[The character art was drawn by Lin Jingnian himself. My next novel, “The One Everyone Hated Regrets It After Being Reborn,” is previewed below. Kisses!]
“Spilled Water Cannot Be Gathered Back” is a modern danmei novel about the tangled love and hate between the protagonist gong and shou during their school days, and how they reach a happy ending after enduring a whole string of melodramatic plot twists, including love rivals and fights over the family fortune.
The main villain, Meng Cezhou, is bloodthirsty, cold, violent, and unrestrained. He clashes fiercely with the protagonist gong, matching him blow for blow and even seeming to get the upper hand.
The author must have realized there was a problem, because at the end, the villain's intelligence suddenly plummets and he is betrayed by an undercover agent and killed.
Furious, Lin Jingnian posted three hundred comments cursing out the author, then blocked and reported them in one fell swoop.
When he opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated into the novel and become one of the many lovers in the main villain's bed.
At this point, the story had yet to fully unfold, and Meng Cezhou had not yet crossed swords with the protagonist gong. Lin Jingnian only had to save the main villain from the botched ending to have a chance of returning to the real world.
Lin Jingnian: Hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to the main villain.
To get back to the real world, Lin Jingnian diligently became an ever-present camera by the main villain's side, keeping constant watch over the suspicious people around him.
Every day, he nagged in his ear like an overprotective mother: “Everyone but me is bad! They'll all hurt you in the future! I'm the only one who's genuinely good to you!”
In short, Lin Jingnian pulled out all the stops and finally saved Meng Cezhou's life at the end.
He let out a huge sigh of relief. The person he loved was still alive. Before he could even celebrate, the bodyguards charged over and pinned him firmly to the ground.
Meng Cezhou looked down at him from above and gave a cold laugh:
“You've been lying low by my side for all these years. You must be exhausted.”
The real undercover agent stood behind him, completely unharmed, and gave him a smug smile.
Lin Jingnian: ...Kiss your mother!
-
Later, Lin Jingnian learned that he could not return to the real world and would be trapped in the novel forever. The main villain even locked him away in a secluded mansion, hidden from the light of day.
Lin Jingnian: ...I'm done. I'm not doing this anymore!
Though he was confined to the mansion, he had people waiting on him every day and wanted for nothing. Jingnian was so comfortable, he felt like an emperor.
But before he could enjoy even two days of peace, the main villain burst in, grabbed him by the collar, and stared at him with bloodshot eyes:
“Was it you who saved me that day?!”
Lin Jingnian answered without a second thought:
“No.”
And so, the main villain Meng Cezhou went mad.

“The One Everyone Hated Regrets It After Being Reborn”
He Jinyu was nothing like his name suggested: rotten to the core.
Everyone liked the He family's adopted older brother best. His parents doted on him, and even his friends said, “If Zhou Tingchen had met He Bufan instead of you, he might have fallen for him.”
Zhou Tingchen was his boyfriend of four years, and even he liked that guy named He Bufan!
He Jinyu was the family's true heir, yet his parents sent him to live with his grandfather. The huge disparity made him hate the adopted son who had usurped his place to the very core.
So he never gave the adopted son a second glance. At two years old, he was already willing to push He Bufan down the stairs, nearly killing him. As he grew up, it was commonplace for him to hold He Bufan underwater for fun. He used his power to treat him like a cat or a dog.
In the end, He Jinyu got what he wanted: he personally trampled this “outsider” into the mud, leaving him to live in his shadow for the rest of his life.
Everyone called him cruel and ruthless, with the temper of a tyrant, and said he would get what was coming to him sooner or later.
He Jinyu was rotten to the core by nature, and he would never regret it!
But he was deeply in love with Zhou Tingchen. When the Zhou family went bankrupt, he was the only one who reached out to help Zhou Tingchen.
He brought the fallen family's only son home and cherished him like a treasure.
But their life together was far from happy. Zhou Tingchen was cold and dismissive toward He Jinyu, and could not even be bothered to spare a glance at the island He Jinyu had spent half a year designing for him.
Everyone knew Zhou Tingchen detested him. Their relationship had been forced on him from the start.
But He Jinyu was like a man possessed. He refused to let go and clung to him obsessively.
So he got what he deserved. All his evil deeds were exposed, and overnight he became a pariah, cursed by everyone. In the end, he was trapped in his villa one night, where a fire burned it all to ashes.
-
He Jinyu had been strong-willed all his life, and a villain all his life. After his death, his parents left in disappointment, his friends pointed at his corpse and cursed him, and through the roaring flames, Zhou Tingchen looked at him with a face full of hatred.
At last, He Jinyu regretted it.
-
Reborn, he did not want to end up hated by everyone and everything as he had in his previous life. So he put aside feelings he should never have had, lived his own life in peace, and kept his distance from the adopted son.
When he next encountered the bankrupt Zhou Tingchen,
that man was just like in his previous life, humiliated and pinned to the ground by debt collectors, his face filthy as his sad eyes gazed up at him.
This time, He Jinyu did not reach out.
He sighed softly, called his adopted older brother, and left. He never looked at Zhou Tingchen again, even as his figure disappeared into the distance.
The reborn Zhou Tingchen: ?
-
The person he had once hated all his life would never again look at him with such wholehearted joy.
Theme: Press on through hardship, and never forget your original aspirations.

Even though he said he had changed, he didn't even apologize... Then the protagonist's suffering of being imprisoned and having his body hurt was all in vain? Anyway, the author is reluctant to abuse, haha
