Novel[]
I found myself inside the bleak BL novel Silence, where both the protagonist and the antagonist perish. And I became the oppressed omega, Seo Heemin, who tries to escape, ends up breaking his ankle, and even suffers a miscarriage. As expected, as soon as I come to my senses, I am sold to Cha Yiheon, who harbors a deep grudge against the original protagonist.
“Why don’t you hit me?”
“…Do you want to be hit?”
Fortunately, he is a revenge-driven character who loves Seo Heemin dearly. To return to reality, I have to gently seduce him and achieve a happy ending.
Manhwa[]
Huimin Seo happened to read a tragic BL novel where the two main characters had both his name and even his best friend’s name, Iheon Cha. But rather than remaining as an incredible coincidence, this book becomes a new reality for Huimin. Before he knows it, he is transmigrated right into a major scene in the novel where Huimin Seo, a rare dominant omega, gets bought off in an auction by Iheon Cha, a powerful dominant alpha. Aware of the complications in this love-hate relationship that he cannot escape from, Huimin must tread carefully to turn things around entirely.

Story[]
Huimin awakens to find himself chained as an auction is underway. As he is announced as the dominant omega, Huimin wonders what is this place. At some point Huimin was told to look at a book titled "Silence" where it was said that the character had Huimin's name. His sister was also aware of what an omegaverse series is.
The novel Huimin was a dominant omega who is afraid of alphas, Huimin started to avoid his friend Iheon when he was diagnosed as a dominant alpha. As an adult, the novel Huimin had drawing as his only joy in life but was then dragged to an auction to be sold in exchange for his father's debt. Where Huimin is in a cage as his details are shared by an announcer, it feels to him like he is dreaming the exact same scene from the novel.
Remembering that he finished his first ever tragic boys love novel about a confined main character, Huimin recalls how the main novel character Huimin witnessed the character Iheon die in his arms, before ending his own life. His attention brought back to the dream as bidding is underway, Huimin listens as the price rockets upwards. Since dominant omegas are rare, the alphas who have wealth and power try to possess them by any means necessary.
Holding onto the prison bars, Huimin frames it as something he could only have in a dream where he regards it as a VR auction experience. Affected by a pheromone that he is also surprised to find in a dream, Huimin feels nauseous all of a sudden. Thinking to the novel, it is known that most of the people at the auction house were alphas, and secondly that the novel Huimin was able to sense their pheromones ten times stronger.
Feeling like he has actually become the novel Huimin he then requests some water from the auctioneer. Feeling better after drinking, Huimin thinks how the novel Huimin is sold to Iheon Cha. Looking for him in the room, Huimin remembers first seeing Iheon's name in the novel. While it made him want to put the book down even more, Huimin ended up finishing it since he wanted to know what happened next.
Upon the winning bid being announced, Huimin is in disbelief that the Iheon mentioned in the novel looks exactly the same as his friend Iheon. One change from the book is that Huimin finds he got sold for a higher bid. Listening to his crass way of speaking, Huimin hears from the dream Iheon that he will have to prove that he is worth the money spent on him. Huimin finds it is exactly the same dialogue from the book.[1]
