Mu Chi transmigrates into the danmei novel he wrote, becoming the spoiled, troublemaking fake young master and cannon fodder.
The fake young master frames and smears the real young master at every turn, until the now-villainous real young master strikes back and gives him a miserable end.
Mu Chi: "So my 'own son' is going to kill me?"
Luckily, he arrives before the real young master turns evil. To stay alive, Mu Chi decides to max out the other's affection for him.
When they're kidnapped, he rushes out as the kidnappers are about to assault the real young master, trying to play the hero: "Take me instead! I'm a delicate little flower, ready to lie flat. He's a promiscuous, sickly, ugly frog."
But the very next second, he watches the supposedly "weak" real young master kick a kidnapper several meters away.
Mu Chi: "..."
He dies of embarrassment on the spot. Why is the guy nothing like the character he wrote?
Since childhood, Jiang Chao has been told that he was born lowly, fit only to be an ant in the darkness. He has been saddled with countless burdens, and no one has ever asked if he was tired. They only cared about results.
Then Mu Chi appears like a beam of light, illuminating not only his world but his heart, and showing him that life can actually be beautiful.
So the brooding, ruthless big shot puts on an apron and starts making soup for the innocent Mu Chi.
His fearsome underlings: "..."
This is just ridiculous.
Then one day, Jiang Chao discovers that Mu Chi has been posting danmei novels online. Not only do the characters share their names, but it's also a harem story, with ships from beginning to end.
Jiang Chao: "This is your idea of a beautiful world?"
Mu Chi: "I-isn't it beautiful?"
That night, Jiang Chao sinks his teeth into Mu Chi as he tries to escape. "So much for your beautiful world, my dear young master."
A goofy, lewd, dramatic bottom on the outside and a brooding, virtuous top beneath the surface. One-on-one, happy ending.
Theme: Everyone is born equal, as long as they head toward the light.
