He Jingtong, a dedicated unfortunate soul who literally embodied the saying "sacrifice blood and sweat," had always been the embodiment of bad luck before discovering one shocking truth: he’s the protagonist of a hot-blooded manga.
After uncovering the truth, He Jingtong decides to "disguise" himself as the quintessential tragic yet beautiful anti-hero:
Stunningly attractive, immensely powerful, but tragically doomed.
A tender soul who always loses the things he cherishes most.
Torn between madness and rationality, struggling not to hurt others while enduring the emotional storm within.
Online manga forums are in uproar:
“Why does He Jingtong always miss out on happiness? It’s so unfair!”
“That one panel where he hesitated and trusted someone before being betrayed—pure heartbreak!”
“Why is his life so tragic?! I’m crying!”
However, behind the scenes, He Jingtong manipulates events masterfully, leading every character who wronged him to their doom. To him, this fictional world is nothing but a façade.
But can he find something real within the falsehood?
Perhaps in the growing waves of "unjustified tragedy" posts flooding forums...
Or maybe through the System’s promise:
“When manga popularity reaches one billion, you may break the fourth wall.”

Reading Notes:
The protagonist is a calculating, self-aware anti-hero who’s convinced of his own "normalcy."
Background includes supernatural themes with a personal twist (I-style supernatural).
An intricately plotted, forum-style psychological exploration of a tragic anti-hero flipping the script.
One-Liner: A self-aware manga protagonist takes control of his destiny and discovers unexpected truths within his own fictional world.
