Yu Tingbai, Tobio, a pampered young master born with a silver spoon, with an angelic face and a devilish nature.
His extravagant life for the rest of his days had already been paid for by the mighty serpent crest that once shone over Milan. Born into the glory of the Visconti family, he came into the world with half Roman aristocratic blood, half Eastern merchant-royal blood, and an entire private estate.
The young master had a dreadful temper. He was willful, spoiled, and savage.
His personal attendants were replaced in batches like seasonal flowers in a vase. In the end, only the obedient black-haired young man remained.
In the entire estate, only Yu Tingbai, who knew Chinese, could understand his name.
“He says his name is SU, Jiang Su.”
After helping the young master put on his socks and shoes, the servant Jiang Su would respectfully bow and kiss the shoes. He would also kneel in the riding ring without the slightest shame, serving as Yu Tingbai’s footstool.
He was the young master’s most loyal servant, his most obedient dog.
Until something called “bullet comments” flashed across Yu Tingbai’s vision.
[The Eastern servant is actually the biggest evil god BOSS in this instance!]
[The young master is going to die soon. He’ll be the chicken killed to scare the monkeys!]
Seeing Yu Tingbai stare blankly, the cool young man raised his handsome face, still marked with Yu Tingbai’s handprint.
“Young master, what’s wrong?”
…Who could have guessed that the world they lived in was an infinite-flow instance?
…Who could have guessed that the servant who was unfailingly obedient in public was an evil god in private?

Yu Tingbai was a famously beautiful little menace, the only human NPC in the instance.
All the other “people” in the estate loathed him.
Yet he was born under a lucky star: anyone who came near him could enjoy an incomparable “human” life.
So those creatures hated and despised him, but had no choice except to treat him well.
Because he was allergic to peanuts, his eldest brother, the Blood Owl regent, passed a law forbidding even a single peanut from entering the land.
His second brother, the Sea Demon ship king, named the fleets of the seven continents and four oceans after him.
In front of the royal honor guard, his third brother, the Dullahan knight commander, led a skeletal horse for him.
The estate’s servants were even more attentive, taking meticulous care of him in the hope of changing their own fates.
Whenever Jiang Su moved away from the young master he hated, he would trip, lose money, fall ill, or suffer some other misfortune.
So Yu Tingbai suddenly found himself picking up a gloomy little doll with dot eyes.
Fluffy black hair, diamond-button eyes, and an unhappy little mouth pressed into a line.
It was a one-of-a-kind new toy, and the young master adored it. He kept it by his side every day, took it to sunbathe in the garden, dressed it up, and brought it to bed to cuddle as he slept. He couldn’t bear to put it down.
Sometimes, when the doll was left behind, it would turn up somewhere within Yu Tingbai’s reach.
Yu Tingbai proudly put his hands on his hips. “Little guy, are you obsessed with me too?”
But one night, as he drifted in and out of sleep, he opened his eyes to find the cotton doll’s tiny hands squeezing his neck.
Jiang Su wanted Yu Tingbai’s body, lifeless and no longer breathing.
Yu Tingbai wanted a Jiang Su doll that couldn’t move.
Neither could get what they wanted, and neither would give the other what he wanted.

After learning that he was living in the infinite-flow instance [Nightmare Manor] and that Jiang Su was the evil god, Yu Tingbai reined in his young-master temper and nervously tried to get by under the evil god’s thumb.
What he didn’t know was that Jiang Su was plagued by bad luck whenever he tried to hurt him.
Conditions in an infinite-flow instance were so harsh, yet Yu Tingbai was completely fine. He still had his clothes brought to him and his meals served, and lived in total comfort.
It was so unfair! The players kept muttering about when the NPC young master would finally die.
When they saw Yu Tingbai again, the young master was sitting nervously in the evil god’s arms, while the evil god affectionately called him by his pet name:
“Toby, you don’t have to be so obedient.”
The reason was that Yu Tingbai had been sleep-paralyzed by a ghost while cuddling the cursed doll!
No, wait. The doll itself had climbed into bed.
