Shi Yu'an, male, firmly a top. After transmigrating, he becomes the legitimate son of a Court of Judicial Review official, and is betrothed after sleeping with someone and leaving him behind.
To avoid being branded a scoundrel who preys on women, he climbs over the wall and flees in the middle of the night, making off with a hair ribbon belonging to the culprit while he's at it.
Three years later, in Jiangnan.
Shi Yu'an has reinvented himself as the owner of a moderately well-known restaurant. His business partner keeps asking why he refuses to go to the capital.
He says mysteriously, "The capital has bad feng shui. It's bad luck for me."
Just then, an exquisitely handsome man wearing a veiled hat steps out of the private room next door.
Shi Yu'an takes one look and nearly blacks out.
Isn't that the ruthless man he pounced on three years ago?!
The man comes closer, plucks the hair ribbon from his head with a fingertip, and says icily:
"I hear you don't want to marry me?"
"And you've been running for three years?"
"Someone, tie up the eldest young master Shi and bring him back to the manor. I'll personally teach him how you can get married even if you hardly know each other."
Shi Yu'an: Help! Is it too late to drop to my knees and beg for mercy?
