Chapter 1 - Transmigrated into A Novel

“Ge, come on, just keep reading! I swear it will be really good!”

“No way! You literally killed me off in the first chapter. The fact I didn’t smack you for that is already generous. And now you want me to keep reading? Forget it!”

Xu Ru'an rolled his eyes at his sister, who was clinging to him like a koala and pleading for dear life. She really was impossible to deal with.

His sister, Xu Rumeng, was a relatively well-known online author. She had just finished writing a new novel—which she swore was her best work yet—and was desperate for him to read it and give her feedback.

The problem was… the moment he finished chapter one, he realized one of the characters had the exact same name as him. But worse—it wasn’t even a cool character. It was a random side character, a three-year-old toddler abandoned by the roadside.

And that wasn’t the end of it. That character’s entire existence was just to make the female lead look good by comparison.

Even worse? The poor kid died at the hands of one of the main villains before the first episode even ended!

“Fine, fine! I’ll finish it, okay?! Just stop shaking me like that. If you keep it up, I’m seriously gonna puke!”

Left with no other choice but to surrender, Xu Ru'an sat down to finish reading the entire book.

It took him almost a full day, but finally, he reached the end. He let out a long sigh… and then couldn’t help himself—he started ranting.

“Seriously? That entire villain family couldn't beat one newly-risen male lead? Come on, how fake is that? Male lead plot armor strikes again. And the villains’ endings? That was brutal! Way over the top!”

Only after he finished ranting did he notice his sister had fallen asleep on the couch.

He rubbed his temples and sighed. She was his sister, after all—what else could he do but spoil her?

After gently covering her with a blanket, Xu Ru'an turned to head back to his room for some rest. But just as he took a step—everything went black, and he lost consciousness.

---

“Little guy, wake up… Are you okay?”

Through the fog in his mind, Xu Ru'an could vaguely hear a woman’s voice near his ear.

He struggled to open his eyes and saw a soft, gentle face staring at him with worry.

His entire body ached, and he felt completely drained. He forced himself to ignore the discomfort and glanced around.

Where the hell was he? Wasn’t he supposed to be at home?

“Where… is this? Why am I here?”

But what shocked him most was his voice—it sounded young. Way too young. It was soft, childish, completely different from his usual tone.

The woman’s eyes widened with concern. “Little one, how are you feeling? You’re in a small alley off West Street. I usually come here to feed stray cats, and today I found you lying there, all covered in bruises.”

Covered in bruises? No wonder he felt like he got hit by a truck. But how had he ended up like that? And what exactly was West Street?

“Do you remember anything, sweetie? Do you know your parents’ contact information? I can call them to come get you.”

Xu Ru'an's heart clenched. His parents had died in a car accident when he was sixteen. Since then, it had just been him and his sister.

“My parents… they’re gone. I only have—”

He hadn’t even finished the sentence when the woman suddenly burst into tears.

“Oh no… so you’re an orphan? No wonder... poor baby…”

Wait, what?! How did she get that from what he said? At least let him finish!

“I’m Su Lengyan, a teacher from Angel Kindergarten. Don’t worry, I’ll take you to the hospital now. Once you’re better, I’ll bring you to the orphanage.”

Angel Kindergarten? Su Lengyan? Orphanage?

Wait a second… why do all these names sound so familiar?

Xu Ru'an suddenly felt that something was off—he just couldn’t quite put his finger on it yet.

“Little one, what’s your name?” the woman asked gently.

“Huh? Oh… I’m Xu Ru'an.”

Su Lengyan carefully lifted him into her arms and gently patted his head as she walked, murmuring softly that she was taking him to the hospital.

And that’s when Xu Ru'an finally realized what was wrong.

He—an able-bodied 23-year-old man—had just been picked up by a slender woman like he weighed nothing.

His body had shrunk!

No… to be precise, he’d become a child. A little boy!

What the hell was going on? Why was he suddenly a kid? Was this some kind of dream?

As Xu Ru'an stared around in disbelief, still trying to process everything, Su Lengyan accidentally bumped into a tall man. She staggered a bit from the collision.

“Lengyan? What a coincidence running into you here. I guess fate really brings people together.”

“Xu Zherui? What are you doing here?” she asked, clearly surprised.

Xu Zherui?! The name made Xu Ru'an’s heart skip a beat. No way—it couldn’t be that coincidental...

And then it all clicked.

Su Lengyan—that was the name of the female lead in his sister’s novel. And Xu Zherui—wasn’t he the infamous sixth young master of the villainous Xu family? The notorious leader of a powerful hacker syndicate?

And everything happening now… didn’t this match exactly with the opening chapter of the novel?

Damn it. He—Xu Ru'an—had transmigrated into the book?!

And worse yet, he’d become that cannon-fodder toddler with the same name as him. If memory served right, this character didn’t last long before being tragically killed off.

And the one who killed him?

Standing right in front of him—the villainous Sixth Master of the Xu family, Xu Zherui.

[Oh God! Just my luck!]

[Xu Zherui, you lovestruck maniac! You’d really kill a helpless three-year-old just because you’re obsessed with the female lead?!]

[Unbelievable! Am I really going to die like this?!]

The moment Xu Ru'an remembered his in-story fate, his heart sank. According to the plot, he wouldn’t make it out of this scene alive.

He wanted to run—desperately—but his entire body was covered in injuries. He had no strength at all. Not to mention, with his current tiny arms and stubby little legs, where could he possibly escape to?

Xu Zherui, meanwhile, was actually thrilled to see the woman he liked so suddenly. But his joy was short-lived, interrupted by a strange voice muttering something that totally killed the mood.

He glanced around. There was no one else here except himself and Su Lengyan… oh, and the little boy in her arms.

That voice—could it have come from the kid?

But… the boy hadn’t opened his mouth. Was he just hearing things?

“Lengyan, is this your little brother?” he asked coldly, eyes narrowing as he stared at the boy.

Hmph. Even he had never been hugged by Lengyan before, and now this brat was clinging to her like it was nothing. Why should he tolerate that?

It didn’t even occur to him that this was a perfectly normal situation. The child was injured, obviously—it made sense for her to carry him.

But the way Xu Zherui was glaring at him made Xu Ru'an's stomach twist into knots.

[Crap! I’m doomed. He’s totally got his eye on me now. Just my luck to run into a jealous villain drunk on love!]

[He’s actually jealous just because she’s carrying me. I knew it—he’s 100% going to kill me for this!]

[Villain logic at its finest. Brutal, ruthless, and completely unreasonable. There’s no way I’m getting out of this alive.]

At this point, Xu Ru'an could only pray that once Xu Zherui inevitably killed him, he’d at least be able to return to his original world. He had no idea what had happened to his real body, or how his sister was doing now...
