After Failing to Escape the Original Story's Plot

01

The day Yang Yan realized he was the protagonist bottom in a melodramatic novel, he had already stepped right into the story's starting point: Hantan Academy.

Hantan Academy was the place scholars throughout the dynasties dreamed of attending. Its students were all rich or noble, except Yang Yan, who got his chance because his legitimate elder brother had gone mad.

Now Yang Yan knew why this opportunity had landed in his lap.

Fortunately, the story had only just begun.

He still had plenty of time to avoid the plot.

After all, even a single glance at the original story was enough to make him dizzy... The other protagonist top was a deranged monster who would stop at nothing.

Nalan Jin, the protagonist top. The youngest brother of the current emperor, sent by the emperor to Hantan Academy to temper his temperament. Instead, everyone there became his amusement.

As the protagonist bottom, Yang Yan would be the toy he most loved to play with.

Yang Yan: I can't afford to provoke him, but I can stay out of his way.

Nalan Jin had known since childhood that this world was nothing more than the world of a book, and that he was its protagonist.

After all, so many people had tried to kill him over the years that even his emperor of a brother couldn't take it anymore and sent him off to Hantan Academy.

Those who claimed to have transmigrated into a book were repulsive and cowardly, and easy to destroy. They were no fun at all. Nalan Jin had grown tired of killing them, until one day a transmigrator, unable to endure his torment, revealed a huge secret.

This book had two protagonists.

Besides Nalan Jin, there was another protagonist who was meant to be entangled with him until death.

Oh, how interesting.

Nalan Jin wore a wicked, cruel smile.

So there was another little treasure like that?

But how could such an interesting person have failed to appear even once during these few years before the story began?

Yang Yan had considered every possibility, but never imagined that on top of the terrifying fact that the world was a novel, there were also beings as frightening as transmigrators.

When Nalan Jin found him, Yang Yan's mind held only a few words: I'm! So! Dead!

Nalan Jin specifically asked him to be his study companion.

The protagonist top described in the book was terrifying, but around Yang Yan, although he had a terrible personality, he wasn't quite so monstrous.

Sometimes, he was even a little cute.

But as it turned out, a moment's carelessness could be fatal.

When Yang Yan watched the transmigrators die one after another before his eyes, his face turned deathly pale.

Nalan Jin tilted his head in confusion, cradled Yang Yan's face, and said with a bright smile, "Darling, shouldn't you be standing with me?"

After all, you and I are the only ones of our kind in this world.

It was winter when Yang Yan faked his death and ran away.

Freezing cold.

He lay quietly inside the coffin, listening to that man rage and threaten, yet he felt a deep sense of relief.

At last, he was going to be free.

Once he was buried, once he had managed to escape by every means possible, once Yang Yan had finally settled down and begun a new life.

That experience still haunted his nights with one nightmare after another, leaving him drenched in sweat when he woke.

With help from a friend, he hid in a small town, bought a home, and acquired a few acres of farmland.

As he recovered and rebuilt his life, he slowly left that fear behind.

Then one day, Yang Yan decided to make himself useful and weed the fields. The effort brought on a dizzy spell, and a pair of hands reached out to steady him.

Suddenly, a fear he had not felt in a long time seized Yang Yan's heart, making it pound wildly.

No.

The black spots before his eyes slowly, slowly faded.

This was impossible!

He gradually made out the face before him, and at the same time, heard the man's voice.

"Yang Yan."

Just two words.

It was as if all the blood in Yang Yan's body had frozen.

Nalan Jin, the source of all his nightmares, stood right before him. The demon slowly smiled at him, a frenzied excitement spreading across his pale face as he whispered like a ghost.

"I found you."

His precious treasure.

Note: The title and blurb may be changed. This is a melodramatic, forced-love story with a very clichéd abduction-and-domination romance!

Theme: Face difficulties with courage and save yourself from danger amid one perilous situation after another!
