The Cannon Fodder Seme Only Wants to Raise Someone Else's Wife

When Jiang Wanshi was twenty-five, he married someone.

His spouse was He Ci: gentle and beautiful, but in poor health, with both legs disabled. Jiang Wanshi cherished him like the most precious thing in the world, wanting to touch him but never daring to.

On his twenty-sixth birthday, he came home and found He Ci lying in the bathtub, covered in blood and long since dead.

Jiang Wanshi died too.

Only after his death did he learn that he was a cannon-fodder male supporting character in a book, and He Ci was the book's protagonist uke.

At fifteen, He Ci would have both legs broken and be left disabled. At eighteen, he would meet his destined protagonist seme at his graduation banquet. After a one-night stand, the two would gradually fall in love and eventually live happily ever after.

So... He Ci died because being with him went against the story's intended plot, right?

Before he could make sense of it all, he was reborn in his first year of high school.

Jiang Wanshi made up his mind: in this life, to protect He Ci's life, he wouldn't get involved with him romantically!

All he wanted was for He Ci to stay healthy and get into college without a hitch. Nothing else mattered.

When Jiang Wanshi found He Ci, he wasn't disabled yet, and he was anything but gentle.

The boy's face was covered in bruises, and his beautiful eyes burned with hostility. His long hair brushed lightly against the face of the thug beneath his foot. He smiled faintly. "Want to die?"

Jiang Wanshi: "!!!"

So cool O.O

The next second, reinforcements arrived for the thugs.

Before He Ci could make a move, a handsome boy stepped in front of him and shouted angrily, "Nobody move! I've already called the police!"

The thugs scattered like birds and beasts. He Ci said awkwardly, "I don't like owing people favors. Tell me what you want."

The next moment, he saw the boy looking at him with red-rimmed eyes as he said softly, "Then could you stop getting into fights?"

He Ci: "."

Annoyed, he gave a careless hum.

Who knew that after that, whenever he was in danger, that big fool would suddenly appear and stand in front of him?

After that, He Ci rarely got hurt.

He also learned the big fool's name: Jiang Wanshi.

Not only that, fresh fruit, beautiful clothes, and brand-new books would be left outside his home...

And on his birthday, which no one had ever celebrated, he came home exhausted after a long shift to find Jiang Wanshi crouching at his door, covered in bug bites and holding a beautiful, delicate cake. Grinning foolishly, he said, "Happy birthday, He Ci."

Jiang Wanshi had always believed he had hidden his crush well. He did his best to protect He Ci and make sure he could get into the university of his choice without a worry.

Then came graduation night. He Ci got drunk in a hotel room, while Jiang Wanshi stood outside, gazing up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle with tears in his eyes, quietly waiting for the protagonist seme to arrive.

But the protagonist seme never came. Instead, He Ci opened the door, cheeks flushed. "You idiot, how long are you going to stand out there?"
