Synopsis
Lu Bai, a reader who once enjoyed watching villains suffer in fiction, finds himself cast in that very role through a system's intervention. He is tasked with navigating various worlds to capture specific targets, though the stakes shift when his secret identity is inevitably exposed. The writing prioritizes emotional beats and immediate satisfaction over rigid internal logic, creating a light, fast-moving experience. It escalates from the tension of a hidden mission to the intimacy of being discovered by the very people he intended to manipulate. This work rewards those seeking quick, romantic payoffs and a breezy approach to soul-switching scenarios, while it may frustrate anyone demanding a complex, logically airtight plot or deep world-building. The tone remains cheerful despite the protagonist's initial struggle with his newfound position, focusing heavily on the chemistry between the leads.

Editorial Review
With only twenty-seven chapters, this completed BL series is a brief excursion into the fast-travel genre. The primary strength lies in its efficiency; it does not overstay its welcome and delivers its romantic conclusion swiftly. The dynamic between Lu Bai and his targets provides a satisfying sense of irony given his previous preferences as a reader. However, the shortness is also a significant weakness. The brevity prevents any real depth in character development or environmental detail, making the various worlds feel more like stage sets than lived-in spaces. Given the extremely low visibility and the author's admission that logic is secondary to emotion, it functions more as a light snack than a substantial meal. It is a competent, if slight, piece of fiction that succeeds in its narrow goal of delivering a sweet, completed romance without unnecessary filler.
