You Jin hated his damn sexual orientation with all his heart. It had made the past twenty years of his life miserable and painful.
Heaven showed him no mercy. While sorting through his younger sister’s belongings, he found a paper novel he’d never seen before.
Its cover was plain, its protagonist’s life resembled his own, and it bore his sister’s handwriting.
Death was postponed by an entire night.
He should have died in the silent darkness, but somehow he lived long enough to see the faint light of dawn.
When he opened his eyes...
He wasn’t dead. He’d become the protagonist, You Yi, who shared his surname but had a different given name.
The story was clichéd, as was the way he transmigrated into a book, and the System was clichéd too. Everything was as clichéd as could be.
What was his task now?
Accept the male lead’s love in the protagonist’s place? Utterly ridiculous.
You Yi had committed suicide, and You Jin was perfectly willing to carry on his predecessor’s legacy.
·
Ying Fangjin rescued You Yi countless times, though he couldn’t understand why his beloved no longer loved him.
·
Amid the seemingly endless cycle of suicide, rescue, suicide, rescue, a crack appeared in You Jin’s closed-off heart, just like that first glimmer of dawn before he transmigrated.
But Ying Fangjin’s health was failing. He was going to die.
As he drew his last breath, he said, “A life for a life.”
You Jin didn’t understand what he meant, but knew that Heaven truly would show him no mercy.
You Jin didn’t want to live, but now he didn’t even have control over what happened to his body.
I have the body of the person he loves, but I am not the person he loves.
Content warning:
BE! BE! BE!
The top only loves the original protagonist. Pure angst.
