Summary
Lin Ling woke up in Nice’s past.
Above his head, Loli stood with her arms cocked in a batter's swing.
His day didn't really improve from there.--
Or: Company-sanctioned body-doubling was a lot easier than actually taking over Nice's life.
The death-triggered time loop was also unfortunate.Series

Summary
In the weeks leading up to the Hero Tournament, TREEMAN dumps a new responsibility onto Lin Ling: looking after their former hero Nice, freshly revived from the dead. Between trying to teach the guy a healthy work-life balance and dealing with his own lingering grief for Moon, the Commoner has his hands full. And that's not even including the Hero Tournament coming up in less than a month...
"Let's just—here, I'll get off you first, so—"
PUNCH.
"Ow!"

Summary
In the wake of Nice’s reappearance at the tournament, Lin Ling considers whether he would’ve done anything differently. Only months before, he had watched the man fall to his death. Now Nice stands before him looking like the broken pieces of a figurine put back together.
Uncovering the mess that lies behind Treeman is one thing. Trying to save Nice is another.
But he must save him. Even if Nice doesn’t want to be saved.

Summary
Society could never know how much Trust value affected the everyday life of their heroes, Smile could understand how disastrous that would be.
No, he wouldn’t change society’s ignorance, but he would have liked for the Hero Agencies to give a warning to the new rising heroes, who still were at the start of their career, to be very, very careful with how they branded themselves. Smile still flinched every time he thought about Firm-man’s side effects for too long.
Aka: The young hero was starting to struggle, considering the way Nice clung to Smile’s forearm like he wanted nothing more than to pull him into a hug and hide from the world at large. Considering his brand had him presented as the ‘perfect hero’, Smile wasn’t too surprised. He didn’t want to even imagine the kind of pressure that was placed on those young shoulders.

Or,
Nice gets drunk, meets Lin Ling, and then unknowingly ends up teaching him to dance. It’s complicated.
