Transmigrating into a novel one morning, Wen Jing arrived at the side of the one he worshiped and admired the most, becoming a loyal hound that was willing to go through fire and water for his senior brother.

Unfortunately, he was ignorant, and as for this novel, he had only read half of it.
Midway through the storyline, he finally realized that things didn’t seem to be the way he thought they were.
Wen Jing: “Last night, Senior brother infiltrated Master’s abode. Master, please take heed.”
His master: “Nonsense! Your master was inside the abode all night last night, and did not see anyone else.”
Wen Jing: “Last night, Senior brother left on his own without permission to meet someone. Martial Uncle, please thoroughly investigate.”
His martial uncle: “Nonsense! Last night your senior brother and I were drinking and chatting merrily, all the way until morning.”
Wen Jing: “Last night, Senior brother was improper towards me……”
His senior sister: “Nonsense! How can your senior brother possibly do that kind of thing? Don’t tell me you’ve long held those kind of intentions towards him, and unable to obtain what you wanted, you’re now framing him?”
Many years later.
Wen Jing: “There’s this evil brute, specializing in using his top-notch, exquisite looks and elegant disposition to fool people, and everyone is in the midst of danger while not even aware of it themselves.”
Jun YanZhi: “If it wasn’t for you, that evil brute would most likely still be struggling in pain and suffering.”

Can’t I read stallion novels anymore?! [TN: genre with OP protag & harem]
Shen Yuan is reborn into a young man and scum villain destined to die, Shen Qingqiu.
But it must be known that the original Shen Qingqiu was sliced alive by his disciple, Luo Binghe, into a human stick! A human stick!
Shen Qingqiu’s heart is a full herd of grass mud horses running full tilt, yet:
“It’s not like I don’t want to hug this main character’s thighs, but who let this fucking man be so black. The revenge that needs to be taken is some thousands of deeds!
Why is all the romance that should be going to the women in the plot imposed on him?
Why as a scum villain, should he still have to block gun and knife for the protagonist and sacrifice himself?
Shen Qingqiu: “…… _(:□)∠)_I think I can still save him one more time.”
He wants to prove – even scum villains can live, and live coolly at that!
It’s also the story of a small white flower who later became a black flower attacking a scholarly, scum villain type.
This is the story of a master and disciple’s everyday unknowing, very strange, dog-blood process of falling in love.
It’s also a scum villain’s firsthand account of the male protagonist turning from a small white sheep into an overbearing black king, sort of story……

Summary [from NU]
In short, this is the tragic tale of a saint-like man who transmigrated into a web novel as a mob character and wanted to rehabilitate the villain, only to realize in the end, he became more and more villainous.
The ludicrous story:
Unable to bear hurting the villain he helped raise, but when it came to compensating with his own body, the unfortunate, straight male reader figured he’d better escape… …
Many years later, the same unfortunate saint rubbed his neck, asking, “This is a dog collar you put on me, isn’t it?”
The handsome villainous boss gave a glance with his elegant, almond-shaped eyes, and then replied with a devious, charming smile, “That’s to prevent you from running away again.”
“If I stay put, will you refrain from destroying the world?”
Personal Thoughts
I know this story is not perfect and it has some problems, but it was the first Chinese online novel that I read, and it sucked me into this online novel black hole, which eventually led to me picking up a translation project of my own, so I still remember this title fondly.

Personal Thoughts [spoilers in gray text]
Short and sweet is the best way to describe this novel. It’s a quick read so I really recommend it if you’re looking for some humorous fluff. The MC and ML are mutually in love. I do think this is sort of a spoiler, because when you first start reading you’re not immediately aware that the MC likes the ML, so his reactions to the ML’s actions seem even funnier. After reading through the story once, I highly recommend reading the story again to get the full effect. For such a short story there were such subtle hints and implications in the text that you just don’t realize until the second read through.
The translations by IAmABanana are also good. The words flow in English while keeping a Chinese atmosphere. When the translator leaves a Chinese word in, it is immediately followed by an explanation so the reader doesn’t get lost.
