Reborn as the Villain's Ex-Boyfriend Before His Death Wish

Synopsis: Qi Liang transmigrates into a scum-and-junkie romance novel, becoming the arrogant, holier-than-thou protagonist.

The original Qi Liang got together with the antagonist because he was handsome. Later, he decided the man was too poor, climbed into the bed of a rich man, dumped the antagonist, and left with the wealthy scum gong who had powerful connections.

But it wasn't long before the antagonist's identity as a secret millionaire was exposed.

The original Qi Liang bitterly regretted his choice and begged to get back together. The antagonist tormented him until he was a wreck, while the scum gong washed his hands of the whole mess. In the end, the original Qi Liang died miserably on the street.

And Qi Liang happens to arrive just as the original Qi Liang breaks up with the antagonist, with the scum gong showing up to ask him to start dating. What a battlefield.

Qi Liang: ...

To avoid meeting the same end as the original, Qi Liang cautiously befriends the antagonist, doing everything he can to please him and never daring to anger him, afraid that on a whim the man might play him to death.

So...

When it rains, Qi Liang holds an umbrella for him. When the wind blows, Qi Liang lends him a coat. When he's hungry, Qi Liang orders him takeout. When his bed gets cold, Qi Liang... brings him a hot-water bottle.

This behavior of his, along with his cautious yet irresistibly seductive gaze, draws Cen Yi's attention even more.

After the time when the original Qi Liang was supposed to die on the street has passed, Qi Liang breathes a sigh of relief and stops doing whatever Cen Yi asks. But he never expects Cen Yi, who once paid him no mind, to suddenly pull him into his arms and ask, "Why haven't you come to see me lately?"

A little while later, Cen Yi adds, "I've been waiting for you for so long."

Cen Yi has recently noticed that Qi Liang, who used to be obsessed with wealth and status, has changed a lot.

Not only has he started working hard as a trainee, he doesn't look down on Cen Yi's "background" at all. He has even become his friend and likes to give him things whenever he gets the chance.

Later, Qi Liang joins a highly anticipated talent competition, makes his debut on the strength of his abilities, and gains a huge following with his striking looks and great fan engagement. He becomes one of the biggest stars around, famous at the height of his popularity.

Fans: Ahhh, his face is so gorgeous, he hits me right in the heart every day! Aaaah, I'd give you my life!!!

When Cen Yi sees him shining brilliantly onstage, a glimpse of his pale, slender waist accidentally exposed...

Cen Yi admits that his heart is racing.

Like a dragon hoarding the treasures it loves, Cen Yi uses threats and promises to finally keep Qi Liang by his side.

Looking at the comments on Weibo and the beauty's pretty face, with its red lips and white teeth, Cen Yi lets out a low chuckle. "Don't even think about escaping. You'll always be mine."

* 1v1, HE, in a setting where same-sex marriage is legal

* A self-indulgent, melodramatic story. Everything serves the romance.
