I’m just an insignificant side character who transmigrated into a ridiculously over-the-top dog-blood novel. This novel is the ultimate collection of melodramatic tropes, and to drag it out, the author even included over ten couples! A whopping eight million words!... more>>

Some of the main pairings include:

• The Broken-Mirror-Reunion Couple: The protagonist gong and shou separate without a clear reason. The shou mistakenly believes the gong has a “white moonlight” (an unforgettable first love), leading to a ten-year separation.

• The Mutual-Unspoken-Crush-Turned-Enemies Couple: They misunderstand each other at a critical moment, turning from lovers into bitter rivals, tearing each other apart—sometimes literally.

• The Tragic-Masochist Shou & s*umbag CEO Gong Couple: The shou watches as the CEO cheats on him, then leaves in tears, secretly pregnant with the CEO’s child.

Meanwhile, I’m just a plain and ordinary side character. I hold all the plot knowledge (completely useless), and my daily routine consists of sipping tea and watching the drama unfold.

I’m:

• A classmate of the Broken-Mirror-Reunion Couple.

• A gofer assistant in the Enemies-to-Lovers Gone Wrong Couple.

• The messenger butler in the s*umbag CEO & Tragic Shou Couple.

My greatest wish? To leave this melodramatic world. (Folds hands in prayer.)

I thought I just needed to quietly make it through the eight-million-word plot and I’d be free. But one day, the world changed.

During the critical “broken mirror” moment, when Protagonist Gong 1 and Protagonist Shou 1 bid farewell at the airport—one heading toward the departure gate, the other toward the exit—

I sipped my bubble tea, putting on a facade of helplessness and sorrow.

[So what if your family went bankrupt and sent you abroad to escape? Why can’t you just say it outright? Is this white moonlight substitute play really necessary?]

Gong 1 & Shou 1: …Who’s talking?

During the Mutual-Unspoken-Crush-Turned-Enemies moment, just as Protagonist Shou 2 was about to pull the trigger in a final standoff—

I, the gofer assistant, had one earbud in, listening to music, my expression solemn and composed.

[Oh, come on, Gong 2 really didn’t do it. He got set up. And all because of his s*upid pride! Why can’t he just admit it? Men and their ego—always harder than their d—]

Shou 2’s gun nearly misfired: Huh?

Gong 2, horrified: Huh?!

When the s*umbag CEO was gloating and dropping his trademark hurtful lines, while the Tragic Shou was heartbroken—

I, the messenger butler, kept a straight face, but internally, my thoughts were a raging sea.

[Keep insulting him. The more you curse, the faster he’ll run.]

[Wait… does this s*umbag really think the shou still likes him? Where does he get this confidence? What kind of delusion makes him believe someone he insulted this much would stick around?]

[Man, s*umbags are just like horses—give them a little piss to drink, and they start prancing around like crazy. …Wait, they actually get a happy ending? Well, congrats, I guess.]

s*umbag CEO: …What the hell was that noise?

*

I thought my life would continue peacefully like this, but suddenly, all the protagonists started seeking me out.

• Shou 1 asked me about Gong 1 and his “white moonlight.”

• Shou 2 and Gong 2 wanted to know their rival faction’s next move.

• Even the s*umbag CEO started consulting me for advice?!

It was like they thought I was some all-knowing oracle.

And then things got even worse.

The final boss of this dog-blood novel—the ultimate villain feared by all the protagonists—set his sights on me.

But he wasn’t here to kill me.

He seemed… mentally unwell.

*

The nth time he blocked my way, he cornered me and demanded, “Where are the boundaries of this world?”

At that moment, I realized—he might have discovered my secret.

Still, I remained calm. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Internally: [OH MY GOD WHY DOES HE KNOW?!]

The villain narrowed his eyes, resting his hand on my neck. “I have a short temper.”

[OH MY GOD HOW WOULD I KNOW?!]

My gaze drifted across his sharp features and strong, muscular arms.

I spaced out for a moment.

[…He’s actually kinda hot.]

The villain hesitated slightly.

Villain: ?

# IS THIS REALLY THE TIME FOR THAT THOUGHT?
