Qiu Ci had been fair-skinned and adorable since childhood, spoiled by his parents and protected by his older brother as he grew up. He was innocent and loved to act cute.
But just before the Qiu family was about to return to China to develop their business, Qiu Ci had a dream.
He dreamed he was the vicious cannon fodder in a danmei novel where readers bet on the love interests: the four powerful men’s cherished first love. After he went abroad, the four men found the protagonist, a shou, to serve as his replacement.
The replacement was very clear-headed and only cared about making money. After succeeding, he walked away without a backward glance.
After he returned to China, the four powerful men pursued him passionately, tormenting the replacement both physically and emotionally.
Then, after realizing who their true love was, they took revenge on the replacement by turning around and trampling their former cherished first love underfoot, proving their sincerity.
After waking up, Qiu Ci’s mind was full of question marks. ???
So what had he and that replacement done wrong to deserve being relentlessly tormented one after another?
His plane ticket back to China was already booked. Qiu Ci clenched his little fists.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. He knew he had been spoiled rotten and was weak and useless. Meanwhile, the replacement had managed to make a fortune under the thumb of four powerful men...
Qiu Ci unilaterally decided that the two of them were already best friends!!!

After returning to China, Qiu Ci met his replacement for the first time. The man before him was 1.8 meters tall, with a sharp gaze and an imposing presence, and not the slightest resemblance to him. This was his replacement???
With some trepidation, Qiu Ci sidled up to him. “I think we’re destined to be best friends. How about I come stay at your place?”
Xie Xinghe looked down at the person who barely came up to his chin. Thinking of the four mad dogs making headlines in their circle lately, he replied meaningfully, “Sure. My place has a little extra room.”
The four powerful gong leads: “???”
Later, with his eyes red and himself pinned beneath someone, Qiu Ci finally understood. The dream hadn’t been entirely accurate, and that was fatal. How was this a replacement? He was clearly the chosen one blessed by fate!!!
