There was nothing wrong with Lu Shiyi learning the truth, really. Yu Qingchuan had already been planning to find a chance to tell him.
He just didn't know whether Lu Shiyi could accept it.
He probably could, right? My Brother Yi is such a perfect man.
He asked tentatively, "Brother Yi, have you ever heard of transmigration?"
Lu Shiyi froze for a moment, then understanding dawned on him. He held Yu Qingchuan's hand. "You transmigrated here?"
Yu Qingchuan was already used to how clever Lu Shiyi was. He nodded. "To be precise, it was transmigration into a book. This world is actually a book. I was an illustrator before, too. When I was drawing character designs for an author, I somehow ended up here."
Lu Shiyi slowly absorbed this information. It seemed unbelievable, yet also perfectly reasonable. But the world he lived in was actually fictional?
That rather overturned Lu Shiyi's understanding of reality.
Still, Buddhism spoke of "a world in a flower, enlightenment in a leaf." They couldn't understand such mysteries, nor could they change them, so there was no need to torment themselves over it.
All Lu Shiyi knew was that he now had a husband and a career, and he was happy every day. That was enough.
There was just one thing Lu Shiyi still wasn't certain about. "Then will that author decide our fates?"
He could accept being a character in a book, but he couldn't stand the idea of someone else controlling his destiny.
"No, no." Yu Qingchuan hurried to explain. "Actually, both our fates have already changed."
He hesitated, then told Lu Shiyi everything. "No, Brother Yi, both our fates have actually changed. According to the original plot, I would fall for Shiming-oh, I forgot to mention, Shiming is this book's Male Protagonist Gong.
