Becoming the Villain's Childhood Friend (Transmigrate into a Book)

It wasn't until Lu Chengyan's sixteenth birthday that he realized he was living in a book.

And his childhood friend Pei Yunzhi, who had grown up with him and constantly clashed with him, was the story's great villain.

In the book, Pei Yunzhi came first in the imperial examinations at sixteen. He went on to join the Hanlin Academy, become an Imperial Reader, and rise to the position of Vice Minister, leaving everyone else in his wake. He was a peerless young genius.

Unfortunately, despite his seemingly noble and elegant bearing, he was a truly corrupt and treacherous official.

After a few years in court, he secretly allied himself with rebels and traitors, took part in factional struggles and political purges, and even plotted to usurp the throne. He committed every sort of treasonous crime!

In the end, after his plot was exposed, he was executed and his property confiscated. Even the Lu family, who had been friends with the Pei family for generations, could not escape the disaster. They were implicated and exiled.

The Lu and Pei families had been close for a hundred years and were bound by marriage as well as friendship. Lu Chengyan had no way to make the two families completely sever ties, but he also didn't want to be dragged down and destroyed.

So he could only try to get through to Pei Yunzhi.

When Pei Yunzhi went to cultivate ties with powerful people, Lu Chengyan barged into their rooms and tried to talk him out of it.

When Pei Yunzhi socialized with corrupt officials, Lu Chengyan showed up and made a nuisance of himself, doing his best to disrupt things.

To keep Pei Yunzhi from going astray, he lectured him every day: "Even if it's just for my sake, could you be a good official?"

Over time, everyone in official circles knew that the newly appointed top scholar had a pretty young man by his side. Before they were even married, he had already turned Pei Yunzhi into a henpecked husband.

Only then did Lu Chengyan realize he might have gone too far.

Now that Pei Yunzhi had a good reputation and no longer seemed like a corrupt official, Lu Chengyan wanted to rein himself in and keep some distance between them.

But on the very first day, Pei Yunzhi cornered him in his room.

With his usual calm and unruffled air, Pei Yunzhi tipped up his chin and gave it a familiar rub.

Then he gazed at him intently and spoke softly by his ear. "Brother Chengyan, you wouldn't want your foolish younger brother to start going astray, would you?"
