Bai Shi was an orphan. After being adopted, he continued to live in District Seven, the lowest-status district.
His adoptive parents didn't like him. They'd adopted him only to collect the Empire's child-rearing allowance. Before long, they fled to another region to escape their debts. He thought he'd have to return to the orphanage, but then Grandma appeared and adopted him.
Though they lived frugally, he was happy during that time.
He even got into the Empire's best school. It seemed like everything was going well.

Until one day, Bai Shi's memories awakened.
It turned out he'd been living inside an old-fashioned, angst-ridden dog-blood novel all along.
In the book, he was the lowly protagonist who was pursued by men.
The cannon-fodder top used him as a bargaining chip to curry favor with the powerful, handing him over to Scum Top No. 1. Scum Top No. 1 imprisoned him at his side as a substitute for his white moonlight, tormenting him day and night. Scum Top No. 2 treated him like a plaything and abused him at will. Scum Top No. 3 hypnotized him and made him a test subject for a new drug, deceiving both his body and his heart. Scum Top No. 4 exploited him, forcing him to circulate among the powerful.
He was abused in body and soul, humiliated in every way, and finally forced out of the story by a crazed admirer of one of the scum tops.
Even more ridiculous, after he died, every person who had once trampled on him suddenly went mad!
They cried and shouted that, without realizing when it had happened, they'd already come to love him to the depths of their souls?
Bai Shi sneered. His alluring eyes narrowed dangerously as his fingertips brushed the bloodstain at the corner of his lips.
"Love me? What a joke."
