A substitute top who’s good at everything but wants to laze around (Rong Bai) x a beloved who excels at his career but is hopeless at everyday tasks (Xi Yu)

Rong Bai was a small-time hoodlum on a fringe planet, scraping by on government assistance.

Because he looked a little like the CEO’s beloved, the CEO took him home, and he began living the extravagant life of a substitute.

But he hadn’t enjoyed the good life for long when the CEO was willing to go bankrupt just to bail his beloved out of prison!

How could that be allowed?

Rong Bai rolled up his sleeves. "How can my meal ticket just disappear? You want to rescue your beloved? I’ll do it!"

Who knew that the beloved he rescued would turn around and wipe out the CEO’s whole family?

Rong Bai: ...???

[Self-pairing narcissistic romance]

Probably a pervert? top (Jing Zhizhu) x a lonely, love-starved bottom (Chu Yizhou)

Jing Zhizhu ascended to immortality and underwent a tribulation. He opened and closed his eyes.

Bad news: He failed his tribulation.

Good news: He didn’t die.

After failing his tribulation, he discovered that his world was a book, and he was its protagonist.

The protagonist had a broken family, a difficult life, and a resilient spirit. In the end, he ascended to immortality as the foremost cultivator of the righteous path, becoming the first person in ten thousand years to do so.

But Jing Zhizhu had a broken family, a difficult life, and a demonic nature. He tried to ascend as the foremost cultivator of the demonic path, failed his tribulation, returned to a thousand years earlier, and even turned into a cat.

Jing Zhizhu: (#`^?)/

Good news: He doesn’t have to live through that messed-up life all over again.

Bad news: He has to guide his younger self through it, and make sure he doesn’t go astray like he did.

Jing Zhizhu: Sounds good :D

At first: I’ve been through the rain, so I’m going to tear up all your umbrellas!

Later: Huh? Huh! Why is he kissing me?

The young man both hated him and depended on him in such a pitiful way. It was simply... beautiful!

Chu Yizhou’s life was short, and every part of it was bitter.

When he met Jing Zhizhu, he was in a miserable state, and their time together was no less miserable.

Taking advantage of the fact that the other man couldn’t see him, he crossed the line little by little, kissing the lips he had long desired, only to be cruelly shoved into the abyss by the young man.

He said, "I’m very sorry," without a trace of remorse.

Deep in the abyss, where no one could see, the other man wrapped his arms around Chu Yizhou’s waist, whispering tenderly against him again and again.

Theme: Press forward through hardship, face adversity hand in hand, and keep your heart turned toward the light. In the end, you will find it.
