Su Yeg'e transmigrates into a book, landing in a melodramatic revenge story about a man reborn.
The protagonist is the real young master, lost for decades before finally being found. But after the fake young master frames him, he meets a tragic end, dying with resentment.
As his last breath leaves him, the real young master is reborn five years in the past, on the very day he returns to the Su family.
That is also the day the fake young master sets him up, turning the real young master into the target of the entire Su family's hatred and beginning five years of oppression and scheming against him.
Armed with knowledge of the story, the reborn real young master gradually clears every obstacle and rises to the top.
The fake young master provokes him again and again, only to fail each time. He becomes a stepping-stone on the protagonist's path to success, rejected by everyone before making a miserable exit.
The person Su Yeg'e transmigrates into is that very fake young master, who has taken self-destruction to a whole new level.
And he arrives on the very day the protagonist is reborn, when the protagonist hates him most and is most eager to take revenge.
Su Yeg'e: "..."
What can he do?
Obviously, follow his big brother around, help him deal with his enemies, and warm his bed while he sleeps.
-
To survive, Su Yeg'e decides to rip up the script.
First, he has to become the protagonist's brother.
When the protagonist is humiliated by the nanny, he steps in to protect him and stake his claim.
When the protagonist is framed, he exposes the plot and slaps the lackeys in the face.
When the protagonist is ambushed by the villain, he risks his life to protect him.
Surely all that effort will move the protagonist, right?
Who knew that one day the protagonist would suddenly pin him to the bed and ask with tender affection, "Do you like me?"
Su Yeg'e: "..."
I've moved him, all right. A little too much.
After being reborn, Sheng Ninghe is ready to settle old scores.
This time, he absolutely won't suffer as he did in his previous life or be thrown out of the house.
Especially that fake young master: he will trample him underfoot and make sure he never gets back up.
So.
When the fake young master stands up for him, he watches coldly.
When the fake young master exposes a scheme, he mocks him mercilessly.
But when the fake young master risks his life to protect him, he realizes things are starting to feel wrong.
The fake young master seems... to like him.
Sheng Ninghe is a calculating man, a leading tycoon in the business world.
Rumor has it that he is ruthless, decisive, and volatile.
Everyone keeps their distance.
Until one day, at a banquet, they see the fake young master who took everything from him sitting by his side.
The fake young master lowers his eyes, his ears tinged red, and says nothing.
Everyone: "It's over. The fake young master is in for it today."
They all wait for Sheng Ninghe to order the fake young master around and treat him with icy disdain.
But instead, the fake young master stands up with a cold expression, his face red to the neck. "Sheng Ninghe, I'm leaving first."
He dares to speak to Sheng Ninghe like that?
Everyone braces for Sheng Ninghe to lose his temper, hurriedly retreating to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
But Sheng Ninghe suddenly stands and strides over to the fake young master, nudging his shoulder with his own. The fake young master pushes him away.
Everyone: "..."
Who said Sheng Ninghe and the fake young master were at each other's throats?
Theme: Strive for improvement.
