One day, Gu Chi became self-aware and discovered that he was in a melodramatic, chaotic, everyone-loves-the-protagonist story...
As a random passerby who didn't even deserve a name.
He was Top 1's childhood friend, Top 2's archenemy, Top 3's contractual marriage partner, and the protagonist's idealized first love.
All kinds of strong, handsome tops competed to pursue the beloved protagonist, while Gu Chi got casually caught in the crossfire as they fought.
Gu Chi: Excuse me. I think I'll stay out of this mess.
Gu Chi was determined to leave the protagonist's circle of conflict as soon as possible and be an uninvolved passerby.
He took a long leave from the Esper Academy, changed his appearance, and joined an academy field team undercover
* A room you can only leave by kissing
Imagining the empty space around him, Gu Chi turned to the captain of the neighboring team, raised an eyebrow, and smiled. "Can't be helped, Captain Jiang. Looks like you'll have to kiss me."
The captain stiffened, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly as he looked at Gu Chi with barely restrained emotion.
* The pretty little bride chosen by a monster
The whole team had been enchanted by the monster. Gu Chi sighed and put on the bridal gown.
His porcelain-white arm looped around the monster's neck. Teasingly, he gently bit its lower lip. "Little monster, have you ever kissed anyone? Why are you so hot all over? Is this your first time as a groom? You seem a little nervous."
The archenemy, who had dealt with the monster ahead of time and disguised himself as one: "..."
Archenemy: Enough. Stop touching me.
Later... His teammate transformed after being controlled by a monster and lost his memories.
Facing his fierce, terrifying teammate, who looked ready to devour him whole, Gu Chi squeezed out some tears, took the man's hand, and placed it on his own soft, snow-white belly. "Honey, snap out of it! The monster's taken you over. What will happen to me? What about our baby?"
Sure that he had left the protagonist's circle behind, Gu Chi couldn't rein in his nature and flirted with every teammate around him.
But he ignored the dark, lingering gaze fixed on him from behind.

Until one day, Gu Chi realized that everyone he'd provoked was one of the protagonists he'd most wanted to avoid.
Gu Chi: ...
He died with a single crack.
That night, a low-profile team member quietly slipped into Gu Chi's room. With a lovestruck look, he pressed against Gu Chi's fragrant neck. "Deputy captain, I've been enchanted by the monster too. Could you help me like you helped those other men?"
The man, who had been about the same height as Gu Chi, suddenly grew taller, completely covering him.
Gu Chi: "Wait! ..." How can you shrink your bones?!
Can't we talk this out? Why are you grabbing my clothes?
And, protagonist's love interest, your disguise has fallen off!
Gu Chi: T-T I wanted to run, but I couldn't
Reading guide:
1. A beloved bottom and a wicked, gorgeous beauty in a love-war showdown.
2. No ambiguous flirting between the tops. My personal preference: arrogant bottoms who think they're tops, and love-struck tops who fall for them on their own.
3. No major spoilers. No beloved-top trope. The halo belongs to Gu Chi, ovo.
4. The tops are devoted in body and heart, all unrequitedly in love with the bottom. Sweet and satisfying.
