The Cannon Fodder's Thoughts Were Read by the Male Lead

[Downcast, easygoing cutie bottom VS often-grumpy workaholic top]

In his previous life, Chi Ci worked himself to the bone studying for graduate school and civil service exams. Just as he entered the ranks of promising young adults, he died in a plane crash.

When he woke up, he had transmigrated into a business novel he'd just read, as a pitiful kid with the same name who was living with the male lead, Shang Lin.

The kid's parents died in a car accident caused by the male lead. Guilt-ridden and hoping to protect him, the male lead took him in. But the kid was manipulated by the villain and, through a series of unfortunate coincidences, dealt the male lead a fatal blow.

Transmigrated Chi Ci: So I got the villain's script...

He furrowed his brow, trying to think of a way out.

Three seconds later:

Chi Ci: Everyone dies eventually. It doesn't matter if it's sooner or later.

(He slowly pulls up the covers and lies flat.)
