Synopsis

(Pure angst. Some characters may be out of character. This is a story about redemption; please don’t read if that bothers you. Apologies for the OOC.) “Thud.” The knife slipped from his hand and fell into the bathtub. A smile of relief spread across his face as his consciousness gradually faded from this world.

When he opened his eyes again, he was in a completely different world. Hearing people call a name stirred memories of a hugely popular novel from his previous life: The Grave Robbers' Chronicles. Amid the soft murmurs around him, he was given a new name: Wu Xing. Through the blur and haze, a remarkably clear voice suddenly rang in his ears: “Ding-dong, your Auxiliary System 001 is now online.”

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. The boy who had once known nothing had adapted well to this world. In his previous life, he had always been alone and had long since given up hope of living on. In this life, the one thing keeping him going was the safety and happiness of the five members of the main cast.

He had never thought there was anything wrong with trading one life for five. On the contrary, he thought it was an excellent deal.

With twenty short years and the soul he had given up, Wu Xing successfully protected the five of them, giving them a peaceful life in this world.

When everyone turned their swords against him, Wu Xing simply chose to let himself die.

He had lived two lives, and in both, he found no release and met no good end.

The tragedy of Wu Xing began forty years ago: beyond repair, beyond saving.

(P.S. None of the pairings will be broken up, and of course our protagonist only has one partner~ This story won’t be very long.)

It's so sweet! 🙂 The protagonist abandons everything to protect Wu Xie, and after going through countless hardships, can finally rest and no longer worry about anything else. 🙂 The beginning is a bit angsty, but you absolutely must watch until the end. The system completely protects the host in the end—it's so sweet! 🙂 Author, please tell me where you live! I really want to send you a gift. This story is so well-written! 🙂 It's so sweet! 🙂 I hope the author keeps up the good work! 🙂

This book is so heart-wrenching! I've cried so many times and I still can't get over it. I almost cried myself to death! And author, you can't just punish Nen Niu Wu Fang; what about the Wu family, especially Wu Erbai, Er Jing, Wu Sansheng, and Wu Xing's parents? The most infuriating part is when Wu Erbai made Wu Xie the young master of the Wu family! It's just...😢😢😢😢😢😢 [Please update more frequently][Please update more frequently]😠😠

I love it! It's pure torture for the protagonist! It's all very logical, and the characters' identities are perfectly suited. The protagonist has depression from the beginning, which makes all the subsequent actions seem perfectly reasonable and not abrupt. The protagonist is subjected to all sorts of torture without restraint, forced to have no will to live yet unable to die. Hehe! I love it! More and more!!!

Immortality + the purest soul + a painful past + a glimmer of light that will soon fade away + the most unfortunate life = an unsolvable dead end. After reading this book, I understood a principle. Under the sun and moonlight, no one would deliberately search for an unseen star, nor would anyone seek out the unsung star in the vast sea of stars.

It's so good, really. The protagonist is so desperate; nobody loves him. Reality is too harsh, so let's hope Little Lucky is happy in the extra chapters!

It's really, really, really good, but Xiao Bao's life is so incredibly painful. He desperately wants someone to truly love him instead of using him. I really hate them all. Everyone in Xiao Bao's past and present lives is the culprit who drove her insane! But what did Xiao Bao do wrong? He cared for everyone and loved everyone, but no one loved him. They all used him. In the end, Xiao Bao died.

100% Angst-filled, not a single sweet one...🥺🥺 My star, it's suffocating, my heart aches...🥺🥺 "My name is Wu Xing, Wu as in 'mouth-sky'... Xing as in 'lucky'..." Little Star drank the secret medicine for Wu Xie, and suffered a fate worse than death... He was abandoned by Hei Xiazi time and time again, yet he still thought of him...
