Spring's Surrender is a contemporary, everybody-loves-the-protagonist scum romance, packed with no-holds-barred elements like coercion, humiliation, training, and sharing a wife.
The protagonist, Jiang Ningzhi, is strikingly beautiful, cool and chaste. He attracts a group of devoted, unhinged men, but never gives them the time of day.
After torturing him in body and heart through a tragic love story, the frustrated male leads decide to join forces and turn this unyielding, untouchable beauty into a caged bird, trapped in lust.
As luck would have it, after transmigrating into a book, Zhou Sirui ends up sharing one body with the high-school-age protagonist.
When Jiang Ningzhi inexplicably gains a "roommate," he takes it in stride, expressionless.
"Who are you?"
[I won't tell you.]
To his utter surprise, the future untouchable heir to the Jiang family is currently an illegitimate child anyone can bully.
The aristocratic academy has a strict hierarchy. To escape the fate of being at everyone's mercy, Zhou Sirui finds Jiang Ningzhi a powerful backer: a man in a coma in the hospital, the original novel's fourth male lead, who happens to be named "Zhou Sirui" too.
[If someone gives you trouble, just use Zhou Sirui's name. Ever heard of throwing your weight around?]
"You're pretending to be Zhou Sirui's boyfriend. What if he wakes up and exposes you?"
[He won't, because Zhou Sirui is my... boyfriend!]
At first, Zhou Sirui thought things would be peaceful once Jiang Ningzhi had a powerful backer.
Who could have guessed that every night, he'd be forced to share dreams with the original novel's unhinged male leads?
And the craziest part was that he had to play a romance conquest game on Jiang Ningzhi's behalf.
Dating on someone else's behalf? Now that's a novel idea.
In his dreams, Zhou Sirui gave quick reviews of the six conquest routes.
A. Real and fake heirs route: Jiang Yanbai (taboo age-gap romance, bitter enemies who kill each other)
[An enemy is an enemy, and a big brother is a wife!]
B. Top-tier star idol route: Lu Jinyu (limited-time boy-band love-triangle experience)
[Is this celebrity's name the same as mine? I think I saw him before I died. Did he transmigrate into a book too?]
C. Supernatural devotee route: Xie Lin (the beloved of a supernatural death game)
[This is infuriating! If this stupid book hadn't shoved me into a patchwork character named "Xie Lin," I never would have opened it.]
[Who gets that eerie sense of redemption when a killer from a supernatural story turns into a lovesick puppy? Damn it, I want a refund! Give me back my beloved!]
D. Wake the sleeping beauty: Zhou Sirui (the one and only rose on planet B612)
[This seems like me. It is me! It's such a weird feeling, seeing myself in a coma!]
[Huh? Jiang Ningzhi, why are you in my body?]
E. Bloody killer route: Qiu Lecai (hidden)
[Don't kill me, boss! Here's your knife. Please spare me!]
F. Otherworldly conquest route: Shen Quexue (hidden)
[You like me? I'm straight. Why would you like me?]
Zhou Sirui: ...All of you need to drink some herbal medicine and get yourselves sorted out!
After being reborn, Jiang Ningzhi returns to his high-school years.
Before they died together, those people had still been yelling at him to give Zhou Sirui back.
But who was Zhou Sirui?
He didn't know him!
In both lifetimes, Jiang Ningzhi has been cold-hearted and aloof. He never understood those people, and he had no idea what it felt like to live on love, wild and mad with desire.
That is, until the day he finally met the legendary Zhou Sirui.
He calmly watched Zhou Sirui navigate his way among the various men... like a lamb unaware of danger, just waiting to be devoured alive...
At first, Jiang Ningzhi thought nonchalantly: He's nothing special!
But later, desire burned in his throat like red-hot coals. Like a starving ghost, he became addicted to every joy and pain Zhou Sirui felt.
In a living room soaked in scarlet, Jiang Ningzhi's kiss fell on trembling skin, cold as snow.
He held a bloodstained knife and gazed casually at Zhou Sirui curled beneath him, tapping his knuckles at a leisurely pace as he smiled.
"Did your beloved Xie Lin... come here too?"
Yandere M seme vs. laid-back straight man, Jiang Ningzhi x Zhou Sirui
Transmigration into a book + rebirth. Probably multiple fragments of one person. Only the seme is devoted, with no romantic tension between the male leads.
P.S. You can check Weibo for the general premise. I feel like this blurb is really weird. Note from 2025.5.28.
