Xin Yuliang was the shining star of the fame game, an outstanding overachiever of the new era. He kept pushing himself until... he worked himself to death.

[Dear Host, welcome to the Savior System.]
[It is the year 101 of the Interstellar Era. Due to cosmic radiation, human planets are facing a radiation crisis, and animals and plants are on the verge of extinction. Equip your buffs and reach new heights!]
President Xin raises an eyebrow and smiles. "I know this stuff."
[However, your assigned role is that of a notorious little troublemaker, a major cannon fodder character, a fake young master, and a lovesick simp.]
Xin Yuliang: "..."?
Just then, an interstellar netizen breaks some shocking news: Breaking! The pretty boy is engaged to General Tang?
Netizen A: [Ahhh, are they going to get married?!]
Netizen B: [No way. He's pining after a scumbag.]
Xin Yuliang quietly knocks on the door of a certain big shot: "Sir, want to get married? Me, I'm your husband."
Tang Che is the youngest general in the Human Federation. Cold and dazzling, he is like an unshakable tower.
At a rose-filled church packed with guests, he walks toward Xin Yuliang in his military uniform. He takes off his gloves and offers him a warm hand, as if he truly loves him. "Mr. Xin Yuliang, I hope we get along during the term of our contract."
Xin Yuliang: "..." Love my ass!

The entire interstellar world is waiting for the scoop on Xin Yuliang, the "discarded spouse of a wealthy family," but he himself keeps making high-profile appearances at all the major events. He puts on his sunglasses and loves no one.
[I feel like the pretty boy's taste has changed. He's beautiful and elegant, and somehow he's looking kind of hot.]
[He can design ancient Chinese clothing? My Yanhuang DNA is going wild.]
[Breaking! Is the max-level superpower expert on the Star Network Xin Yuliang?]
[Major news! The God of War Tang was injured saving Xin Yuliang!]
As Xin Yuliang faces down the entire interstellar scene, he realizes something is off about his husband at home.
Xin Yuliang is stubborn and has stomach problems, but skips breakfast. Tang Che frowns over his coffee. "Under interstellar marriage law, partners have a duty to care about each other's health. Come eat."
He's arrogant and hates crying, so Tang Che carries him back to their room by force and teases him until he is in tears.
Xin Yuliang thinks Tang Che is crazy, and that he must be crazy too, because he feels safe in Tang Che's arms and his heart races.
One day, Xin Yuliang finally stands atop the tower of salvation, and also finds himself on the opposite side from Tang Che.
Tang Che's fists clench. "Hmm? Husband?"
Xin Yuliang: "Sir, want a divorce? I'm a double agent."
Tang Che: "No divorce. I'm a lovesick idiot."
Xin Yuliang: "...You'd better be."
