Chapter 001: I’m the Protagonist’s “Ally”
Under the sparse light of the stars, the bustling university town had fallen silent, cloaked in the calm of the night. It was already 3 a.m., and only those who had reached a state of zen-like mastery could still be battling away at their computers.
Ning Chu was once again sleepless tonight.
He sat at his computer, resting his chin on one hand. He wanted to play a game, but couldn’t focus; he wanted to sleep, but his mind was a chaotic mess. So, he aimlessly clicked through web pages, his gaze unfocused on the screen.
“Still not sleeping?”
A hoarse male voice came from above as the bunk bed creaked. A tall, well-built man climbed down the ladder.
Ning Chu glanced at him briefly, lips pressed together, saying nothing.
It had been more than a week since he arrived in this parallel world, and he still couldn’t accept it.
This made him appear particularly withdrawn and introverted in front of his roommates.
“It’s been two weeks since school started. Why don’t you ever talk?” The roommate muttered softly as he headed to the balcony.
Ning Chu sighed lightly, opened his computer’s hard drive, and pulled up a document.
If there was any benefit to this strange situation, it was this.
This was a novel world—a smutty one that he had personally written before his transmigration.
Who would have thought he’d end up in his own novel? If he’d known this would happen, he would never have written such a trashy story!
After transmigrating, the entire novel had come with him, allowing Ning Chu to revisit the characters, events, and plotlines at will.
“Wen Yang...”
The protagonist, Wen Yang, was the same roommate who had just gone to the bathroom.
Unlike the brave and battle-hardened hero in the story, the real Wen Yang didn’t even have a girlfriend and was still a virgin.
Ning Chu quickly flipped through the novel, matching the characters in the story to those in reality.
“Wang Jie, the second roommate.”
Wang Jie, the second roommate, had appeared in two chapters, serving as a tool to highlight Wen Yang’s prowess. It took Ning Chu two whole days to track down his role in the novel.
“And the third one... he’s the villain.”
The third roommate, Zhang Shaoqing, with his bleached blonde hair, was a second-generation rich kid with no moral boundaries. He was the antagonist who repeatedly cuckolded the protagonist, showing no respect for ethics, law, or decency—so much so that even a dog would cover its eyes in shame.
Ning Chu instinctively looked back at Zhang Shaoqing’s bed.
Although Zhang Shaoqing in the novel was a scoundrel, this real-life version had shown no signs of being a bad guy. In fact, thanks to his wealth, he was rather generous with his roommates.
The protagonist and the villain didn’t match their novel counterparts. Maybe it was because the plot hadn’t started yet?
But here’s the problem: smutty stories like this didn’t have a linear timeline. Each chapter was a standalone, featuring the protagonist in various scenarios with different girls.
Who knew when the novel’s plot would kick off...
The dorm had four people: Wen Yang was the protagonist, Wang Jie was the sidekick, and the blonde was the villain.
“So, who am I?”
Ning Chu furrowed his brow, rapidly scrolling through the document, trying to find his place in the story.
He was now a member of Wen Yang’s dorm, and he vaguely remembered writing something about this.
“Where is it...”
“Ning Chu, get some sleep.” A teasing voice suddenly came from behind, startling him. “Staying up late like this isn’t good for your health.”
Ning Chu jolted in surprise, quickly slamming his laptop shut. He turned around in alarm, only to see Wen Yang standing behind him, unsure how long he had been there.
Embarrassment flooded Ning Chu’s face. The thought of the protagonist from his smutty novel seeing what he had written made his cheeks flush pink.
“Stop sneaking around like a cat,” he muttered, trying to act nonchalant. “I’ll sleep now.”
Luckily, it seemed Wen Yang hadn’t realized that the protagonist in the novel was himself.
“Take care of yourself.”
“...”
Ning Chu ignored Wen Yang and focused on his phone.
In this world of smutty novels, nearly everyone was stunningly attractive, and Ning Chu was no exception.
He now had the look of a delicate, boyish pretty boy. Despite being in his first year of university, he looked like he hadn’t hit puberty yet, with a height of only 1.6 meters and a petite frame that made him resemble a little girl.
He could only hope that he would grow taller in a few years—being a grown man and only 1.6 meters tall was just too much.
Fortunately, Ning Chu’s sexual orientation was straight, and there were no scenarios in the novel involving guys with other guys. Otherwise, with his looks, he might be in some real danger in this world.
“Danger?”
At that thought, Ning Chu’s expression froze.
He hurriedly reopened his laptop and scrolled frantically through the document until he found a certain chapter in the middle of the novel.
The general plot of this chapter was: Wen Yang returns to the dorm and finds it empty. He heads to the bathroom on the balcony, opens the door, and finds a woman showering inside. Naturally, things escalate from there.
It had never occurred to him that he might be the type of supporting character who ends up as the “ally.”
“That woman... could it be me?”
Ning Chu’s right eyelid twitched uncontrollably, and the corner of his mouth twitched as well.
He kept scrolling: the woman ends up living in Wen Yang’s dorm, but their intimate activities are discovered by Zhang Shaoqing, who takes advantage of the situation to cuckold the protagonist... Throughout the entire story, Wang Jie never realizes there’s an extra girl in the dorm.
“This plot doesn’t make any sense. How could Wang Jie not notice a woman in the dorm?” Ning Chu muttered to himself. “I didn’t think too much about it when I was writing.”
But now, that plot hole had been fixed.
What if that woman had been living in the dorm as a man all along?
“Could it really be me?”
Ning Chu felt a shiver run down his spine. He jumped up and rushed to the bathroom to double-check his gender.
No mistake! Still a guy!
“There’s no way something this ridiculous would happen. I must’ve just forgotten to write about Wen Yang’s fourth roommate, and now that I’ve transmigrated, I’m filling in that gap.”
New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.
The tension in his body relaxed, and Ning Chu felt a little calmer.
He brushed his teeth, washed his face, took off his shoes, and collapsed onto his bed.
Why did I even write this garbage?! Damn it!
Back then, he really had too much time on his hands.
Now, he felt like a pervert for writing such trash, but to be fair, he had never intended to publish it—it was just for his own amusement. Who could have predicted that he’d end up transmigrating into his own story?
“Stop overthinking it. Just go with the flow...”
Ning Chu pulled the blanket over his head, hiding his face beneath it.
Since the novel didn’t include any scenes with him, maybe even in this strange world, he could live a peaceful life.
Graduate, find a pretty wife... The girls in this world were much more attractive than in his previous life.
There were even non-human girls to choose from.
Marrying a catgirl...
As his mind wandered to fantasies of a happy life with a catgirl, Ning Chu’s imagination suddenly shattered.
He snapped his eyes open, muttering to himself in doubt, “In this smutty world... my wife is probably going to cheat on me, isn’t she?”
