Best friends Song Xiaoya, Yang Xiaoyu, and Zhang Xiaoxiao end up transmigrating into a book after being poisoned by a batch of poisonous mushrooms! They think the System M has assigned them the deluxe “male lead, second male lead, and third male lead” package, so they can help the cross-dressing heroine ascend the throne. Instead, the unreliable System crams all three of them into the body of the third male lead, Song Yi!
Song Xiaoya controls the head, Yang Xiaoyu the left half of the body, and Zhang Xiaoxiao the right.
To fix the bug, System M gives them a “male lead halo.” The three decide to practice on a male courtesan first, only to discover that he is actually the heroine's secret identity, the “Phantom Knight”! Even more absurdly, the halo comes with a “forced bullet-blocking” feature: when the heroine is attacked, every hidden weapon flies toward Song Yi; when she is in danger, Song Yi's body rushes in to take the hit before his brain can react.
From then on, the martial world gains a bizarre sight: the third male lead, Song Yi, is sometimes acting coy and lovestruck (Song Xiaoya is secretly crushing on the heroine), sometimes making finger hearts with his right hand at Ling Ling (Zhang Xiaoxiao is laying it on thick), and sometimes clinging to Xiao Zhan with his left hand (Yang Xiaoyu is aggressively ingratiating herself).
Three souls share one body. They work hard to earn money and raise their favorability, while being forced to take knives and arrows for the heroine and each pursuing a different love interest. Just when System M has a change of heart and finds Yang Xiaoyu and Zhang Xiaoxiao two more bodies, the soul transfer turns them into a fly (Zhang Xiaoxiao) and a mosquito (Yang Xiaoyu). How does this transmigration-into-a-book mission get more absurd the further they go?
Very novel setting
