Blurb:

Sunny, energetic girl x gloomy, world-weary demon king

Sixteen years into her life, Song Shu discovered that she was a disposable side character in a school novel.

She got hit by a car and died right at the beginning, serving no purpose but to bring the male and female leads together.

Song Shu: ...This is so unfair.

After successfully saving herself, Song Shu turned her attention to her deskmate, Yu Jing, a gloomy, antisocial boy who would soon be driven to suicide.

She thought he could be saved, too.

So Song Shu started bringing Yu Jing breakfast every day. "Look at this fried egg. It's big and round, just like the sun! That's right, our lives are like the sun: always blazing bright!"

During breaks, she'd bring out heartwarming stories she'd copied from the internet and pour out eight different doses of chicken soup for Yu Jing each day, hoping he'd stop thinking about ending it all.

In the end, she managed to prevent the tragedy and decided it was time to bow out after a job well done.

But a few days later, the boy with the dark smile cornered her against the wall. He lowered his head and gently nibbled and caressed her finger. "Hmm? Trying to leave?"

Yu Jing wandered through various worlds out of boredom. Whenever he got tired of living, he arranged a way to die for himself. This time, he was a pitiful high school student.

After sixteen years of life, just as Yu Jing was picking a good day to end it all, his new deskmate set her sights on him.

The meddlesome girl made him give up on suicide, but then she wanted to walk away. Yu Jing narrowed his eyes and smiled. That wouldn't do.

Theme: Face life with optimism and positivity.
