Xu Qiqi is a carefree programmer who suddenly dies from overwork and transmigrates into a novel about a stand-in.
In this novel, the protagonist, Shi Yi, is the youngest general in the Empire. A pampered, privileged darling of fate, he has pale jade-green eyes that seem to keep the whole world at a distance.
No one knows that this man has a soft spot in his heart for one dazzling moon: Xu Qiqi's older brother.
As for Xu Qiqi, he is nothing more than an expendable replacement, from beginning to end.
While reading the novel, countless readers wanted to grind Shi Yi and the author to dust and feed them to the dogs.
But once Xu Qiqi figured out what was going on, he burst into tears of excitement:
"Mommy! Sob, sob! My daydream finally came true!"
-
Xu Qiqi has been mentally and physically wrecked by 007 work schedules and greedy capitalists. Every time he read about a stand-in in the story who didn't have to do a thing yet had money, a house, and a stable, happy life, envious tears would stream uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth.
At last, the day he died at his computer, his dream came true.
[The person who uses someone as a stand-in will definitely mistreat him, but I'm not sure if this counts as a groveling-to-win-him-back arc. After all, Qiqi doesn't love the love interest at first. How can you lose love if there was never any to begin with?]
[Mainly about Qiqi's carefree, happy life]
Theme: You should always have a dream. Who knows, it might come true?
