As a Minor Character Who Transmigrated Into a Book, I Decline the Protagonists' Love Triangle

Unlimited inline comments are now open, so I'm sending everyone heart signs!!

A socially anxious, easygoing, softhearted transmigrated-into-a-book bottom × a clingy, obsessive, reborn top who knows how to act cute

Blurb:

After Xie Zhao dies, he transmigrates into a novel as a minor character who happens to share his name.

The minor character has few scenes and little contact with the protagonists, and is nowhere near the main plot. He's also the wealthy young master of a family with a fortune, though his health is a little poor.

So, besides deciding to lie flat like a lazy fish, minor character Xie Zhao gives himself another little goal: live to be a hundred.

But on his very first day of kindergarten, he meets a little boy named Wen Ye, the same age and with the same name as the novel's beloved white moonlight.

Xie Zhao: ...

Xie Zhao thinks this makes no sense. There are so many people with the same name. How can he be sure this Wen Ye is that Wen Ye?

The future is uncertain, and we are all minor characters until proven otherwise.

As Xie Zhao secretly tests him, hoping to preserve the purity of his minor-character status, his everyday interactions keep changing his opinion of Wen Ye.

The white moonlight in the book is aloof, solitary, extremely fond of sweets, and never speaks to anyone.

But the Wen Ye before him is lively, sociable, unserious, and fond of acting cute. He hates every kind of candy except dark chocolate and can't stay quiet for more than three seconds.

The white moonlight has a mole on his waist, but none on his face.

Wen Ye has a mole on his face, but none on his waist.

Xie Zhao tests him at every turn, trying to put his doubts to rest, but as they spend day after day together, all sorts of feelings begin to bloom.

The person in the book is not the person before his eyes.

He is Wen Ye, the one in Xie Zhao's heart.

**

In his previous life, Wen Ye died on the day his so-called best friend got married. The narrow alley was filled with a stench, garbage, and rats.

Looking back on his twenty-seven years of life, Wen Ye thought that a child who had crawled out of a garbage heap had somehow ended up dying in one, too.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the days before he was adopted from the orphanage.

Faced with Lu Xiao, who was desperately begging him to give up his spot for adoption, Wen Ye scoffed and personally sent him out to the luxury car waiting at the entrance.

Without Wen Ye to take his place in death this time, who knew if Lu Xiao could still end up with Lu Shengyuan, like he had in his previous life?

Unexpectedly, Wen Ye found a few things different from his past life.

For instance, he himself was adopted by another couple and set on a new path in life.

And then there was Xie Zhao, the transfer student who joined his kindergarten class partway through the term.

The sickly heir of the Xie family, rumored to have died young in Wen Ye's previous life.

Xie Zhao is reserved, socially anxious, and in poor health, yet also mischievous and full of offbeat remarks. He's like a chirping sparrow, or a flower that might fall at the first sign of a storm.

At first, Wen Ye thinks, how interesting.

Later, Wen Ye thinks, I like him so much.

At the moment everything finally settles into place,

Wen Ye presses him into a corner, breathing in the scent of herbs as he covers the other's bright red eyes.

"Zhaozhao, let me kiss you."

-- Upcoming story 1: "Food Poisoning Led Me to a Happy Ending with My Senior" --

An energetic, reliable, talkative bottom × a cold, chaste, taciturn top

On the first day of the semester at Z University, Yan Sui's mind was foggy from food poisoning. In front of a crowd, he tackled an innocent passerby and kissed him on the mouth.

Yan Sui: ...

Handsome guy: ...

Onlookers: Ooh!

The handsome guy was Gu Wang, a sophomore civil engineering major, a straight-A academic champion with a perfect 4.0 GPA, and the number one man on the school's untouchable list on its forum for two years running.

Yan Sui picked up a gift and headed over to apologize, while frantically rehearsing his apology in his head.

After he arrived, his senior was so kind that he even offered him water. Yan Sui marveled that his senior was handsome and kind, while knocking on his head and wondering if he had been poisoned again.

Otherwise, why was a scene of his senior lifting his shirt to show off his eight-pack while playing basketball appearing before his eyes?

The words "there's poison in the water" and "my senior saved me" were fighting in Yan Sui's foggy brain. His language system crashed, and under Gu Wang's puzzled gaze, he managed to blurt out four words.

Gu Wang harmed me.

Gu Wang: ...?

This junior is sick.

**

Everything changed the day he accidentally kissed his junior.

First came a strange burning sensation on his wrist and fingertips, then the sudden increase in a chili pepper's heat, which returned to normal the next second. Finally, images appeared before his eyes for no apparent reason.

Sometimes it was a corner of a garment, sometimes a book, and sometimes a cat meowing and refusing to let anyone near.

After a string of strange events, Gu Wang finally concluded that he was sharing fragments of memory with someone.

Unable to find a solution, the two became each other's privacy watchdogs and agreed on three rules:

# No asking why

# No saying weird things in public

# Absolutely no drinking

Gu Wang, upon seeing the third rule: ?

"I'm worried you can't hold your liquor." Facing his housemate's puzzled look, Yan Sui tried to sound calm. "You don't want to let something slip while drunk."

Gu Wang said he understood.

On their first day living together, Gu Wang won his housemate's heart with his incredible cooking and lost dishwashing privileges for the next month.

On the second day, Yan Sui accidentally let slip that he had deliberately plotted to get a taste of Gu Wang's cooking. He was mercilessly punished and lost his right to request spicy chicken feet.

On the 345,678th or so day of living together, Gu Wang could tell from the shape of Yan Sui's mouth, without him saying a word, which dish the kid was about to name.

Before he even graduated, Gu Wang had picked up a part-time job as a chef.

"This will look amazing on your resume!" said Yan Sui, who drove a Maybach and ran errands for Gu Wang in exchange. "Look at me. I could write: Excellent adaptability and extensive teamwork experience."

Adaptability: Always finds whatever's needed, no matter the time or place.

Teamwork: Can't find his way around and doesn't use navigation. He gets by through a spiritual connection with Gu Wang.

Gu Wang: ...

It's fine. He already knew his junior was sick.

**

The "Wang" in Gu Wang's name means wishful thinking, and also thinking too little of yourself.

A top student who had made his way out of a poor county, he liked no one and loved no one. He thought he would keep walking alone like this.

Until one day, someone hugged him and said: "It's the 'hope' kind of wang."

Not a burden, but a hope.

If Gu Wang were a rat in a gutter, then he ought to stay in his place forever, never wishing for something that wasn't his.

But he's a living, breathing person. He has his own moon that he wants to strive toward.

1. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first, happy ending.

2. The top is quiet, not actually mute.

3. Everyday romance.

4. The blurb may change.

5. More to come if I think of anything.

-- Upcoming story 2: "I Woke Up to Find My Childhood Friend Had Turned into a Dog" --

Also known as "I Got a Happy Ending with My Childhood Friend After Seeing the Comments"

A slow-witted bottom who loves studying and tries to turn his childhood friend straight × a lovesick dog top who only wants to bite people and thinks about his partner all day

On the first day of summer vacation, before Qi Songjin could even be happy, a bicycle slammed into him and sent him to the hospital.

Good news: Just a few minor scrapes, nothing life-threatening.

Bad news: His brain was damaged, and every so often he could see strange comments floating in the air.

Qi Songjin kept up the pretense of being normal and studied hard, hoping to get into a good university and change his fate.

Then one day, he woke up to find the comments going wild.

[Things have gotten this far and you still don't dare kiss him? Liao Fengzhu, I salute your self-control!]

[Kiss him, kiss him, kiss him already! If you don't, you're a dog!]

[Liao Fengzhu: Woof.]

[Brother Liao's been a dog for eighteen years already. What could he possibly be afraid of?]

[Hey, maybe he really is a dog spirit. Why else would he be so obedient?]

[His wife says jump and he doesn't even ask how high, but Liao Dog doesn't act like that when he argues with the old man!]

Qi Songjin: ...?

What dog?

After being straight for sixteen years, Qi Songjin suddenly found out his childhood friend liked him, and his head started spinning.

**

During Truth or Dare, Qi Songjin described his ideal type.

Someone who loves studying, a good person, a human being.

Liao Fengzhu, unable to sleep in the middle of the night, counted on his fingers, choking back tears as he went over it five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten times. He realized he only matched the last one.

A human being.

Good news: He matched one of the criteria.

Bad news: Every human being matched that one.

Seeing the obstacles on the road to love, a desperate Liao Fengzhu climbed Mount Xiaolu at night, praying for a shooting star to fall from the sky and help him succeed.

But he didn't see a shooting star. On his way down the mountain, he saw a ghost.

The ghost claimed to be a performance artist, determined to give his life for art. He said the heavens had guided him to go out at night.

Looking at his getup, frightening enough to scare someone to death, Liao Fengzhu suddenly understood.

The difference between humans and other living things is that humans have the ability to act on their own initiative.

If the great Master Jiang Si of the cosplay world could disguise himself as any object, then so could he.

Content warnings:

1. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first, happy ending.

2. A story about two sweethearts working hard at their studies and making progress together.

3. Everyday romance, they get together as adults.

-- Upcoming story 3: "My Wife Doesn't Seem to Be Human" --

A human-hating, diligent food-hoarding bottom × a chatty, delusional top

As a red panda, Chu Lezhi's lifelong wish is to fill a whole forest with food and win his family's title of King of the Hoarders!

But one day, after he comes home from shopping, he finds the tree has fallen, his home is gone, and every last bit of his food has disappeared.

Chu Lezhi is furious.

Just let him catch whichever brat did this!!

**

As the only young master of Yisheng Entertainment, Bian Ce is tall, long-legged, and handsome, a true child of destiny.

But he has one fatal flaw: he's not very bright.

While his brothers study, he climbs walls. While his coworkers work, he interrupts them. When his boss serves himself food, he spins the table.

After repeatedly being told to bring his parents in, getting picked on, and finally being fired with N+1 compensation, Bian Ce made a run for it.

He fled three thousand kilometers from G City, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, and became an extra in Shudian.

A bloated corpse in a crime drama? He'd do it!

A passerby caught skipping class in a school drama? He'd do it!

A merchant whose family is wiped out in a costume romance? He'd do it!

At last free to pursue his dream of collecting every one of the 360 different occupations by working as an extra, Bian Ce thought it was absolutely fantastic!

The only problem was that his little fan seemed a bit too clingy. Wherever he went, the other guy followed.

The little fan was named Chu Lezhi. He was fair and clean, a good cook, and gentle. Most importantly, his looks fit Bian Ce's tastes extremely, extremely well.

Bian Ce's head grew dizzy by the day. He thought, He's gone to all this trouble for me. I definitely can't disappoint Lezhi's feelings.

Wife! Here I come!

**

As the only red panda in a hamster family, Chu Lezhi didn't own much. Aside from a small Western-style house in the old district of City D, all he had was an unvisited patch of forest on the outskirts.

To make a living, Chu Lezhi worked all kinds of odd jobs.

Forest ranger, makeup artist, flyer distributor, mascot performer. He spent nearly every waking hour of the day working.

Who knew he'd run into the same handsome but seemingly brainless guy everywhere he went: Bian Ce.

Chu Lezhi didn't like crowds and always wished he could turn invisible whenever they met. But that man just kept coming over, calling him "little fan" over and over, and eventually even using his nickname.

Imagining Bian Ce's nonstop chatter in the form of some lettuce, Chu Lezhi was furiously pulling the leaves apart and getting ready to heat up the oil when a voice suddenly came from behind him:

These nuts are just as good as the ones I found in the forest.

Chu Lezhi had accidentally poured in half a pot of oil. He fell silent.

What nuts?

Where did you find them?

Bian Ce was still grinning foolishly, while Chu Lezhi's murderous intent began to grow.

Human, whose nuts did you find??

Content warnings:

1. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first, happy ending.

2. Lezhi is a red panda. Who wouldn't want to pet a red panda?

3. Revised 2025.1.24
