Synopsis

What's it like to want to die but be unable to?

Yang Mo transmigrated to a parallel world and was told that if he spent all his money and managed to die once, he'd gain unparalleled power, return to the past, and undo his regrets.

But things weren't that simple. Every time he tried to kill himself, an accident kept him alive, and somehow he ended up rich afterward.

Gradually, Yang Mo noticed something terrifying: he seemed impossible to kill, and his words were becoming more and more lethal.

During a livestream watched by the entire internet, he drove a kidnapper insane with a single sentence. In an influencer's livestream, one comment from him sent the host into cardiac arrest on the spot.

Little by little, he became the most popular person online. The country's top negotiator begged to become his student, a heartbroken young woman sought his help, business tycoons came to talk with him, and criminals went out of their way to avoid him.

Yang Mo's failed attempts to die created one hot-button news story after another and one legendary viral moment after another.

When business tycoons, computer geniuses, charities, and the world's greatest inventor came looking for him, Yang Mo had only one thing to say:

“I really just wanted to kill myself. I wasn't trying to help you.”

Before he knew it, he'd become a hero to the whole country.

Looking for Books Where the Protagonist Is Determined to Die, Seeks Death, or Wants to Die!

Time to test all you veteran readers! I've recently gotten into this type of story, but it feels really niche. I'm looking for books like "The Nobleman Who Welcomed Death" on Qidian, where the protagonist desperately wants to die but somehow just can't. The more recommendations, the better! Thanks, everyone! Please help!
