The Beloved Canary

Chu Qing discovers that he's the protagonist of a forced-love novel.

He's the beloved of a group of powerful tycoons. He's gentle and beautiful, and everyone is captivated by him.

They all want to possess him, obsessive, terrifying, and reckless.

Their suffocating love is a golden cage, meant to imprison him and shower him with affection day and night.

Chu Qing is so scared his legs go weak.

Luckily, before he can become a canary locked in a golden cage, he dies first.

And so the book is left unfinished...

After living a second life, he discovers that the book's villainous side character has awakened to his own consciousness.

The villain brother decides that this time, he'll live a more exciting life than the protagonist.

And so the gears of fate begin to turn. The tycoons seem to have shifted their attention to the awakened villainous side character.

It seems the protagonist has been changed!

Chu Qing: This calls for a celebration! ⊙▽⊙

But before long, he discovers that he still hasn't escaped the tycoons' attention.

They look at him with smiles, but beneath those feigned smiles lurks a damp, eerie feeling that sends shivers down his spine.

... They seem even scarier than in his previous life.

Even the villainous side character who took his protagonist's halo looks at him with a strangely dark, terrifying gaze...

They're crazy...

Chu Qing's knees tremble.

So much for living a more exciting life than me!
