Ye Zhiyu awakens and discovers that he is the tragic, beautiful, powerful villain in a redemption novel. The System will send someone from another world to save him.
Someone does arrive, but Ye Zhiyu realizes that the golden finger he was waiting for never showed up. Instead, he got an adorable little softie.
Someone who loves eating, drinking, and sleeping, and also loves spending his money.
It isn't until much, much later that Ye Zhiyu learns that in Minnan dialect, "Lin Bei" means "your dad."

Lin Bei transmigrates into a book, assigned by the System to redeem the tragic, beautiful, powerful villain in the story.
He's good at pulling the wool over people's eyes.
But Lin Bei never expected that the moment he transmigrated into the book, he'd hear, "Ding dong! Hello, your tragic, beautiful, powerful villain has awakened."
But the task still has to be completed, so Lin Bei has no choice but to shamelessly follow Ye Zhiyu around.
When Ye Zhiyu refuses, Lin Bei immediately tears up, then tells him gossip like a little puppy. Everyone loves gossip, after all.
Like how Ye Zhiyu's secretary and his second uncle's secretary are hooking up, having foursomes, and secretly joining forces to steal his project.
The moment Ye Zhiyu hears this, his expression turns cold, and he doesn't even notice Lin Bei following him anymore.
Lin Bei shrugs. See? He told you nobody can resist gossip.

But at some point, Ye Zhiyu suddenly stops letting him go see male models. He won't even let him touch their abs anymore.
Lin Bei is upset. Lin Bei is confused.
But then Lin Bei gets to touch the most perfect abs in the world.
Ye Zhiyu lounges back lazily, biting the hem of his black shirt. He looks up, eyes dangerous, and beckons Lin Bei with a finger. "Sweetheart, satisfied?"
Lin Bei's heart stops.
He stammers in disbelief, "Y-You're straight, aren't you?"
"Who said that?"
Ding dong. Now he's in trouble.
Oh no, he's turned the tragic, beautiful, powerful villain gay.
So all that time he was doing things that weren't exactly brotherly, under the pretense of being brothers???
What kind of mess is this?!
