Lin Shu died tragically in a fire. Before closing his eyes, Lin Shu thought that if there was an afterlife, he would never be a human again. Being a human would be too tiring, and he would be abandoned by his lover, framed by his relatives, and locked in a mental hospital would be worse than death. In the raging fire, carbon monoxide poured into his nostrils. Lin Shu listened to Qin Yuchi's favorite song, thinking that he could finally get relief. He and Qin Yuchi are like two poles of a glacier, never meeting. He and Qin Yuchi are like a magnetic field with the same pole, always repelling each other. Lin Shu knew that they were not suitable, but he didn't believe in evil or fate, he only loved Qin Yuchi, so he tried his best to make Qin Yuchi accept his love by threatening his acting career. So in the end, Lin Shu was sent to a mental hospital and had no peace every night. This was just Qin Yuchi's revenge, the punishment he deserved. At the moment when his breathing stopped, Lin Shu recalled Qin Yuchi's disgusting eyes, looking at him as if he was looking at the dirt in the mud, and suddenly felt that everything was lifeless and meaningless. When closing his eyes, Lin Shu exhausted his last bit of strength and murmured, "I'll let you go, Yuchi." Opening his eyes again, Lin Shu returned to two years ago, the peak of his career, before he met Qin Yuchi.
