Synopsis
Duan Yan awakens to the realization that he is merely a disposable supporting character destined to pine for the world's protagonist, Lu Chaosheng. Despite his lack of interest, the narrative forces him into romantic encounters, leading to an unexpected shift where his supposed rivals and the protagonist itself fall for him. This novel reads like a classic 'cannon fodder' subversion common in Danmei, utilizing tropes found in system-bound transmigration stories. It is ideal for readers who enjoy high-drama, melodramatic BL and chaotic romantic tensions that eventually settle into a monogamous pairing. Those seeking a serious, plot-driven narrative or those who dislike heavy clichés should skip it. The story is characterized by rapid pacing and a standout sense of irony as the lead struggles against an inescapable script that forces him into intimacy with his enemies.

Editorial Review
This novel is a concentrated dose of melodramatic BL tropes, leaning heavily into the 'cannon fodder' narrative. Its greatest strength lies in its fast-paced delivery of romantic tension and the ironic twist of the protagonist's forced interactions. Being a completed work of 114 chapters, it offers a concise experience that doesn't overstay its welcome. However, the reliance on heavy clichés is a double-edged sword; while entertaining for the target audience, it often prioritizes forced scenarios over genuine character development. The shift from a multi-rival setup to a single pairing happens relatively quickly, which may leave some readers wanting more exploration of the secondary love interests. Overall, it is a light, trope-filled diversion that succeeds in its specific niche but lacks the complexity required for a higher literary rating.
