When the apocalypse arrived and zombies surrounded the city, Liu Kaixi swallowed the treasure and blew himself up, dying full of unwillingness.
When he opened his eyes again, he learned that the world they lived in was actually a post-apocalyptic novel, and that his boyfriend, Yu Cheng, was the story's male lead. Sadly, Liu Kaixi wasn't the male lead's love interest.
Liu Kaixi laughed in disbelief. He'd never been able to accept that he was the one who turned and left Yu Cheng at the moment Yu Cheng's life was in danger. Now he understood: if he didn't run away, how could the male lead's love interest get the chance to save the hero? If he didn't run away, how could Yu Cheng hate him?
If Yu Cheng didn't hate him or feel disappointed in him, how could he give the spatial jade pendant to the male lead's love interest?
The novel's author sure knew how to make this damn chain reaction work!
But now that he was reborn, he would break free of the plot and take control of his own life. The money was his, the jade pendant was his, the supplies were his, and even the strongest base would be his. As for Yu Cheng, he could leave him to the male lead's love interest!
A short scene:
Yu Cheng: Baby, why are we taking this road?
Liu Kaixi: Don't call me baby. I'm taking you to find your boyfriend!
Yu Cheng: But everyone knows you're my boyfriend...
Liu Kaixi: You'll regret saying that later.
Yu Cheng: Heh. (Clinging to him with arms and legs, proving his point through actions...)
A reborn love interest who seems scheming but is actually innocent x a doting top who seems guileless but is actually full of tricks
PS1: They loved each other deeply in their previous life. But after the top was bitten, he mistakenly thought the love interest had abandoned him. And when the love interest saw the top with someone else, he thought he'd been abandoned. These misunderstandings were all caused by the plot pulling them along.
The male lead's love interest from the novel won't be portrayed as a villain. He's just like the rest of us and will write a story of his own.
PS2: A very traditional zombie story, with some stockpiling in the early chapters.
Theme: When the apocalypse strikes, humanity must unite!
