Help! I Didn't Kill My Rivals!

After An Yi died suddenly, he transmigrated into a character with the same name in a mystery novel.

The original was a minor celebrity, famous in the industry for being gentle, kind, and easygoing, yet somehow he had a lot of rivals.

His rivals were diligent about stirring up trouble every day: dragging him down, stealing his opportunities, and maliciously turning his fans against him.

An Yi, who only wanted to cherish life and live happily, was perfectly at peace.

He didn't fight or compete, and was determined to maintain the original's otherworldly persona to the end.

But one morning, An Yi was woken by a knock at the door. The moment he opened it, a pair of handcuffs snapped around his wrist.

Completely baffled, he learned what had happened from Lin Ji, a criminal investigation consultant:

Recently, three of his rivals had been brutally murdered in ways that betrayed intense hatred.

An Yi was speechless. What does that have to do with me?

Lin Ji only smiled and pulled out a printed screenshot of a Weibo post:

[If you buy another smear piece, GZY is getting murdered by yours truly tonight]

[DH, you got the role, but your mom's dead. Was it worth it?]

[People with only one page in their household register sure talk tough, like BLX]

An Yi: Those are some vicious insults. Let me take another look.

Oh, the original, who was two-faced in public and in private, posted them from an alt account.

...Never mind, then.

Lin Ji: "They think you're two-faced, emotionally unstable, and have a strong motive to commit a crime."

Under suspicion and feeling nervous, Mr. An blurted out without thinking, "Then what do you think of me?"

The consultant Lin froze for a moment. Then his smile grew brighter, and he answered softly,

"I think you're very sweet and adorable."

An Yi: ...?

I don't think you're very normal.

It wasn't until the two of them had gotten close while working together that An Yi suddenly remembered:

In this mystery novel, the serial killer was named Lin Ji.

And he was the last person Lin Ji killed...
