The Book Says I'm Going to Die, Sob

Today's update will be a little late. I'll try to post the ending before midnight. The neighboring novel, The Funhouse Mirror: A Register of Supernatural Transmigration Cases, is open for advance reservations. Please check it out! Why do violent incidents keep happening on the sports field at dusk? Why do cries of agony suddenly ring out from an empty bathhouse? Why are two grown men crammed onto a narrow single bed in the dead of night? Is it a loss of humanity, or a collapse of morality? Tune in to today's episode of Close-Up on Niutou Mountain. In the year 518 of the Empire, He Jiayin was imprisoned for a crime. On the third day of his imprisonment, he learned that the world he lived in was actually a cheesy romance novel, and that he now knew the entire plot. But it was no use. The story had already reached its conclusion, and he was about to die in this prison. Faced with the female lead's admirers making life difficult for him, He Jiayin could only cling to the villain's coattails to save his own skin. He worked tirelessly, took every beating and insult, and followed the service motto, “Be warm and proactive, and trade my sincerity for your smile,” keeping the villain thoroughly comfortable. Smiling on the outside, cursing on the inside! A portrait of He Jiayin (bottom) Look up, and you'll see that heaven lets no one get away with it! A portrait of Zhao Xi (top) A coming-of-age male lead. Prison story in the early chapters, with the entertainment industry possibly coming into play later. Theme:
