Lin Zheng transmigrated into a sweet and pampering romance novel, becoming the pitiful cannon fodder receiver-a character known for his taciturn nature, reticence, frequent bullying, and ten years of unrequited love for the male protagonist. While the main couple follows a sweet and pampering storyline, his own path is a blatant tragic romance. According to the plot, he'd date the male protagonist for a while, but after two months, upon the protagonist's meeting with the main receiver, he would be mercilessly abandoned, then ridiculed and driven away to live a miserable life alone. He transmigrated right as he was in a relationship with the male protagonist. When people saw him holding flowers: "They say he got these flowers after relentlessly pursuing Young Master Gu, who reluctantly bought them for him on the roadside." When people saw him waiting for the bus alone: "He must have angered Young Master Gu, who couldn't stand him anymore." When people saw him leaving the cinema alone: "I heard that Young Master Gu is pursuing Young Master Wu's son, probably tired of playing with him." However, the flowers were a carefully chosen gift from Gu Lin, who took time off work to personally select them for Lin Zheng. He was waiting for the bus alone because Gu Lin had upset Lin Zheng, and he refused to get into Gu Lin's car, so Gu Lin followed him in his car the entire way. He left the cinema alone because Lin Zheng said he was cold, and Gu Lin went back to the car to get him a coat. Unseen, Gu Lin held his lover's hand, kissing him lovingly. Everyone: "Wait, wasn't this supposed to be a tragic romance?!" Although Gu Lin treated him well, Lin Zheng noticed that while minor details might change, important plot points related to the main characters seemed unchangeable. He guessed that Gu Lin would still abandon him after two months upon meeting the main receiver. So, he decided to abandon Gu Lin before he met the main receiver, packing his bags and running away.

The real world skins you alive. It's a hazard of growing up in rural Suffolk... or possibly, it's a hazard of growing up. Either way, the Dorian Andrade and Isaiah Matalon who reunite at a party in Oxford have become equally disenchanted imitations of the boys who used to spend summers eating apples on the riverbank.
