The Cannon-Fodder Straight Guy Refuses to Be Seduced by the Dragon-Proud Protagonist

After dying from overwork, office worker You Changhai wakes up inside the Long Aotian novel he had only read halfway before bed, becoming a full-fledged man-loving man. The protagonist, Ji Xingzhou, is peerlessly handsome, exceptionally gifted, loyal and devoted, and irresistible to both men and women. The original owner, meanwhile, was a cannon-fodder gay man so infatuated with the male lead that he would stop at nothing to get him. In the end, the male lead swiftly cut him down and turned him into a eunuch. You Changhai clutched his head and screamed in horror, "Nooooo!!" Life is unpredictable. When he transmigrated, his hand was on the male lead. He lowered his head. The male lead was glaring at him through gritted teeth. Start over, kid. Just start over. From that day on, Ji Xingzhou noticed that the dead-set gay man seemed like a different person. He had suddenly learned about propriety and shame, and stopped pestering him. A servant set a delicious-looking meal of three dishes and a soup in front of him. "Ji Xingzhou, these are the leftovers the young master couldn't finish. You can have them." "Ji Xingzhou, the young master has no use for this red jade. You can have it." "The young master has no use for this sect recruitment slot, either. You can have it." "And he has no use for this deed of sale. You can have it." As he was leaving, Ji Xingzhou looked at the pile of luggage and decided he ought to go see him. You Changhai was alarmed. He patted his chest and assured him, "I really don't like men anymore. Just think of these things as my apology for how disrespectful I was before." "Oh." Ji Xingzhou didn't seem pleased. "Then what kind of person do you like?" "Gentle and virtuous, the delicate, sheltered sort." Ji Xingzhou fell into thought. Extra scene: "You went to see the Shen family's daughter again?" You Changhai nodded cautiously, feeling inexplicably guilty. "Miss Shen has been practicing with weapons since she was a child. She's not your type, and she can't cook as well as I can." You Changhai: But that's not what the original story said?? "D-do you like her? Don't worry, I won't go see her again." "I don't like her. I'm not close to her." Ji Xingzhou said it as if making casual conversation. "Someone like you is... passable, I suppose." "I have a few younger sisters who look a bit like me, and they're around your age. Want to meet them?" "...No, thanks." Ji Xingzhou: When will he go back to being gay? I shouldn't have acted like some chaste, virtuous man in the first place T^T When someone gets desperate enough, they might even want to take an aphrodisiac and pretend to lose control.

Even if he's flirtatious, a hypocrite, and always scrutinizing everyone with a critical eye, he still deserves to be loved. Adoptive older brother vs. love interest Love interest: "Hello." Adoptive older brother, aka his childhood sweetheart: "There may be a little misunderstanding between you two. We grew up together and we're very close. He's just enthusiastic; he's like that with all his friends. We're very close, so you should probably keep your distance. He really likes me..." Love interest: "..." Green tea rival vs. love interest Green tea rival: "I know I don't have a chance anymore, but I still want to do something for him. I can do his laundry or cook for him." Just kidding. When you let your guard down, I'll take your place. Love interest: "He can't get used to anyone else's cooking, and he doesn't like other people touching his personal clothes. You should go, sir." He takes out last night's clothes and starts washing them. Everyone argues, nearly coming to blows. But Xia Yao swears before them all, "I only love Yan Kuo. I want to be with him forever." Yan Kuo is born into a distinguished family. He's handsome, highly skilled, and upright in character. He never imagined he would fall for a promiscuous fox demon. It's never too late to mend one's ways, and the good outweighs the bad. The past wasn't entirely his fault, either. Holding the person in his arms, Yan Kuo is so tender and happy that he believes Xia Yao has truly turned over a new leaf. But before long, Xia Yao rekindles things with his old flames, and Yan Kuo is left with egg on his face. "We're together now." Yan Kuo blocks Xia Yao, who is about to head out, and insists, "You can't go see anyone else anymore." Xia Yao gives him a helpless kiss. "There, happy? I'm just playing around with them. You and I are the real thing." Yan Kuo can't hold back any longer. "If you can't change, then I'll change you myself." Staring at the locked door, Xia Yao finally realizes: he's really, truly in over his head! Reader's Guide: 1. A flirtatious, amorous fox demon bottom x an upright, proper top from a distinguished family. The top is inexperienced, the bottom isn't; age gap, with the top younger. 2. Readers who are particular about pairings, beware. You'll see the bottom act fickle, because that's just who he is. You'll also see the top repeatedly catch him doing wrong, but keep believing he'll change. He's blinded by love. 2025.8.5 Theme: Cherish the person by your side
