Synopsis
Man wakes up in BL novel as dying character, must seduce male lead to return home.
"Tae Seongjae... He's the one who will take me back home." One day, without warning, I woke up as Seo Seungwon, a character in a BL novel given to me by my younger sister. The aftermath of being transported into this world is brutal—I'm plagued with relentless nosebleeds, bouts of coughing up blood, and unimaginable pain. I discover that staying calm lessens the torment, so I desperately try to empty my mind and maintain my composure. But as my original memories start slipping away day by day, I spiral into despair. Still, I refuse to lose hope. To escape this nightmare and return to reality, I set my sights on the novel's ending. Following the story's flow, I resolve to become Tae Seongjae's lover, face abandonment, and eventually fake my own death—all to achieve my goal of going home. But when I meet Tae Seongjae earlier than expected, everything starts to veer off course. (Source: Lezhin Entertainment)
