When Li Ying was five, he first met Li Mu on a cold street. Li Mu was dressed in rags.
They grew up together. Li Mu became Li Ying’s trusted subordinate and the one who held his heart, his moonlight.
Li Ying used to believe that anyone might betray him, except Li Mu.
Later, he accidentally drowned and had a dream.
In the dream, he lived through his entire life and learned that this world was nothing but a novel: a danmei romance about a sickly beauty being pampered by a domineering CEO.
In the story, he was a villain, a lovesick dog who did everything to win the main seme’s love.
In the end, the main seme ruined his family. With no way to take revenge, he threw himself into the river. He could hardly have made a greater fool of himself.
From beginning to end, he was only Option E, Plan B... a substitute for the sickly beauty.
And the main seme of the novel was Li Mu, his childhood sweetheart and moonlight.
After learning the truth, Li Ying immediately decided to cut ties and focus on his career. The first thing he had to do was get the main seme out of his life.
But after Li Ying abandoned his childhood friend, his usually gentle and refined moonlight only grew more and more strange.

The Li family of the capital and the Mu clan had been bitter enemies for generations.
At a banquet celebrating his return to the Mu family, Li Mu, now the heir to the Mu clan, grabbed Li Ying by the wrist and shoved him hard into a corner.
He looked every bit the refined young master, but his eyes were dark and brooding. His pallor gave him a sickly air, while his expression held an indescribable obsession and madness.
“Young Master, why don’t you want me anymore?”
“Since you picked me up and brought me home, you should take responsibility for me to the end.”
Li Ying: ?
Why come to me and go mad instead of pampering your sickly beauty?
How is this going in a different direction from what I expected?!
Scheming, jealous, beautiful, strong, and tragic seme x beautiful young master who weaponizes his looks, equally matched
Reading guide:
- The author let loose with this one. The logic is Schrödinger’s cat, but I absolutely won’t abandon it, so read with confidence.
- A new-concept sweet treat, with hardly any angst.
- Same-sex marriage is legal in this setting.
- Lots of business-related details and assorted other worldbuilding elements are made up by the author. (Honestly, hands on hips, then running away under cover of a pot lid...)
- The seme wasn’t sent back after the uke’s family took him in. He was raised there for years, and there’s a reason for it. You’ll find out later! (Raises the pot lid and lets out a howl, then puts it back on and scurries off.)

Also known as The Gloomy Outcast and His Reborn Rival Find Their Happy Ending
Bai Yuanmo used to think he had the world’s kindest and most loving fiance, until his archenemy and romantic rival snapped him out of it on the day of their engagement banquet.
It turned out he wasn’t from this world. He had transmigrated into a reverse-harem novel as a gloomy, universally disliked cannon-fodder character, and the fiance he thought truly loved him was Jiang Chen, the novel’s beloved protagonist.
A business magnate would spend a fortune on him, a newly crowned Best Actor was infatuated with him, and countless heartthrobs and industry elites fell at his feet.
Bai Yuanmo, on the other hand, was just an ordinary fish in his pond.
According to the plot, after their marriage, Bai Yuanmo would run around securing resources for Jiang Chen. In the end, he would die in a car accident, and Jiang Chen would immediately jump into his own pond, using Bai Yuanmo’s money to flirt with other men.
Bai Yuanmo: What the hell? I’m the sucker here?
Once he learned the plot, he made a clean getaway. With the Bai family’s money, he pursued his dreams while living a carefree life: he founded a professional film and entertainment investment company to support his ambitions and promote Chinese culture, while enjoying the company of both cats and dogs.
Until one day, that annoying former rival specifically requested a marriage alliance with him. Under pressure, his family actually agreed.
Whatever. They’ll get divorced sooner or later.
So Bai Yuanmo continued living the carefree life after getting married.
But one day, he realized this man seemed different from before.
What’s more, he discovered that all the fish in his ex-boyfriend Jiang Chen’s pond were coming to him and trying to curry favor!
Why weren’t they staying in the pond? What were they doing coming to him?
What?
The playboy’s stock market had crashed!
*
When the fish in Jiang Chen’s pond learned that he and Bai Yuanmo had broken off their engagement, they celebrated across the land. After all, to Jiang Chen, Bai Yuanmo was a speck of dust stuck to a precious pearl. Now the blemish had finally been thrown away!
But they soon realized that without Bai Yuanmo and the power of the Bai family, Jiang Chen revealed his true nature: lazy, materialistic, and vain, like a beautiful but useless ornament.
By contrast, Bai Yuanmo, now free of Jiang Chen, was like a precious pearl, smart, clever, well-read, and kind.
Suitors: We swam into the wrong pond!
By the time they came to their senses and tried to get close to Bai Yuanmo, they discovered that this treasure had already been claimed by a dragon.
The “dragon” looked at the people who had once been cold and cruel to Bai Yuanmo and gave them an arrogant, wicked smile.
“He’s mine. You don’t stand a chance.”

Hahaha! Not only did your wife fall into the trap, she fell deeply into it! Flying jealousy can blind people's eyes, la la la la
Ah! I feel so sorry for Li Wu! Some people are like this. They like to chase the stars far away in the sky. They don't know the blessings when they are in the midst of blessings. Only when they are lost, they regret it.
Cause and effect will pay off - just like you ignored me yesterday, then when you regret it in the future, no one will be waiting for you. Not everyone will always be there waiting to come back! I wish my little cousin gets better and better!
It's Yun Yifei!? Yes, yes!?
