A socially anxious, lazy-to-the-bone beauty of a top who gets forced to turn things around
Shen Rong, a socially anxious homebody, wakes up inside a harem dating-show novel, cast as the vicious fourth male lead, the villainous cannon fodder everyone loves to hate.
That's right, this is a love-triangle showdown with four tops for the protagonist bottom to choose from, and Shen Rong is the only villainous cannon fodder whose job is to get face-slapped.
Shen Rong originally planned to avoid the face-slapping scenes and play an ordinary, forgettable background character on the variety show. But then he was told he'd been bound to a livestreaming System, and that he had to complete the tasks it assigned to earn the life points he needed to survive in the novel.
The lazy fourth male lead, who'd wanted to give up, was forced to "come alive."

"Um... would you like to cook with me in the kitchen?" Shen Rong asked the protagonist bottom, terrified that the burly Top One waiting outside the door would barge in.
#Can the streamer really steal the protagonist bottom away from Top One?
#If the streamer can't hold a conversation, he shouldn't say anything. This is so awkward.
To Shen Rong's surprise, the protagonist bottom politely turned Top One down and stayed to cook with him.
Stranger still, why did the protagonist bottom's hand keep brushing against his?

"I'm actually pretty interested in camping too..." This time, Shen Rong didn't even dare look up after speaking. He knew the excuse was flimsy.
#Streamer, honestly...
#It's okay, streamer. We'll comfort you when you get rejected.
"Okay."
That night, the protagonist bottom's tent was suddenly damaged, so he had no choice but to share Shen Rong's.
Stranger still, when Shen Rong woke up the next morning, his arm was wrapped around the protagonist bottom's waist!

"For tonight's activity... could you write me a letter?"
"I'll write you one too! I promise!"
But this time, the protagonist bottom didn't reply to Shen Rong for a long time.
#The streamer definitely got rejected this time, right? Poor thing...
#Don't cry, streamer. We'll pool our livestream coins to replenish your life points!
That night, four letters were stuffed into Shen Rong's mailbox.
Reader's guide:
1. The top is genuinely socially anxious and a bit of a heartthrob. Both are each other's first and only, one-on-one, mutually doting romance. Not for extreme fans of either character.
2. The protagonist bottom only likes the top, and the top only likes the protagonist bottom.
3. A little love-triangle drama.
