Lan Jing has synesthesia and can tell how someone is feeling from the color of their pupils.
Red means displeasure, blue means sadness, purple means happiness, and yellow means... Ahem.
One day, he accidentally transmigrates into a melodramatic novel and becomes a disposable character doomed to die horribly after making everyone’s lives miserable.
The character is an adopted young master who is convinced the head of the family favors him. He schemes to seize the family fortune time and again, even going so far as to secretly attack his eldest brother, the heir.
Remembering the character’s grisly end in the book, where “every bone in Lan Jing’s body was crushed, and he was flattened into a bloody pancake,” he shudders violently!
-
His eldest brother, Lan Langxing, is a gifted, aloof beauty on a pedestal. He has always looked down on this scheming adopted younger brother.
To stay alive, Lan Jing keeps a close eye on Lan Langxing’s emotions.
If his eyes turn red, he’s angry, so run far away.
If they turn blue, he’s sad, so comfort him and show you care.
If they turn purple, he’s happy, so add to the celebration and share in his good mood.
Lan Jing acts cute and obedient, taking care not to put a foot wrong. He can see that Lan Langxing no longer looks at him with the same icy disdain as before.
But one day, why do Lan Langxing’s eyes suddenly turn yellow?
-
From the gong’s perspective-
Lan Jing is always looking right at him. His clear, beautiful eyes are like black onyx, their brilliance hidden beneath the night sky.
Amused, he asks maliciously, “What are you looking at?”
Lan Jing jumps and lowers his head. “Y-your eyes are beautiful.”
Later, Lan Langxing pins him against the floor-to-ceiling window, grips his chin, and makes him look into his eyes again and again.
“Baby, your eyes look beautiful when you cry, too.”
