Lin Yue transmigrates into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder character with the same name, who is sent in place of the bride to marry Wen Simiao, the abandoned son of a wealthy family. As soon as he arrives, he's packed off to his new home with Wen Simiao.
One is the discarded son of the Wen family, crippled and cast aside; the other is an illegitimate son whom the Lin family doesn't favor, sent to marry in someone else's place. The couple endure no shortage of mockery.
The difference is that Wen Simiao turns his life around, while "Lin Yue" dies mysteriously and meets a tragic end.
The first time Lin Yue sees Wen Simiao, the man before him is wearing an oversized hospital gown. His skin is an unhealthy pallor, and he gazes at Lin Yue with detached eyes. He looks frail and scholarly, yet Lin Yue shivers under his stare.
This is the man who secretly turns dark and becomes the novel's biggest hidden villain, ruthless and capable of turning the tide at will, a figure who inspires terror wherever he goes.
This is a world of survival of the fittest, where everyone fights for their own interests and the competition is brutal, with lives at stake. Caught between characters from every storyline, the original Lin Yue is the protagonist gong's secret admirer, the protagonist shou's sworn enemy, and the notorious villain Wen Simiao's spouse in name and betrayer. It would be hard not to die.
Lin Yue wants to find himself an escape route. A kind, law-abiding player from a harmonious society governed by the rule of law only wants to live in peace.
With the System's help, he opens a dessert shop. Staying true to his childhood dream, he works hard every day to make little cakes and earn a little cash, firmly keeping himself outside the plot.
As for Wen Simiao, the man he lives with under the same roof, whom he sees whenever he looks up or down, Lin Yue is all smiles, politeness, respect, and distance. He occasionally offers him a caring little cake, but his bottom line is never to offend him.
Darkened Wen Simiao will kick him out sooner or later. Then he'll be free again!
But three months pass, then six, then nine. Life is bustling and busy, and things are going great.
Lin Yue glances at the big shot calmly waiting for his little cake to come out of the oven and falls into deep thought.
Why hasn't his housemate turned dark yet?
