Plot: Jiang Ren, a notorious gangster feared in the underworld, meets his end in a bloody shootout. But instead of dying, he wakes up in the body of Lin Zhi, a chubby high schooler with a weak personality, constantly bullied and looked down upon. His new life? A tiny apartment, a loving but poor father, and a body that gets winded just by climbing stairs. Determined to take control of his fate, Jiang Ren (now Lin Zhi) vows to get back in shape and reclaim the power he lost. Through intense training, he sheds the weight and regains his former strength. But there's a problem-his reputation at school is that of a harmless, soft-spoken nerd. The Gang Awakens: Despite his "innocent" new look, Lin Zhi's gangster instincts refuse to fade. When his former gang sees his sharp, commanding aura, they naturally submit to him. Without realizing it, Lin Zhi takes back control, but his cute new appearance makes everything ten times more chaotic! The School's Heartthrob Falls for Him: Enter Lu Shao, the school's top student, athlete, and the prince of everyone's dreams. He has always been surrounded by people trying to win his affection, but for some reason, he finds himself utterly fascinated by the "adorable" Lin Zhi. Lin Zhi beating up bullies? Cute. Lin Zhi unknowingly giving orders like a mafia boss? Adorable. Lin Zhi casually threatening someone with a knife? ...Wait, why is that still cute?! As Lu Shao falls deeper for this mysterious, seemingly harmless but oddly terrifying boy, Lin Zhi struggles to balance his gangster past with his new life. Will he keep up the illusion of innocence? Will he return to the dark side completely? And most importantly... will he survive the ridiculous amount of affection from a lovestruck school prince? ---

29 year old otaku shut-in Suzuki Ren's current daily life consisted of playing fantasy games when a black hole sucked him up and transported him to another world. When he awoke, he found himself as his younger version looking like a train wreck. He was in the middle of contemplating life when a goddess told him he was in a novel and had to save the world from its destruction. Listening to the goddess' words, he remembered it was a novel he previously read and was shocked. It wasn't a normal novel either. All the characters were psychos! And of course, the worst one of them all was the villain. Now, he had to survive in a world full of psychopaths and wanted nothing more than to return to his world and avoid them all. However, his role in the world didn't give him that option and could only press on unwillingly. But... A certain someone just wouldn't stop sticking to his side. 'Ah... Someone help me.'
