[A deranged, domineering male lead driven mad by the author's torment x the ultimate BOSS with three thousand secret identities, who is also a transmigrated author]
*
Xin Bei is an inexperienced web novelist, but he always gets pretentious and loves adding clever little twists that lure readers in just to kill them. His reviews are full of complaints.
After a long string of failures, Xin Bei finally learned his lesson. This time, he stuck to the standard feel-good tropes: a broken engagement followed by face-slapping, a good-for-nothing making a comeback, playing the pig to eat the tiger, and so on. His reviews began to improve.
The comments section was flourishing: "Future platinum author! Update faster, I can't sleep at night."
Then, near the end, the comments section exploded.
[Run! Everyone around Xiao Yuan is a split-off of that ultimate BOSS's secret identities!! We've all been fooled!!!]
*
Rival, enemy, nemesis, mortal foe;
drinking buddy, friend, old friend, best friend;
secret love, first love, the one he was fated to lose, the one separated from him by death...
They're all the same person.
How could anyone keep it together?
As Heaven's Reversal was about to end, an old man with flowing white hair and beard appeared before the protagonist and the readers, haloed in radiant light and surrounded by his many secret identities.
The protagonist broke down, and so did all the readers.

Xin Bei transmigrated into the story before it had even begun.
For millions of years, no one had known that the most exalted and noble Immortal Venerable Tongbei, who lived as long as the heavens, was really named Xin Bei.
Only by bringing the story to its end with his own hands could Xin Bei return to his world.
Home! Home!
No matter the cost, all Xin Bei wanted was to go home.
Let the male lead suffer. I'll bear the blame!

"You lost."
Xiao Yuan stared at the Immortal Venerable Tongbei before him with bloodshot eyes and hatred in his gaze. The man had countless split selves and had toyed with him over and over. Xiao Yuan could no longer tell who the person before him really was.
Everyone thought Xiao Yuan would kill the mastermind, including Xin Bei himself.
Xin Bei accepted his fate without a fuss and closed his eyes. "I lost. Go ahead and kill me."
But...
"Hmph. Kill you?" Xiao Yuan lowered his sword. "Keep dreaming."
The scene changed in an instant. The bed curtains were warm and inviting, and a seductive fragrance filled the air.
Xiao Yuan began taking off his clothes, soon stripping completely naked.
Xin Bei: ?
Xiao Yuan drove him step by step toward the bed, his expression twisted, restrained, almost crazed. "...So you were the junior sister? The senior brother? The master? The old friend? The nemesis? The old man?"
He even went after the old man?!
Xin Bei was horrified. The male lead he'd written had finally gone mad!
Xiao Yuan forcefully pinned the struggling Xin Bei down, squeezed his fair thigh, and pressed closer inch by inch. As he ruthlessly thrust into him, he sneered, "Don't you like changing? Then change! Change for me!!!"

The secret identities are all male.
Both are virgins.
