Gu Sui'an transmigrates to an apocalyptic world where spiritual qi has revived. He struggles to survive for ten years, and only activates his secret identity System when he is on the verge of death.
His true self is frail and can only hide in a safe zone to recuperate. But through one secret identity after another, he ventures beyond the walls, sweeps across the wasteland with overwhelming strength, and gradually establishes a rising force that makes every faction wary: Zhulong.
The world knows only that Zhulong is full of powerful figures, never realizing that all these influential people are puppets controlled by Gu Sui'an himself.
So, in the eyes of outsiders, the frail, beautiful young man is somehow deeply entangled with every major figure in Zhulong.
Lin Xuechen, the cold and powerful leader of Zhulong, regards him as his most precious weakness. Xie Bujidu, the unruly wasteland swordsman, is gentle only with him.
Even Jiang Zhuyue, the poison doctor who refuses to treat the living, bends down and feeds him medicine mouth to mouth to coax him into taking it.
When Gu Sui'an hears the rumors, his pupils shake with shock. Could there really be anyone in this world who doesn't love him?
And who started the rumor about feeding him medicine mouth to mouth?
The truth is, he thought the medicine was too bitter and refused to take it, so he threw a tantrum and made Jiang Zhuyue take it with him.
Jiang Zhuyue drank his dose, and Gu Sui'an quietly poured his own out. Jiang Zhuyue got so angry that he grabbed Gu Sui'an by the chin and forced the medicine down his throat.
The rumors are spreading everywhere, but Gu Sui'an can't stop people from gossiping.
So all he can do is watch the stories grow more and more outrageous until even he is almost starting to believe them.
During an expedition into a secret realm, Lin Xuechen swoops in to save Gu Sui'an from danger.
Amid the smoke and dust, his boyfriend Shen Chongming, missing for three years, suddenly appears.
Brainwashed by the rumors, Shen Chongming sees the "new love" Lin Xuechen, who never leaves Gu Sui'an's side, and pulls Gu Sui'an into his arms. His voice hoarse, he says:
"Whatever they can give you, I can give you too... Come back to me."
Gu Sui'an looks up into those familiar yet strange eyes and once again laments how harmful rumors can be.
But how is he supposed to explain that the men making Shen Chongming insanely jealous are all himself?
Reader's Guide:
1. Spoiled, sickly bottom x unhinged, loyal-dog top
2. The protagonist has more than one secret identity, but they're all male (because I want to write a love-triangle showdown).
3. There will probably be outsiders misunderstanding the protagonist's relationships with his secret identities and shipping them.
Theme: Better to rely on yourself than on others.
