What's wrong with being a simp? Keep simping long enough, and you become a simp wolf.
Zhang Shi'an was forced to play a devoted, cannon-fodder top NPC and assigned to a mash-up script combining ten stories. He would simultaneously be the loyal lackey who idolized an arrogant, rebellious school bully; the underachieving deskmate with a crush on a cool, impoverished top student; the single-minded student who depended on a gentle, conscientious teacher; the useless older brother who secretly loved his eccentric half-brother but couldn't say it out loud; and the awkward eldest son who revered his ruthless, self-serving elite father.
Five protagonists from ten books, all brought together to rehearse a group romance? Faced with this chaotic mess of relationships, Zhang Shi'an could only grit his teeth and play along, choking back tears as he gorged on their public displays of affection.
Theme: Love is something difficult to say out loud.
