Chu Nian transmigrates into a book, specifically an old-school, melodramatic Mary Sue tragedy, as the ill-fated protagonist who shares his name.
According to the plot, he will encounter three scumbag love interests in his life.
★ During his impoverished student days, he has to care for his paralyzed grandmother every day, so his only school uniform always reeks.
His classmates' disgusted, judgmental stares and his teachers' disappointment as his grades slip weigh on him until he can barely breathe, day or night.
Scumbag No. 1 is his gentle boy-next-door big brother. He likes boys, but also finds them disgusting.
"Nian Nian, I want to hold you, but can you make sure I don't see that part of you?"
★ He makes his debut in the entertainment industry with a face hailed as the most beautiful in the business. His company casts him as an aloof, untouchable beauty.
Scumbag No. 2 is his sunny, enthusiastic junior, but beneath the surface, the junior is a dark, obsessive pervert.
He takes advantage of the protagonist's resources, then, after becoming a top-tier star overnight, leaks a story to the media that paints Chu Nian as a villain who used his connections to keep his junior as a sugar baby.
"Big brother, just stay home. If you go out, people will insult you. Don't worry, I'll come back to keep you company as soon as I'm done."
★ He marries into a wealthy family, in a melodramatic stand-in plotline.
But why won't you let me leave now that your white moonlight has come back?
In the end, the protagonist suffers a mental breakdown and jumps to his death. The three scumbags come to their senses, then live out their lives in misery and solitude.
Chu Nian: What? Are these people insane?
He's going to take all three of these idiots down.
Theme: Treasure your life, and stay away from idiots.
