Summary: Chapter 1

Key Plot Points

3. Reveal of transmigration: Qi Si realizes he has died in his original world (from a terminal illness) and has been reborn into the world of an angsty novel—he is "cannon fodder" destined to die.
4. Understanding the plot: The novel's first 20 chapters are a sweet campus romance, but after a supporting female character (Lin Weiwei) appears, the original owner became her simp, targeted the female lead, and provoked the male lead's retaliation, leading to his family's downfall.
5. Hospitalization: Qi Si wakes in the hospital with his older brother Qi Wang at his bedside.
