[Male protagonist’s perspective + wish fulfillment] [One female lead, one-on-one romance]
Li Yunzhou never imagined that he, an ordinary college student whose only claim to fame was getting into a top-tier university, would one day transmigrate in a strange twist of fate and become a baby with the same name in another world.
He grows up in this world, studying and taking exams as expected, thinking his life will remain peaceful and ordinary. Then, after the provincial exam, he visits his mentor’s home and sees a little boy introduced by his teacher with a smile as “Zhou Mo.”
In an instant, Li Yunzhou is struck as if by lightning.
He finally remembers: he has not transmigrated to just any other world. He is inside an imperial-examination novel he once read!
The unremarkable little boy before him is the future power behind the throne.
And he himself is merely a minor character, a cannon-fodder first love with barely any lines.
He once helped the male lead when the boy was young, but when the latter begins his career in the imperial examinations, political enemies will use him as a scapegoat and send him to provide disaster relief, where he will ultimately perish in a famine-stricken land.
Looking into the boy’s clear eyes, Li Yunzhou clenches his fist.
He does not want to be a stepping stone, and he certainly does not want to die.
The male lead can follow his path, but Li Yunzhou intends to keep his own life.
