[Dual male leads + two powerful protagonists + transmigrate into a book + clever, beautiful, adored-by-all bottom x sharp-tongued-but-softhearted, self-conquering guard-dog top]
[Secret identities + adored by all + archrivals]
After transmigrating into the role of a doomed, vicious villain, Mu Chao is pushed to the brink by the System: kill his archrival Xia Yichen, or suffer torment in the Demon Abyss for ten thousand years.
He chooses to save his own skin, but his character falls apart the first time he picks a fight.
He snatches things as if he’s flirting, and even his archrival’s soul-bound sword betrays its master, circling him affectionately.
To escape this life-threatening entanglement, Mu Chao sneaks into a trial, only to crash straight into his archrival, who is wearing a secret identity.
Behind his mask, Xia Yichen seems to have broken free of his restraints, transforming from a cold guard dog into an affectionate, devoted puppy.
And when Mu Chao puts on a secret identity of his own to escape, the man sees through him at a glance and holds him captive in his arms.
His sworn enemy stubbornly believes this is all a scheme for revenge, but his composure had already fallen apart the moment his soul-bound sword hummed for Mu Chao.
This so-called “archenemy” is nothing but a sharp-tongued, softhearted guard dog who has completely won himself over for Mu Chao alone.
