchable beauty.

There are four male leads, all popular heirs from wealthy families.

Chi Lemman transmigrated as a marginal member of their circle, a plot-fodder character who drifts between various rich-family gatherings. He is nominally friends with all four male leads and has become a regular fixture at their various dramatic showdowns.

Chi Lemman: Got it! I'm the chosen one, here to watch the drama unfold!

-

Chi Lemman secretly began making a daily habit of watching the drama.

The first male lead is an all-powerful business tycoon, a trailblazer building an empire. Cold and sinister, he acts aloof in public, but when no one's watching, he looks at the protagonist with a gaze that seems ready to devour him whole.

One day, Chi Lemman accidentally overheard him say to the protagonist, "I'll give you back your status as the real young master, Lili. I only want you."

Wait, the wildly popular beauty also has a real-versus-fake young master storyline!

The second male lead is a famous playboy investor in the entertainment industry, rich and handsome, with a wickedly charismatic air. He showers the protagonist with mansions and sports cars, and even plans to tailor-make an S-rank film for him.

Chi Lemman had high hopes for him, but later the film set turned into a battlefield of vicious arguments. Only then did Chi Lemman realize there wasn't a single innocent person there, and the whole mess had been custom-made by the second male lead.

Relieved that the protagonist hadn't joined the cast, Chi Lemman wandered around the set.

Yep, time for more gossip!

The third male lead is a notorious playboy among the heirs, a younger mad dog of a man. He publicly confesses his love for the protagonist and comes out for him, causing a huge scandal that everyone knows about.

One day, he asks Chi Lemman, "He still won't pay attention to me. If I lock him up, will he be mine alone?"

Chi Lemman: Yikes. That's seriously messed up.

The fourth male lead used to be the protagonist's teacher. A professor in the acting department, he wears gold-rimmed glasses and is refined in speech and manner, a perfect gentleman. He is especially gentle, polite, and indulgent toward the protagonist.

For a while, Chi Lemman thought he was the best match, until...

He found room after room in the professor's mansion filled with photos of the protagonist, packed tightly together, taken at all kinds of times and in all sorts of places.

Oh no, I'd misjudged him again.

_

Chi Lemman shipped the protagonist with everyone from the first male lead to the fourth, devoured all the rich-family gossip, and finally waited for the crucial moment.

He caught the stunning beauty after someone had drugged him.

The beauty's cheeks were flushed, his breathing uneven, tears glistening in his affectionate eyes as he stared straight at Chi Lemman.

Holding his phone, Chi Lemman trembled as he hesitated over whom to call.

"How about you choose for yourself... Mmph!"

Before Chi Lemman could finish, the beauty shoved him onto the bed.

The next day, Chi Lemman rubbed his aching lower back and suddenly realized: Wait! Isn't Wen Li the protagonist?

#Hey, this is a no-CP, career-focused progression story!

There are dramatic love-triangle showdowns, but the protagonist isn't the one being pursued.

Chi Lemman: Did I turn a career-minded guy gay? But I'm straight too!

_

All his life, Wen Li had hated those leering eyes full of undisguised desire. He'd wanted to dig them out himself and destroy the useless things between their legs.

Later, there was only one thing Wen Li cared about every day:

Why won't Chi Lemman look at me a little more?

Untouchable long-haired beauty top x dramatic gossip-loving bottom

Dark and brooding x little ray of sunshine

A little guide for readers:

* At first, the bottom is a bystander who watches the drama, digging up gossip about all four male leads and the wealthy families behind them. He secretly plays a useless wingman because he likes shipping couples.

* The top and bottom are both straight and turn each other gay. There are scenes where the bottom takes the lead. It's understandable to want to do that to the stunning beauty, but it is doomed to fail.
