Ye Tianyi transmigrates into a melodramatic novel as a cannon-fodder character, bound to a rebellious System that’s running low on energy.
System: “Our goal is to make the original male lead so mad he drops dead!”
Ye Tianyi: “Does that include paying for the cremation? If not, I’m out.”
To earn his “buy a house and raise a dog” fund, he draws an SSR mission: “Give the male lead a show of force.” But he gets the time wrong and takes a VIP seat at the Peninsula Restaurant a day early.
A cold-faced king of hell with an aura that stands two meters tall sits across from him.
The king of hell looks at him and says seriously, “I love blind dates.”
Ye Tianyi: “???”
Only later does he learn that this man is the original male lead’s younger brother, Huo Jinyan, a section chief in the Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau.
Later still, the whole city knows that Chief Huo is pursuing a poor student in a hoodie, clumsy but bluntly sincere.
He brings him scorched soup, investigates his entire background, and claims him as his own.
Ye Tianyi only wants to lie flat and take life as it comes, yet somehow he becomes everyone’s darling and is carried home by an obsessive big shot.
System: “Host, it seems our mission has… gone off track. But we really did land ourselves a powerful patron!”
Huo Jinyan pins him in a corner, his breath scorching. “Why run? My place has room for you to raise a hundred dogs.”
