[Two male leads + physical and emotional angst + unequal status + relentless angst + substitute + forced love + confinement + imprisonment + severe angst warning for the middle and later chapters + repeated rebirths + repeated “chasing your wife to the crematorium” arcs]
Ye Feifan (the bottom) sold himself to Dong Chenyang (the top) to save his seriously ill mother, willingly becoming Tao Junheng's substitute.
Yet Tao Junheng was the person Dong Chenyang both loved and hated, the unattainable white moonlight in his heart.
For money, Ye Feifan was willing to play any role: lover, plaything, substitute, prisoner... As long as he could save his mother, he would do anything.
Dong Chenyang's obsession with Tao Junheng grew more intense by the day.
To win Tao Junheng, Dong Chenyang even considered giving Ye Feifan to Wang Hanyu, Tao Junheng's husband.
Unexpectedly, through a twist of fate, Ye Feifan became friends with Tao Junheng.
To get Ye Feifan, this obstacle, out of the way, Dong Chenyang plotted to have him sent to a detention center.
Then Tao Junheng became seriously ill and needed surgery.
As if making a sacrifice, Ye Feifan donated his own organs.
But the detention center staff, acting on Dong Chenyang's orders, planned to slowly grind Ye Feifan down.
After Tao Junheng died, Dong Chenyang missed him so desperately that he went mad. Only then did he remember the substitute in the detention center.
But Ye Feifan's body had already been battered by suffering and was beginning to give out.
After losing the one he loved, Dong Chenyang began to be reborn again and again.
With every rebirth, Dong Chenyang experienced the heart-rending agony of losing his beloved.
This was heaven's punishment for him.
