After graduating from high school, Xu Yuan insisted he wanted freedom and wanted to become an educated youth sent to the countryside.

His whole family was worried. With their kid's weak, unskilled body, how could he possibly endure the hardships of rural life?

Who could have guessed? After getting a fever and spending time in the hospital, Xu Yuan suddenly came around. He stopped talking about going to the countryside and even found himself a job at a factory.

The neighbors all wondered what had caused such a dramatic change.

Xu Yuan chuckled. "Freedom is precious, but love is even more precious. But for the sake of life, I'll give up both! I'm just a tool character. Getting involved with the male and female leads is a death sentence!"

Content warnings:

1. The story mainly follows the male lead's career and personal growth. He has a love interest, but the original female lead has little screen time.

2. Slice of life, with few over-the-top villains.

3. Prices and other figures in the story have been researched, but customs and prices vary by city, so please don't nitpick.

Theme: Don't be a stepping stone. Live your own life!
