The Second Male Lead Quits!

Fu He was woken from his sleep by a book that had fallen from the heavens. That's how he learned that he was the second male lead in a domineering CEO romance, a lovesick fool who would end up losing his entire family and wandering in a foreign land.

He also unexpectedly learned the reason behind his name: it sounded like the word for "getting back together."

Faced with a nightmare from the start, Fu He said, "Heh."

As if he'd believe that. He trusted science.

But when his childhood friend really did look at him with red-rimmed eyes, his voice trembling as he said the very line from the story, "Brother Fu, I really was forced into it. You know how badly I need money," Fu He's worldview shattered into pieces.

He tried to do something to salvage the situation, but Wen Qing glanced at the designer knockoffs Fu He wore, bought in bulk for three pieces for fifty yuan, then clenched his teeth and turned away. With a heart full of pain, he told Fu He that he'd only agreed to the male lead's advances for money, and that his heart would always belong to Fu He alone.

Fu He: "..."

Fu He: "There's no saving him. Bury him."

Fu He has a secret that's not really a secret.

He's actually rich. The clothes he wears aren't knockoffs, either. He only made that up because he was worried Wen Qing couldn't afford to pay him back for his clothes.

Fu He also has a recent problem that's not really a problem.

For some reason, the male lead from the story is even more affectionate toward him than he is toward the story's main love interest. He's even trying to win Fu's heart with good food.

Watching the handsome man in a pink apron in his kitchen, washing his hands before cooking for him, Fu He is deeply moved. It seems that because he wisely stepped aside, his relationship with the male lead has been upgraded from rivals in love to good buddies!

Then the male lead confessed to him.

Fu He: "..." This world really has gone crazy in a way I didn't ask for.

A self-proclaimed straight top & a genuinely innocent, powerful bottom

Fu He (top) & Yan Wenzheng (bottom)

Tips:

1. HE. The bottom is the original book's male lead, and neither of them has ever had a romantic storyline with the original book's love interest.

2. Younger bottom. The bottom pursues the top at first, then they dote on each other. There will be a face-slapping scene for the scummy love interest.
