Before transmigrating from ancient times to the modern day, Ji Juntang's routine was to shut himself away, play the qin, read, and practice calligraphy.
Everyone said he was naturally aloof, never realizing that he was actually just painfully shy.
After transmigrating to the modern day, he became the protagonist of a modern melodrama and was completely stunned.
The protagonist's first half of life was like a dream come true: strikingly handsome, famous from a young age, and surrounded by admirers. In the second half, he was turned on by a younger man and reduced to a captive lover.
His character was both an icy beauty and a confirmed bachelor who never gave his pursuers the time of day.
After transmigrating, shy Ji Juntang's daily life went like this:
"Mr. Tang, this Vacheron Constantin is a token of Mr. Wang's appreciation. Please accept it."
"Ding-dong! 999 tulips have been delivered to the company lobby. Please come down and sign for them in person!"
"Teacher Tang, I've booked a table at a private restaurant for tonight. Should I pick you up in this Bugatti Dragon or that Lamborghini?"
Ji Juntang: My social anxiety is acting up. Don't call on me.
But one stormy night, with thunder crashing and darkness all around, he woke up to find a muscular young body beside him.
Gu Xun rubbed his sleepy eyes, looking completely innocent. "Uncle Tang, you know I've been afraid of thunder since I was little."
To maintain his icy, aloof beauty's image, Ji Juntang could only scream in his heart:
[Twenty years old and 189 centimeters tall, and you're afraid of thunder??? Have some shame!!!]

As the uke protagonist of a melodrama, Ji Juntang's first half of life was full of success and splendor, while the second half was a tragic, melodramatic mess.
After he rejected the seme protagonist's advances, the man took revenge. Ji Juntang lost everything and could only spend the rest of his life tied to Gu Xun's side as his kept lover.
After transmigrating into a book, Ji Juntang assessed the situation and decided to start by reforming Gu Xun, turning his life away from the downward spiral it was about to enter.
But when he looked at the boy in front of him, so fresh-faced, innocent, sincere, and sporting a pair of puppy eyes, Ji Juntang had to ask the question on his mind: "Is this really Gu Xun?!"
The legendary Gu Xun, whose cough could make all of City X tremble?!
Could it be that they just have the same name?
Ji Juntang decided to keep observing him, but ended up raising a tiger that would turn on him.
One stormy night, he woke up to find a muscular young body beside him.
Gu Xun rubbed his sleepy eyes, looking completely innocent. "Uncle Tang, you know I've been afraid of thunder since I was little."
Ji Juntang was about to roar, but in the flashing light of the storm, he found himself trapped on the bed.
"Uncle Tang, you know how I feel about you. You're mine, and mine alone. Don't run away. Don't resist."
Ji Juntang was near tears. [The book never said this kid had a split personality!!!]
