Blurb:
Jin Ye, the wealthy playboy Jin family heir who spends his days indulging himself, wakes up in a thatched hut. Beneath him is something that can hardly be called a bed, and it digs painfully into his back. His first thought is that he's been kidnapped. His hands and feet are free, so he has to escape now.
He steps outside and finds himself staring at a crowd of people. Strangely, they're all dressed in coarse hemp clothes, in styles that look nothing like anything modern. He looks around again. The place is vast and empty, with only a few houses in sight...
Once he understands the situation, there's only one possible explanation: he's transmigrated. Jin Ye is a committed materialist. Transmigration? What a load of nonsense. He knows this plot: his rich father has spent a fortune building a film set and hired a bunch of extras, all to teach his spoiled son a lesson.
As it happens, Jin Ye just had a falling-out with his father, who threatened to make him regret it. He searches everywhere for any trace proving he's still living in the modern world, but finds nothing.
In the end, faced with the facts, Jin Ye finally accepts that he really has transmigrated. At first he resists, but eventually he decides life here isn't so bad. That's because he meets a pretty young man.
The pretty boy calls himself Han San. He's just come of age. Jin Ye does the math using his limited knowledge of ancient customs and realizes that means he's just turned twenty, a full six years younger than Jin Ye.
He calls him San'er, treats him like a child, protects and defends him at every turn, and cherishes him like his own heart. Jin Ye thinks fate may have played a trick on him, but at least he's found true love. Then one day, a plane flies overhead...
The farce comes to an end, and the lie is exposed. It turns out his father really did arrange everything.
He can forgive the rest, but he can't accept being deceived about his feelings. He's never loved anyone so wholeheartedly before. He can't let it go. He has to win one back.
But the adorable boy from the script turns out to be Han Qian, a leading figure in Dongcheng's business world and its newly appointed top boss. When Jin Ye learns the truth, he trembles, but he's also even more excited. If he can pluck this flower from its lofty perch, he'll finally avenge his humiliation.
Just as Jin Ye thinks he's about to succeed, Han Qian tricks him again. Having fallen for the same person twice, Young Master Jin loses face completely and is heartbroken. He retreats to his old base in Beicheng to live it up. To hell with Han San, to hell with Han Qian. So what if he's good-looking? Beicheng has no shortage of beauties.
Just as Young Master Jin reflects on his mistakes and plans to forget the past and return to having someone on each arm, Han Qian comes "storming" over from Dongcheng. He arrives with such force that Beicheng's business world takes a heavy blow, and everyone is left wailing.
Han Qian announces that he's doing all this because Jin Ye crossed him. Everyone else is suffering because Jin Ye dragged them into it.
With old and new grudges between them, Jin Ye goes to confront him, wanting to know exactly how he offended him. Han Qian sits on the sofa and looks at him coldly. He doesn't answer the question, only says, "If I see you go to that kind of place again, or touch that stuff again, Brother Ye, believe me, I can throw you back into that godforsaken film set and make sure you never get out."
This time, Jin Ye really does tremble. Han Qian is the real piece of work, the troublemaker he brought on himself.
