Being an Ordinary Person in a Dorm Full of Protagonists

I'm an ordinary person, the kind who'd get lost in a crowd.

From childhood to adulthood, I was average-looking and had an average personality. Other than studying, I had no special talents, and there was nothing noteworthy about my family either.

After getting into college, I thought my Roommate No. 1 was as ordinary as me. Then one day I discovered that, thanks to his naturally gifted voice, he was catfishing gamers online, and the players in the game treated him like a goddess.

Roommate No. 1's WeChat was full of simps and patrons. His phone rang nonstop every day.

As his WeChat filled up with more and more simps, I noticed that Roommate No. 1, who'd originally been as average-looking as me and a little chubby, had slimmed down and become more and more handsome.

Roommate No. 2 was the shared stand-in for several powerful, wealthy men.

He often came back to the dorm late, his beautiful eyes red, as if he'd been bullied.

When the wealthy men's beloved first love returned from abroad, I thought Roommate No. 2's painful days as a stand-in would finally be over. But that first love was bound by a marriage contract he had no choice but to honor, and his betrothed had been in a car accident and become a vegetable.

The first love's admirers actually set their sights on Roommate No. 2, wanting him to marry the vegetable in the first love's place and become his wife.

As for Roommate No. 3, he had returned from a quick transmigration world.

Roommate No. 3 had been a celebrity hated by the entire internet, as well as the real young master of a wealthy family. He'd spent over a decade lost outside the family and endured plenty of hardship. Yet after the family found him, they still favored the fake young master who'd taken his place for all those years.

After returning from the quick transmigration world, Roommate No. 3 became a master of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and every other skill under the sun. He soon shot to fame in the entertainment industry, and the fake young master's schemes against him were exposed. The family members who'd treated him badly all regretted it and begged for his forgiveness.

The romantic entanglements he'd left behind in the quick transmigration world followed him back, too. It looked like his life would become a beautiful romance.

And me?

I just needed to be an inconspicuous passerby in their lives.

It's just that sometimes I couldn't stand watching those oddballs and bastards bully my roommates, so I couldn't help throwing a few punches and standing up for them.

Other than that, my life was perfectly peaceful.

I liked it that way. After graduating and starting work, I dreamed of finding a decent-paying job, buying a home in a big city and settling down, bringing my parents over, then dating a girl who liked me as much as I liked her. With both our families' blessings, we'd walk down the aisle, have children, and live an ordinary life.

So why were they all starting to notice me?
