The Boys’ Dorm Group Transmigrates into a Dog-Blood Novel

Four university students from Dorm 215, Feng Congzhou, Xiao Yongmu, Lan Xi, and Ji Yuan, die in a tragic car accident during their graduation trip. Instead of passing on, they are revived and transported into a fictional world known as City A, which is composed of four interconnected web novels. A mechanical system informs them that they have been recruited by the Small World Management Bureau to fix plot bugs caused by expanding novel dimensions. Each member is assigned a role that contradicts their original personality: Lan Xi becomes Lan Xi, a humble and abused cheap shou in a chasing wife crematorium story; Xiao Yongmu becomes Xiao Yongmu, a scumbag gong in a romance novel; Ji Yuan becomes Ji Yuan, a ruthless phoenix man from a poor background; and Feng Congzhou becomes a nameless passerby character with no significant role in the main plots.

The core conflict arises from the disparity between their true identities and their assigned fictional roles. Lan Xi, originally a straight man, must endure the humiliation of playing a subservient lover to a scumbag protagonist. Xiao Yongmu, a dramatic and talkative individual, must embody the cold and arrogant demeanor of a wealthy CEO. Ji Yuan, a laid-back rich second generation, is forced into the role of a greedy and ambitious man who will eventually ruin his own life. Feng Congzhou, the only one with a neutral role, serves as the group's anchor, tasked with preventing a catastrophic plot bug where the main villain kills the protagonists out of a misunderstanding.

As they navigate their new lives, the four maintain communication through a shared mental group chat, allowing them to support each other despite being in different storylines within the same city. Ji Yuan begins his journey by taking a job as a bartender to survive his impoverished character setting. During his shift, he encounters Lu Guanning, the male lead of his story, who is intrigued by Ji Yuan's sharp tongue and lack of subservience. This deviation from the original plot, where Ji Yuan was supposed to be purely subservient, catches Lu Guanning's attention and alters the trajectory of their relationship.

Meanwhile, Lan Xi struggles with his role as the abused partner, facing daily humiliation from his character's love interest. Xiao Yongmu deals with the complexities of his romantic entanglements, finding himself torn between two male leads. Feng Congzhou observes the unfolding events from the sidelines, using his knowledge of the plot to guide his friends and mitigate the damage caused by their out-of-character actions. The group discovers that their actions in one novel can affect the others, as the four stories are deeply intertwined within the same social hierarchy of City A.

The story progresses as Ji Yuan negotiates a transactional relationship with Lu Guanning, demanding a large sum of money to sever ties with his abusive family. This bold move surprises Lu Guanning, who becomes increasingly fascinated by Ji Yuan's unconventional behavior. The original plot, which relied on Ji Yuan's desperation and subservience, is disrupted, forcing the narrative to adapt to these new dynamics. Feng Congzhou continues to monitor the situation, ensuring that the world does not collapse due to the bugs they are creating.

The narrative highlights the challenges of maintaining one's identity while conforming to external expectations. The four friends rely on their bond to cope with the psychological strain of their roles. They share advice, vent their frustrations, and celebrate small victories in the mental group chat. Their friendship becomes the stabilizing force that prevents them from losing themselves in the fictional worlds they inhabit. The story sets the stage for further conflicts as the characters' actions begin to diverge significantly from their original scripts, leading to unpredictable outcomes for all involved.
