Jiang Lai transmigrated into a book, transforming from a grimy tower crane operator on a construction site into the book’s titular young master, who happened to share his name.

The original owner had met a tragic end at the hands of the true young master. Jiang Lai, well aware of the dangers of being an imposter, knew that staying far from the true young master was the key to survival a responsibility for all.

Now, they were pressed together on a single bed in a dorm room, their lips brushing against each other’s foreheads as the scent of the same shampoo mingled in the air.

As Jiang Lai drifted in and out of sleep, a notification chimed in his mind:

System: Ding! Congratulations, Host, you’ve triggered the Easter Egg: [Kiss on the Forehead of the Love Interest]

The breathing of the young man, which had been long and steady, suddenly hitched. What followed was a heartbeat so rapid it threatened to leap out of his chest.
