When the real young master returns, the family favors only Zhong Yan Sheng and sends the real one to a country estate outside the capital. Their parents spoil Zhong Yan Sheng so thoroughly that they turn the real young master into a villain, eventually destroying his family.

According to the timeline, the real young master has already been sent to the country estate outside the capital. There's no time to lose. To change the future, Zhong Yan Sheng keeps going out every few days. Whenever he sees the real young master, he sticks to him and treats him well, following him around all day and calling him “big brother” at every turn. It takes him a while to realize he's found the wrong person. The person he found is even more villainous than the real young master, who's supposed to be the villain. Worse still, on the very day he learns the truth, someone drugs him, and by a strange twist of fate, he ends up in bed with the man. Zhong Yan Sheng is terrified and sneaks away that very night. - When Xiao Nong wakes up, he discovers that his little shadow is gone.

Xiao Nong's expression darkens, and he goes out to hunt him down. The people of the capital discover that a powerful man who spent a long time recuperating outside the city has returned and immediately turned the capital upside down. Word has it he's looking for someone who offended him. When Zhong Yan Sheng hears the news, he curls up at home, too afraid to go out. Even when he has to leave, he wears a veiled hat. - Before his wedding, Prince Jing holds a private banquet and invites Zhong Yan Sheng. Zhong Yan Sheng has been hiding for a long time.

When he opens his eyes, he hears a chime and a voice from the System, giving him a mission: win over the villain and he'll be brought back to life. After failing to win over the great villain Shang Xing Que for the ninth time, Wei Yi Xue throws in the towel. So, when the world resets for the tenth time, Wei Yi Xue devotes himself to cultivation and decides to kill the villain to solve the problem at its source. After fighting Shang Xing Que until the heavens and earth grow dim, both are badly injured and fall into the Abyss. On the verge of death, Wei Yi Xue watches in despair as Shang Xing Que walks slowly toward him, frowning as he looks him over. But the first thing he says is, “Who are you?” Wei Yi Xue's eyes light up! Here's his chance to survive. Taking advantage of Shang Xing Que's apparent amnesia, he comes up with a quick plan and says tearfully, “A Que, I'm your cultivation partner. Don't you remember me?” Shang Xing Que stares at the breathtakingly beautiful, frail, pale man before him, dumbfounded. So he has a cultivation partner? Thanks to his memories of the previous nine lives, Wei Yi Xue knows Shang Xing Que better than Shang Xing Que knows himself. He easily fools the amnesiac Shang Xing Que, who soon accepts that he seems to have a cultivation partner. Wei Yi Xue is badly injured, and his cultivation is nearly gone. Luckily, he once learned a technique that restores his spiritual power and heals his injuries through dual cultivation with another person. Taking advantage of Shang Xing Que's memory loss, Wei Yi Xue maliciously and shamelessly orders him around in the lightless Abyss. He grits his teeth and tricks Shang Xing Que into passionately making love to him, all while figuring out how to escape the Abyss, which is said to be impossible to leave. He also needs to find a way to kill Shang Xing Que once his powers return. But dual cultivation doesn't just improve his own cultivation. It improves Shang Xing Que's too. Wei Yi Xue thinks it over carefully and realizes that killing Shang Xing Que, the original story's great villain, is far too difficult. Through the countless nights and days at the bottom of the Abyss, Wei Yi Xue watches Shang Xing Que's dark eyes grow ever more tender and possessive as they gaze at him. His back aches, and his scalp prickles with dread. When Shang Xing Que is out of his mind, all he wants is to have Wei Yi Xue. But once Shang Xing Que gets his memories back, he'll probably want to pound him into paste! Fortunately, the binding restrictions the System placed on him suddenly disappear, and he can choose to run away. So, once his cultivation has finally recovered and a crack opens in the Abyss, Wei Yi Xue is chatting affectionately with Shang Xing Que about how they'll decorate their cave when they get home one moment, then decisively fleeing the next. Bye-bye! … Shang Xing Que looks down at his empty palm, his expression gradually darkening. - At long last, free of the System's restrictions and no longer forced to win over the cold-blooded and terrifying Shang Xing Que, Wei Yi Xue hides his identity, suppresses his cultivation, and joins a small sect. He takes it easy and lies flat. The sect's disciples aren't very powerful, but they don't compete or cause trouble, and the atmosphere is wonderful. His peaceful days don't last long. An invitation to the Grand Immortal Gathering arrives at the small sect, summoning all the immortal sects to a meeting. To protect a few of his “senior brothers and sisters,” Wei Yi Xue has no choice but to go along. At the Grand Immortal Gathering, a gaze lands directly on him. Wei Yi Xue's scalp tingles. He looks up and sees Immortal Lord Shang raising his cup to him from the high platform. “Welcome, fellow Dao…” Shang Xing Que pauses. “Friend.” … From that day on, a thick, dark gaze is always fixed on him, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows and coiling coldly around him. A somewhat universally adored, quick-witted, lazy, grudge-holding beauty who says whatever comes to mind x a gloomy, unhinged top thinking, Where's my wife? Where's my wife? How did I end up with such a wonderful wife for free? Theme: Treat others with honesty.
