How a Manga Villain Disguises Himself as a Background Character

When Ye Jingyu discovers that his world is actually a manga, he has just been written into a death scene.

To trigger the male protagonist's awakening, the manga's greatest villainous organization—the Men in Black—is supposed to brutally murder him.

Ye Jingyu tilts his head.

…What?

Orphaned at a young age, Ye Jingyu had relied on his older brother as his only family. But three years ago, his brother died, leaving him completely alone.

According to the manga's original plot, however, the male protagonist transmigrates into his brother's body, takes over his identity, and begins his path to awakening and becoming stronger after Ye Jingyu's death.

The problem is—

Ye Jingyu has no intention of obediently dying for someone else's character development.

And the seemingly ordinary background character trying to stay outside the spotlight may be far more closely connected to the manga's villains than anyone realizes.
