The pure-hearted man Lu Zifeng transmigrates into the role of a wealthy CEO's fiancé. Everyone calls him a shameless seductress and looks down on him.
The CEO calls him wicked and says he'll torment him and take revenge on him for the sake of his one true love. He personally brings Lu Zifeng before his friends to humiliate him for their amusement. But when Lu Zifeng is hugged and fondled a little in a private room, the CEO immediately changes his mind and throws a tantrum.
Lu Zifeng figures that if the CEO wants to humiliate him, then fine. It's not as if he really likes the CEO. But everyone, including the CEO, thinks he's hopelessly in love with him.
When he finally completes his mission and no longer has to keep up his devoted persona, the CEO, who once claimed not to care about their engagement, clings to the engagement and refuses to let him go.
The CEO's one true love comes back, and Lu Zifeng assumes he's constantly being targeted because he's hated. But at the school anniversary celebration, the one true love hugs him and asks, "You can love him like that, so why can't you love me like that?"
The mercenary who said he would kill Lu Zifeng pins him to the car seat, grabs his leg, and asks, "You don't trust me?" One "I like you" from Lu Zifeng is all it takes for him to willingly become Lu Zifeng's loyal dog.
Lu Zifeng is dumbfounded. He only wanted to complete a mission, so how did he end up in a pursuit-to-the-crematorium situation? He thinks everyone else is acting strange, except for the aloof, chaste Dr. Xie, a flower high on an unreachable peak.

Naturally clueless, unknowingly alluring bottom vs cold on the surface, scheming and alluring top
From the moment Xie Xiuban first sees him at the club, he knows he has to make this man his, to keep him all to himself.
In the hospital room, Lu Zifeng's former fiancé is standing behind him.
Xie Xiuban isn't the sort to ask whether Lu Zifeng wants to go with him or his ex. He simply holds out both hands and asks:
"Would you like to take my left hand or my right?"
Then he watches as Lu Zifeng struggles to choose.
Giving him up was never an option.

Ongoing novel: Beta Straight Guy, Yet Everyone Wants to Win Me Over. A ridiculously dense, universally adored protagonist, with witty commentary and all kinds of rivalry-filled love triangles.
Lu Yinyue is a beta, just like all the others: ordinary, unremarkable, and without much ambition. He just wants to live a normal life.
He considers himself ordinary in every way, outwardly warm and cheerful but cold inside, with neither outstanding abilities nor good looks.
But the people around him all act a little strange.
Roommate One is the dorm leader, a handsome rich second-generation heir and a cold, popular campus heartthrob adored by omegas. Yet he's gentle only with Lu Yinyue, smiling only at him and always saying he's beautiful and looks lovely when he smiles, while forbidding him from smiling at anyone else.
Roommate Two sleeps in the bunk above him. He's a famous gaming streamer, a blond, blue-eyed mixed-race guy. He and Lu Yinyue don't get along and are always bickering, but he keeps climbing down and sneaking into Lu Yinyue's bed at night when the dorm leader isn't around.
The junior student he recently met is a cute, handsome athlete who clings to him like a big dog and loves to say, "I really like you, senpai." Lu Yinyue doesn't dislike him, but he's so clumsy that he keeps sitting on Lu Yinyue by accident or kissing him by mistake. Even in freezing weather, he'll come looking for Lu Yinyue with his shirt off.
His boss, Mr. Gu, is a heartless exploiter who is mean to everyone. Lu Yinyue does what everyone else does, flattering him and trying to please him a little, and the boss immediately wants an office romance. But Lu Yinyue just wants to be a wage slave and earn money.
Because he's just an utterly ordinary beta. Romance and being loved have nothing to do with him.
But why does it feel like everyone wants to win him over?
