Can't Escape! The Cold, Powerful Official's Possessiveness Is Off the Charts

[Two Male Leads + Mutual First Love + Happy Ending + Transmigrate Into a Book + Sweet Romance]

What is it like to become the younger brother of a cannon-fodder female lead?

Xue Xingzhou's answer: A headache.

Their parents died young, leaving the siblings to depend on each other. His older sister was widowed young, then met a powerful man from the capital and brought her younger brother along to live at the Pei residence.

But his older sister is a beautiful fool, full of schemes she can't think through, while the original Xue Xingzhou was a timid, honest man. The siblings cause trouble at the Pei household, constantly stirring up chaos, until they finally anger Pei Zonglin, the future head of the Pei family.

They both win a one-way ticket to a freefall off a cliff.

Having transmigrated into the book, Xue Xingzhou knows how hard it is to survive. His position is awkward, so he needs to find someone powerful to back him up.

He is thoughtful toward everyone, makes friends wherever he can, and gets along with the young masters of the household to keep his options open.

He discusses unsolved cases with the fourth young master, chats about poetry with the third, and talks about life's ambitions with Pei Zonglin...

He doesn't notice that someone is watching him with an increasingly dark gaze.

Then one day, Pei Zonglin blocks Xue Xingzhou's way.

The man's calm voice carries a hint of madness:

"Keep your distance from those people."

Pei Zonglin is the future head of the family, burdened with great responsibilities and always busy. Recently, he has noticed that someone has been becoming far too involved in his life.

He doesn't like the feeling.

Later, he realizes that this person isn't only becoming involved in his life, but in everyone else's too.

He likes that even less.

He won't allow it!
