Gu Xingyou transmigrated into a novel filled with deep, tragic love and a broken mirror being mended. He became the second male lead, who was first used by the drunken main character (seme) as a stand-in for his ex-boyfriend and later added fuel to the fire of the protagonists’ love, ultimately ending up wandering far away.

Gu Xingyou: Wandering far away is not an option; is it really that hard to be a laid-back person? Living one more day is one more day.

Later, he realized that he wasn’t even qualified to be a laid-back person; only by diligently protecting the main character’s (seme’s) life could he survive—and as he protected him, he gradually rose to the top.

When Gu Xingyou first met Ji Chen, he was cold and proud, like a hedgehog full of spikes. Only when Gu Xingyou truly got close to him did he discover that the hedgehog was a facade; inside, he was soft and sweet, making it impossible to resist.

Gu Xingyou × Ji Chen

It’s strangers to best friends to lovers trope. No angst, or misunderstandings. Just sweetness.

[Important! The first two chapters are info dumps and a summary of the first six months with almost no interactions between the main characters. The story starts at chapter 3.]
