[Hot-Tempered Delinquent Bottom x Cunning, Scheming Top]
As everyone knows, the vicious male supporting character in danmei novels usually serves one of two roles:
First, he constantly stirs up trouble, becoming a cannon-fodder tool to push the protagonists' relationship forward, before making a miserable exit.
Second, he constantly stirs up trouble, becoming the original owner of a body possessed by someone else, and getting killed off in the very first chapter.
The so-called "protagonist" takes over a body that doesn't belong to him, turns the tables, and wins everyone's approval.
The third young master of the Ming family, Ming Luoxing, is a textbook vicious male supporting character.
Though adopted, he was spoiled rotten and arrogant, throwing his weight around.
He was practically the perfect vessel for one of those transmigrated "protagonist bottoms" from another world.
As the story unfolds, the real third young master is found and brought home.
Naturally, Ming Luoxing behaves just like every other vicious male supporting character: he hates him, insults him, frames him, and sets him up.
These are all standard moves before a cannon-fodder character exits the stage.
The Ming family members suddenly change their tune, too.
"What on earth were you thinking?" "How could you do something like this?" "We're so disappointed in you!"
Then, without hesitation, they kick Ming Luoxing out of the house.
Even when he wails and begs, the Ming family doesn't soften.
As if things weren't bad enough, Ming Luoxing soon gets into a car accident.
No, rather, this is just how a danmei novel is supposed to go.
At this point, he either gets game over,
or someone else takes over his body.
Either way, Ming Luoxing's part in the story is definitely over.
But maybe life really is unpredictable. Not only does he survive, but his soul and body are both just fine.
If there's one abnormal thing...
It's that, after waking up, he suddenly realizes:
"This is a danmei world."
Ming Luoxing can't make head or tail of it.
What on earth was he thinking when he carried out all those robotic actions before?
It was as if his body and thoughts were beyond his control.
He has no idea whether the violent impact of the car accident freed him from the world's control.
In any case, he feels completely refreshed now.
He can't face the Ming family.
Even Ming Luoxing himself thinks he went too far before,
so he decides to go his own way and part with them.
But this world insists on going against his personal wishes...
Big Brother (puppy eyes): Luoluo, why don't you call me Big Brother like you used to?
Second Brother (adjusting his glasses): Luoxing, you've lost so much weight. Quit your part-time job and come home for dinner.
Ming Ciyu (narrowing his eyes): Hmm? Why are you avoiding me?
Fourth Younger Brother (grabbing his sleeve): Don't go, Brother.
Ming Luoxing: What kind of trap from another world is this?! (Clutches his head) Stop setting me up!
Notes:
