After transmigrating into a book as a despised cannon-fodder character, Lin Muci discovers that his friend is the second male lead, destined to sacrifice himself for the protagonists' love, while Lin himself is fated to leave home and spend his life alone.
He refuses to accept it!
If fate has already written the story, then he'll tear out the ending with his own hands. If Jiang Jingshen's “love” is the original sin, then Lin will become the object of that love.
He carefully recreates every coincidence and forges every bond. On the pivotal night, he even takes the place of the original protagonist, Shen Qingyan.
Jiang Jingshen falls for him as they grow closer, but then the plot strikes back with a vengeance. The world seems to have gained a will of its own, desperately trying to drag the story back to its original course.
As everyone begins to question the truth behind this romance, and his friend's fate once again slides toward the abyss, Lin Muci grips the power to rewrite everything, but must face one question:
How can he have both this “stolen” love and the friend he has sworn to protect?
[A calculating, people-playing cannon-fodder bottom x an obsessive, aloof powerful top. An unconventional substitute romance + subverting tropes + healing + not mutually exclusive first times]
After thinking about it for a few days, I still feel bad. The first part was pretty good, but I really couldn't stand Lu Shixu being fucked. I stopped watching it, and then it took me a few days to get over it. I really like Lu, but it made me extremely uncomfortable. I couldn't bear it psychologically, and I really couldn't stand it anymore 🤦. (Sorry, I have a different opinion. The main reason is that Lu plays more roles and is a nice person, so I really can't ignore it.)
