Blurb:
Everyone in the young masters' circle of E City knows Gu Chong and Rong Yuntang are mortal enemies. Ever since they first met as children, they have disliked each other. Whenever they meet, sparks are sure to fly.
Yet the two are like opposite ends of a magnet. Wherever one appears, the other is bound to show up too. Neither is willing to give way.
That is, until one of them dies in a car accident, and the other goes mad.
Gu Chong wakes from a coma to find something called the "Plot Correction System" in his mind.
The System tells him that the world he's in is a novel combining fake and real young masters, coercive love, and tragic romance, a censored, male-male romance novel. It tells the story of the protagonist, who is thrown out of his home overnight and loses his career, then gets betrayed by the person he loves, before being forced into love by various powerful men.
Because the plot has gone seriously off course, Gu Chong, who died young in the original world, has been brought in to correct it. Once the plot is over, the System will help him come back to life as a reward.
Looking at the protagonist's name in the files, Gu Chong: "..."
Gu Chong: "Are you sure the protagonist's name is right?"
System: "Is something wrong?"
Coercive love and tragic romance... How could any of that have anything to do with Rong Yuntang?
Just thinking of the beautiful man's vindictive nature, as he remembered it, made Gu Chong feel that whatever the censored words stood for must involve red pixels.
Sure, melodramatic censored romance novels can make your teeth ache and your scalp tingle, but if the protagonist is your mortal enemy...
It's hard not to feel a little tender toward him.
For the sake of coming back to life / getting a front-row seat to the spectacle, Gu Chong and the System reached an understanding.
"So who am I now?"
System: [You are the person protagonist Rong Yuntang loves.]
Gu Chong: ???
System: [Oh, right. You're also a substitute.]
Gu Chong asked, puzzled: "A substitute for whom?"
[Gu Chong.]
Gu Chong: ?!!!

1. The pairing is set in stone, absolutely set in stone: two-way pining enemies-to-lovers sweethearts, Gu Chong x Rong Yuntang.
2. It could also be called The Soft Life I Get to Live Off My Mortal Enemy's Wife.
3. Cool and aloof, beautiful glass-like bottom x handsome, cool, foul-mouthed, flirtatious, loud-mouthed straight man top.
4. This is a lighthearted diversion. Please don't give me plot advice.
Theme: Loving someone is like tending flowers. Loving your mortal enemy is like tending a giant, showy flower.
