Fang Yue dies one day, opens his eyes, and discovers that he has transmigrated into a book and is bound to a System that tasks him with saving the male lead.
The System says he can only turn his fate around and survive in this world by winning over the male lead.
The protagonist of the book, Ye Qing, is a pitiful soul with a tragic background, bullied by everyone he meets, but blessed with the looks of a beautiful young man. Fang Yue sees a dirty, pretty child with the same name as him being pelted with stones by a group of children.
That's him, all right!
Fang Yue puts on a tender, devoted act, making himself noticed and raising Ye Qing's affection for him all the way, all so he can win the boy's heart.
When the weather turns cold and the protagonist falls ill, Fang Yue brings him blankets and medicine, tending to him with the utmost care and whispering sweet nothings: "From now on, I'll protect you."
When the protagonist kills someone, his hands covered in blood, Fang Yue timidly steps forward to wipe them clean, smiling as he comforts him: "It's okay. This wasn't your fault."
When the protagonist is surrounded by the cultivation sects, with everyone calling for his death, Fang Yue steps up to protect him, facing them all alone and delivering the immortal line: "Even if the whole world turns against you, I'll stand by your side."
There was no way Fang Yue could leave. He needed to stay alive and cling to this powerful ally.
After countless hardships, Fang Yue finally maxes out the protagonist's affection level. But before he can celebrate, the System suddenly tells him he pursued the wrong person.
The person he has spent years winning over is actually the protagonist's younger brother, Ye Xuanying, a supreme villain whose identity was switched and who was mistaken for the protagonist.
He's cruel, bloodthirsty, and guilty of every evil under the sun.
Fang Yue: "..." I'm screwed.
After realizing what was really going on in the book, Fang Yue makes the decisive choice to run away that very day.
Much later, the prestigious cultivation sects fall into chaos, and this man catches Fang Yue and drags him back. That night, the villain puts him through a "merciless" lecture that lasts until morning.
The next day, Fang Yue wakes up clutching his aching waist and meets a pair of dark eyes. The man leans closer and threatens him: "Run again, and I'll break your legs."
Fang Yue: I want to cry...
A paranoid, possessive, scheming villain gong vs. a sunny shou who just wants to lie flat and survive
