After Lian Che found out he had been handed the fake-versus-real young master plot, he switched tracks and entered the online fiction industry, determined to make a fortune writing web novels.
And he actually succeeded. His latest crematorium romance was named one of the year's top ten must-read danmei novels across the internet.
On the day Lian Che attended an in-person interview, a man covered in black feathers descended from the sky and cruelly crushed his throat with a bloodthirsty smile.
"I finally found you."
The speaker came from Lian Che's own story, but he wasn't the male lead. He was the novel's biggest villain, Yun Zhao!

Reborn and bound to an editing System, Lian Che stared at the document on his computer and began working through the night to save himself. He resolved to turn the biggest villain into a living saint of the new era.
"The damn guy has nothing to eat or drink? I'll have him eat himself sick on a banquet every day!"
"The villain has no weapon and is getting bullied? I'll give him an ancient divine sword."
"The sect leader is already dead, so I'll just write in that my good son gets to take his seat."
Ever since he was born, Yun Zhao had been humiliated and trampled on by others. That is, until he met someone who protected him, loved him, and was willing to give him everything.
For the first time, Yun Zhao felt intense longing and possessiveness toward someone. "Who exactly are you?"
Lian Che touched his still-intact neck and decided he needed another layer of protection for his life. He promptly blurted out, "Good son, I'm your biological dad whom you've never met."
Yun Zhao: ...?

Lian Che watched Yun Zhao climb step by step to the very peak of the world in the novel and resolved to write his good son a partner, so he could live happily ever after.
On the day of an in-person signing event, the man covered in black feathers appeared again and grabbed Lian Che by the throat with unerring accuracy.
Lian Che was on the verge of a breakdown. Seriously? After all that work, I'm still going to die?
Yun Zhao pinned Lian Che against the keyboard. The big screen behind them showed the latest chapter: the great villain joyfully marrying the protagonist's love interest.
"If you don't want to die," Yun Zhao threatened, his icy lips brushing Lian Che's ear, "change his name to yours."
Lian Che: ?? Good son, wake up! This is Green River, not Flower City!!
