I'm the Villainous Brother of the Male Lead

Xie Junwen learned that he was the indispensable best friend of the main male lead in a novel. His main purpose was to help the male lead mistreat his wife and then win her back, before ending up with a nice seat at the wedding banquet.

He gained a golden finger: by touching someone, he could hear their inner thoughts.

He couldn't avoid the male lead's scenes of mistreating his wife. He couldn't break character, and sometimes he couldn't control his own actions.

The main male lead publicly insulted the main love interest, calling him a substitute, saying he couldn't compare to his first love, and accusing him of pretending to be innocent when he was actually a shameless tramp deep down.

Whenever this happened, Xie Junwen had to take the opportunity to humiliate the love interest and crush his dignity.

Every time he did, he felt horribly guilty. He would find the love interest in private to apologize and confess his regret, only to discover that the man wasn't as helpless and pitiful as he seemed.

[I'm just playing the dog. Does he seriously think I care about those stupid-ass words?]

The first time he heard the love interest's inner thoughts, Xie Junwen felt like the world was a little messed up.

After Xie Junwen left, the love interest sold him out completely. “Cousin, I met someone. He's pretty interesting.”

At a party, the main male lead angrily shoved the love interest away.

Xie Junwen caught the love interest, who was crying like a flower in the rain, and heard:

[He was on his knees last night begging me not to leave, and today he's gone crazy and biting people!]

[He can forget about touching me tonight, unless he's willing to play that kind of game with me.]

Xie Junwen: What kind of... game?

After he left, the love interest sold him out again. “Bro, trust me. I'm a good judge of character. You know that guy? I'll just have some fun with him. It's not like we're going to spend our lives together.”

On a cruise ship, the main male lead refused to give the love interest anything to eat, so Xie Junwen secretly brought him food in the middle of the night.

The love interest gazed at him through tearful eyes, looking grateful, while thinking:

[I ate my fill ages ago. That stupid dog isn't going to starve me.]

[Give him a little attention and he thinks he's my sugar daddy. That tiny bit of money isn't even enough for my allowance.]

Xie Junwen: “...”

Xie Junwen stoically continued playing the role of a tool.

The love interest secretly found him a future partner. “Bro, he...”

The person on the other end of the phone: “He's considerate, knows right from wrong, and he's rich, handsome, and capable. You want me to pursue him.”

The love interest: “Good. You get it.”

One day, the love interest invited Xie Junwen to dinner, saying he wanted to introduce him to someone.

When Xie Junwen arrived, he saw a familiar face. The man had a thing about cleanliness, disliked physical contact, and was the typical cold, chaste CEO.

The love interest said, “This is my cousin. He's heard you've looked after me and wanted to thank you in person.”

Xie Junwen accepted a glass of wine from the CEO and accidentally brushed his hand.

[Last time, I didn't get to kiss him enough while he was drunk. I'll have to find a way to kiss him again.]

Xie Junwen's hands shook with fright.

Cold? Chaste? Dislikes physical contact? And yet he sneaks kisses?!

Bonus scene:

Xie Junwen had never told anyone about his mind-reading ability.

The first time he and Huo Chenyu tried that sort of thing...

Huo Chenyu, dressed in a suit and radiating cold, chaste elegance, pinned him to a chair and said in a low voice, “I'll go slowly.”

[I want to f*** him to death...]

Xie Junwen: “?”

◎ The male lead sneaks kisses with the love interest early on.

◎ One-on-one pairing, both are faithful, and each is the other's first love.

◎ Please pay attention to this!

Some characters in the story will be controlled by the plot. Later, everyone will break free of it!

→ The original story of the “main male and female leads” is melodramatic, and they don't end up together.

Core theme: Always look ahead. The future will be better.
