After working overtime, office drone Fu Xinglan stays up all night finishing a melodramatic tragedy called The Contract Lover of Young Master Qi, then unexpectedly transmigrates into the story as a vicious cannon-fodder character with the same name as himself. For money and out of jealousy, the original Fu Xinglan framed Qi Guanye’s one true love, damaging Qi Guanye’s company and ruining his reputation. Enraged, Qi Guanye locked Fu Xinglan away in a villa on the outskirts of town and began two years of “torment and revenge.”
Fu Xinglan arrives on the first day of his confinement. Faced with the obsessive CEO who will torment him physically and emotionally in the original story, modern office drone Fu Xinglan’s first thought is: Rather than lament my fate, I should seize this chance to make money and build a career. As soon as things settle down, I’ll make a run for it!
He puts his talent as a top-tier planner to work, secretly helping Qi Guanye clean up messes and offering business advice. He even uses his foreknowledge to dodge several major business traps. Qi Guanye goes from suspicion and probing to gradually being drawn to this “completely different” “replacement.” His possessiveness and need for control grow increasingly twisted, pampering Fu Xinglan until he goes from “prisoner” to “caged canary.”
Yet Fu Xinglan remains clear-headed, convinced that Qi Guanye loves the “aloof and proud one true love” from the book and is only temporarily intrigued by him. Then he discovers by chance that the “plot” of this world has started to veer wildly off course, and Qi Guanye’s first words to him are: “You’re finally back.”
It turns out this was never a case of transmigrating into a book. The “one true love” Qi Guanye speaks of has always been Fu Xinglan from before his rebirth, the one who hadn’t yet fallen in love with him. Qi Guanye has waited two lifetimes for him.
My dears, I'm sorry!! The order of chapters in the novel starting from chapter 35 is somewhat reversed. It was my first time to use volume division, and I was not very proficient. Each chapter had to be divided into volumes every time it was published. I thought that if I created a new volume, the newly written chapters would be automatically divided into new volumes. Later I discovered that you have to choose the volume yourself. After selecting the volume, you cannot change it more than 3 days later. When I found out, it had already been divided into volumes. It was too late. Some chapters that I had written but forgot to change into volumes could no longer be changed. Later, there were chapters that were selected into the wrong volumes. I found out at the time that I revised them and passed the review, but the volumes were still the same as before and could not be modified at all, so the order of some chapters was out of order. Sorry!!!
