Don't Waste That Gorgeous Face on a Male-Focused Novel's Hero

Also known as "Wasn’t I Supposed to Be the Male Lead?"

Mei Xueyuan is the only android to graduate from the male-lead program. At last, after passing his test, he can begin his life as a great male lead.

The System: Baby, did you go to the wrong department? You’re supposed to be next door in the everyone-loves-you program.

Mei Xueyuan’s System shows no errors, so he refuses to switch.

But the plot requires him to hurt a human, which goes against his core principles. So he replaces the stabbing with a slap that won’t actually cause any harm.

The plot limps along, but… why does this human smile instead of hitting him back after being slapped?

The System: Hah. Baby, I’m afraid he’ll lick your hand.

Mei Xueyuan can’t understand why humans would have that kind of fetish.

He decides to ask the villain for an explanation, but accidentally wanders into the basement of his home. There, he finds photographs of himself covering the walls, with his missing personal belongings neatly arranged beside them.

The villain emerges from the shadows behind him and says darkly, “You dare come here alone. Are you that eager to die?”

Mei Xueyuan doesn’t understand. There’s no point to this. He isn’t really human, and he isn’t alive.

The villain hates how little Mei Xueyuan cares about his own life. He lunges at him and bites his lip.

System assessment: No reason for this behavior.

After a long while, the villain lets him go. Mei Xueyuan’s face takes on an expression that imitates confusion. “Why did you do that? Were you trying to use the lip balm on my lips? As far as I know, you have more than enough money to buy your own.”

The villain: ???

The System: …

Unable to resist, it checks Mei Xueyuan’s graduation results from the male-lead program
