Blurb:
1.
You transmigrate into a book.
Your memories tell you:
You are a vicious supporting character in a heart-wrenching, melodramatic danmei novel.
You are deeply in love with the protagonist top, and even become a substitute for the protagonist bottom. In the end, you go mad with love, relentlessly target the protagonist bottom, and ultimately meet your end in the belly of a fish.
2.
Now, you find yourself in an unexpected turn of the plot.
You were supposed to spend the night alone, but instead you turn up at a hotel and hire a... male escort?
After one night together, the System binds the two of you.
Yes, both of you.
It turns out the male escort isn't an escort at all. He's another unlucky transmigrator, a playboy second male lead from a different book.
You are forced to act out the original plot and head toward your predestined deaths.
3.
The System leaves the script behind and goes off to enjoy a publicly funded honeymoon.
On the waterbed, you and the second male lead stare at each other in silence, trying to figure out how to find a way out alive.
The plot points are strict, and you have to follow the original story to the letter.
The second male lead says:
I have an idea. Matters of the heart should be solved with matters of the heart.
A melodramatic love affair full of anguish will be just the thing to throw people off the scent after the plot points.
So, in the first world:
You get a new identity: the second male lead's widowed sister-in-law, his unrequited love.
The second male lead becomes your obsessive adoptive brother.
That day, two melodramatic dramas premiere back-to-back:
"My Unrequited Love Became My Widowed Sister-in-Law"
"My Domineering Adoptive Brother Imprisons Me and Forces Me to Love Him"
5.
The following worlds will soon be brought to the screen in this melodramatic drama lineup:
[Danmei novel] The protagonist top's adoptive father "steals" the son who married him in an arranged marriage.
[Male-pregnancy fiction] The newly appointed top scholar, the tip of his nose, and a young male stepmother.
[Xianxia novel] The Dragon-Proud protagonist's fiancee elopes with his sword spirit.
[Succession struggle novel] The refined and courteous crown prince and the emperor's male consort.
[Showbiz parenting variety novel] The divine son of an ancient village falls for a washed-up actor and his ex-husband, who is raising a child.
[...And so on...]
So, hello! Would you like a bowl of melodrama?
Reading Guide:
1. [Foxlike, sensitive, affection-starved flower-like bottom x elegant gentleman, dramatic, scheming, obsessive top]
(1v1)
2. A self-indulgent story written for my own enjoyment; amateur writing
3. The protagonists are not omnipotent or perfect. Please don't curse them, curse me instead.
4. Mostly told from the bottom's perspective
5. Third-person narration
Theme: Growing through adversity
Ah, damn it, I also want to read the follow-up to the script! Damn, this is a fate update 🥺
