[Locked-room warning]

Other people transmigrate into books where they at least get the same gender. Why is mine different?

That's right: when Yan Zuo opens his eyes, he discovers he has become the heroine of a book.

Yan Zuo: "You could at least have changed my gender!"

System: "Of course, dear."

In the end, he is forced to take over the worst role: a pathetic emperor who dies by the male lead's blade.

Yan Zuo's mouth twitches.

System: "You have to follow the original plot."

Yan Zuo, firm: "No."

The System ignores him. "Also, because you changed identities, you have an extra mission."

Yan Zuo: "What?!"

System: "Raise the male lead into a wise ruler."

Yan Zuo looks at the mad male lead who will carve him up ninety-nine times in the future. "Is it too late to go back now?"

The System kicks him through the portal. "Host, we're in a hurry. Get going first, and contact after-sales support if you have any questions."

Later, the plot strays further and further from its course...

Chains rattle in the cage. The new emperor strokes the red cord around Yan Zuo's wrist and laughs softly. "You taught me to be a wise ruler, A-Zuo. Why did you run away first?"

Yan Zuo trembles and backs away.

History records that during the new emperor's reign, the Great Cang enjoyed peace and prosperity. But no one knew that an old "emperor" was imprisoned beneath the palace.

Another New Year comes. Two blurry figures lie close together on the bed in the sleeping quarters.

"Ninety-nine cuts?"

Amid the flickering candlelight, Yan Zuo touches the savage scar over the other's heart.

Shen Yanjiu takes his hand and presses it to the ninth scar. "I was asking you to remember me for ninety-nine lifetimes."
