This is my memoir, as I call it—though to some, it’s merely a novel. It doesn’t matter. All I ask is that those who hold me dear see it as a memoir: the story of a boy’s life, etched in the shadows of the past on TruyenHD. It’s a tapestry threaded with jealousy, woven with sincere love, bound by sacrifice, and tangled in the schemes of existence. At times, life unfurls moments so absurd they defy reason. At times, people turn away from the fairy tales that bloom quietly in the hum of everyday life. And that’s alright—it’s their privilege to feel as they do. Life, after all, has always spun its strange, unchanging dance.Yet I invite you to read, to let your heart wander through these pages. Perhaps you’ll find a whisper of something that stirs your soul. I can’t promise this tale will capture you, but I vow to tell it with unflinching truth until its final breath, even if it seems utterly implausible. For to me, this is no fiction—it’s a living memoir. And so, I name it The Days of Yesterday… Once Were, or simply My Life.

This is the story of a young university student who falls in love with a prostitute named Tham. Drawn into her world, he soon finds himself entangled in troubles far beyond what a naïve, inexperienced young man could handle. He must face not only the chaos of her life, but also harsh judgment from society and his own family. Can he overcome these obstacles and stay true to his feelings? And more importantly—can love from someone like Tham be genuine, or is it merely a fleeting game in a world where nothing is ever real?

This tale weaves a wild tapestry of fantasy and fiction. Duong, a guy obsessed with steamy novels and JAV films, meets an absurd end when a plane crashes into him during a private moment. But death is just the beginning—his soul is whisked away and reborn into the body of a useless man who shares his name. What strange twist of fate or stroke of luck brought him to this bizarre new world? And what extraordinary opportunities await him in this second chance at life?
