Wantang is a hidden powerhouse who came back from the cultivation world, as well as a struggling author who constantly leaves stories unfinished. Her readers complain and cry, while a System in a distant star sector wails and threatens to send her a knife because its favorite author stopped updating again. Furious at the author's refusal to change, the reader System takes him to the 1970s to experience the hardships of the characters in his own story, hoping to teach him not to leave his work unfinished.

Poor Wantang transmigrates into an early period novel he'd abandoned, becoming a nameless cannon-fodder character. He plops down on the ground and sings a mournful song. The System has no choice but to coax him and give him equipment, telling him to steal the male lead away: get him, and it's all profit. On the train, he falls in love at first sight with the male lead, Shen Xingmian, and begins a fierce struggle to fill in the story's gaps.

On the train, Shen Xingmian meets a soft-spoken young educated youth. The poor boy has no luggage at all, not even food, which softens Shen Xingmian's heart. He gives him a huge steamed bun, winning the young man's affection on the spot.

The young man follows him around all day. He can't lift or carry anything, which gives Shen Xingmian a headache. Yet he helps Shen Xingmian with chores and fights. Then one day, Shen Xingmian suddenly hears his inner thoughts and learns that he's an author who leaves stories unfinished, fell in love with him at first sight, and has been flirting with him in every way he can think of. Well, then, Shen Xingmian won't hold back.
