The protagonist plays a detestable cannon-fodder character.
But that's not his only identity. He's actually a task-taker from the quick transmigration bureau, juggling two secret identities to complete his role-playing missions, in addition to his cannon-fodder role.
He also has another identity, one who was already written out of the story before it began, a powerful figure and beloved white moonlight who exists only in everyone's memories.
[The vain poor student and the powerful head of a top family]
Song Muzhi is the laughingstock of all of Z School. Born poor but covetous of wealth, he's spent three years chasing after the Wen family's eldest son, Wen Shi, behaving like a lovesick dog. But at graduation, Wen Shi takes the hand of the campus heartthrob, Pei Leng, on the stage and publicly announces their relationship.
At that moment, Song Muzhi stands off to the side, watching the two embrace as everyone congratulates them, his face drained of all hope.
Everyone thinks he must finally give up, or at least find someone else to chase. But Song Muzhi refuses. Just to catch another glimpse of Wen Shi, he disguises himself as a waiter and sneaks into a Wen family banquet, only to be recognized along the way by the young master of the He family, a friend of Wen Shi's.
The young master He has a nasty streak and loves to tease people. He pursued Pei Leng for a long time too, only for Wen Shi to get there first. In a foul mood, he spots Song Muzhi hiding in a corner, head bowed as he pours drinks for the guests.
Like a vicious dog, he rushes over and grabs the young man's slender, pale wrist, adorned with a delicate cufflink. Song Muzhi stumbles as He pulls him, and the glass in his hand tips over, spilling dark red wine all over him.
Young Master He drags him to the center of the dance floor and exposes his identity in front of all the guests.
"Little lovesick dog, you only like Wen Shi because of his money, don't you? Everyone here has money, "
He hooks a finger under Song Muzhi's delicate chin, realizes the guy really is quite handsome, and grins even wider. "Want me to introduce you to a few more people?"
In full view of everyone, the slight young man stands under their mocking and suggestive gazes, shoulders trembling. His eyes redden with anger, and he lowers his head, unable to bear the humiliation.
Just then, footsteps break the mood of the banquet. Everyone turns and sees a tall man in a black trench coat walk in.
Carrying the scent of sea wind and gunpowder, he strides through the stunned crowd and stops in front of Song Muzhi, placing both hands on his shoulders.
Wen Shi, who had been watching coldly, stares at the man's face, which looks eighty percent like his own, and blurts out in shock, "Uncle? You're alive."
Song Muzhi looks up too, meets the man's gaze, and is utterly stunned!!!
How did the secret identity he'd already written out of the story come back on its own?!
