Synopsis

Lu Yigui died in a foreign land, in an alley where no one came to claim his body.

Reborn into another life, Lu Yigui had a dream about a book.

In that book, his younger brother was the protagonist's love interest, his childhood friend and rival was the protagonist, and he was a disposable villain destined for a tragic end.

As Lu Yigui watched his ending written in the book with words celebrating his downfall, his first reaction was to run.

Escape the plot, stay away from the main couple, and cherish his life.

[P.S. A romance with two male leads. Not a face-slapping power fantasy, and more focused on everyday life. The supporting characters get quite a lot of page time. The author is terrible at naming things, so don't ask why people or places have the names they do. I don't know either. I'll add more if I think of anything.]

[You can criticize me, but don't criticize the book. It's fine if you do, just don't use insulting language. If you really don't like it and have to leave a comment, post it once. Don't post “bad,” “garbage,” or similar words a hundred times. It really hurts. Thank you for understanding.]

[I hope everyone enjoys reading in a friendly atmosphere. May each day be happy and bright.]

I've read many novels about transmigrating into villains or cannon fodder characters who just want to survive. In all of them, the transmigrator has to grovel and flatter others to gain a chance at life—it's so annoying! I don't really think living is that important! But this novel is quite good.

This book blends patriotism with personal affection. Through small, everyday perspectives, it reveals each person's dreams for their country and their hopes for their own life. The character of the man surnamed Zhao is admirable, embodying the saying "a single misstep can lead to eternal regret," while the character of Chen displays the duality of utter wickedness and purity.

This is incredibly good! If you're patient enough to read it, you'll see how well it's written. Most importantly, it's a sweet and heartwarming romance novel—it's so sweet it melted my heart! Plus, the author is very kind and enthusiastic. 🥰

Wow, this book is amazing! The writing is so delicate, the plot twists are fantastic, and there are so many insightful and relatable sentences. It's truly wonderful. The plot twists alone are really nice. I only understood some of the storylines after reading over a hundred pages. Author, you still have so many plot holes to fill in quickly! ⊙▽⊙ This book includes elements of rebirth, a system, and a swapped prince (a non-traditional version).

I feel this book elevates patriotism to a higher level, and the relationship between the two male protagonists is truly moving. (˵¯͒¯͒˵) Overall, the characters lack depth, their interpersonal relationships are messy and chaotic, and in some places, the character development feels inconsistent. The author may have created too many characters, which makes the story feel disorganized. (౦ ‸ ౦ `)

It has positive values and is very inspiring. It ignites a strong sense of patriotism, I really like it!

The early and middle parts of the story are very good, with elements of resistance, great love, and patriotism, and the values presented are very positive. Those who rise to power by stepping on the blood, tears, and bones of others deserve nothing. Let's expose the vile ones, reclaim our lost glory, and revive our dead souls.
