Youyou was the weakest zombie in the apocalypse, barely surviving each day by scavenging through garbage. Then one day, he suddenly transmigrated to another world.
Here, he had a mom and dad who loved him, no more running for his life from ability users and giant zombies, and endless delicious food... What made Youyou happiest of all was meeting a handsome older boy who also loved scavenging through garbage!
Though the handsome older boy often kept a cold face and ignored him, Youyou was used to the ugly faces of giant zombies. This older boy never hit him, was super good at scavenging, and even helped chase away the fierce big dogs. He was such a nice, nice person!
From then on, a little shadow began following the handsome older boy everywhere.
The older boy went from telling him to “get lost” to letting him choose the “treasures” they'd found first, and even spent the coins he'd saved for a week to buy him sweet ice cream.
Youyou really liked the handsome older boy and wished that they could scavenge together every day forever. Then, as he slowly grew a brain, he realized he'd transmigrated into a novel he'd found while scavenging in the apocalypse, The Beloved Childhood Friend of a Wealthy Family.
The novel told a sweet romance between two childhood friends. The shou protagonist was abused by his uncle and aunt from a young age and bullied by a minor villain, but luckily the gong protagonist from next door always protected him in secret, helped him face-slap the minor villain, and drove away the vicious school bully who wouldn't leave him alone. In the end, the two overcame countless obstacles and got into the best university together, while all the bad guys got what they deserved and met their own miserable ends.
But Youyou was neither the gong protagonist nor the shou protagonist. He was the minor villain who liked bullying people, and the handsome older boy was the vicious school bully!!!
Youyou: The book must have gotten it wrong. He's so well-behaved, he would never bully anyone, and the older boy is so nice, he can't be vicious!
Then, that afternoon, when Youyou went to see the handsome older boy with the snacks he'd secretly saved, he saw the older boy cornering the shou protagonist. The older boy looked so fierce, and the shou protagonist seemed about to cry.
Youyou: There, there must be some kind of misunderstanding.
The next day, Youyou brought a new toy his mom had bought him to play with the older boy, only to find him glaring at the gong protagonist, and the two looked ready to fight.
Youyou: ...
On the third day, Youyou arrived at the garbage dump with dark circles under his eyes. He hesitated, then took a textbook on moral education from his chest. He'd stolen it from his older brother.

Cheng Yi had grown up in a dark, forgotten corner. Like a rotten mushroom, he thought he was no different from the garbage, something people had thrown away and despised.
Until one day, in a filthy garbage dump, he saw a clean, fair little kid staring intently at him, his eyes full of an innocent admiration Cheng Yi couldn't understand.
From then on, the only light in his life appeared.
But he gradually realized that this little sun had other followers, too. The thought of driving all those pests away, of keeping this little sun all to himself, surged through his mind.
Everyone who knew him knew he was a little psycho. No one could take away anything he'd set his sights on or picked up. Those two idiots who were always hanging around the little sun were no exception. He was going to...
“Big Brother, let's read a fun book together!” Youyou's soft, sweet voice interrupted his thoughts.
Cheng Yi looked at the large title on the cover, Moral Education, and fell silent.
How could he possibly read something so stupid?
Then he turned and met Youyou's watery eyes. Cheng Yi said, “Mm, sure.”
And so he and Youyou read every elementary-school moral education textbook, as well as the middle- and high-school textbooks on morality, law, and politics... By the time Cheng Yi had finished General Principles of Civil Law and Criminal Law, Youyou had borrowed Personality Rights Law from the library again. Cheng Yi's eyelid twitched. How many times would he have to explain that he really wasn't going to break the law or commit crimes before Youyou believed him? Even his patience had limits!
Youyou blinked, looking worried. “Big Brother, don't you want to study?”
Cheng Yi sighed. “I do.” He really did.
