Ye Tingzhi is pulled into a romance game by a System. To get back home, he has to win over three villain characters.
Villain Number One: Fu Guanxue, a prince regent who seems noble and refined but is actually ruthless and unpredictable.
Ye Tingzhi's role: the handsome, dim-witted, spendthrift son of the prince regent's sworn enemy, the heir to the Marquis of Zhenbei.
“Uncle, why are you blushing?” Ye Tingzhi asks with a smile, holding the powerful prince regent in his arms.
He holds the stars in his arms and falls in love.
Villain Number Two: Yue Wenchao, leader of the martial arts alliance and the greatest swordsman under heaven. He seems clear-eyed and gentle, championing justice, but inside he's dark and intensely controlling.
Ye Tingzhi's role: a meek, spineless brother-in-law who seeks refuge with his ex-husband's younger brother.
Ye Tingzhi's voice trembles. “What are you going to do?”
Yue Wenchao grips Ye Tingzhi by the neck, his smile deepening. His voice is cold and slick as a snake, sliding across Ye Tingzhi's Adam's apple. “You still don't understand how I feel about you?”
From the abyss, he saw a glimmer of light and coveted it. How could he ever let it go?
Villain Number Three: Zhao Jingyuan, a dashing young general who cares nothing for romance and only wants to gallop freely along the frontier. In truth, he's a madman.
Ye Tingzhi's role: a proud, brilliant general from an enemy nation, taken prisoner.
“Little General, are you going to execute me?” Ye Tingzhi teases.
Zhao Jingyuan hooks an arm around the enemy general's neck and kisses him fiercely, his eyes blazing. “You know I can't bring myself to.”
Ye Tingzhi is his most glorious trophy of war.
All three villains live in the same world, so Ye Tingzhi has his hands full, especially when the three of them sometimes end up together. At last, he completes all three routes and waits to leave.
“Congratulations, Host, you've completed the mission. Returning to the real world for one second... Return successful. Have a pleasant life, and please remember to give us a five-star review.”
Ye Tingzhi: “???” You call this doing your job?
“If you want a five-star review, I'll wring your head off!”

Fu Guanxue murmurs, “My husband is dead.”
Yue Wenchao sighs. “My brother-in-law is dead.”
Zhao Jingyuan says mournfully, “My confidant is dead.”
Then one day, their husband, brother-in-law, and confidant comes back from the dead.
Could they really all be the same person???
Ye Tingzhi: “...Let me explain.”
