【Lonely-star daddy with sky-high self-esteem, a brooding man who turns brazen × Optimistic little ray of sunshine, a timid, clueless receiver with rock-bottom self-esteem】
Yu Mu transmigrates into a cannon-fodder male supporting role in a no-romance power fantasy novel, with only two lines in the whole book.
To stay alive, he has to find the male lead, Qin Buyan, a partner.
The male lead has been a doomed loner for ten lifetimes, with few family ties and a fate of dying alone.
Yu Mu: “Matchmaking? Easy. Open my eyes and get to work! Just do it!”
He hears the male lead rarely shows his face and has extremely high-level security.
As a bartender, Yu Mu gets the chance to wait outside a private room. When he runs into the male lead’s secretary, he clings to his leg. “Does Mr. Qin have someone he likes? When does he plan to get married? Is he looking for a matchmaker?”
Qin Buyan, mistaken for his own secretary, stares expressionlessly at that face for a long time. “Either way, I don’t like people like you.”
Qin Buyan is known as the “Living Yama of the Business World.” He dominates the marketplace and strikes fear into everyone’s heart.
That night, a strange person suddenly starts asking everyone what kind of person he likes.
Qin Buyan tells the little bartender he’s a secretary, and the bartender actually believes him.
Qin Buyan: He’s an idiot. I’ll keep him around and see what he’s up to.
The little bartender is determined to find Qin Buyan a partner, and tries every sort of person.
Qin Buyan: ...Mr. Qin doesn’t like people like that.
Yu Mu: You don’t have much dating experience. You don’t know what you’re talking about!

Yu Mu thinks he’s a natural matchmaker. He finds a gorgeous, perfect person and sends them off to Mr. Qin, ready to retire from the job.
The moment he walks in, the chair swivels around. The big-shot secretary is Qin Buyan himself!
Qin Buyan gives Yu Mu a smile that doesn’t reach his eyes and has the person he just picked thrown out. “He can leave. You’re staying.”
The original novel says: This man is vengeful, suspicious, and cautious.
Yu Mu: Can I still make a run for it?
-
Qin Buyan suffers from hypothermia and is unable to have sex.
At first, he keeps Yu Mu around for amusement.
Later, he discovers that holding Yu Mu not only keeps him warm, but gets him aroused.
And later still, Qin Buyan, who cares about nothing but profit: “What job could possibly matter more than Yu Mu? No amount of money could buy him!”
Qin Buyan thinks that after twenty-eight years of being single, he’s finally met his destined partner. Surely they’re in love and will be together forever. But when Yu Mu learns who he really is, he runs away.
