The Strange Tales Novel's Male Lead Counterpart

It was only after Yuan Yi died that he learned he was the foil to the male lead of a supernatural tale.

In the original story, he and the protagonist traveled to the capital to sit the imperial examinations.

They both encountered a beautiful ghost, but their fates were worlds apart.

The beautiful ghost not only gave the protagonist jewelry and paintings, but also stole the exam questions for him, helping him win third place in the palace examination. He married the daughter of the Chancellor and reached the pinnacle of his life.

As for Yuan Yi, the beautiful ghost drained his vital essence, and he died suddenly in a single night.

But after he transmigrated, he remembered none of this and became close friends with the male lead.

He never expected that the male lead was only using him as a human shield. In the end, the male lead and the beautiful ghost joined forces to kill him.

Given another chance, he resolved to use everything he knew to forge a path to becoming The Outcast, second only to one and above all others.
