After the college entrance exams, Qi Guanrong transmigrated to a world where the supernatural was returning and strange tales were everywhere. One day, he transmigrated back.
When he returned, he was tied up from head to toe and about to be killed. With difficulty, he recalled the role he used to play.
Before he turned eighteen, he was a stand-in for his adoptive parents’ missing biological son; a tool for the person he loved to reminisce about their childhood sweetheart; a replacement.
After the Qi family’s biological child came home, he became an ungrateful usurper who had taken someone else’s place, a despicable person.
It sounded pretty tragic, but so much time had passed that he’d forgotten how it used to feel.
Leaving the past behind, he resolved to enjoy a peaceful, quiet new life. Then he met someone who was sometimes clueless and sometimes clever, and who pursued him in all seriousness using a baffling romance guidebook. Their efforts led to one ridiculous scene after another. The awful thing was, they really did win him over.
In the world of rule-bound horror, rules govern everyone and everything, from eating and drinking to wars between nations.
As the most vast and terrifying rule-bound horror, the being named the Lord of Fear was killed by humans on the day it took on a human personality, though it did not die completely. It watched as a human with a pair of beautiful eyes swallowed up every other horror. It liked being watched by him, and that feeling stirred something strange inside it. It decided this must be what humans called falling in love.
Then, one day, it arrived in a new world with a human body of its own, and decided to pursue the one it loved.
