To find the fragments of his childhood friend Gu Wangxi's soul, lost in the transmigration system, Jiang Xinghe volunteers to enter the system.
When it comes time to draw a role, Jiang Xinghe gets unlucky and draws the scumbag gong from a face-slapping novel. From then on, he dutifully plays the scumbag gong, tormenting the shou both physically and emotionally, then waiting for the shou to slap him in the face and complete the mission.
As a nonprofessional scumbag gong, Jiang Xinghe finds that he just can't bring himself to torment the shou. After arguing his case with the System, he starts tormenting the shou in his own way.
When the scumbag gong beats the shou, Jiang Xinghe's hand trembles as he holds the whip. At the System's urging, he grits his teeth and shuts his eyes, raising the whip high and bringing it down lightly. A crisp "smack" rings through the air.
The shou lets out a breathless moan, then sneers, "Did you skip dinner today?"
When the scumbag gong abandons the shou, Jiang Xinghe grabs him by the collar and yanks him close, snarling, "Get out! Take this hundred million, the two villas, and that whole garage full of luxury cars, and get out!"
The shou happily takes them. "Sure thing." Then he points toward the door and says, "This is my house. You're the one who should leave."
When the scumbag gong takes revenge on the shou, Jiang Xinghe expressionlessly tosses an unlimited black card in front of him and says in a cold voice, "Spend the rest of your life with this money! You think you can have my heart? No chance."
The shou picks up the black card, grinning from ear to ear. "Money is all I need. Who wants your heart? This black card looks great."
At last, Jiang Xinghe completes all his missions. Before leaving, he holds a grand farewell ceremony. Eyes red, he tells the shou, "I'm leaving."
The shou freezes, disbelieving. "You're leaving me?"
Jiang Xinghe's vision goes black, and he loses consciousness. When he wakes up, his limbs are chained to the bedposts...
[Those years I spent playing the scumbag gong in face-slapping novels really brought me nothing but tears.]
A silly, sweet shou who thinks he's the gong x a sunny-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside, yandere gong. Childhood friends, 1v1.

Looking east across the sea, the evening stretches into endless haze; the mountains rise and fall, the river winds wide and long.
Ten thousand lights ring the city on every side; a single river of stars lies at the heart of the water. - Bai Juyi, Evening View from the River Tower, Inviting a Guest
