After Ning Feiyi died, he was bound to a System and transmigrated into a book's world. To come back to life, he had to win over the protagonist of that world. Once he reached 100% affection, he could return to his original world.
He was strikingly handsome, and had been a moderately famous C-list actor in his original world. He figured winning over Gong Tianwei wouldn't be hard.
But this was a world of "equality between women and men."
And Gong Tianwei was a woman who practiced female-led love.
Ning Feiyi didn't really understand what that meant. After the System explained it in detail, he confidently declared that he could use his charm to lead her onto the "right path."
But he got stuck at the first step.
He had no way to meet her.
Gong Tianwei was the undisputed protagonist of this world, a woman of immense power and status. Forget leading her onto the right path: even meeting her once was harder than reaching the heavens.
Lovers flocked around her, and the gossip columns alone had reported three new partners in five months. When Ning Feiyi finally found a chance to get close to her, he felt his plan was about to succeed. Gong Tianwei was indeed very interested in his face.
He was pleased with himself. He played hard to get. Before Gong Tianwei ran out of patience, he took the room key card and went to her hotel suite.
Then Gong Tianwei found out what he was planning and sent him away.

After all that effort, Ning Feiyi finally managed to "swallow his pride" and get into Gong Tianwei's bed. He thought to himself that everything was worth it if it meant he could go home.
But Gong Tianwei really was a very captivating person. She held a high position and wielded tremendous power, treated him with warmth and consideration, and never skimped on providing him with resources.
Ning Feiyi thought it was only natural to fall in love with her. He turned off the affection display and devoted himself wholeheartedly to their relationship.
Much later, when he was certain that he and Gong Tianwei loved each other deeply and decided to give up on returning to his original world, he turned the affection display back on.
It showed 60%.
Core theme: Equality between women and men means equality for everyone.
