Synopsis

[Two male leads + both powerful + mutually devoted + don’t break up Ping Xie + sweet and angsty daily life, perfect for shipping]

The story starts with Little Notebook. The plot may change, and the male lead is an original character. There’s a System, but it’s basically set dressing. There are also on-screen comments, but they barely register and only occasionally give the romance a little push.

I’m Wen Tang, but I also have another name: Xie Wentang.

You dare lay a hand on the person I protect, you rats crawling around in the dark?

If Xie Yuchen can’t live out his natural lifespan, then I’ll allow him to die amid the power struggles of the Xie family, or on the battlefield of corporate warfare.

But he will not die at the hands of you rats, who know nothing but scheming, crawl through the gutters, and don’t even dare show your faces!

You self-important vermin think you can make him clean up your mess?

I, Xie Wentang, was thrown out of the Xie family. I’m not dead!

The Nine Gates, the Wang family, and me, Xie Wentang, are back.

Are you ready?

Bonus scene:

Wen Tang (restrained): “Whether I’m Xie Wentang or Wen Tang, I’ll do whatever you want.”

Xie Yuchen (disappointed): “I’ve never wanted an apology.”

Hei Xiazi (self-mocking): “Wen Tang, you’ve won more than just my life.”

Wu Xie (dejected): “From when we were kids until now, Brother Wen Tang has only ever had eyes for Xiao Hua...”

Zhang Qiling (downcast): “This person means a lot to Wu Xie.”

Wang Pangzi (sighing as he munches sunflower seeds): “One after another, they’re either tight-lipped or saying one thing and meaning another! Sigh... Without me, Master Pang, this family would fall apart!”

The old guard of the Nine Gates and the Wang family (shouting themselves hoarse): “Open your eyes and look! I’m the biggest victim here! Speak up for me!”

So many stories have characters say they have nothing to do with the protagonist's group and think up brilliant schemes, but then go out of their way to help the group and even get hurt for them! They're supposed to be strong, yet they're so frustratingly repressed! They're like Mother Teresa!

I don't want the protagonist saying they have to save someone, either. I still...
