Gu Yang discovers that the world he lives in is actually a novel.
A ten-million-word monstrosity stuffed to the brim with every minor and major character’s life story imaginable—an outrageously bloated masterpiece titled “The Overbearing Young Master’s Long Road to Chasing His Wife.”
And he? He’s the cannon fodder who constantly goes against the main gong, only to end up utterly miserable, with his family destroyed.
After briefly mourning the pile of bizarre relatives in his family—so many they could be counted by group units—Gu Yang peacefully accepts his fate and moves on… to eating other people’s melons.
Overnight, Gu Yang’s classmates suddenly start hearing his inner thoughts.
At first, they think it’s just a hallucination. Until—
“Ha. Shen Mingjun with that deadpan face, acting all noble at school—turns out he’s just the illegitimate son of a home-wrecking mistress who forced the original wife to death. Impressive.”
The entire class, previously dozing off, jolts awake.
#Now this is something we’re wide awake for.
A certain model student who had been anonymously spreading rumors about Gu Yang in the class group suddenly turns pale under everyone’s scrutinizing stares.
“The campus goddess Xia Chun is actually a guy cross-dressing? And I heard his size beats most men. This is gold. Who even shares stuff like this? Maybe I should ask him out sometime and check things out in the restroom.”
A poor sucker who had just managed to cozy up to the “goddess” turns deathly pale mid-blossoming crush.
“The Lu family’s newly brought-back younger twin, the one who was supposedly sick and raised elsewhere? Turns out he’s the real young master who was switched at birth. The Lu family just couldn’t bear to part with the fake son they raised, so they fabricated the ‘twin’ story?”
“Hahaha, and those two actually end up together in the end—the victim and the beneficiary. Incredible. I’m skipping class to go watch the drama. Maybe I’ll even catch a coming-out scene live.”
Classmates: Wait—if you leave, what are we supposed to use for gossip?!
From then on, life at the elite academy becomes a double-edged feast of scandal. They crave explosive gossip—yet fear becoming the subject of it themselves.
And they also have to endure Gu Yang’s jaw-dropping mental state and his occasional, beautiful realization that maybe he should just say goodbye to this world entirely.
One day, the gossip leads to a classmate attempting to jump off a building.
Inner thought: Maybe I should jump with him. It’d make for quite the spectacle.
The sheltered classmates laugh nervously. Haha. He’s joking, right?
Then someone realizes Gu Yang is… already on the rooftop.
A few seconds of silence.
Chairs screech violently across the classroom floor.
“Quick—stop him!!!”
Song Yinxing is the shou protagonist of “The Overbearing Young Master’s Long Road to Chasing His Wife.”
A gambling father. A sick mother. A younger brother still in school. And a shattered version of himself. That sums up his background perfectly.
With such a catastrophic starting point, he thought his life at an elite high school would be unbearably difficult.
But unexpectedly, someone reached out to him in the midst of hardship.
He thought he was simply lucky—until one day, unfamiliar and horrifying memories begin surfacing quietly in his dreams.
