Su Wumian transmigrates into a harem novel and discovers that he's the cannon-fodder gong number five.
This is an N/P novel that packs in every kind of dramatic love triangle:
The shou protagonist is a cool, refined young master from a wealthy family, born sickly and the very picture of delicate beauty, easy to sweep off his feet. Admirers are everywhere in the book.
Gong number one is a business magnate who can turn the world upside down, and the protagonist's officially chosen fiance. His position is unshakable.
Gong number two is the entertainment industry's undisputed top-tier star. He's a flirt who sees the protagonist as his one and only white moonlight, and spends every day trying to steal him away from gong number one.
Gong number three is a renowned professor studying overseas, with a wealth of knowledge. He's the protagonist's gentle, understanding childhood neighbor, but in secret he's possessive and twisted, wanting to make the protagonist his alone.
Gong number four is a quiet, aloof, highly intelligent hacker with a dark side. The protagonist helped him when he was down and out as a youth, and ever since, he's been the protagonist's most loyal knight.
And then there's him, gong number five. He may be listed as a gong, but he barely exists. He's so poor he was orphaned by the death of both parents, and his only purpose is to make the other gongs look good.
Su Wumian: ...
Sorry to bother you. I'll just bow out.

Lin Chuhe, the only son of the wealthy Lin family, is refined, aloof, and exceptionally talented. He's an unattainable beauty in everyone's eyes.
According to the plot, the obsessive and unstable gong number one will bankrupt him. When he has nowhere else to turn, he will become the flirtatious gong number two's lover. Then gong number three, who has been plotting for a long time, will trick him into leaving. Gong number four will be too insecure to make a move, and can only protect him in silence.
Reborn, he certainly won't let the people responsible for turning him into a plaything get away with it.
But along the way, he discovers an odd little sweetie who is very much to his liking.
Unlike everyone else, who fears and avoids him, this sweetie thinks he's a delicate little white flower with a tragic past. Even though he's terrified himself, he still chooses to stand in front of Lin Chuhe and protect him.
To satisfy the sweetie's desire to protect him, Lin Chuhe hides his fangs and obediently plays the part of a frail, pitiful little white flower.
And so...
In Su Wumian's eyes:
Himself: a dependable good person saving a little white flower.
Lin Chuhe: a delicate little white flower in need of careful protection.
What everyone else sees:
Su Wumian: a pitiful little thing being toyed with by a beast.
Lin Chuhe: the beast.
