He Lin was a law-abiding citizen, but one day, after clicking an unfamiliar link, he transmigrated into a novel titled I Will Shake the Martial World.
It was bad enough that he wasn't the male lead. He didn't even count as a cannon-fodder character. His job was to follow the protagonist, Shu Yuan, around at all times and record her daily life like a surveillance camera.
He was also given a few rules: If readers dislike his character, he dies! If he gets in the female lead's way, he dies! If he holds her back, he dies, too!
He Lin had no choice but to overcome countless hardships before finally making it to Shu Yuan's side, hoping to become a familiar face to her.
But why had no one told him that Shu Yuan was a tyrant?
Sure enough, He Lin broke the rules again and again, and could only start over with a new account.
By the end, Shu Yuan had bullied He Lin so much that he had fallen for her. Of course Shu Yuan could be the female lead: she was undeniably charismatic...
But I digress. The female lead can torment him a thousand times, and he'll still treat her like his first love.
