If the Ruler Wants His Minister Dead, Can the Minister Refuse?

Meng You inexplicably finds himself inside a book. The System says it is giving him a free chance to experience life all over again.

Meng You sneers. "Go through life as a tool for others again? How do I have to die to satisfy you?"

The System gives an awkward laugh. "Host, don't be so pessimistic. Just give it a try."

And so Meng You is shoved into a book that's supposedly very sweet.

He is given parents whose love melts snow like the warmth of spring,

friends who share his ideals like lofty mountains and flowing waters,

a demure and lovely fiancee,

and everything else Meng You has longed for...

But nothing in this world comes for free.
