Ji Yanqi used to have the character setup of a straight man loved by everyone.

In the book, everyone adored him. He trampled the cannon fodder and crushed the villains, then rose to the top and lived his best life, needing no one else.

But one day, he transmigrated into another book and became a character who shared his name.

The Ji Yanqi in this book had secretly loved Zhou Zhaoxing for six years and been married to him for three. They were a perfect match on paper, yet he was still cannon fodder who couldn't win the love he wanted.

Zhou Zhaoxing had a beloved first love in his heart, as well as a stand-in canary by his side. Ji Yanqi never stood a chance.

His refusal to divorce ended with both his parents dead, his family bankrupt overnight, and the person he loved abandoning him. In the end, he died in tears.

What kind of miserable character setup was this?

No way!

He absolutely wasn't going to live so miserably!

And so, the story gradually took a new direction...

The Zhou Group was about to reveal its newest major shareholder.

The heir to the Ji family of Lincheng had earned over ten million from his investments, becoming a rising business tycoon.

The head of the Zhou family was holding the wedding of the century today. And his bride turned out to be... his current wife?

After Ji Yanqi successfully reinvented himself, he tossed the divorce papers in front of Zhou Zhaoxing. "Sign them."

The man only chuckled. "You want a divorce? In your dreams."

Then Zhou Zhaoxing unbuttoned his shirt and took off his watch, saying calmly, "Isn't getting me what you want? I'll give you the chance."

Ji Yanqi: "..."

Big guy, why are you nothing like your character in the original story?!

After dying suddenly at his desk, Qin Wen transmigrated into a wealthy family's danmei novel as a young master.

He had even been born into it.

Free from the grueling 996 work schedule, he was now a rich young master with a childhood friend and fiance who was a perfect match for him.

Qin Wen thought this was the life.

After twenty years of luxury, he naturally assumed he'd gotten the male lead's role.

Then, on his twentieth birthday, he died. And came back to life.

The System told him that he had to complete missions to stay alive.

Qin Wen was speechless. "Aren't I the male lead of this book?"

System: "You're just a plot device in this book."

Qin Wen: "What?"

Forced to bind to a side character System, his mission was to keep courting death and helping the plot along, so his fiance Yu Shixiu and the true male lead, Xu Yingsheng, could have their great love story.

Xu Yingsheng was the Qin family's adopted son and the true beautiful, strong, and tragic protagonist of the book.

System: "Host, slap Xu Yingsheng right now."

Qin Wen couldn't bring himself to do it. "I'm a person of both fine manners and character. Is it really appropriate for me to slap someone?"

System: "Host, this is a mission you must complete."

Qin Wen trembled. "What happens if I don't?"

The System waved its little hand. "You die immediately."

Smack!

In front of everyone, Qin Wen slapped Xu Yingsheng without mercy.

Everyone was baffled. How could the well-behaved young master of the Qin family do something so outrageous?

Qin Wen gave an awkward laugh. "I was swatting a fly."

No one believed him. His friends accused him of bullying Xu Yingsheng, and even his biological parents were displeased with his change in personality.

Only a man named Yu Shixiu took his hand, gently blew on it, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Qin Wen met his distinctly cool gaze, and alarm bells rang in his heart.

Would he still be able to complete his missions?
