#To survive under the Demon King's thumb, I can only pretend to be his beloved... Wait, his beloved is actually me?#
Ning Juan read a novel about a domineering hero.
The male lead had a close friend he trusted with his life. The two supported each other and were willing to entrust their lives to one another.
Then the friend died saving the male lead.
After that, the story took a strange turn.
For ten years after his friend's death, the male lead kept his corpse by his side. Then, in an accident, not even a trace of the remains was left. The male lead went mad, fell into demonic ways, and became consumed by inner demons.
Ning Juan was conflicted. "...Do straight men all make friends like this?"
Then, Ning Juan transmigrated into the book and became one of the male lead's inner demons.
When he arrived, the previous inner demon had just had his legs broken and been chained to the bed.
The male lead's lips curled into a smile. His fingertips were cold as he stroked the chains. "...This way, Brother Ning won't take matters into his own hands, run off somewhere, and lose his life, will he?"
Then the male lead saw a weak, pitiful, bewildered, newly born Inner Demon No. N: Ning Juan.
First he looked at Ning Juan's neck, then at his legs.
Remembering how the inner demons in the original novel had either their necks cut or their legs broken by the male lead...
Ning Juan's knees went weak.
He dropped to his knees with a sob and huddled in the male lead's arms, telling a colossal lie.
"Song Anqing, I'm back."
-
Taking advantage of his knowledge from having transmigrated into the book, Ning Juan began playing the role of the male lead's dear friend, returned from the dead.
He played the part for so long that even he started to believe it. He thought and rethought his escape plan, but in the end, left it to gather dust in a corner.
Until one day, the real "Ning Juan" appeared.
Like a clown whose disguise had been ripped away, Ning Juan stood frozen in place, utterly mortified.
Song Anqing looked at him with disdain and coldness, as if the tenderness of their past had all turned to ashes, leaving nothing but boundless disgust.
He said, "Get lost."
Then Ning Juan was pierced through the heart by a sword.
-
Only after Ning Juan died did he discover that he had already died twice.
It turned out he was Song Anqing's dear friend all along.
But none of that mattered anymore.
Whoever wants to be the beloved can have the job.
-
The person Song Anqing hated most in this life was himself.
First, because Ning Juan died saving him. Second, because Ning Juan was killed by his own hand.
Ning Juan was a radiant light, a bright moon, but he no longer loved Song Anqing.
Song Anqing could only try to scoop the moon from the water, and come away with nothing but broken reflections.
