​He just wanted to save his sister. Now he has to survive the truth. ​Selim was a nobody—a quiet student plagued by terrifying nightmares—until the day he woke up with a playing card in his hand and a voice in his head.

The truck didn't just kill the old me. It turned me into a science experiment. When I woke up in the hospital, my memories were gone. My name, my past, my family—all wiped clean. But the doctors left something else behind in the empty space. To save my life, the beautiful and cold Dr. Evans injected me with an experimental "vitality serum." Now, I’m alive, but I’m living with a side effect that’s driving me insane: A constant, painful state of arousal that I cannot relieve myself. My own hands don't work. The only thing that soothes the burning fire in my blood is the touch of a woman. Cast out onto the streets with no money and a body screaming for release, I discover I have one other side effect. I can see the "blueprints" of the world. I can fix any machine, solve any mechanical failure, and repair any broken system with a single touch. I am the ultimate Handyman. From the shy doctor’s daughter who needs help with her car, to the lonely housewife with a broken sink, to the CEO with a corrupt server... the city is full of women with problems only I can fix. I’ll fix their pipes, their engines, and their lives. In exchange? They’re going to have to help me with my… hardship. I don’t know who I used to be. But I know what I am now. I’m open for business.

Lin Feng read the novel for nine years. He hated it. He argued with it. He even left hundreds of comments no one answered. He knew every major plot turn and every character the story decided was expendable. He also knew how it ended for him. When Lin Feng wakes up transmigrated into that same novel as a minor villain, he remembers exactly what the plot demands. In eight years, he is supposed to die. Not alone. The people who stood by him are meant to follow soon after. One leaves a suicide note. Another writes that she doesn’t want to live a second longer without him. Their deaths are treated as acceptable losses so the real protagonist can move forward. The protagonist has a system. The world bends to protect him. Everything else exists to be used and discarded. Lin Feng has no system. What he has is memory, resentment, and a clear understanding of how those deaths are supposed to happen. He decides they are unacceptable. By avoiding the spotlight, interfering early, and changing events long before they reach the point of no return, Lin Feng turns himself into a variable the story was never built to handle. Every deviation carries risk. Every choice he makes draws attention. But if the narrative demands that everyone who cared about him dies quietly to preserve a hero’s rise, then the narrative itself is the problem. A transmigration story about survival, shared fate, and refusing to accept an ending where love is treated as collateral damage.
