Meeting you was the worst luck of my life!

[kk's content notes: This story has two male leads!

Both are untouched in body and heart, 1v1, with livestream comments, a side couple, and plenty of unhinged antics. Rest assured.

The kk-brand unhinged bus has started up. Dear readers, please hold on to the handrails (๑´∀`๑)

The setting is fictional, so please don't apply it to reality. Just read it for fun. I hope everyone is happy every day (〃'▽'〃)

If the writing isn't good, dear readers, please bear with me [kk's cupped-fist salute]

There will be typos, but I'll correct them regularly [finger heart]]

Shen Ting's head buzzed. Had he gone to heaven? That made sense. After getting hit by a truck that huge, had he actually expected to survive?

"Shen Ting, delete all the false information you posted online. Right now."

An icy voice sounded beside Shen Ting's ear.

Shen Ting's eyes snapped open. Before him stood an exceptionally handsome man, his brows slightly furrowed and his face full of impatience.

"Hold on, man, who are you? Do we know each other?" Shen Ting looked baffled.

Si Chen sneered at Shen Ting, who was playing dumb in front of him. "Spare me the act. I'll say it again. Delete the false information you posted online about Su Yu. Right now."

Su Yu???

In an instant, a flood of unfamiliar memories appeared in Shen Ting's bewildered mind. Although the memories were extremely jumbled, he still grasped the key points.

Good heavens, did you think my last life was too smooth and decide to spice things up?

He had actually transmigrated into a novel! And as some insignificant cannon fodder, at that. Shen Ting had stumbled across Showbiz Top Star: A Storm of Fame once when he was utterly bored. The plot was so melodramatic and incomprehensible that he had even written a collection of rants after finishing it.

The novel was about its bottom protagonist, Su Yu, a false young heir who had been switched at birth into a wealthy family. After the true heir was found, he had taken a step back to gain ground, volunteering to study music abroad. Years later, he returned after completing his studies and entered show business.

His persona as a resilient, innocent flower caught the attention of the protagonist, Si Chen. Si Chen was an award-winning actor who also came from a wealthy family, giving him a double buff. At first, Si Chen had merely admired him.

But during a wildly popular dating reality show, the number of fans shipping them skyrocketed, and Si Chen became convinced through the show that Su Yu was his soulmate for life. After endless friction, push and pull, and jealousy, jealousy, and more jealousy, the two finally got together. Su Yu also used Si Chen's resources to become a top star.

Meanwhile, Shen Ting had transmigrated into the most peripheral of peripheral characters in the book. He wasn't the top protagonist, the bottom protagonist, or even the second male lead, much less the third. He was merely the younger brother of the third male lead, a hopeless simp.

An insignificant piece of cannon fodder who adored the top protagonist and appeared for only a few chapters before being written out.

Thinking of this, Shen Ting felt both relieved and resigned. He was relieved that he wasn't too deeply involved, but sighed over having a simp for an older brother, unsure whether he could hold him back.

"Shen Ting, you're as rude as ever." Si Chen's eyes were full of disgust.

"I'm rude? And you're polite? Flapping that stinking mouth of yours, quack, quack, quack. You tell me to delete it, and I have to? Your skin's thicker than your ass-a knife couldn't slice through it. Want me to donate a toothbrush so you can give that brain of yours a good scrub? It shrinks more every year." Shen Ting folded his arms and leaned back in his chair. Who do you think you're dealing with? I was arguing with the lady next door when I was six. You think I'm scared of you?

"You!" Si Chen stared at Shen Ting in shock.

"You what? Can't win an argument, so now you're stuttering? Some domineering CEO you are. That's all you've got, and you still have the nerve to show off?" Shen Ting curled his lip in disdain.

Si Chen took a deep breath. "Shen Ting, I know you're only saying these things out of anger..."

"So you do know I'm angry. Just looking at you fills me up without eating."

"Know what fills me up? All the anger you give me."

"Shen Ting, if you keep talking like this, I'll have no choice but to go to your brother."

"Go, go, go. Go, go, go. If my brother won't do, go to my mom or my dad. You're completely useless, but tattling comes naturally, huh? What else can you do? I can't even be bothered with you. Meeting you really was the worst luck of my life." Once Shen Ting opened his mouth, Si Chen couldn't get a word in.

"Shen Ting, just you wait."

His cheeks flushed red with anger, Si Chen stood up, turned, and left.

"Fine, I'll wait! If you don't show up, you're no man!"

Hearing the shout behind him, Si Chen nearly twisted his ankle. Had jealousy driven Shen Ting completely mad? Had he lost his mind?

Shen Ting curled his lip. With me here, you think you can live comfortably in this world? Your good fortune is still to come.

The Shen Family lived in a villa district in downtown S City.

Shen Ting walked up to the gate, gripped the bars with both hands, and pressed his face into the gap to peer inside.

A long road stretched out with no end in sight. And this was only the front yard?

"Holy moly, this is obscenely rich," Shen Ting marveled.

Inside the guard booth beside him, six bodyguards exchanged looks as they watched the young master at the gate. He actually wasn't going crazy over love today?

Every previous time the young master came home, he would mutter away, either calling the Si Family's young master heartless or the Su Family's young master a home-wrecking fox. They always heard him before they saw him, yet this time he had appeared so quietly.

"Ahem... Open the gate."

Of course, Shen Ting felt the six bodyguards watching him. He cleared his throat with a cough.

A bodyguard obediently pressed the switch to open the gate.

Shen Ting started walking inside, but before he had taken more than a few steps, a bodyguard stopped him.

"Young master, are you planning to walk home?" Bodyguard A asked curiously.

"How else am I supposed to get home?" Looking baffled, Shen Ting began searching his memories of going home. Had the original owner of this body had some different way of getting back?

"Young master, didn't you drive today?"

"No." Shen Ting shook his head.

"Then let me drive you back." Bodyguard B beckoned to Bodyguard C, then went to the parking lot nearby and drove over in a black supercar.

"This is your car?" Shen Ting ran a hand along the car's sleek lines, his eyes wide.

"Yes, I just picked it up yesterday. I waited almost a year for it. You can get in, young master." Bodyguard B nodded happily.

Shen Ting got into the car. The sports car's roof suddenly retracted, instantly turning the stylish vehicle into a convertible.

"Wait, do bodyguards make this much money these days?"

"It's all right. Mostly, the eldest young master pays well." Bodyguard B nodded.

Shen Ting whistled inwardly. Was the original owner an idiot? With all this money, why go into show business? Why not live the dream, eating, lazing around, and waiting to die?

In the end, he had simply spent too long living comfortably and wanted some excitement. Unlike Shen Ting, whose life used to be exciting every day and who now wanted nothing more than this comfortable, laid-back retirement-or slacker-life.

But Shen Ting soon put that question out of his mind. Looking at the seemingly endless road ahead, his head buzzed. If he really had walked back, it probably would have taken over half an hour.

Shen Ting used the time to properly sort through his memories, finally matching them to the buildings they passed.

The housekeepers' building, the bodyguards' building, the chefs' building, and only then the villa where the Shen Family lived.

Shen Ting got out of the car and looked at the magnificent villa before him, silently raising a hand to shield his eyes. Wow, so dazzling!!! Was this the legendary true luxury mansion?
