When Zhou Ze wakes up, he finds himself inside a dark school novel he once read, in the role of the PE teacher who shares his name, a villain who inflicts physical and emotional abuse on the protagonist, Shen Xinghe, and meets a tragic end.
Seeing the boy in the alley, covered in bruises from bullying yet stubbornly silent, Zhou Ze feels as if an invisible hand has clenched his heart.
He is supposed to be the abuser, but he can't turn a blind eye to this broken light before him.
"From now on, I've got your back." He hears himself say.
From that moment on, the gears of fate turn in a direction no one could have predicted.
[Redemption, healing, no angst. A cold, hard exterior hiding a soft heart: the PE teacher x A brilliant student who suffers early on but shines brightly later]
Actually, this should be a short story.
