……

“Dead, dead, did I really die from overwork?!”

A loud male voice suddenly erupted in the dim and silent room.

A boy with a non-mainstream, eye-covering hairstyle looked at the dim surroundings with horror.

He reached out and brushed aside his overly long bangs, his dark, slightly upturned phoenix eyes widened into round circles as if he had seen a ghost, his pupils suddenly contracting.

“Did I really die from overwork in the Game Pod?”

He murmured, in disbelief.

The memories churning in his mind clearly told him that he was dead and had been reborn as a cannon fodder character with the same name.

He had been playing the most popular transmigration game in the Starry Sky era for a week straight, sustained only by Nutrient Solution, and had finally reached the last level, where the male and female leads were about to enter the hall of marriage!

Damn it, he actually died from overwork!

As a profligate young master who loved watching melodramatic love dramas in his spare time, he was truly unwilling to die before seeing the male and female leads get married and have children! That hatred!

With a loud “bang,” the door was kicked open violently, followed by a sharp female voice, “What are you yelling about so early in the morning, you psycho!”

Zhou Zhou took a deep breath and reached out to brush all of his non-mainstream bangs behind his head.

He stood up, ran barefoot towards the bathroom, and turned on the light.

Looking at the unfamiliar boy in the mirror, the last trace of hope in his heart completely disappeared.

“So, the cannon fodder Zhou Zhou actually looks like this, gloomy?”

He leaned closer to the mirror, squinting his eyes to examine himself carefully.

His face was pale and lifeless, not much different from a corpse.

Apart from his complexion, his features were quite handsome.

Thick, sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, and a pair of dark phoenix eyes were slightly upturned, perhaps because he had just woken up, with a hint of red at the corners.

He had a straight nose and thin lips, but his lip color was as white as a ghost.

He took a few steps back, lowered his head to look at his slender body, about 180cm tall, which he could barely accept.

In his previous life, Zhou Zhou was a Starry Sky New Human, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, healthy and free from disease. His greatest hobby was traversing through various popular games.

The original owner of this body was an insignificant, mini cannon fodder in his latest transmigration game.

The transmigration game contained thousands upon thousands of novels, and the novel the original owner was in was called “Yearning in the Sea of Desire: My Delicate, Sweet Wife, You Can’t Escape My Palm!”

Seventy percent of the plot consisted of the male and female leads engaging in indescribable acts, the male lead’s desires being too exuberant, and the female lead arousing his bestial nature with a simple flirt.

Because the plot was too stimulating, Zhou Zhou became addicted to it as soon as he entered the game.

At the beginning of the game, the female lead encountered a major traffic accident, but due to her powerful protagonist halo, she was unscathed.

In the news report, the original owner was one of the dead, fortunate enough to appear on the death list, which Zhou Zhou saw.

Because they shared the same name, he remembered it clearly, and was even mocked by his old classmates.

“I’m dead at the start? I actually became such a short-lived cannon fodder?”

“Since I’m not dead yet, there must be room for maneuver!”

He muttered to himself, quickly walked out of the bathroom, and glanced at the calendar on the desk.

August 31, 2025. This was the day before the female lead’s school started, and also the time of the major traffic accident.

Damn it, is it today?!

Was he going to return to the west on his first day here?!

“Dong dong dong,” the door was knocked open vigorously.

“If you don’t get up, I won’t wait for you!”

The sharp female voice sounded again. Zhou Zhou searched his memory and knew that the girl outside the door was the original owner’s half-sister, Zhou Nian.

Tomorrow was the opening day of Beicheng University, and all the freshmen needed to return to the school early today to register and move their luggage into the dormitories.

Zhou Zhou was 19 years old this year, and also a freshman at Beicheng University. Today, he needed to take the death car specially prepared for him by his stepmother to report to the school.

Before he even got to school, he would die on the way.

The overturned tanker directly crushed the car the original owner was in into a pancake, and because the death was too tragic, it was heavily reported on the news.

Zhou Zhou swallowed, his whole body shivered, and he opened the door, peering through the gaps in his bangs at the beautiful girl outside the door. He clutched his stomach and cried out in pain, “You go first, I… I have diarrhea.”

Zhou Nian frowned, covered her nose, and took a few steps back, saying with a look of disgust, “It stinks so bad, did you shit your pants?”

“Um… can you help me check?” Zhou Zhou said, and walked towards her.

Zhou Nian looked horrified and ran downstairs as if fleeing, not forgetting to leave a sentence, “You’re really a disgusting stink bug!”

Zhou Zhou clicked his tongue lightly and turned back to close the door forcefully.

The original owner’s situation at home was very awkward. He was reclusive and cowardly, and also a hidden homosexual.

He couldn’t help but shudder. As a homophobic person, he really couldn’t accept the fact that the original owner was gay.

Fortunately, the original owner only dared to secretly crush on others and didn’t dare to voice it.

Since he was reborn as the cannon fodder Zhou Zhou, the top priority was to escape death. As long as he didn’t go out today, he should be able to avoid it, right?

He wasn’t sure.

After all, if fate wanted him to die, he couldn’t resist. He’d rather wait and see and hide at home today.

With a “swoosh,” the curtains were pulled open, and pale golden sunlight instantly poured in.

As a Starry Sky New Human, he had never seen such a landscape. He quickly walked to the balcony and looked around, leaning on the railing.

He was currently on the second floor, and what he saw was a cluster of villas crowded together.

The Zhou family, as wealthy merchants in Yucheng, ranked in the middle of the wealth list, not too high and not too low. It was completely no problem to live a life of ease.

The head of the Zhou family, Zhou Hongwei, who was also the original owner’s father, had two sons with his deceased first wife.

The eldest son, Zhou Jin, was 25 years old, steady and cunning, and currently out of Zhou Hongwei’s control, having opened a game planning company.

The younger son, Zhou Zhou, was 19 years old, taciturn, and had a pitifully small presence in the Zhou family, not valued.

Because of his cowardly personality, he was bullied by his stepmother and sister.

Zhou Hongwei knew this well, but turned a blind eye, directly ignoring him.

After all, his stepmother’s family background was strong, and Zhou Hongwei had to rely on her to expand his network and squeeze into the upper class.

Zhou Zhou once again brushed aside his annoying bangs and complained, “After successfully transcending tribulation, I’ll cut off this non-mainstream hairstyle!”

He turned around, his eyes falling on the room.

A pure white wardrobe, pasted with frightening Vampire Posters.

Deep gray bedding, embroidered with dark red, strange patterns.

On the clean white walls hung dark, magical portraits.

He felt that even the sunlight couldn’t erase the gloom of the room.

“Making it so gloomy, it really affects life expectancy!”

He strode into the room and turned on the TV, waiting for the news report.

It was already eight o’clock, and there was still half an hour before the time of the major traffic accident.

The innocent white flower female lead Su Wanxing had probably already boarded the bus, heading in the direction of Beicheng University.

In the transmigration game, the character Zhou Zhou played was the female lead’s best friend, whose main task was to advise the female lead and successfully attract the male lead’s attention.

Through layers of checkpoints, help the female lead capture the male lead’s heart, and finally enter the hall of marriage and live a happy life raising kids.

Zhou Zhou was a lover of melodramatic love dramas, and he was very depressed that he couldn’t see the male and female leads reach the end!

He was determined that after escaping death, he would go and fulfill his wish!

Help the tenacious white flower female lead harvest true love, until he personally saw the happy ending.
