In his previous life, Su Zhe was proud and stubborn.
He had been frail and sickly since childhood, but kept all his pain hidden, pretending to be bright as the sun.
He loved Xie Wei, who had grown up alongside him, and pursued him at all costs. Even when Xie Wei cheated on him, he never doubted that Xie Wei would come to love him.
Only on the brink of death did he learn that the world came from a novel.
And he was nothing more than an insignificant substitute male lead.

Word around town was that the young master of the Su family had changed completely after being fished out of the pond.
He had become calm and cold. He didn't care when a mischievous child ruined his favorite clothes, and he even attended a family gathering while ill. His pale face beneath his suit looked so fragile it seemed he might crumble at any moment.
He had even dumped Xie Wei and immediately started dating the person his family had arranged for him to meet.
This... wasn't right!

Su Zhe had always thought the person chatting with him online was the arranged match who just wanted to marry quickly and had no feelings involved.
But when they finally met in person, he looked at the cold, handsome face, clearly nothing like that of his arranged match, and belonging instead to the novel's villain, and fell into a long silence.
Afterward, Xie Wei, full of regret, asked to get back together. He assumed Su Zhe would rush back to him, but the voice that answered the phone was a deep, unfamiliar man's:
"He's asleep. What do you want?"
Xie Wei: ???

The villain, who usually kept everyone at arm's length, meets a young master eager to get married at first sight. His photos show a proud, fiery young man, but every word he says is cool and distant. No matter how the villain describes himself, the young master is still willing to marry him.
For some reason, this is the first time the villain has wanted to get close to someone. He watches him with an indifferent expression, waiting for him to show his carefree, flamboyant side.
