[Through the book] The male supporting role fell in love with the villain

Synopsis

A deep obsession with a fictional antagonist leads to an unexpected reality when a man wakes up inside the pages of a novel. Now occupying the body of a secondary character who shares his name, Chi Jinyou finds himself in a position where he is expected to pine for the story's heroine. Instead, he pivots his affections toward the powerful villain who was originally destined for defeat. By feigning memory loss, he creates a strategic opening to court the formidable man he has always loved. The writing maintains a focused, intimate atmosphere, escalating from a surprising premise into a concentrated romantic pursuit. It avoids heavy tragedy, opting instead for a playful tension between a stubborn, soft-hearted pursuer and a dominant partner. Those seeking a concise, completed romance centered on shifting destinies and character-driven chemistry will find this satisfying, while those craving complex world-building or high-stakes political intrigue may find the narrow scope limiting.
