Qin Yan died (cause unknown and under investigation). His soul was able to transmigrate...into an eggplant. Astounding!
The world he transmigrated into was from a crappy novel he read previously. As in, a novel he read over ten years ago, of which he remembered next to nothing about. The system uselessly told him to make others angry, gave a few dubious promises, refused to explain anything, then disappeared. And so, eggplant Qin Yan was left to grow in a Demonic Sect's territory where the screams of the tormented were as commonplace as the usual backdrop songs in an elevator. And since when was an eggplant predatory like a Venus fly trap?!
Qin Yan: "Um, could I just R.I.P. instead? Not sure if I want to grow into a demonic eggplant..." Author: *utter silence* *presses angst button*
In the end, Qin Yan's only solace was in tickling the future protagonist of the novel, who was apparently going to blacken into a scummy man with a diverse harem. It was too much of a pity...so Qin Yan figured that if it was unavoidable that he was growing into a strange eggplant, he might as well try and help the young protagonist escape his tragic fate?
