Yu Tianxin had suffered from a terminal illness for years. Frail and riddled with sickness, he died with a heart full of resentment.
But after death, he opened his eyes again.
He had transmigrated into a book, into a story about wealthy families in the modern city, where the adored and unforgettable love interest was sent abroad to live...
Whatever that gibberish book was about, who cared!
Thrilled to finally have a healthy body, Yu Tianxin jumped up, threw a few punches, grabbed his luggage, and hurried out the door.
Chapter One: The Beloved Returns Home!
At the airport, a flight attendant apologized and told him the flight was overbooked. They rebooked him for the next day.
Yu Tianxin: ?
The next day, he got into a car accident on the way to the airport and nearly died again.
On the third day, rare heavy fog grounded every flight at the airport.
...Isn't this supposed to be a story about a beloved, adored by everyone? Why won't they let the beloved come home?!
Yu Tianxin was shocked. Yu Tianxin was confused. Yu Tianxin read the entire original novel.
The Yu Tianxin in the book really was an unforgettable love interest, cherished by countless characters, but he wasn't the protagonist. The protagonist was his younger brother, Yu Zhiyun.
After Yu Tianxin went abroad, Yu Zhiyun won the hearts of everyone who had once been infatuated with him, thanks to his similar looks and his innocent, sweet nature. His older brother, his childhood friend, his senior at school, every last one of them fell for him.
Over five years, the substitute right in front of them became the beloved everyone fought over, while the love interest far away became the villain everyone despised.
The day Yu Tianxin finally returned home would mark the beginning of his fate as the hated stepping stone.
Yu Tianxin: …What kind of stupid plot is this?
Yu Tianxin: Damn it, if you miss me, then come visit me abroad!! Is it really that hard to take a plane?!
...Okay, maybe it is that hard.
Beneath the clear blue sky, Yu Tianxin stared at the giant aircraft that wouldn't carry him home for another five years and gave a cold laugh.
So he can't fly home because it's not his turn in the story yet?
Just wait.
-
Two months after Yu Tianxin went abroad, the Yu family went bankrupt, his father fell gravely ill, and even the eldest son, who had long since left the family, came home for a visit. Yet Yu Tianxin, the second son who had been cherished by the entire family, never once asked after them.
The youngest son, Yu Zhiyun, who had always been overlooked, explained through tears on his behalf: "Brother didn't do it on purpose. He just can't accept that the family has ended up like this... Maybe he's too busy..."
The usually restrained and composed eldest brother's expression darkened. He called, but no one answered.
His gentle, refined senior, who happened to be heading to F Country for a seminar, frowned. "I'll go see what Tianxin is so busy with."
A week later, the senior returned home, looking dazed.
When people asked him what had happened, he swallowed, his face unusually cold and scornful. "Tianxin really is too busy. He's too busy to see any of you."
People began to hate the once elegant, noble beloved.
Meanwhile, the senior silently made fifty trips to F Country in a single year.
Meng Xia was the last of them to reunite with Yu Tianxin.
He couldn't understand it. His childhood friend had always been so false, despicable, and cold, so why had those who had already seen Yu Tianxin for what he was betrayed Zhiyun one after another?
Zhiyun was so good. He would never be as blind as those idiots!
Amid the clamor of the airport, Meng Xia heard someone call Yu Tianxin's name and looked over with scorn in his eyes.
His breath caught.
The glass wall reflected a tall, slender figure approaching. The young man stood straight, his uniform fitting neatly around his long legs, the gold fringe on his epaulets glinting with each step. Striking features, thin lips.
It was Yu Tianxin, whom he hadn't seen in five years.
He was looking with an amused smile at a man approaching with flowers. "Again? I've told you, I don't have time for romance right now."
The man casually took the flight case from his hand. This was the same aloof, noble face Meng Xia had only ever seen on television, yet now he bent down to coax him. "I know. That's why I'm waiting for the day you become a captain."
"Luckily, that day is almost here. Tianxin, you'll be the youngest captain in history."
There used to be so many people waiting for Yu Tianxin.
But Yu Tianxin now seemed even more radiant and captivating than before.
Meng Xia stood there in a daze, instinctively reaching out to grab his once-inseparable childhood friend.
Amid countless fervent gazes, Yu Tianxin raised an amused eyebrow and smiled. The roses in his arms perfumed the air as he brushed past Meng Xia.
He didn't even glance at him.
