Bonus chapters will drop at random! You can also check out the companion story, Can This Dragon Proudly Arrogant Hero Be Custom-Made?, in my author page~ [Recommended: Choosing to Be a Mascot Between the Workaholic and the Useless One by Mei Le] [A suspicious, domineering, fatherly Dragon Proudly Arrogant Hero x a sweet, silly young master with separation anxiety] At twenty-one, Su Ning learned that he was a cannon-fodder character in a male-oriented novel, and that his roommate, Xiao Jinxu, was the Dragon Proudly Arrogant Hero male lead, still down on his luck. The male lead had broad shoulders and a slim waist. He was disciplined, steady, and handsome. Apart from always wearing a stern expression and being distant, he was practically the perfect boyfriend. The only problem was that he was poor. But that was all right. Xiao Jinxu was the Dragon Proudly Arrogant Hero. Never look down on a young man just because he's poor: one day, he'd rule all of City A! The more Su Ning thought about it, the more satisfied he was. Rather than let his family marry him off to a stranger, he might as well choose someone he liked. Xiao Jinxu seemed like a great choice. So Su Ning and Xiao Jinxu fell in love at lightning speed. Word spread through their social circle that Su Ning was supporting a poor boy. His rival laughed at his poor taste, and his friends hinted that he should break up. Su Ning remained unruffled. “What do you know?” His husband was a stock with huge potential! He was a Dragon Proudly Arrogant Hero! Xiao Jinxu was a top employee of the Dragon Proudly Arrogant Hero System at the quick transmigration bureau. After completing his performance targets, he was allowed to return to his original world. Back home, he knew the plot and had the System's cheat abilities at his disposal. He made steady progress toward the achievement of rising from the ashes, but an unexpected change came in the form of the young master who was supposed to kick him while he was down. The young master, Su Ning, was exactly what he appeared to be: a pretty vase with nothing but a handsome face, useless at everything. He could even burn an empty pot while cooking. He was a burden who couldn't get anything done and only made trouble. The two of them should never have crossed paths, but through a twist of fate they became roommates, and Su Ning confessed his feelings to him. Xiao Jinxu wanted to see what trick Su Ning was trying to pull, so he accepted the confession, and the two officially became a couple. The System planned ahead. “Host, don't get distracted by his looks! Don't forget our mission!” Xiao Jinxu replied, “Relax. It's just for fun.” There was no way he'd fall for a pretty fool. As time went by, Su Ning began to show his true colors, just as Xiao Jinxu had expected. But they were nothing like what he'd imagined. Su Ning was clingy to the extreme. He wanted to spend all twenty-four hours of the day with Xiao Jinxu, throwing himself into his arms for kisses whenever they met and calling him “hubby” in the sweetest voice. The only thing that could get him to settle down was Xiao Jinxu saying he had to go to work. Work was great! Work was wonderful! Su Ning tied Xiao Jinxu's tie and pushed him out the door, then kissed his cheek before he left. “Good luck at work, hubby! I'll be waiting for you at home.” Once her Dragon Proudly Arrogant Hero husband made a name for himself, let's see who dared laugh at her for having poor taste! * President Xiao was a legend in their circles. In just a few short years, he went from having nothing to becoming a rising star in business, and even took over as head of the prestigious Xiao family. Su Ning finally had his moment of triumph. When he saw Xiao Jinxu praising him in a financial news interview, he gleefully posted the clip to his social media: “I'm not all that great~ [shy]” Xiao Jinxu held him close. “Nonsense. Without you, where would I be today?” Seeing the mission that was originally supposed to take eight years completed in just four, the System sighed. “Host, you really worked hard.” Xiao Jinxu: How else could I afford to support my wife? Content warnings: The recipient is very much a pampered wife. Both leads are each other's first and only love. Happy ending. No quick transmigration elements. Any implausible plot points should be taken as my own fictional conventions. The couple stays together, 1v1, devoted to each other in body and soul. The author only focuses on fictional worlds. None of the characters are based on real people, and using them as stand-ins for real people is prohibited. No impersonation, no dream fics, and no face-swapping. Blurb written on January 13, 2026.
