#Top x Bottom#
In a harem novel, the cannon-fodder gong is the young protagonist shou's senior from when he first enters the world of the occult.
A villainous older senior who's spent years immersed in the occult, the cannon-fodder gong is famously arrogant and hypocritical, with such a terrible reputation that the other gongs wrinkle their brows and curse their luck just hearing his name.
But the protagonist shou, a little saintly do-gooder, happens to fall into his hands and is put through the wringer. The other gongs can't save him, so all they can do is curse the cannon-fodder gong with venom.
The protagonist shou's classmate, one of the potential love interests: When is Yue Lian going to die already? Hasn't that old geezer's corruption been getting worse for years? He's still bouncing around every day. What a drag.
A genius from a prestigious family, potential love interest two: Tsk. Once Yue Lian dies, I can take over his junior smoothly. I don't know how someone as upright as him ended up with such a vicious senior.
A potential love interest three, in the same year as the cannon-fodder gong: Hah. I'll just wait and see. Someone like him is bound to meet a terrible end.
Everyone hopes the cannon-fodder gong will leave the stage soon, so the little saint can be saved.
But in the saintly shou's heart, there's always been a secret, unspeakable thought.
The cannon-fodder gong enjoys watching the saintly shou struggle in the mire. As a self-proclaimed thrill-seeker, he always curls his lips into a smirk and shows up when the other man is at his most wretched, pointing and commenting while squatting beside him and eating bright red strawberries.
Don't get the wrong idea: the cannon-fodder gong just likes strawberries, and the more expensive they are, the more he likes them.
The sweet juice moistened his cruel lips.
The protagonist shou, collapsed on the altar and covered in blood, looked at the cannon-fodder gong. His whole body was numb with pain, his senses failing. In a daze, he felt strawberry juice splatter across his face.
Those lips that always sneered at him hypocritically carried a strange sweetness. Their fragrance slowly drew his gaze, making his heart race for no reason and stirring feelings he found shameful and loathsome.
Once, twice, three times.
At last, the saintly shou understood: he wanted to have a taste.
Without the other potential love interests noticing, the saintly shou became twisted.
The potential love interests were still waiting for karma to catch up with the cannon-fodder gong, making all sorts of threats, but they didn't notice when the cannon-fodder gong started looking at them like they were idiots.
Then they realized they really were idiots.
Because the cannon-fodder gong was pregnant!
The potential love interests: !!!
Wait, what???
The cannon-fodder gong smiled with narrowed eyes, a deadly grin on his face. "You dumbasses, it's the saintly shou's."
The world turned upside down!
The potential love interests watched as the protagonist shou, who should have hated the cannon-fodder gong and regarded him as his mortal enemy, fussed over him and spoke to him gently, as if he wanted to hold him in his arms.
Looking back in astonishment for the first time, they realized: the hypocritical, arrogant, ruthless older cannon-fodder gong was actually... still quite the catch.
PS: Former universally hated, now universally adored, villainous older senior cannon-fodder gong shou VS a saintly, universally adored gong who goes mad in silence and is drawn to his senior
