How to Be a Cannon-Fodder Roommate

[Sweet Romance + Goofy Humor and Sharp Tongues + Obsessive Love + Two Male Leads + Transmigration into a Novel]

[1v1 Romance] An elegant, devoted, scheming male lead × a levelheaded botanist who transmigrates into a novel.

What do you do when you inexplicably become a background extra? Embrace the slacker life? Resign yourself to being cannon fodder? Or just switch dorm rooms?

Ninety percent of Mary Sue novels feature the same sort of plot: a powerful, rich, impossibly cool protagonist falls for another male lead who's poor, pitiful, and vulnerable. It's the classic The Bossy CEO Falls for Me, with melodrama piled sky-high.

Their dorm room will also have two utterly dispensable roommates. One of the leads inevitably pays them to spend a few nights at a hotel, just to give the couple some privacy.

Bai Chen transmigrates into one of those roommates, whose family has a little money-but not much.

Worse, the book is My Beloved: A Love Steeped in Torment, a Mary Sue angst novel written by his own younger sister, Bai Xi.

He has no intention of changing the plot. He'll follow the original storyline, talk less, stay out of the dorm as much as possible, and become a background extra so transparent he practically disappears.

The original owner of his body had opened a teahouse. Bai Chen thought he could coast peacefully through the plot-until someone began secretly watching him from the shadows, even buying up his pottery in secret and hiding every piece away.

1: This isn't a wish-fulfillment story; it leans a little more toward realism. The protagonist avoids trouble and is a levelheaded slacker.

2: The middle of the story features rainforests, the Miao regions, and deserts, with plenty of overseas fieldwork.

3: The other male lead doesn't appear until Chapter 10. This is a sweet romance. A genuinely sweet romance.
