Rong Ning coughed every few steps and was out of breath every few more. After an accident, he found himself inside a Mary Sue novel.
The bad news: The original owner was a vicious, spoiled cannon-fodder character.
The worse news: He had brought along the heart condition he'd had since birth.
In the original story, the original owner was conceited about his looks and bullied his classmates, relying on his family's wealth. He was notorious at school for being a terrible person.
He wouldn't leave the male lead alone, fantasizing about him every day like a lovesick fanboy and making life difficult for the female lead. In the end, the male lead and his childhood friend teamed up to get him expelled. His family was driven out of the city and eventually went bankrupt.
To change that ending, Rong Ning decided to stay away from the male lead, the female lead, and the male lead's childhood friend.
But gradually, everyone started acting strangely.
His blunt, awkward childhood friend was head over heels. He kept insisting he was straight, while unable to keep his hands off Rong Ning's slender waist and treating him like a delicate princess who might break at any moment.
The cool, refined female lead saw that small, porcelain-white face whenever he woke from a dream at midnight. Those sparkling eyes, lowered with tears, stirred an indescribable desire.
The scheming, venomous male lead acted like an obedient, clingy puppy, but behind the scenes he fought and clawed for what he wanted. Whenever he looked at Rong Ning, his eyes were full of possessiveness, as if he wanted to devour him whole.
Reading guide:
1. Written to indulge my tastes. Rong Ning is very much the bottom, and there are lots of fan terms sexualizing him. Please don't read if that bothers you.
2. All the men are virgins, and they are all very obviously in love with him.
3. The bottom's congenital illness cannot be cured.
4. This isn't a multiple-choice romance. Pei Che is the top.
Theme: Better to live badly than die well.
