Feng Lin was fed up. He'd ended up in some ridiculous world of romantic rivalries.
Everyone loved the beloved protagonist, and everyone had to love the beloved protagonist.
Feng Lin didn't. So he discovered he'd been split into copies.
Every day, all sorts of messy copies of himself showed up with knives, trying to kill him and take his place. They were seriously disrupting his daily life.
Feng Lin was sick of it. Feng Lin decided to fight back.
He killed one of his copies.
Then he killed another.
And while he was at it, he killed one of his copy's neighbors.
Until one day, he went to stab his neighbor and couldn't get through.
His neighbor silently lit a cigarette. "Stop trying to kill me. I'm the original."
Theme: I am myself, irreplaceable.
