Quan Yuxi originally thought he would be taken somewhere outside by car, but unexpectedly, the staff directly led him to the top floor of a building—an office belonging to some senior executive.
He noticed that, aside from three completely unfamiliar women and company executives, the program’s directors and planners were also there. Only then did he slightly relax.
It looked like… a formal meeting.
“He’s Quan Yuxi!”
At the callout, Quan Yuxi immediately straightened his back, trying to look more upright and proper.
He was definitely not one of those frivolous pretty boys outside who could be kept by anyone at will. He was a serious person—he was only here to compete and earn money.
【The most miserable male lead in history!】
【Let me see just how miserable he actually is.】
Ruan Yaoyao casually exchanged a few words, then turned her attention to Quan Yuxi’s profile page and quickly began scanning through it.
Yun Jinxian had no choice but to take over the role of “conversation filler,” stalling the others while also straining her ears, trying to hear what this so-called “most miserable male lead in history” was all about.
After experiencing so much already, Yun Jinxian had come to understand that “male leads” and “female leads” were not necessarily good people—they were simply the winners in their own “stories.”
As the saying goes, history is written by the victors.
Because they “won” in their stories, they got to decide how those stories were told. Otherwise, characters like Bai Ling’er, Li Tingting, and Ma Aotian wouldn’t exist as male or female leads.
Quan Yuxi: “……”
So they called him here… just to “take a look”? There really was no other purpose?
Or was it because he was recommended by President Lin, and they were being cautious and wouldn’t easily touch him? If that was the case, then he really needed to cling tightly to President Lin’s thigh.
Although President Lin wasn’t exactly a good person either, at least he wouldn’t force him to offer up his body.
【Tsk tsk tsk… indeed miserable!】
【A male lead, yet forced by the female lead to sleep with this one and that one—anyone who didn’t know better would think he was trying to rise through his body.】
Yun Jinxian and the background figure Ruan Zhihe both widened their eyes in shock.
What?!
Male lead?
Sleep with people?!
This kind of thing… could happen to a male lead?!
If not for fear of being noticed, the two of them would have stared him down properly to see just how useless this guy was to end up in such a situation.
【……】
【Even Gao Yousheng would have to bow in respect at this level!】
【I thought Gao Yousheng was already bad enough, but there’s actually someone worse than him. At least Gao Yousheng only sent the woman he loved to his best friend’s bed—this guy is personally going into battle with his own body.】
【Impressive!】
【First, in order to raise money for the female lead’s so-called “strange illness,” he sleeps with President Lin, directors, producers, etc., exchanging his body for resources and successfully debuts as a trending idol.】
【Then, when he and the female lead are kidnapped together, in order to prevent her from being violated by the kidnappers, he voluntarily offers himself…】
Ruan Yaoyao looked like an old man staring at a subway phone.
【What kind of script is this?!】
【Is this a tragic romance male lead?! This is way too insane!】
【This doesn’t even feel like something a normal human could write. I know reality can be more exaggerated than novels, but I never thought it could be this absurd.】
Yun Jinxian and Ruan Zhihe were at a loss for words for a moment.
What kind of storyline was he even living through—how could he be tortured like this?
Wasn’t it just that the female lead didn’t “force” him, but instead used love as justification, and he willingly sacrificed himself?!
Was this really not PUA?
Compared to Li Tingting and Qu Shiyi from before, this female lead seemed even more unhinged.
【Oh, and even after all that, Quan Yuxi remains devoted to her. As long as she wants something, he will do anything.】
【What moves him most is that even though he has become so “dirty,” she never abandoned him, and still stayed firmly by his side, looking at him with complete devotion.】
【But what he doesn’t know is that her goal was to drag him down from his pedestal, to make him sink into the same mud as her—become dirty and rotten together—so she could feel justified enjoying his devotion and staying with him.】
Ruan Yaoyao could not accept this kind of “tragic romance” logic at all.
She couldn’t understand why, if they loved each other, he had to be dragged down from a pedestal just to be together.
If they truly loved each other, couldn’t they just be together without all that?
From what she saw of his ending anyway, no matter what the woman did, he still loved her and was willing to give everything.
In the end, they did end up together—married, with children, a “happy” couple.
Yun Jinxian and Ruan Zhihe: utterly shocked!
To keep up with Ruan Yaoyao’s “inner commentary,” they had already crammed a lot of novel tropes, including tragic romance stories—but none of them were as insane as Quan Yuxi’s situation.
Compared to the one about digging out hearts and livers, they didn’t even know which was worse anymore.
After all, Quan Yuxi was only “sleeping with people,” not having his organs removed—and he was “willing” too.
Quan Yuxi, who still had no idea what was going on, was finally brought back after sitting there for over an hour.
He felt a little confused, as if something was off—but he couldn’t figure out what.
He had just sat there listening to them “talk nonsense” the entire time.
So the so-called “leaders” were this free and bored?
After he returned, however, the way the trainees looked at him became even stranger.
“You’ve got good stamina—two hours and you’re still fine!”
“How could he not be? He’s a dancer after all. Who can’t dance for half a day?”
“But dancing half a day and doing that for two hours are completely different things. That drains your essence—you don’t know if his legs are even still steady.”
……
Quan Yuxi felt stifled. He wanted to explain that he was only called over so the leaders could recognize him.
But the problem was, he had just joined the program and no one was willing to listen to him.
He was frustrated.
Meanwhile, after getting into the car, Yun Jinxian casually asked Ruan Yaoyao about what happened, worried that Quan Yuxi might have done something illegal that could prevent their idol group from debuting.
“…That’s hard to say,” Ruan Yaoyao said after organizing her thoughts. “His face shows he’s destined for fame, but he’s a love brain. Do you understand what a love brain is? It means he’ll do whatever his girlfriend says. If his girlfriend is good, that’s fine—but if she wants him to do something, he won’t even hesitate…”
Yun Jinxian was shocked. “Wait, he already has a girlfriend? That can’t be right. This is an idol group—someone with a girlfriend shouldn’t be here. I need to ask Lin.”
She immediately called.
President Lin was also surprised. “Xiao Quan has a girlfriend? That must be a mistake. When Linglong recommended him, she said he was single.”
“Who is Linglong?” Yun Jinxian’s eyes sharpened.
Ruan Yaoyao and Ruan Zhihe also perked up immediately.
