  Summary

  [DISCONTINUED]

  Lu Guang tries everything he can to prevent the same outcome as in past timelines from happening: Cheng Xiaoshi’s death.

  His biggest problem now is Cheng Xiaoshi’s spiralling mental state and the fact that he has convinced himself that the world would be better off without him in it.
