[Arrogant, sharp-tongued bottom] x [Scheming, devoted top (Yao)] // Episodic story

The suona's wail breaks through the Three Realms, echoing the grief of a girl forced into a ghost marriage;

One after another, people vanish during the Moon-Singing Girls' School anniversary celebration, uncovering a secret half a century old;

The harsh beat of a human-skin drum revives the bloody, feudal customs of the past;

A vengeful ghost sealed away in a crowded city square;

Downcast eyes in the red-light district, an eerie shadow in a stilt house. The truth lies hidden behind hysterical despair.

Wen Xichun, an officer in the criminal investigation division, is ordered to investigate the disappearance of a mystery novelist. On the missing person's computer, he finds a trove of unfinished mystery series drafts, along with an idol of an evil four-faced deity enshrined in the bedroom.

Then Wen Xichun discovers that he has undergone Book Transmigration into the novelist's drafts. The only way out is to help solve the cases and write their endings.

The book has also assigned him a top-notch partner, supposedly the most impressive man in the world: Yao Jingrong from the forensic department.

Wen Xichun thinks he looks familiar.

He kind of looks like the four-faced deity in the novelist's bedroom...

Yao Jingrong: "Many lost people have come to me, hoping I could offer them some advice about life. Chun Chun, are you feeling lost?"

Wen Xichun: "Not lost. I could take hundreds of different paths in life."

Yao Jingrong: "Try getting lost. I can generously give you a word of advice."

Wen Xichun: "..."

Yao Jingrong: "My life advice is: love Rongrong."

An Rao is so beautiful that one look is enough to make anyone lose their heart and sense of self.

His beauty is a crime. As punishment, he is transported into a feel-good entertainment-industry novel and becomes the villain's doomed male spouse.

In the original story, the villainous movie emperor is deeply in love with the protagonist and treats the doomed extra, who looks just like the protagonist, as a substitute.

But the extra bullies everyone and makes life miserable for the protagonist's group. In the end, the devoted villain kicks him out, cuts off all his sources of income, and leaves him with no choice but to survive by filming adult movies.

An Rao sees black before his eyes, but is convinced he can still turn things around.

First, he has to stay away from the protagonist's virus-like group.

Second, he has to win over the villain husband and earn his trust, then get a huge divorce settlement and fulfill his grand dream of traveling around the world.

He shows off his legs, waist, and bare shoulders every day, pouts and coos, "Husband, you're so mean," and regularly posts vlogs of his daily life online, working hard to cultivate a delicate, innocent persona.

Because he's just too beautiful, An Rao becomes famous again and again.

Netizens gush: "Rao Rao is unbelievably gorgeous! I'll pay anything to get my Rao Bao on TV!"

An Rao: It's definitely not because they're paying too much. I simply couldn't refuse their generous offer.

When An Rao arrives at the filming location, he is stunned. Aren't those the original protagonists and his cheap husband, all here to appear on the variety show?

According to the plot, the original male lead launches his face-slapping, scum-punishing journey through this very show.

An Rao wants to live. He really wants to live.

He strikes first. When the male lead is about to cut his hand while chopping vegetables, An Rao nicks his own hand and starts crying first.

When the male lead is about to fall into the lake and frame him, An Rao swiftly pushes him back and jumps in himself...

But the next moment, someone pulls him into a strong embrace.

An Rao shudders:

This villain husband's eyes look wrong.

Once he's back on his feet, he shudders again.

Why does the protagonist's love interest look at me like that too?

Chu Guannan is the villain in the novel Return to the Divine Altar. The story casts him as a superstar adored by millions, but the protagonist bottom has already fallen for the protagonist top.

Unable to win his love, he turns evil.

Shen Guannan rarely comes home. Just looking at the person waiting there gives him a headache.

After finishing a three-month film shoot, he returns home in low spirits, only to feel that his substitute wife is acting strangely.

He has gone from being arrogant and domineering to soft-spoken, constantly calling him "Husband."

How had he never noticed before that his wife's waist was so slim, his legs so long, and his skin so white and soft, like tofu?

Later, after Chu Guannan falls in love, he assumes that spending every day and night together has brought them closer. He plans to formally propose, but accidentally overhears An Rao on the phone with someone else:

"Do I like him for his money? I like him for his superstar, rich-second-generation status."

Chu Guannan crushes his glass and turns evil for the second time, just like in the original story. This time, he's determined to drag An Rao into bed and get to the bottom of things.

Chu Guannan pins him down, struggling to hold back his emotions. "Do you like my money, or do you like me?"

An Rao: "Of course I like you for your bright... future."

I'll put up with it for now. Making money is more important.
