Fu Zhou had a dream.
He dreamed that the world he lived in was a melodramatic angst novel. The protagonist was a delicate, lovely little beauty, but also a foolish mute. Bound by a marriage contract, he was forced to marry into the Fu family. From then on, he endured a life of physical and emotional torment, until death finally set him free.
And Fu Zhou was the one who sent Shen Wuxiu to the beds of different men, the beginning of Shen Wuxiu's nightmare.
System: Ding! World instability detected. Host, you need to repair the plotline to prevent the minor world from collapsing!
Fu Zhou, hands tucked in his sleeves: Got it.
I'll heal the protagonist and stop being a scumbag top. Starting now!
After waking up, Fu Zhou's already beautiful face became even more dazzling and gorgeous. Anyone who got close to him couldn't help wanting to possess him and make him theirs.
The night Shen Wuxiu married into the family, the System issued a mission:
[Go possess him and talk dirty to him.]
Fu Zhou leaned over and kissed Shen Wuxiu's eyelashes, falling into a pair of cool, clear eyes.
When Shen Wuxiu's mother insulted him as a bringer of bad luck, the System issued another mission:
[Go slap him twice, insult him, and look down on him.]
Fu Zhou dried the water spilled on Shen Wuxiu and glared at his mother. "Don't touch my husband."
The night he was supposed to send Shen Wuxiu to another man's bed, the System issued a mission:
[Go wash him up and send him to the second and third male leads.]
Fu Zhou shook his head firmly, gently soothing Shen Wuxiu's body as it curled in fear.
Then Fu Zhou himself became the one being offered up. He suddenly realized that the gazes of his old friends, his hated rival, and even the little canary he'd once kept were growing darker and darker.

Shen Wuxiu had been heaven's favored child since birth, a natural-born man of power.
Until his family married Fu Zhou to him.
Fu Zhou was beautiful, his face captivating everyone who saw it. He was the quintessential dangerous beauty. Even if he used his looks to get away with anything, it would be understandable. Yet he was always saying strange things.
The inexplicable kiss on their wedding night, and the way Fu Zhou defended him when Fu Zhou's mother apologized for offending him, were like butterflies flitting across the surface of his heart.
Later, with Fu Zhou held by the nape of his neck, trembling uncontrollably and on the verge of tears, he still stubbornly insisted, "Being turned against doesn't count as breaking the rules for a top. What happens to the male lead doesn't count."
Reader's Guide:
1. He once slept with someone else. The initially weak top becomes a total bottom.
2. The top is a virgin.
3. The bottom is a silly little beauty.
