Can a Fake Cannon Fodder and a Fake Pretty Boy Get a Happy Ending?

+++My next novel will be Welcome to a Day in the Life of a Broke Guy Who Insists on Being a Kept Man. The blurb is below.

Past life and present life / childhood friend who appears out of nowhere / fake second-chance romance

Fake aloof, actually obsessive top student gong x independent, beautiful, strong, and tragically unlucky fake-vase shou

Zhu Yi is a cold, brilliant student from the world of Beautiful Campus, with a broken home and an otherworldly face. But a cannon-fodder gong can only be cannon fodder, and the second male lead can only be the second male lead.

Qi Sisi is the transmigration bureau's resident pretty face. He has nothing but his looks, yet he keeps failing. After messing up over a thousand worlds in a row, the bureau orders that he'll be erased if he fails one more time.

-

Qi Sisi can't understand why such a great character is only allowed to be cannon fodder. Even less can he understand why the final world's mission is to make a top student fail the college entrance exam.

To drag a good student off his pedestal as quickly as possible, Qi Sisi, a pretty face, has nothing to rely on but his looks.

And the fastest, easiest way to tank a good student's grades is obviously to make him fall in love young!

"Zhu Yi, I like you!"

Qi Sisi shouts it out on a crowded street. His four-word confession rings with righteous conviction.

Zhu Yi, the cold, aloof top student known at school for being all business, freezes in place, then smiles like a spring breeze. "Sure."

"Yeah, I know it's normal for you to turn me down, but I... Huh?"

-

The confession goes off without a hitch, and they even end up living together.

Wasn't he supposed to be an aloof heartthrob?! Then who is this guy who gets down on his knees every day to help me put on my shoes?!

After Qi Sisi starts living like a dream, with someone bringing him food when he's hungry, a pillow when he's tired, and even taking care of his underwear laundry, the System can't take it anymore.

[Think about what happens if you fail the mission! You'll be erased!]

Qi Sisi, who has already given up: "System, is this mission legit? Is he supposed to be a cannon-fodder gong or my husband?"

-

Completely caught up in Zhu Yi's sweet affection, Qi Sisi doesn't care at all when someone tells him his all-around perfect boyfriend isn't as simple as he seems.

"Yes, I know he's not simple. Otherwise, how could he support me all by himself?"

The side character who meant well: ...

Then one day, Qi Sisi opens the door to another room in the house and unexpectedly finds that it's full of photos of himself.

Every kind of picture, all showing versions of himself he has never seen before, covers the entire wall.

Zhu Yi panics, his usual calm and composed demeanor completely gone.

Qi Sisi frowns. Wait, does this mean the cannon-fodder gong I've been racking my brain to seduce has actually been in love with me for ages?

-

Can a fake cannon-fodder and a fake pretty face still get a happy ending together?

Of course they can.

-

1. Both are each other's one and only, in body and heart. The gong has no romantic storyline with the original novel's shou, so don't worry, OvO.

2. Little Zhu's studies are not harmed in the slightest, so don't worry, qaq.

3. This is my personal thing. I love writing gongs who take care of shous, including but not limited to food, clothing, housing, and transportation. If that's not your thing, proceed with caution.

Here's a preview of my upcoming novel!

+++Starting after the New Year

Seven-year age gap | mutually devoted | atypical kept man | long-planned scheme x spoiled by affection

His family goes bankrupt right after his college entrance exams, and his carefree adoptive parents run off. Millions in debt fall out of the sky, leaving Yun Shile, a boarding student who has been cut off from the world, completely dumbfounded.

All of City A is waiting to laugh at the adopted son. Yun Shile smiles on the outside and curses them as idiots inside. Obviously. Only an idiot wouldn't run.

Before he can make his escape, the creditors team up and bundle him off to a bar. Making him earn money to pay off his debt is secondary. They mostly want to watch the young master endure humiliation, dressed as a woman, no less.

-

As a study-content creator, Yun Shile makes full use of his initiative, abandons his usual study channel, and starts a new account: "Welcome to a Day in the Life of a Bankrupt Young Master Working Off His Debt in Women's Clothes."

The rich second-generation villains who bully him have to be shown in the video.

He can't show himself wearing women's clothes from head to toe.

He originally planned to pay off his debt by making social media content. But after witnessing someone "borrowing a tiger's prestige," Yun Shile has a sudden thought: Why hadn't he realized he could find himself a powerful backer?

-

Shang Mingyu, 25, male, originally from City A. He was once a rich second-generation layabout, but unexpectedly struck gold when he tried his hand at starting a business in college. He's now a bona fide rising star in the business world.

He's always kept himself above reproach. He's never been interested in women, or men, for that matter.

More importantly, he's the son of the family next door to Yun Shile's childhood home, an older childhood friend he hasn't seen in years.

-

Shang Mingyu's name is useful enough that the people who used to bully Yun Shile have only heard of him without seeing him. After a while, they can't help but grow suspicious.

Villain A: "Didn't you say you'd gone to Shang Mingyu? Where is he?"

Villain B: "You dare lie to us, you little brat? You'll regret it."

Villain C: "Hahahaha, Shang Mingyu? He's a million miles away."

Just then, at the entrance to a gloomy, dim alley, a stretch Maybach pulls up with pinpoint accuracy. Shang Mingyu steps out in an impeccably tailored suit, his gleaming leather shoes bright enough to blind every villain there.

Yun Shile, who had been debating whether to start a livestream to protect himself, doesn't care why Shang Mingyu has shown up. He lifts his skirt and throws himself down beside Shang Mingyu's legs. When he looks up, tears are already in his eyes. "Boss! Mr. Shang! Hubby! Master! They're all bullying me!"

Shang Mingyu, who has just learned that his childhood friend's family has gone bankrupt, rushed over in a flurry, and now finds himself watching the person he loves livestreaming in women's clothes: ...

-

After paying off Yun Shile's millions in debt and putting him up in his own home, Shang Mingyu tells him to come to him first if he runs into any trouble.

He makes a point of adding, "You don't need to call me all that. Just call me Brother like a good boy."

Having already put himself in the position of a kept man, Yun Shile refuses to let Shang Mingyu be so generous without getting anything in return. He starts undoing his buttons, ready to fulfill his duties, but the zipper on his dress is too high, so he has to ask Shang Mingyu for help.

Shang Mingyu rubs his forehead. "...You don't have to do this."

Yun Shile looks grief-stricken. "It's fine, go ahead! I can't let you get nothing out of this!"

Sure, he's straight, but he's worth several million a night! Totally worth it!

The next afternoon, Yun Shile grits his teeth through the discomfort as he packs his things, wanting nothing more than to bundle himself up and get out of the Shang home.

-

Yun Shile settles into his role, spends Shang Mingyu's money with a clear conscience, and suddenly comes up with a new content niche.

His study channel becomes a bankruptcy channel, and before long it turns into a kept-man channel: "Welcome to a Day in the Life of a Bankrupt Young Master Who Insists on Being a Kept Man."

Less than ten minutes after he posts it, the platform harshly takes down the video for "promoting improper values."

Yun Shile is furious. He contributed his own backside to come up with this topic. How can he just give up?

He's determined to make a living as a content creator!

-

1. An overbearing, wildly confident gong who spoils his lover without hesitation x a bratty young master shou who takes full advantage of being spoiled
