Ridiculous! The Villain Is Forcing Me to Be the Savior

Blurb:

Shen Xici, 22, writes novels for a living. One moment, he was stuck on a scene; the next, he transmigrated into a book. Before he'd even gotten used to his new identity, everything went wrong...

System: "The demons are here, the sacred tree is destroyed, your parents are injured, your village chief is missing, your master is dead, and your home is about to be gone..."

A disastrous start. Shen Xici: "Uh... transmigrating into a book isn't bad. Dying isn't so bad either."

System: "Host, please find the treasure to revive the sacred tree, purify the malevolent energy, and reinforce the seal."

Shen Xici: "OK."

The sacred tree was repaired, most of the malevolent energy was removed, and the seal was reinforced. System: "Host, please find out the truth about the protagonist and help your Host clear his name."

Shen Xici: "OJBK."

His name was cleared, and the seal was reinforced. System: "Host, please fall in love with an NPC. A man."

Shen Xici: "O... what? What the hell???"

System: "Host, please kiss, hug, and sleep with the NPC."

I only save the world, I don't do guys...

System: "You can. Consequence: death."

Shen Xici: "..."

A few days later, Shen Xici climbed into his good friend Nan Musheng's bed.

Sorry, buddy, I'm being forced into this too. For the sake of my life, just put up with it...

After all that was done and the Six Realms were at peace, the country prosperous and its people safe, he thought he could go home. Then the villain showed up.

Villain: "You're doing a great job saving the world. Keep it up."

Shen Xici: "? What the hell? You're too lazy to save the world, so you deliberately became the villain to force me to do it?"

Shen Xici, serious on the outside and snarky on the inside X Nan Musheng, aloof and reserved in public but full of dirty jokes in private

Reading tips:

1. Both leads are strong.

2. Nan Musheng appears in Chapter Five.

3. Plot-driven fantasy xianxia, not cultivation, not a power fantasy, and not fluffy romance.

4. Saving the world comes first; romance comes second.

5. The author is terrible at writing blurbs and titles, and this one is completely different from the actual story. Just have fun with it.

6. This is the author's first book. The main plot is a bit vague, with lots of side plots and extensive worldbuilding. No pressure if it's not your thing.

Recommended sweet treat by a friend: "Woof! Woof Woof! Woof Woof Woof!"

Everyone at Lecheng University knows that Jiang Che from Class 3 of the Chinese Language Department is the campus dog.

He smiles at everyone, looking sweet and soft. The whole school calls him "puppy." People give him snacks as he walks by, feed him at the cafeteria, and the senior girls in the dance club compete to claim him.

He's a total heartthrob.

And then...

Because of a single photo of a white shirt and black pants in the orientation promotional video, he chased someone from the soccer field to the street-dance club, from the classroom to a bar, until the whole school knew about it.

Of all the people to chase, he went after Chen Xingji!?

Chen Xingji, the cool, quiet hip-hop idol of the dance studio, has a signature line: "I don't make friends, I don't date, and don't come near me."

Jiang Che: "Okay."

And then...

Chen Xingji left campus to go back to his apartment.

Jiang Che rushed to carry his bag. "Uh... I'm leaving campus too. It's on my way."

Chen Xingji practiced with the street-dance club.

Jiang Che brought him a towel to wipe off his sweat. "Uh... the senior told me to come ask you for advice."

Chen Xingji went to class.

Jiang Che saved him a seat and brought him breakfast. "Uh... I haven't learned this yet, so I'm sitting in."

Roommate: "Are you seriously his dog?"

Jiang Che: "You're just jealous of me."

Chen Xingji had a secret.

In high school, he'd had a crush on someone for a long time. Whenever he ate or went to class, he could see that person running back and forth around the school.

Then, in college, one night at a bar, Jiang Che pinned him against the wall and suddenly said, "I like you. I want to pursue you."

Chen Xingji swallowed. "Suit yourself..."

Jiang Che: Yes! He said I can pursue him!

Jiang Che: If he agreed to let me pursue him, doesn't that mean he likes me?
