Synopsis

[Straight shou / transmigrate into a book / a touch of everyone-loves-him / growing protagonist / win-her-back hell / romantic rivalry free-for-all]

Snarky, straight shou Chen Xian

Dark, beautiful gong Mi Xijin or steady, upright, handsome gong Aletan

The main story has an open ending, with a separate alternate-timeline story after the conclusion.

A straight man's bumpy road to godhood in another world.

Chen Xian transmigrated into a novel set in another world.

Unfortunately, he interrupted the villain's contract, and the villain wanted to kill him.

Fortunately, the villain's contract linked their lives together.

The villain couldn't kill him for the time being.

So Chen Xian became a human-shaped accessory, following the villain around and getting beaten up by the protagonist's crew.

Huh? Why not join the protagonist's crew?

That's hilarious. What attracted Chen Xian to the protagonist in the first place was that he was decisive and didn't have a saintly streak.

If killing Chen Xian meant killing the villain too?!

The protagonist said, “That's a great deal!”

So Chen Xian had to watch out for the villain breaking the contract and killing him, while also hiding his identity and avoiding the protagonist's crew.

Chen Xian: “I'm exhausted...”

Until one day, Chen Xian's identity was exposed.

Chen Xian: “Go ahead and kill me if you've got the guts! None of us gets to live!”

The villain gritted his teeth, but couldn't bring himself to do it.

The original protagonist: “Why does he get to share his life with you?! Why can't I?!”

Where was the villain who was supposed to be dark and sinister?

Who was this person sniveling and begging for forgiveness?

Where was the upright protagonist who was promised?

Who was this person secretly throwing shade at his love rival?

Chen Xian: “I think I transmigrated into a fake book.”

Content warnings

The protagonist starts out as an ordinary, fragile person and grows stronger over time.

There are both men and women who fall for the protagonist.

At first, their feelings are one-sided, and the protagonist won't respond to any of them.

To be honest, the subject matter was really appealing to me. I was willing to give it a try even if it was a bit toxic. But after reading a bit, all I can say is that the protagonist is a very ordinary person. He acts impulsively to survive, but then regrets it after calming down—a classic ordinary person. So, readers with many high-IQ protagonists might find the experience less enjoyable.

It's so good! Author, please make it an all-out story! 💕 (Actually, I'm on the side of the Holy Child, it's so satisfying)

So cute! I really love this kind of protagonist's transformation from naive and innocent to boredom, and then to a "we're all in this together" mentality—it's like watching a kitten! She's a heartthrob but not a naive pushover. By the way, the author really loves the main character; it's so enjoyable and satisfying to watch! So cute!

Although the book got messy towards the end, and you could tell it was trying to finish it, it wasn't suitable for those who wanted to think too much about the main plot. But I absolutely loved Altan, the calm and upright savior-like seme! He was so well-written. After reading this, I discovered this type of decisive, ruthless, and upright seme.

It's a really good book. The synopsis mentions either Misijin or Alleta, and I wonder who the author will choose in the end, or whether they'll choose both. I'm leaning towards Misijin, maybe it's just a preconceived notion, since Chen Xian first met Misijin, and his character is quite good, with a bit of a redemptive quality. I hope the author will give my beloved Mimi a lot of consideration! ❤️❤️

I've read up to episode 142 so far. As someone who's been controlled by the villains, seeing them makes me inexplicably angry. The feeling of having your fate controlled by others and having to compromise and act alongside the villains... Ugh. I definitely still support the original male lead. His guiding lover, Tanko's love, is truly great.

Dear author, I absolutely love this novel! I read it from the recommendation page and finished it immediately, but I still can't get enough! Please update more often! 😳 Currently, the world depicted in the story feels very realistic, and you can sense that each character has their own motivations. It's very well written. Also, why is Chinese appearing in this world?

Wow, this is so good!!! It's so satisfying... The plot flows seamlessly from beginning to end, every character has their own concerns and thoughts, and their personalities are very distinct. Everyone is unique, the story is incredibly coherent, I didn't want to sleep and finished it in one go. It left me feeling both dazed and deeply moved...🥹🔥 The side stories for all routes are great!!

I think this is really good. It's been a long time since I've found a Western fantasy novel that I like this much. It really resonates with me. Let me put it this way, my favorite Western fantasy elements are adventure, knights, magicians, and dark magicians (these are even more cool).
