After My Persona Crumbled, I Stole the Male Lead

An Yan had always thought he was the protagonist of a winner's life, until one day he began dreaming. In his dreams, he lived through his entire life from age sixteen to twenty-seven.

At twenty, Ji Qiao was a domineering CEO, and An Yan took over as the man left to care for his runaway bride.

He graduated from the architecture department of a famous university, and his family's name was on the building where the awards ceremony was held that very night. –The characters with the same names in the original script are not the top and bottom; they are essentially different people. –Set in a fictional world. –Protagonist is the bottom. –Ji Qiao x An Yan (This flirty little couple is staying together forever.
