Why Am I the One Suffering When You're the Ones Hurt in Body and Mind?

[Superpowers] [Multiple heroines] [No System] [Redemption] [Scheming protagonist]

“Is there anything in this world more frightening than death?”

As long as you’re alive, no matter what you’ve been through or how painful life is, it’s a hundred times better than being dead. This was Liu Yuan’s unshakable belief ever since he came of age.

Why should I feel sad when someone else gets hurt? I’m not the one who’s injured. Selfishness is an instinct of living things. What people call empathy is nothing but self-righteous wishful thinking.

Yet this young man, who held such beliefs, was forced to bear pain that wasn’t his for the sake of others.

(It’s the other characters who need redemption, not the protagonist.)
