Chen Nianzhi transmigrates into a book.
His task is to keep the villain's corruption level in check and save the story's male lead.
Chen Nianzhi looks at the villain, who will one day wield immense power and use ruthless methods, even torturing the male lead until he is disabled. Right now, the villain is in an orphanage, where a group of children are burying him in the dirt.
He chases the children away, carefully digs the boy out, tenderly wipes the grime from his face, then takes his hand.
Xie Weizhi had always thought his life would be miserable and wretched, spent in darkness with not a glimmer of light. Then he met Chen Nianzhi.
Through countless days and nights, he remembers how kind Chen Nianzhi was to him and wonders if there might be a chance that the other boy likes him, too.
Until one day, his half-brother is targeted after offending someone, and they start a fire. He watches Chen Nianzhi rush in without hesitation, never to come back out.
When Chen Nianzhi wakes up, he discovers that many years have passed.
He searches online and, after learning that both of them are doing well, feels relieved.
But when he remembers the startled look on Xie Weizhi's face as the System told him to save the male lead, he inexplicably doesn't dare go looking for him.
He casually takes a job playing piano in a coffee shop, never expecting Xie Weizhi to recognize him at a glance.
Then, in broad daylight, before everyone's eyes, Xie Weizhi pins him against the piano and kisses him...
