MTL - Close to You - Chapter 8

Everyone has friends in their lives, right?They can be anyone—good friends, bad friends, or even... friends with benefits.Ahem!Anyway, the point is, everyone has friends. And so did I.I was friends with author of web novel.Yeah, was.A small argument over how the main character should act in novel of [World’s Greatest Hero] led to a fight with my friend, the author.Still frustrated, I stormed out of his house... and that’s when Truck-kun hit me.But that wasn’t the worst part.The worst part? I woke up in a different body—the body of a side character in my friend’s novel.A character who is supposed to die in the prologue.[Your body is dying!][You don’t have much time left.][The creator of this world is mocking you.]F#ck you, Author.F#ck this novel.I will survive, and when I do—I'll beat you to a pulp!

[IT'S NETORI, not the disgusting Netorare]COUGH Since our lazy author-nim is a bit... let's say, challenged in the synopsis-writing department, I'm stepping in. Sigh... now he's making me do his job too... X(Let's hope he can at least complete my story.Anyway, I'm Lucian, a 35-year-old guy with a rare disease that's cutting my time short. But here I am, working till my last breath sigh.*KNOCK*Oh, a guest! Gotta be quick—can't keep a lady waiting. So, after I kicked the bucket, I woke up in a body that kinda looked like mine but not really. Turns out, I'm on a flipped planet ruled by women. And guess what? I'm married to a cold and crazy ya#SPOILER#. My new mom? Total #SPOILER#. Then I *CENSORED* her right in *BEEP* of my new dad.To get stronger, I need to travel to #SPOILER#. Instead of a cool system, I got a useless b... *BANG* (gunshot).Due to health related issues, Lucian will be taking off, and the author will continue from here...“Kyaaa!! The patient died from a gunshot!”Don’t worry, Doc. He was on borrowed time anyway. So, let’s talk about what this story has.“B-But, he still had a few months to—”*BANG*So, here's what you can expect: Revenge, mystery, a bit of comedy, an overpowered MC (maybe), all the deredere, milfs a lot of them, wince... *COUGH*, hacking, a hero, a villain, manipulation, crime and a lot more.What you won’t find here: NTR, Yuri, a girlfriend, a job?, etc.Now, the serious stuff. This story aims to keep things light and happy but will have its fair share of sad and rage moments. Alright, that's it for now; I need to go, or we might actually lose our MC before the story even starts...For those who prefer to keep things PG, feel free to skip the R-18 chapters. We understand, really! And for those who pride themselves on being ‘Men of Culture,’ get ready to savor the spice. Bon appétit!

Existence was divided into three realms. The Heavenly Realm. The Earthen Realm. The Infernal Realm. Below them, countless minor realms of all types existed, none able to match the might of any of the Three Fundamental realms. The Celestials led the Heavenly Realm, The Immortals led the Earthen Realm and Demons led the Infernal Realm while the Rulers controlled all the minor realms. Together, they formed The Myriad Unity and allowed peace to reign supreme. The mortals were allowed to cultivate and reach for the Heavens as a balance was installed between the Heaven and Earth, all according to the Heaven’s Will. And yet, among the billions of trillions of living beings within the Myriad Unity, one seemed unsatisfied. “They are lying to us.” This man went against all known truths and contradicted the very gods. “We are in a false world! Mere pawns used to study an outcome!” And so in search of freedom and truth, this man committed the ultimate taboo. He rebelled.

Li Zifu’s bad friend Yang Dejin made a prophecy, and the two of them both traveled through time and became the cannon fodder of two villains in a novel about the heroine.
Li Zichou looked at his dazzlingly bright dragon robe: …Yang Dejin, what an open mouth!
Yang Dejin dressed as Prince Yu disguised as a man to hide his identity: Zifu, have you also time-traveled? great!
Li Zichou took a deep breath: …not very good.
The setting of the original book: when the first female ruler of Dasheng came to the throne, the heroine Bai Qingyang was forcibly named queen by her. Bearing a serious crime, she endured dormancy in the palace, secretly inciting the empress and the prince to turn against each other, and in the end the fisherman reaped the benefits and ruled the world.
One is a brutal, bloodthirsty and wanton female tyrant, and the other is an ambitious prince who disguises himself as a man.
Both died, and the two died happily.
Li Zishou and Yang Dejin agreed that they would turn the tide before their respective death dates, and neither of them was allowed to show up.
In order to survive, Li Zi paid for the army and infrastructure construction, crazily swiping the favorability of the heroine, and laying a solid foundation for the heroine to ascend the throne. It is our duty to revive the glory of Dasheng!
On the other hand, Yang Dejin kept lighting up the skill tree, went to the temple and got the kitchen, raised private soldiers while running a business, and occasionally investigated cases with Xie Zhi, the Minister of Justice.
However, the two of them at that time did not expect that the object of their solo would be reborn after committing suicide, and the other would go back in time.
Of the four, none of them were reopened.
Later…
Li Zichou frowned: Don’t you think there is something wrong with the way Xie Zhi looks at you?
Yang Dejin also frowned: Impossible! I only like girls! I think Bai Qingyang is still interested in you!
Li Zifu beat the case: Impossible! Bai Qingyang is a straight girl!
Yang Dejin also took the case: Then I’m pure lesbian too!
Bai Qingyang: .
Xie Zhi:.
The desire to survive is full of Li Zishou × rebirth heroine Bai Qingyang
Born to Love Playing the Bookboy Yang Dejin × Disguising as a Man Backtracker Xie Zhirui

VERY IMPORTANT VIEWING GUIDE:
1. The background is empty, and the dynasty cannot be tested
2. There are too many private settings, some refer to Wikipedia
3. The writing style is limited, so you can leave it at will
4. The plot is the main focus, and the emotion is the supplement
5. Qingshui Wen, who tells stories seriously
6. In terms of personal pronouns, when other characters face a character who conceals their gender, the insider uses “she” and the uninformed uses “he”, including dialogue and psychological activities. (Cold knowledge: “he” can be used to refer generally)
