Are the Male Lead and Second Male Lead Together Again?

I.

Ji Mingzhao is the computer science department's campus heartthrob at A University. His admirers could form a line from the east side of town to the west.

He turned them all down because he was in love with his best friend.

Lu Shiye, the king of the finance department at A University.

Lu Shiye is wild and cool, an untamed rebel. His admirers could form a line from the south side of town to the north.

But he never gives them a second glance, sticking to Ji Mingzhao every day instead.

Ji Mingzhao doesn't know why. It's definitely not because Lu Shiye likes him.

Ji Mingzhao has been openly baiting him and secretly flirting with him for years, but this blockhead just doesn't get it.

At last, Ji Mingzhao can't take it anymore. He's decided Lu Shiye is straight, and he's giving up.

The very night he cut ties with Lu Shiye, they were both bound to the "Green xx Women's Romance" System. They were ordered to transmigrate into romance novels and help the heroines find happiness.

Lu Shiye had to play the male lead in every novel, while Ji Mingzhao had to play the second male lead.

In other words, Ji Mingzhao had to diligently catalyze the romance between the male and female leads, helping Lu Shiye get together with other girls.

Ji Mingzhao: ...

Lu Shiye protested. "Why?!"

System: "That's just how it is! Our novel worlds are pretty old-school. Based on reader polls, the most popular male lead is the cold, domineering type, while the most popular second male lead is the gentle, refined type. You two fit those roles perfectly!"

Lu Shiye flew into a rage. "Are you blind? My best friend is so great, he should obviously be the male lead!"

Ji Mingzhao, expressionless: This idiot is a lost cause. Write him off.

II.

To Lu Shiye, nothing in the world matters more than his best friend.

His best friend is Ji Mingzhao, who is unbelievably handsome and smart to boot.

He and Ji Mingzhao grew up together. When Ji Mingzhao was thirsty, Lu Shiye brought him water. When he was hungry, Lu Shiye brought him food. When he went to school, Lu Shiye gave him a ride on his bike. When someone bullied him, Lu Shiye beat the living daylights out of them...

Then Ji Mingzhao said he wanted to cut ties and stop being friends.

Lu Shiye panicked, and then got bound to some stupid System.

He figured he hadn't been good enough to his best friend.

Ji Mingzhao should be the male lead. The best things should all belong to his best friend.

But why couldn't he rein in his temper whenever all kinds of random people got close to Ji Mingzhao?
