Wen Zhiyi broke up with his boyfriend of three years. He was the one who called it off.
Wen Zhiyi's boyfriend, or more accurately, his ex-boyfriend, was a domineering CEO.
There was no melodramatic stand-in between them, no childhood friend constantly coveting the CEO, and no wicked CEO's mother trying to break them up.
All they had between them was money and work.
Their interactions included, but were not limited to, the following:
Lou: Babe, want to go out for dinner tonight?
...Half a day later
Wen: ...Sorry, I have to work late tonight.
Lou: *sob sob*
Lou [Transfer: 21 yuan]
Lou: Babe, get yourself something nice to eat.
Or:
Wen: Are you free tonight?
...Half an hour later
Lou: Sorry, babe, I'm out of town on business...
Wen: All right. Stay safe.
Lou: [Transfer: 520 yuan]
Lou: Babe, get some rest.
No matter how passionate a relationship is, after three years of this, it will eventually grow dull.
Until Wen Zhiyi saw Lou Shan claiming to be in a meeting while laughing and chatting with someone else at a cafe.
When asked why, Lou Shan could only stammer.
That night, Wen Zhiyi tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. As he lay in the dark, one word became clear to him: break up.
A few days later, his ex-boyfriend messaged him: “I'm carrying your baby. You can't use me and then dump me.”
He even attached a photo of a slightly swollen belly.
The moment Wen Zhiyi read the message, he felt his whole worldview crumble.
First of all, the implied meaning of “ex-boyfriend” was that the other person was a man.
Second, he himself was the one on the bottom.
A clingy, nurturing top with a damaged brain VS a bottom everyone thinks comes from a poor family, though he's actually quite well-off.
[Quick Transmigration Paused. I'll Reload First]
Xie Yuan was inexplicably bound to a System. The System told him he had to become the main character's hapless supporting character, accompany the protagonist through the entire story, and only then would he be able to go home.
System: A golden finger means this: when the protagonist runs out of money, you give him some; when he's injured, you take the hit for him; when he shows off, you cheer him on; and in the end, ask for nothing in return and retire in the mountains.
Xie Yuan: (sharpening his knife, ready to go after the protagonist) Don't worry. I always win people over with virtue.
System: Stop! If the protagonist reaches a bad ending, you'll keep reloading!

Arc One: [The Demon Lord Goes Crazy Too]
The protagonist, who had initially awakened after going mad from cultivating, opened his eyes and saw Xie Yuan, whose eyes sparkled like stars. In a voice as clear as a mountain spring, the young man told him to call him “Daddy.”
Arc Two: [The Best Actress Goes Crazy Too]
A disheartened actress was lost in a daze when a pitiful little puppy rescued her. The young man looked at her pleadingly, then counted on his fingers: “Benefactor, I can tell your fortune. That man is destined to bring you bad luck!”
Arc Three: [The Top Student Goes Crazy Too]
One day, the protagonist was pinned in a corner by a jealous school bully, who had an arm around his waist. Holding a bag of snacks, Xie Yuan squatted nearby and declared loudly, “The wise don't fall in love. The hapless repeat their mistakes. You're going all the way to a doctorate, then building a beautiful homeland.”
Theme: Emotional care is just as important as material satisfaction.
