The Second Male Lead in a New-Top Story, but I Don't Want to Take His Place

Lin Xishan is the spare second male lead in a melodramatic body-switching romance novel, the one who devotes himself wholeheartedly to the protagonist and eventually succeeds in winning him over.

After his memories awakened, he looked down at himself--

Tall, long-legged, with eight-pack abs and a face so handsome it was almost divine. He was also the hidden heir to a top-tier wealthy family.

Lin Xishan: A top-spec character setup, just to be a simp? I'm not accepting this script!

In the original book, he was infatuated with Ye Qiaonan, but Ye Qiaonan only had eyes for Lin Jichuan.

Even when treated as if he didn't exist, Lin Xishan remained hopelessly devoted.

Now, as he watched Ye Qiaonan repeatedly glance his way with regret in his eyes,

Lin Xishan smiled politely. "Sorry, I'm done simping. Don't @ me."

One late night, Lin Xishan happened to help a gorgeous beauty who was being harassed.

A few days later, Pei Zhi, the lead singer of an underground rock band, cornered him right outside the school.

Pei Zhi's gaze was obsessive, but his tone was calm. "Stay with me, and I'll pay you."

Lin Xishan: ?

Wait, do I look that convincing when I pretend to be poor?

But somehow, he took the card.

--

Pei Zhi struggled to survive in the mud, with nothing to his name and a shameful secret:

He couldn't get aroused by anyone.

Until one evening, he saw Lin Xishan.

At a single glance, Pei Zhi's body, dormant for years, began to clamor wildly for the first time.

At first, Pei Zhi said, "Don't get the wrong idea. I only want your body."

Later, he pinned Lin Xishan firmly against a wall backstage at a concert. His fingers trembled, and his voice was fierce:

"Don't leave, Lin Xishan..."

"If you dare to leave, I won't hesitate to use any means necessary to keep you by my side."

[Side Story]

Ye Qiaonan, his eyes red, said bitterly, "You were supposed to be mine!"

Lin Xishan gave a soft scoff and drew the person beside him into his arms. "The script changed a long time ago."

Pei Zhi looked up, swept him with a cold glance, and curled his lips in mockery. "Now, his body and his heart are both mine."
