Please Don't Become the Male Lead's Dream Man

Abridged Version

Yu Ran writes a book criticizing Mo Jun Jiang Liu, with an ideal character dynamic: "cynical, rebellious subordinate vs. arrogant, cold boss".

Readers see the true essence: "possessive, loyal dom top × easily tamed sub"!

Yu Ran: Why do I have a feeling that I'm being proven wrong for insisting I'm straight?

Readers: In cases like yours, it's usually called being the male lead's dream man. (But whose main character's dream man is the author herself!)

Full Version

Yu Ran suffers brain damage and starts feeling overly familiar with everyone he meets, until he encounters Jiang Liu. Uh-oh, they might actually have a past together.

Yu Ran internally: Huh... his looks, his demeanor—he's exactly the male lead from my unfinished manuscript!

Jiang Liu: "Finally recognized me? I'm your--"

Using what little brainpower he has left, Yu Ran concludes this person must be his enemy. That manuscript was actually his tear-soaked revenge record written before he lost his memory.

"What were you saying about 'male--'?"

"Troublesome boss."

Yu Ran internally: You know, subordinates and bosses naturally don't get along. Since we already have issues between us, don't blame me for exposing your true colors.

So Yu Ran takes up his old job again, writing novels under the pen name Ran Yuan and happily rewriting characters.

After some time, Yu Ran's writing goes like this:

"This guy wears his emotions on his sleeve, flips tables over small matters, resorts to violence for big issues, but has first-class looks. Complains that sugarcane damages teeth, finds lettuce bland, and fears getting mango juice on his hands... oh well, someone slices it for him anyway."

...

Readers: Ahhh, the author has recovered! This time it's her hilarious satirical style—wait, urban redemption style? Oh~ sweet romance style!

"Huh, why are you acting like the male lead's dream man..."

"Teacher, why did you and the male lead go public?!"

Reading Notes

1. The top only serves one person—it's not that kind of boss-subordinate relationship you're thinking of.

2. Professional settings serve the plot—please don't question them too much.
