Before his death, Xu Shi devoted himself to research. Just after making a breakthrough, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness! He thought his short life was about to end, but unexpectedly, he transmigrated into a book!

Swept along with the wave of transmigrators, Xu Shi became a nameless background extra destined to die, mentioned only in passing in the book. He also had a mission: save the Villain!

Faced with a System that couldn't answer a single question and a mission he had no idea how to complete,

Xu Shi thought:

A fresh start! Watch me change my fate as a doomed extra and take back everything that belongs to me! (Not really.) Haha, life was exhausting enough last time. Maybe I’ll just take it easy this time.

And so…

He ate, drank, slacked off, and went about his mission in a laid-back way.

Until one day, the Villain pinned him to the bed, eyes red and voice trembling:

“You can't stop loving me…”

Xu Shi: ???

Weren't you supposed to be a heartless monster? How are you the one breaking character first?!

One day, Zhuang Langran finds a mysterious number on his wrist. It seems to be connected to the white-haired young man who suddenly appeared in his life…

Zhuang Langran thought he would never feel joy again, not in this lifetime, until he met Xu Shi.

A man who had shut himself away for a long time meets someone who unexpectedly knocks on his door.

Their lives follow entirely different paths, yet their hearts draw closer and closer.

Until one day, the heartless monster is the first to shed tears.
