[Two male leads + both pure + one-on-one romance + a little goofy + self-rescue after transmigrating into a book]
[Unhinged, foxlike Demon Venerable gong vs. theatrical transmigrated cannon-fodder shou]
A friendly warning: This story is told mainly from Shen Yan's perspective, with few scenes from anyone else's point of view. It's also fairly short, so please keep that in mind before reading!
On his first day after transmigrating into a book, Shen Yan finds himself facing a death sentence from the start. The original host drugged the villainous Demon Venerable? Shen Yan downs the stuff himself, then launches into a dramatic confession on the spot!
But the unhinged Demon Venerable refuses to follow the script and carries him straight back to his lair.
As Shen Yan acts out a desperate bid to survive under the man's watchful eye, he gradually realizes...
The other man saw through every one of Shen Yan's disguises long ago. Shen Yan's clumsy performance is his only source of entertainment. What Shen Yan considers a flirtatious attempt to save himself looks to him like a little snack willingly delivered to his door.
Only after his escape attempt fails and he is held captive in the man's arms does Shen Yan realize that their act has long since become real.
It's okay, it's pretty.
