[Two male leads | wealthy family | adored by all | childhood friend rises to the top | transmigrate into a book | both reborn]
[Flirtatious, troublemaking young master who doesn’t realize what he’s doing vs. cold, abstinent childhood friend with a scheming streak]
Ji Lin'an transmigrates into a book.
The good news: He’s become a wealthy young master with the same name. Sure, he’s not well liked, but at least he’s rich!
The bad news: He’s a vicious side character who can’t win the heroine’s love, and he ends up as a universally hated rat in the gutter.
“Damn it, he took a winning hand and played it into a complete mess.”
Ji Lin'an swears to cherish his life and stay away from the male and female leads!
And spend some money while he’s at it.
The little miser laughs up at the sky. “I don’t need love. Just give me an absurd amount of money!!”
In the book, his childhood friend never abandons him and even cleans up after all the bad things he does.
Ji Lin'an is so moved that he bursts into tears.
Then he catches a glimpse of his friend’s abs and drools enviously. “Mmm~ Can I touch them?”
His childhood friend, who has secretly loved him for years but never confessed, obediently steps closer, holding back his feelings. What am I supposed to do with you?
Unbeknownst to him, his childhood friend Gu Chilian was reborn on the very day Ji Lin'an transmigrated into the book.
Given a second chance, he swears to protect Ji Lin'an and stop the person he loves from going down a path of no return.
It doesn’t matter if the other man doesn’t know how he feels.
He thought he could keep his love to himself, even as he watched Ji Lin'an get married and have children. But he underestimated just how much he loved him.
So he starts secretly luring him in.
Gu Chilian: “An'an, want to see what it feels like?”
Ji Lin'an reaches out and gives him a squeeze. When he hears the other man let out a soft gasp, a strange feeling rises within him, and he hurriedly pulls his hand away.
“You shouldn’t do that anymore.”
Gu Chilian takes his hand and presses it against his chest. “Do what?”
