Gu Luozhen is the scumbag male lead in a classic, melodramatic "chase your wife to the crematorium" story. For years, he's kept a beloved woman in his heart, but she's always been out of reach.
But as the story's scumbag male lead, just one month after his beloved leaves the country, Gu Luozhen is already earnestly planning how to woo Xie Min, a pure-hearted high school boy who looks seven-tenths like her.
After going through countless hardships to finally win over the unfortunate, pure-hearted school heartthrob, Gu Luozhen takes him home that very night, planning to explore the pleasures of life together.
But when Gu Luozhen pins the delicious school heartthrob against the wall and kisses him, he is so confused and lovesick from drinking fake liquor that he calls him by his beloved's name.
The usually cool and gentle school heartthrob's face darkens at once. He narrows his eyes, pushes Gu Luozhen away, and asks, "Gu Luozhen, whose name are you calling?"
But Gu Luozhen has the audacity to gaze at Xie Min with a hoarse voice and cling to him again. "Uncle, I like you so much..."
This time, Xie Min hears him perfectly clearly, and his face turns completely pale.

The next morning.
Gu Luozhen wakes up in his room and finds his pure-hearted substitute sitting by the bed, staring coldly at him with dark circles under his eyes.
Seeing that face puts Gu Luozhen in an excellent mood. He immediately leans in for a kiss and says, "Baby."
The room spins. He realizes he has been pinned to the bed by a man with a vicious expression.
"Gu Luozhen, care to explain who this 'Uncle' is?"
"And who's 'Baby'?"
Gu Luozhen is just about to give a wicked smile and start tormenting this pure-hearted school heartthrob, body and soul, when he hears: [Apologies.

In fact, the character you are playing is a cannon-fodder character who bullies the villain, and your mission is to reform the villain, Xie Min... and earn his favor.]
[Become the only light in his heart.]
