The Protagonist's Strongest Backup Is Here [Book Transmigration]

[A transmigrated-into-a-book, formidable big shot's devoted fan bottom x a reborn original-novel top pretending to be a sweet green tea]

Shang Nanxing, a renowned angel investor in the industry, was obsessed with an upgrade-style novel.

Its protagonist, Su Yan, had breathtaking looks that everyone praised.

He was also brilliant and ambitious, a flawless lead who excelled in every way.

But one day, the plot suddenly took a sharp turn, and Su Yan began suffering one string of coercive advances after another.

Shang Nanxing, a career-focused fan of the protagonist, was blindsided by the heart-wrenching plot: ...?

Shang Nanxing: It feels so powerless knowing I can't slap a fictional character through the page from the real world.

That was why Mr. Shang opened a forum for the first time, only to discover that he had been reading a tragic beauty novel. Not only was the protagonist Su Yan being hounded by all kinds of domineering young masters, but the author had also changed genres halfway through and cut a huge chunk of his career storyline.

Shang Nanxing: Thanks for asking. I'm at the office and just opened a forum. Feeling great so far, and ready to unbox the author :D

But an unexpected turn came sooner than his long-awaited revenge. When an intelligent life-form calling itself the "System" bound him and dragged him into another world, the legendary angel investor calmly rolled up his sleeves. Not bad. Not everyone gets the chance to land a cross-dimensional slap, no matter how far away the target is. :-)

Su Yan hated being praised for his looks more than anything.

Because of this face, people coveted him and tried to possess him, while ignoring every bit of effort he put in. His envious rivals attributed all his achievements to his appearance, while those with ulterior motives schemed to erase everything he had accomplished so they could turn him into a plaything in their hands.

After enduring so much, Su Yan opened his eyes again and discovered that he had been reborn in his student days. Shang Nanxing had praised his appearance without hesitation, so Su Yan had no doubt that he was one of the people who had tried to possess him in his previous life.

Just as Su Yan finished laying his plans and waited to see what methods Shang Nanxing would use to mix kindness with intimidation, Mr. Shang slapped the school bully and his mother so hard in full view of everyone that they spun like tops!

Shang Nanxing: Woohoo!

Su Yan: ...?

Is this really the right way to be so straightforward and violent?

- Little scene 1:

System monitoring: A marked individual has been approaching the protagonist every day.

Shang Nanxing: This one is deep and cunning, thinking several moves ahead. He must not be allowed to stay!

System monitoring: Our company has received negative information about the protagonist.

Shang Nanxing: He's trying to sow discord and exploit an opening. He must not be allowed to stay!

System monitoring: The protagonist has disappeared. The list of marked individuals last seen nearby is as follows:

Shang Nanxing: ...I no longer care who's right or wrong. May heaven and earth perish with us!

System monitoring: The company we're about to partner with has a legal representative whose name matches the protagonist's. Calculating current market value...

Shang Nanxing: Wow, that's a long string of numbers. That's my protagonist, all grown up and thriving!

The people he was targeting: ...

The System: ...

Dear, we detect that you're being a bit of a hypocrite here~

- Little scene 2:

Su Yan had received plenty of favors and threats, but nothing had happened yet. He felt that something wasn't quite right. Just as he steadied his wavering heart and decided that Shang Nanxing must have some impressive methods, he looked around and realized there was a whole row of people getting the same treatment as him!

Su Yan: ...?!?!

...He remembered that Shang Nanxing had once complimented his looks. That meant he liked him... right?

So Su Yan carefully hid his intense, twisted possessiveness and took advantage of the very asset that had caused him so much trouble. Turning to Shang Nanxing with a pitiful, aggrieved look, he wrapped his arms around his waist.

"Sir, they're bullying me."

Years later, everyone knew that Su Yan, the rising star of the industry, had both looks and a thriving career. The mysterious investor backing him was so intimidating that anyone who coveted Su Yan was afraid to cross the line. He was the very picture of a winner in life.

Plenty of people were jealous and called him a pretty boy who'd risen on his looks.

"He's just a pet canary. Who knows when the big shot behind him will get bored and want something new?"

Su Yan smiled with the dignified air of a gentleman, as if he took it as a compliment. Meanwhile, he crushed to pieces the little business cards that people had tried to sneak to Shang Nanxing, advertising highly paid and excellent-value canary positions.

No one knew that, though everything seemed to be within Su Yan's grasp, every night he hid in a dark room and reverently, fervently kissed the collar of the shirt he had kept hidden.

"Sir."

"Please love me."

Shang Nanxing happened to pass by: "?"

Reading guide:

1. Two strong leads, 1v1, HE, a feel-good transmigration-into-a-book story with a System and a healing romance.

2. This could also be called The Ultimate Supporter Has a Serious Fear of Not Having Enough Firepower and The Years My Host Spent Battling with Thin Air.

3. Important: both leads are each other's one and only. In the original story, before the protagonist was reborn, he came close to being forced into a relationship, but it never happened.

(I'm stockpiling advance reservations before starting the next work. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites. Love you all, mwah~)

Theme: A shining soul that refuses to bow to others is destined to bloom.
