Lighthearted humor + intense push and pull + angst before sweetness + younger yandere + turning a straight man gay + rival suitors and a scheming green tea + a long road to winning back his lover
Shen Xing transmigrated into a dog-blood angst novel as a cannon-fodder character and was bound to a System. His goal: earn a hundred million and get home. To investigate his father's death, he approached Gu Chen, the obsessive tycoon in the book, only to be forcibly imprisoned by him. Gu Chen's love was suffocatingly intense: the bolted-shut windows were a prison, and his regretful tears were chains. Shen Xing pretended to submit as he waited for a chance to escape, but when Gu Chen knelt down weeping and let him go, Shen Xing realized he had already fallen for him.
He abandoned his mission and chose to stay. Gu Chen came to his senses and began his long campaign to win Shen Xing back, playing the helpless green tea and silently protecting him, showering him with overwhelming affection. Together, they fought the mastermind behind it all and uncovered old family grudges. Shen Xing accepted his feelings, and with the Gu family giving their approval, he gave up returning to reality just as the System mission was complete, all so he could stay by Gu Chen's side.
From captivity to redemption, from obsession to true love, the two finally embraced on a snowy night in B City and promised to spend their lives together.
