Yan Shuang is an old veteran of the Transmigration Bureau. Once he finishes one last book, he’ll be able to make a lump-sum withdrawal of the pension he’s accumulated across various books and live a happily retired life.
There’s good news once he enters the book — He’s the protagonist.
Bad news? — He’s the protagonist of an angsty, dog blood novel.
Before him lay five highly toxic relationship plotlines with the same shou but different gongs.
Scum Gong 1: Master-servant contract with physical and mental abuse aplenty
Scum Gong 2: Carving out one of your kidneys for the white moonlight
Scum Gong 3: Brainwashing/reconditioning shame play
Scum Gong 4: You’re nice but unfortunately not clean enough
Scum Gong 5: Save him and I can marry you
Yan Shuang: He’s eager to retire already, hurry up ba

Translator’s note concerning a bit of controversy surrounding this novel
The ending wasn’t what a lot of readers expected so they sent the author so much hate mail that she quit Weibo, a Chinese social media platform. I believe this was a misunderstanding due to the tags used. I will leave a spoiler below and you can choose whether to read it or not.
Also, just to let anyone who reads ahead know: the ending has been revised and you miss a lot of content unless you read from the official raws on JJWXC (link above)
Spoiler from the author’s summary that may hamper your enjoyment
Are you sure you want to know?
There is no CP, the MC chooses none of them in the end.
Did the author do anything wrong? Not really. There is a section for ‘no CP’ novels on the Chinese website, but that means no romance whatsoever. BL novels are allowed to end without a CP, despite it being unusual and (depending on the person) unfulfilling.
However, she did rush the ending back in Dec 2021. I read it and it was all over the place. The author has since gone back and fleshed out the ending, as well as giving us some closure through the extras.
saw the ‘angsty, dog blood novel’ and was about to back out, then i saw the ‘comedy’ tag, 😳 oh oh okay silently sets up camp ⛺⛺
i’m trusting u, translator-sama!
Joining you in your trust in the translator, gimme the comedy! 😀
I’m just gonna- ⛺🧍🏻♀️
I’m so excited for this, oh can I ask is this romance or it’s just the MC?
The author has put a spoiler in the summary that addresses your question, but it might spoil the book for you. It’s up to you if you want to read the spoiler or not.
+1! Camping, I’m also trusting you translator!
While I wouldn’t say there’s no angst, the novel…doesn’t take itself too seriously?? From what I read so far it’s pretty funny, but I have a weird sense of humour so please don’t trust me haha.
aiyo we rode ekigp, thats me and you who got weird humor here
+1
+2
i’m here after finishing the novel
bro this is fucking hilarious
rain is right, don’t take this shit hilariously it’s peak comedy ahahha
Noice camping
Has both angst and comedy, definitely my type
Is the final ending a HE?
It depends on what you consider a happy ending. I’m only on chapter 19 myself so I can’t say, but the author apparently rushed the ending?? Don’t worry, she promised to revisit and fix it in the new year.
The ending isn’t actually bad?(the information it says on the spoiler tag). I mean, this is also an option. Not all bl, gl or etero novels must have a ************. This happens in real life all the time. It makes the novel realistic. I feel sorry for the author 😔
I completely agree with you.
what happened exactyl?? im scared that readers brought down their wrath on a wronged author doing her best 😰😰
I would like to too, but I don’t know Chinese 😔 The only clue is what the translator said and if the author changes the ending, then we will never know 😣
+1!
Yeah
Camping⛺~~
Wow i totally like the ending though i hope the author doesnt change it
Camping 😋
At least this author is better than me… I always give tragic ending with the death of the most popular character in my stories… Well… CAMPING!!⛺⛺🏕️
i don’t dare to say i’m camping, especially after i saw the spoiler. i think it’s okay for the author to decide the ending like that, and i think maybe it’s logical and rational and refreshing? but i’m afraid i’ll be disappointed, whether it’s the OG Ending or the new one.
still, i’ll definitely check this novel and read it sometimes because i trust the translator! (i love EKIGP and still catching up on PISDD)
Ah no wonder, well it’s fine, it’s the MC’s choice as long as the plot is good then I’m up for it.. also DOGBLOOD!!!! THAT’S MY BABY SO I’M DEFINITELY CAMPING ON THIS ONE AH! 🏕️🏕️🏕️
Jiayou Jiayou Translator-san for your new project!~ 💕
I was about to bookmark it, then I read the summary, and it kinda sounds like harem.. I’m not fond of harems, so I’m not so sure now..
But I think the MC is interesting if he leaves them all, instead of choosing to stay with a toxic ML.. This type of strong people are totally my type.. Who knows, I might come back to read it later..
Well, in the original ending, the MC didn’t end up with anyone. It was mentioned in the spoilers in the summary.
Yes.. It’ll make the story feel different .. That’s why I might read it later..
Sounds weird. I like it.
Camp 🏕
Happy campers gather round the fire!
Here comes SilverRain with an interesting story!!
(:з」∠)
About the spoiler
Bro same. Unless one of them turns out to be especially loveable in the end. MC doesn’t need to put up with that trash just because they like him. I seriously hope the author doesn’t cave in to such disgusting pressure. Not choosing anyone in the end makes this unique and a good selling point to a niche group of readers.
Besides, just because you don’t like the ending of a story doesn’t mean you get to be a dcik about it. Go find something else to read. It’s really not that difficult.
Second that, my thoughts exactly. I’ve yet to find a novel with no CP at the end ( or even manhwa/manhua/manga such as that)
+1 i can be that niche group 😀

🏕️🏕️🏕️🏕️
You had me at not angsty
sets tent
Really makes me angry to read about the author being hounded off the platform, jjwxc readers are so disgusting sometimes. It upsets me that the author was forced to cave in and re-write the ending, especially considering it was already so good (honestly, judging by the gongs’ descriptions I think that the ending the author chose was the only possible HE).Anyway, I’ll be happily camping out here, already getting the feeling that it’ll be one of my best loved transmigration novels haha!
right?? bad ending, neutral ending, it’s all good as long it was fit the plot… not only in jjwxc, even in WP readers often demand plot changes or HE, when it’s totally not possible at all or authors doesn’t want it. i mean, it’s their masterpiece. I’m sad for every authors who has to do this 🙁
Mmm I hope the thing in the spoiler section becomes true fingers crossed, that is 95% of the reason of why I read this kind of novel u.u
camping ∠ ( ᐛ 」∠ ) ＿
angst? step back // but with comedy! ready to jump in oof, but I’ll be waiting after… 30 chapters… can’t wait >.<
wow a controversial novel with so much hate regarding the ending. i always tried respect whatever author write eventhough the plot is so bas i want to 🔨 the author, like ‘HIStory 3’ or ‘Coass Cooperate’ for one of the CP 🙂 after all, it’s their masterpiece. they’re the God of their own novel. my only revenge for my dissatisfaction is just talk about it angrily all the time to everyone 😂
((oops accidentally click post))
i hope i can do that with this novel too! i hope everyone can do the same too! at least not sending hate message and reviewing it with neutral mind in NU! sending online hugs for author, they already tried their best!
Wow, so far the love interests seem horrible. Also, an MC who chooses himself >>>>
Im so excited for this!! Whats the updating schedule?
I prefer the MC not choosing one from these shitty gongs, base on the sypnosis I might kill myself to transmigrate and kill them. Anyway camping 🏕️.
Nooo i shouldn’t have looked at the spoiler
Extremely excited at that spoiler. You mean it? You promise? Then I’ll camp all day! I am the reader that wants that.
Camping 🏕 although a little late
What’s wrong with not abiding by stereotypes? It’s her effort, her words and her book. Don’t read if you don’t want to.
Anger is such a pure feeling, don’t ruin the concept by abusing it.
Am I the only one finding it funny wherein the readers were so angry with the ending that they sent hate mails? 😅
as someone who doesn’t like angsty dog blood novels, i shall sacrifice myself by reading the first chapters and come back to inform you peasants of my thoughts about this story.
Interesting, camping hehe
Good news: She’s taking a break until the new year, but she promised to fix the ending + upload a couple of extras later! She should be done by the time translations catch up.
Omg!!! she’ll fix the ending??? that so sweet of her/him.. i feel bad about the amount of hate she/he had gone through.. like even if the ending is not what they wanted it’s still not right to throw hate smh 😑
still im so happy to knowww that she will change it.. i hope mc ends up to some ml 🥺 (decent)
i read everything (the novel) i just wanna say that the MC is merciless and doesnt hold ANY bit of emotion to the ML(s) of the world.
He JUST WANNA RETIRE. i think the ending makes sense.. if i wanna ship him to a ml it would be qi feiyun and wei yichen. but all in all i was totally fine about him living his own life alone 🥰
yan shuang (mc) is a very professional transmigrator. work is work. so yeah it makes sense he didnt fall for any of them
i pity wei yichen sooo much tho. like i almost criedddddd i feel so bad for him and in the ending qi feiyun…
ok. bye. 😆
andd most of all qin yubai that dicc learned his lesson in the end and even had a heart to heart conversation with wei yichen together with yan shuang..
ji yao sucks and i feel kinda bad for shang shuanming.
Yan Shuang x Food
Yan Shuang x Money
thats the real otp here..
i think i pity all of them. I know qi yubai was the scummiest but omg he lost 2 ppl in the end. ji yao just collapsing. And that last guy who didn’t even know. Yan shuang changing the trajectory of their lives 🤭🤭
Camping 🏕️
Why do they have to send hate mails? That’s so unnecessary and childish. Just because the ending wasn’t to your liking doesn’t mean you can abuse the author to the point of quiting a platform. I hope the author is still well.
i dont know what was going through my mind when i decided to look at the spoiler like why would i do that but when i tell you i gasped soo dramatically, I mean I have never gasped like that before in my life lmao
Is MC the gong? I’m looking for stories where MC is seme but can’t find any so far.
Honestly I prefer the spoiler ending. I hope the author doesn’t change it.
I’m sorry, but I’m wondering if the translator will translate only the modified ending, only the original one, or both? And, one more question, has the author already changed the end or only intends to?
From what i gathered, author didn’t change the main ending. I also don’t think there were such demands. They just added extras about the fate of the gongs.
Camping ⛺⛺
Argghh why did i look at the spoiler. But i still plan to read hehe
Finished reading. For those hesitating bec of the spoiler ending, trust me it makes sense. It wasn’t rushed at all! The author doesn’t hide what kind of person our MC is. The dissatisfaction probably comes from ppl who pitied the gongs, which you will! Bec they’re not as bad as their novel counterparts. Anw if anyone else already finished, pls talk to me about what the last extra means t.t
Would definitely recommend, YS is truly a charming character to me and I am quite attached to him as a reader since I’ve been following this book for a while now since it was being translated, the translation is wonderful and I still can’t believe it is complete. I feel hollow and empty and is currently searching for new ongoing books to latch myself on.🥲
