Pei Zhiyan had gone too far with his wild ways abroad and finally caused a major disaster. His family packed him off to a small town to finish his senior year of high school.
The night before school began, he dreamed he was in a novel about a universally adored shou who was put through endless torment.
In the original story, the shou was a stunning beauty with a tragic fate. He had finally escaped his hellish family background and gotten into a prestigious university, only to be targeted by four scum gongs who had been coveting him for ages. After being forced to drop out and enduring countless forms of physical and emotional abuse, he was eventually locked in a basement and wantonly abused day and night.
And the unlucky shou was his new deskmate.
Pei Zhiyan: ?
What a joke. He'd protect his pretty deskmate.
.
Song Lu had never been very lucky.
He had slowly grown used to a life where everything went wrong, dealing with his awful parents every day, fighting teachers who targeted him out of spite, and punching a perverted pursuer in an alley.
Then a transfer student joined his class, and everything began to change.
The transfer student treated him so well, remembering every word he said, sheltering him from every storm and keeping him untouched by the dust. No one was allowed to lay a finger on him, and anyone who tried to make things hard for him met a miserable end.
Song Lu had never felt so at ease. It was as if someone had carried a light and pulled him out of a suffocating lake of brackish water, letting him breathe freely beneath the sun.
He was grateful to his new deskmate and decided to give him a birthday present.
So he asked what he wanted.
Pei Zhiyan had just walked into the classroom and set down a lychee mousse cake for the shou when he looked at Song Lu for a moment and asked, quite seriously, “I have four people I really hate. Will you hate them with me?”
Song Lu: ???

.
Then one day, Song Lu saw Pei Zhiyan pinning one of the people on his list of hated names in an alley behind the hotpot street and beating him up.
He had never seen Pei Zhiyan like that before, cold and vicious, saying, “Like drugging people? Try touching him again.”
It made you want to run.
So Song Lu watched for a moment, walked over, and said, “Hurry up and finish. It's our table's turn.”
.
Song Lu never told Pei Zhiyan that he would never have fallen for the gentle, elegant university professor, the aloof and refined CEO who abstained from romance, the obsessive school bully from the international high school, or the cute mixed-race junior who followed him around calling him big brother.
Because they had all appeared in his dreams countless times
pushing him into hell.
