The Cannon Fodder Gong Awakens

[Rewriting the old chapters. I'll unlock them as they're ready~]

System: Host, the world you live in is a danmei entertainment-industry novel.

System: You are the seductive, devoted cannon-fodder top who is a sucker for the popular protagonist in [The World's Most Hated Man Gets a System and Goes on a Crazy Fishing Spree].

Qin Ze: ?

System: To win the popular protagonist's exclusive affection, you'll turn against your own brother and sell company secrets, driving the Qin Group into bankruptcy. Your father will fall gravely ill, your mother will go gray overnight, and you still won't win the popular protagonist's love. In the end, you'll jump off a building--

Qin Ze: Enough.

What kind of brain-dead plot is this?

As one of the victims in the popular protagonist's fish pond, Qin Ze decides to give all the fish their romantic freedom.

Before long, Ziyu Entertainment launches a dating show. Not only does CEO Qin Ze take part himself, he also drags his domineering CEO brother along.

He also brings Lu Zhao, the versatile assistant who has been in love with his brother for years, only to have the popular protagonist steal the man right out from under him.

There's also the top-tier star who's snobbish and sharp-tongued, the beautiful but black-hearted fellow newcomer, the popular protagonist's gentle childhood friend and first love...

Qin "Matchmaker" Ze is having a grand time setting everyone up. Unfortunately, he gives the fish too much freedom. The dating show, which was supposed to be sweet and happy and deliver some face-slapping to the popular protagonist, turns into a chaotic battlefield.

At the much-anticipated confession ceremony, Qin Ze watches Lu Zhao approach him step by step. His heart inexplicably skips a beat, and he blurts out:

"Sister-in-law, you--"

At the title, Lu Zhao's face darkens.

The top-tier star cries out anxiously, "Who are you calling sister-in-law?!"

Qin Chuan freezes for a moment, staring at Qin Ze with a face full of question marks.

Only the onlookers behind their screens applaud.

[Aaaah, Brother Zhao is finally making a move!]

[I'm dying, the other one's already moved in, and Qin Ze still hasn't figured out which one is his sister-in-law.]

By the time the show airs, one cannon-fodder top has already been carried back to his nest by a wild beast.

The cold-faced, abstinent man who is proper and courteous in public turns out to have another side in private.

Qin Ze can't take the clinginess anymore. He struggles free, trying to catch his breath, only for the human octopus to wrap around him from behind again.

A low, magnetic voice sounds in his ear. "I'm yours, Qin Ze."

He says it again and again, never tiring of it...

After his eighteenth birthday, Qin Ze learned that he wasn't an ordinary person.

His life had been scripted from the start, and he could only follow the predetermined path, with no room to change a thing.

After learning his lesson, Qin Ze stops struggling in vain.

He thought he'd have to spend his whole life longing even for freedom, let alone anything else. He never expected fate to give him such a grand gift.

Qin Ze gives a soft laugh and hugs him back, holding him close.
