Synopsis

After leaping from a bridge, Yi Fanwei learned that his entire life was nothing more than that of a background character in a campus novel.

At first, he followed Yin Weiche and Jiang Yuxi around like a lackey, constantly clashing with Yan Danke.

He thought the worst that could happen was being killed in revenge.

“Please...”

His father’s medical bills were still just a little short.

The handsome young man knelt on the cold, luxurious floor.

A pair of carefully polished black leather shoes slowly came into view.

A voice like a demon’s reached his ears, and the young man’s pupils instantly contracted.

“Why should I?”

“Weren’t... weren’t we friends?”

After days of rushing around without sleep, his voice came out hoarse and unpleasant.

Those deep blue eyes curved slightly.

“Butler, show him out.”

A race car roared past.

“Are you blind? Can’t you see I lost the race? Get lost.”

It turned out that the role he’d been given didn’t even qualify him to be involved in the protagonists’ later entanglements.

In his bewilderment, he was given another chance to start over.

This time,

nothing mattered more than his family.

As for himself, he would stick to his own script, stay out of the protagonists’ affairs, and retire from the story after college, having accomplished what he set out to do.

An ant no longer gazed up at the ladder to heaven.

So,

even after holding back time and again, Yi Fanwei finally blurted out, “Where did you come from all of a sudden?”

The young man tilted his head, dimples appearing as he smiled.

“I’m free. Want to take me in?”

But,

if someone he hated kept provoking him over and over, even an ant would find the courage and determination to fight back.

This is a fictional setting, and a very loosely constructed one at that.

The pacing is super, super slow.

Old-school melodrama, amateurish writing.

Readers, please prepare yourselves.

A polite bow.

It's really good! This book has a unique kind of exhilarating feel to it. While everyone seems like a villain, they're not entirely evil; none of them are simple-minded. Wei Bao is also very determined and keeps trying to save herself. The slow pace doesn't matter; I feel this book is perfectly suited to this rhythm. It's really good! I stayed up all night to read the latest update.

It's well-written, but the ugliness of human nature depicted in it truly disgusted me. Yet, I was also captivated by the protagonist's aloofness. Actually, I found the male lead's various actions repulsive; I felt he was used to being a pampered young master, pursuing someone he loved without considering the feelings of the other person. Perhaps it's because I've never been in a relationship, but this made me feel very uncomfortable. 😖😲

The writing is so much better than those 9-point-somethings, and the characters are incredibly vivid, especially that guy Yan something-or-other—his loneliness, the way he embodies both good and evil, is amazing! If the supporting characters are this well done, the main character is even better! [Salute] ❤️👍

It's good! It's been a long time since I've found something I like on Tomato. The original protagonist's character isn't one-dimensional, which is great. But I really want to see some censorship. Author, please, please let Che and Jiang have a dramatic, wife-chasing-after-the-cremation scene!

Absolutely amazing...👍👍 The main character's personality is well portrayed. I've seen novels use this kind of old-fashioned setting before, but this one is really well written! At first, I was a little disappointed when I saw that it was about rebirth, but this novel immediately grabbed my attention and made it impossible to put down (⑉°з°)-♡

After listening to the update, I'll give it a good review. The main character's description always carries a subtle sadness. As for the other main characters, their imaginations are like black holes: one is sunny, energetic, and love-obsessed; another is arrogant, melancholic, and love-obsessed; and the third is a sinister, seemingly gentle, pitiful, and hateful creature.

I absolutely love this book, especially Xiao Yi's personality!! And his interactions with his parents. Of course, I'm even more eager to read about Xiao Yi's shining moments ๛ก(ｰ̀ωｰ́ก)

I stayed up all night to see the latest update! It's so good! I don't understand why the rating is so low. Every character is so well-developed. Even though some of them are incredibly powerful, you can find a reason for their power (although some are just plain cheesy). But it's really, really good!!! The plot is so dramatic and suspenseful.
