Only after Shi Wang died did he learn that he was the protagonist of a melodramatic wealthy-family novel.
He was gentle and kindhearted. He repeatedly forgave his childhood sweetheart and lover for cheating on him, and couldn't bring himself to turn away his blood family, who were trying to leech off him. As a result, his career was ruined and his friends turned against him.
After a car accident, his family kept him in a nursing home and psychologically abused him. When he learned that his eyes could never be healed, he died in despair.
Shi Wang: 6
Shi Wang: This is the protagonist? Whoever wants this unlucky role can have it. I'm done.
Given a second chance at life, he finally sees sense. He lets go of the urge to help and respects other people's fate.
His scummy lover comes looking for him: “Can you really let go of all the years we've spent together?”
Shi Wang: “I can.”
Shi Wang: “Whoever can't let go is a dog.”
Scummy lover: “...”
Facing a friend who refuses to see reason:
Shi Wang: “I understand your difficulties, but pay me back first.”
Shi Wang: “You don't want to take this through the legal system, do you?”
Facing his blood family, who come crying and trying to play on his feelings again:
Shi Wang: “Buddha says all beings suffer, and the only way is to let go.”
Shi Wang: “Stop crying. However miserable you are, I can take it in stride, since you deserve it.”
Scummy parents: “...”
After he gets rid of all those scumbags and prepares to enjoy a carefree life, he discovers that his longtime nemesis doesn't seem quite the way he remembers.
