Xue Qingyun accidentally found himself inside a melodramatic danmei novel.
The original character had not only run away from his marriage to Luo Zhiyu, a business magnate who had no understanding of love, but had also repeatedly used vicious schemes to frame the protagonist shou in a bid to win the protagonist gong. In the end, after the protagonist gong squeezed every last bit of value out of him, he met a tragic end.
When Xue Qingyun arrived, he was at a Hongmen banquet arranged by the protagonist gong and shou for his sake.
To change his fate, Xue Qingyun decisively changed the plot and turned to throw himself into the arms of Luo Zhiyu, the powerful magnate he was supposed to marry.
The handsome, cold man lowered his eyes, and a ripple stirred in his usually icy, unreadable gaze.
The protagonist gong, who had been waiting for him to walk into the trap: ???
Xue Qingyun: Sorry, my affections have shifted.

Luo Zhiyu had everything going for him, except that he was like a cold robot, clueless about love and living in unbearable misery, like a walking corpse.
After searching everywhere for a famous doctor to no avail, he received advice from an expert: he was missing one medicinal ingredient. Once it arrived, his illness would naturally be cured.
At that banquet, a tipsy young man stumbled and fell into his arms, warm and soft. Luo Zhiyu knew he had found the missing ingredient.
Well, Luo Zhiyu gave a cold smile. An ingredient was just an ingredient.
Only later did he realize that the ingredient had become an addiction, and that he could no longer live without the person in his arms.

Everyone noticed that the young master of the Xue family had changed. He no longer indulged in wine and women or acted spineless and useless. He no longer clung to the protagonist gong with no self-respect, and he couldn't care less even when the other man came crawling to his feet.
On top of that, he had readily agreed to the marriage alliance between the Xue and Luo families.
What's so bad about being a medicinal ingredient? He's rich, handsome, and has no feelings. He gets to marry into a wealthy family and keep out of the other man's way. Perfect!
But why had nobody told him that being a medicinal ingredient meant keeping the patient company at meals and chatting with him, as well as sleeping with him?
And on top of that, he had to be forced into every sort of embarrassing word and action to stir up the patient's emotions?
Xue Qingyun: QAQ
One day, after being bullied until his eyes were red and wet and his voice trembled, Xue Qingyun asked, "I'm just your medicinal ingredient. Now that you're cured, surely we can get divorced?"
The noble, handsome, and dangerous man lowered his eyes and backed him into the corner of the bed. In a husky voice, he said, "No. I won't allow it!"
You are my addiction, the one who healed the endless winter in my heart.
A cold, impassive gong before recovery, a possessive, scheming, jealous one afterward
A stunningly beautiful shou who only wanted to be a medicinal ingredient and earn money, but ended up completely devoured
