Ji Xingzhe transmigrates into a melodramatic novel about winning back an ex. Not only does he become the real young master who constantly antagonizes the adopted protagonist, but he is also forced to marry the disgraced, wheelchair-bound fiance his former self had always looked down on.
Everyone thinks he'll make a scene and oppose the marriage, but to their surprise, he accepts the arrangement without a fuss.
As if! He doesn't want to become collateral damage in the romance between the novel's leading man and his love interest. Getting married will at least save him from the death that awaits him in the original story.
His disabled husband has fallen from the heights of wealth, going from a rich young master to an ordinary company employee. But his former self had some personal assets, and Ji Xingzhe figures that if he lives frugally, he can still enjoy a comfortable life.
It's just that his husband doesn't seem to have adjusted to his new circumstances, and still spends money as lavishly as before.
Ji Xingzhe is heartbroken, and resolves to cure his husband's wasteful ways.
He insists that his husband sell the villa and move into a small apartment. To save on food, he shops and cooks, bringing his husband lovingly prepared lunches. Even when buying him clothes, he only dares to get knockoffs of famous brands.
Watching his husband go from scowling at first to accepting it all with ease, Ji Xingzhe feels very pleased. There's just one thing he doesn't understand: why does the name of the wealthy boss at the top of an online ranking of young tycoons match his husband's exactly?
In Gu Jingchen's eyes, the current Ji Xingzhe seems quite different from the spoiled, troublesome young master he remembers.
At first, Gu Jingchen wonders what his husband is trying to achieve with all these antics. Then he realizes that Ji Xingzhe genuinely thinks he's poor...
Reader's guide:
1. The love interest is reborn and has a bit of a scheming streak.
2. His legs were disabled in a car accident, but he recovered before meeting the protagonist. He only pretends to use a wheelchair later.
3. One-on-one romance, sweet story, happy ending.
4. This is probably a comedic story.
