Xiao Junyan was bedridden for ten years. When he woke up, he had transmigrated into the spoiled, doomed side character Xiao Jingyan in a political intrigue novel. Xiao Jingyan is infatuated with his classmate at the Imperial Academy, Gu Zhenzhou, the hostage prince of the Jin Kingdom. He goes from an arrogant, domineering playboy to a frail, love-addled fool, and eventually meets a tragic end.
Xiao Junyan flings the plot aside. "What could be better than eating, drinking, and having fun? I'm going to be the most dazzling firework in Xuanjing!"
System: He's the biggest villain in this novel. He'll wipe out your whole family in the end, you included.
The bottom (thinking): Then I need to live it up while I can, and run away as soon as I'm done.
System: ...There's no saving you. I'm logging off. Call me when it's time to collect the body.

One day, the number-one playboy of Xuanjing, the young heir Xiao Jingyan, wakes up after falling into a lake and behaves completely out of character. He no longer spends all day trailing after Gu Zhenzhou, heir to the Jin Kingdom. Instead, he eats, drinks, has fun, races horses, and walks his dogs even more than before.
To sneak out of the Imperial Academy and skip class, Xiao Jingyan invents a cloud ladder.
The young general of the Duke of Zhenguo's household: ! Wouldn't it be wonderful for laying siege to a city!
To watch the sunrise from the summit of Taihu Peak, Xiao Jingyan builds a glider.
The Crown Prince: Such ingenuity! Junyan truly is a genius!
He goes to a teahouse to listen to music and happens upon the Second Prince being caught in a honey trap. As it happens, he gets him out of it.
The young general of the Duke of Zhenguo's household, the Crown Prince, the Second, Third, Fifth, and Seventh Princes... A whole crowd of the Great Xuan Dynasty's future pillars of state:
"Junyan, I'd like to invite you to be my study companion. What do you say?"
Xiao Jingyan: Thanks, but no thanks. There's no way I'm studying.

As the heir to the Jin Kingdom, Gu Zhenzhou was sent to Great Xuan as a hostage when he was young because his mother was of low birth. After ten years in Xuanjing, he has carefully maneuvered his way through court, spending every night on the pleasure boats of Taihu Lake. He's a charming, carefree rake, as everyone in Xuanjing knows.
Yet, in his eyes, the living and the beautiful are no different from the dead.
Until one day, that person, dressed in red and riding with a whip, suddenly blazes into his heart like a ball of fire.

Xiao Jingyan has had his fill of fun. He plans to make sure his family escapes its extermination, then run away.
But he never gets to leave. His family isn't wiped out, either, but Gu Zhenzhou ties him up and takes him back to the Jin Kingdom.
Gu Zhenzhou: "You stirred up the Crown Prince, then the heir to the Prince of Zhennan. Every young lord in Xuanjing, one after another, you've managed to get involved with them all."
His eyes darken, and he gives a cold laugh. "Didn't you say you had feelings for me? Why haven't you tried to stir me up?"
Staring at his former classmate, who has him pinned to the bed with bloodshot eyes, Xiao Jingyan is baffled:
Wait, when did I become a playboy?
How come I don't know about this?
Wasn't I just a doomed playboy side character?
"Um, can you get up first? We can talk this over slowly..."
The System, which logged on at the appointed time to collect the body: ?? Who can tell me what happened while I was offline?!
☆ A cheeky, carefree bottom with no real strengths except being great at "having fun" VS a top who's a false rake but truly cold, ruthless, obsessive, and unhinged
