Qin Yilin comes from a good family, is handsome, and excels in school. He's every inch a golden boy.
Jiang Yu comes from the very bottom of society. He dropped out of high school and placed among the top eighty contestants on a talent show. He's like a speck of mud Nuwa casually flicked onto the ground.
The two of them should have been worlds apart, with no chance of ever crossing paths. Yet on graduation day, Qin Yilin proposed to Jiang Yu in front of the entire school and the media.
Three months later, their wedding dominated the headlines for half a month, its extravagance leaving everyone in awe.
But fate loves to torment those in love. Just two years after their wedding, Qin Yilin died in an accident. Dressed in black, Jiang Yu fainted from crying several times at the memorial service.
On the third day after her husband's death, Jiang Yu still had swollen, red eyes as he saw off all the mourners. Once the door was shut, he turned around, and the grief on his face vanished in an instant.
He picked up a bottle of red wine and sat down in front of Qin Yilin's memorial tablet.
Pulling out the cork, he poured all the dark red, viscous liquid over the small tablet.
Qin Yilin, now it's my turn to take back everything that should have been mine.
.
In his previous life, Jiang Yu didn't learn the truth until he died of illness by the roadside: he was the real young master, a sacrificial supporting character in a transmigrate-into-a-book novel.
The transmigrator, the fake young master, was the protagonist, enjoying a life of luxury. Meanwhile, Jiang Yu had to go out to work at fourteen, and his family would lecture him for ages if he bought even two steamed buns.
In this life, he deliberately got close to Qin Yilin and carefully planned that accident. Who says throwing a tantrum is the only way to get your inheritance back?
He inherited all of Qin Yilin's estate and enjoyed the care and affection of his in-laws. On the seventh day after Qin Yilin's death, he even lay in the bathtub and put on a porn video.
Just as he was getting into it, a pair of invisible hands suddenly clamped around his throat.
A cold voice whispered in his ear, "Darling, is this how you remember me?"
.
Jiang Yu suspected that something had latched onto him. To save himself, he hurriedly signed up for a survival reality show livestreamed around the clock.
The contestants were all has-beens, and he was even more notorious than the rest: he'd married into a rich family while his career was on the rise, and the whole internet had cursed him for it.
Everyone was waiting for the obscure celebrity to make a fool of himself. Instead, the Ghost King chasing after him suddenly exploded, while the bosses of the other stages were so terrified that they wept blood.
They also saw him in an empty room, as if something had pinned him down. His face suddenly flushed, and he gritted his teeth, letting out a bashful sigh.
[Happy ending]
