Absolute Devotion, Relative Fairness

Pei Ran died and transmigrated into the abused bottom of an old-school, over-the-top, melodramatic rich-family romance featuring a scumbag top and a miserable bottom. The System told him that if he followed the script to the letter, endured all the abuse, and maxed out the scumbag top's affection meter, the System would reward him with a car, a house, and 500 million, so he could live comfortably in this world. The rules also said that once the scumbag top's affection meter was full, it wouldn't go down. Pei Ran played along and endured physical and emotional abuse for who knew how long. At last, he saw the progress bar above the scumbag top's head fill up. Overnight, everyone realized that Pei Ran no longer loved Lu Yicheng. Not only had he stopped loving him, but he also paid Lu Yicheng back for every cruel thing he'd done to him. * On a typhoon night, Pei Ran said he wanted wontons from a place on the west side of town. Lu Yicheng rushed to buy them and brought them to Pei Ran's door, where he ran into the famous actor Song Yiyao. Pei Ran had just showered, his hair still wet. He smiled brightly at Lu Yicheng. "What a coincidence. This scene is just like last year, when you said you had a stomachache. I happily made chicken soup and brought it all the way over, only to wait outside until dawn. The soup had gone completely cold." The pain left Lu Yicheng struggling to breathe. He didn't even know how he managed to force a smile as he handed over the wontons and said softly, "They're still warm." * Super melodramatic / angsty / groveling-after-the-breakup / not a wish-fulfillment story / both leads are crazy / probably very outrageous · Theme: Treasure what you have while you have it, and cherish it once it's gone.
