As the Lu family's "illegitimate son," Lu Zhiyan was mocked from childhood as a fake young master from a wealthy family.
He tried his best to please everyone just to survive, but was still sent into an arranged marriage. In the end, he was imprisoned for three years and became a casualty of a power struggle.
After being reborn, he faced another arranged marriage and chose to run away from the wedding.
*
Fortunately, Lu Zhiyan discovered that he could reload and start over. If his escape failed, he could return to his rebirth checkpoint and try again.
The first time he ran away, Lu Zhiyan got the groom drunk, but their car broke down on the highway. Luckily, he got a ride from a "university professor."
The driver got out to stall the people chasing him.
In the dim car, Chu Ge pressed Lu Zhiyan's head into his lap, smoothed his messy hair, and asked with a soft laugh, "Running away from home?"
Lu Zhiyan looked like a spoiled young master, his expression stubborn yet tinged with a heartbreakingly fragile air. "Yeah. Unless you want to take me in for a few days?"
The second time he ran away, Lu Zhiyan found a stand-in, but he had been riding without a helmet and was taken in by traffic police for a cautionary lesson. By chance, he ran into Chu Ge, who was there on business.
Chu Ge raised his glasses, eyes full of curiosity, and asked, "Were you in a fight?"
Lu Zhiyan clung to Chu Ge's arm and wouldn't let go. "He's my guardian. Talk to him."
Chu Ge: "?"
The third time he ran away, Lu Zhiyan turned the groom against the wedding, only to realize he had nowhere to go.
He gritted his teeth, went straight to Chu Ge's house, threw himself into his arms, and wrapped his arms around his waist. "I'm going to cling to you. I'm never leaving again."

Chu Ge had seen Lu Zhiyan many times, but the occasion that left the deepest impression was a Christmas party.
The supposedly timid, insecure fake young master was like a sly little fox, seeing through the plot to frame him and hitting back hard.
A few days later, Chu Ge heard that Lu Zhiyan had run away from his wedding and was fleeing in his direction.
The Lu family came looking for him and asked whether he had seen Lu Zhiyan.
Chu Ge glanced at the young master hiding between his legs, then coldly rolled up the car window. "Sorry, I haven't seen him."
One day, Chu Ge discovered two very strange things.
First, he kept dreaming of a figure sitting by a window, quietly reading in the gentle sunlight.
Second, that strange young master was always on the run, while everyone else seemed to have lost their memories and couldn't remember him at all.
Only Chu Ge remembered Lu Zhiyan.
*
Later, Lu Zhiyan was found by his birth family.
They were powerful and wealthy, and gave Lu Zhiyan all the love and money they hadn't been able to give him before.
At a certain banquet.
A greasy middle-aged man and his son went around with drinks, ingratiating themselves with several powerful people. The powerful men looked coldly at them, ignoring their efforts completely.
Just as the man was cursing their arrogance under his breath, he saw their expressions change to obsequious smiles as they headed toward a young man surrounded by a crowd.
Lu Zhiyan raised a hand, and the people eagerly chatting with him made way of their own accord.
He curled his lip and looked at his stunned adoptive father and brother. "I'm back. Aren't you going to welcome me?"

P.S.:
1. Romance-focused. The story centers on the two leads, with a little face-slapping against wealthy families.
2. Contains lots of outrageous, unrealistic plot developments.
3. A sweet story, not a power fantasy.
4. The romance is moving at airplane speed, while the plot crawls along like a tortoise. ()
