Chu Xin transmigrates into the high-martial-arts power fantasy I Am the Emperor, a novel all about lunatics, thrills, domineering behavior, and demolishing buildings left and right.
The problem is, he has never read it. He only knows the title.
He lives in constant fear, worried he might lose his life at any moment. His house, however, is even less fortunate: villains keep forcing it to be demolished, leaving Chu Xin in dire straits.
Luckily, he isn't alone.
Chu Xin and his childhood sweetheart, now his husband, depend on each other to get by.
Not long after they marry, Chu Xin realizes his husband has stopped coming home.
After binge-watching short videos, Chu Xin's eyes brim with tears. If your husband doesn't come home, he's probably fallen for someone else.
Heartbroken, he finally tracks his husband down, ready to ask for a divorce.
His husband's embrace is so tight that Chu Xin can barely breathe.
Honey, when did you start working out so hard at the gym?
Wait, why are you covered in injuries?!
It turns out his husband has been earning money for their family by fighting in illegal boxing matches.
He stayed away because he didn't want Chu Xin to worry.
Chu Xin's heart aches for him, so he decides to work more overtime and help his husband cut back on the fights.
Then Chu Xin gets a notification that his husband has died. His body is missing.
Chu Xin is a widower.
At the same time, the authorities release images of extremely dangerous lunatics.
The notice warns that these people are bloodthirsty madmen, and one man is the maddest of them all.
They give him the codename "Mad Dog."
It's the original novel's male lead.
Danger level: SSS.
But all Chu Xin sees is his husband!
When Chu Xin finds his husband, the man is fighting like a madman.
Blood sprays everywhere, and the scene is a blur of censorship mosaics.
The good news: his husband is alive!
The bad news: he has amnesia, and all he can think about is fighting.
To tell this madman apart from the husband he knew before, Chu Xin calls him Xiao Bai.
The first thing his husband does after regaining his memories is get jealous of himself.
Who is Xiao Bai?! Is he the guy you married after me?!
Qiu Baisheng was born into poverty, and Chu Xin is the only thing he holds dear.
For Chu Xin's sake, he wants to earn more money.
While fighting in illegal boxing matches, he realized something was wrong: the organizers seemed to be pitting the fighters against each other like poisonous insects in a jar.
After becoming the champion, he thought he had made enough money to take Chu Xin and run away together.
He miscalculated. Before losing consciousness, he wondered whether Chu Xin would remarry.
Then the thought made him angry enough to wake up.
If Chu Xin remarries, then even if Qiu Baisheng turns into a heap of bloody flesh, he'll crawl back and take him back!
