When Mo Huaijin was down on his luck, someone came to his door and asked him to assume the identity of the third young master of the Dingbei Marquis's residence and build a relationship with his fiance.
Looking at the weapons and piles of silver before him, he agreed.
His fiance, the Prince Xuan's heir, was a brilliant young talent. But after an accident left him badly injured and crippled in both legs, he became gloomy and violent. Everyone gave him a wide berth.
When Mo Huaijin first met him, his fake fiance, unable to walk properly, was being bullied by his brothers. Mo Huaijin immediately rushed over, shoved them aside, and gave them a good beating. In front of everyone at Prince Xuan's residence, he declared, "From now on, anyone who wants to bully him will have to step over me first."
To earn his keep, Mo Huaijin took meticulous care of him.
When the heir lost his temper over some small matter, Mo Huaijin would hold his hand and patiently practice with him, again and again.
When someone picked on the heir, Mo Huaijin would stand in front of him and drive off every bothersome bully.
When everyone shunned the heir and left him alone in a corner, Mo Huaijin would stay by his side, lingering with him and speaking tenderly of his love.

One day, Mo Huaijin suddenly woke up to the truth: he was living inside an angsty romance novel.
The protagonist shou and protagonist gong had been betrothed since childhood, but the shou had fallen for someone else and intended to break off the engagement when the gong was down on his luck. The Dingbei Marquis coveted the power behind the gong and tried to persuade the shou to stay. In the end, he found a cannon-fodder lookalike to assume the shou's identity and go win the gong over.
When the deception was exposed, the gong flew into a rage and tortured the cannon fodder who had tricked him to death.
He then had the shou captured to exact revenge. But when he saw him, he fell in love at first sight, and the two began an unspeakable game of pursuit and escape.
After the gong recovered the use of his legs and became the most powerful man of his time, the shou understood his own feelings. At last, they confessed their love and reached a happy ending.
And Mo Huaijin was the cannon-fodder who died after taking the protagonist shou's place.
Great.
A world where only he got hurt.
For the sake of his life, Mo Huaijin packed his bags and ran through the night... Except running away was never an option.
He couldn't take this indignity anymore.
Why not overthrow the protagonist and claim that supreme throne himself?
On the night of the decisive battle, Mo Huaijin's time after transmigrating into a book ran out.
Watching the protagonist choose the throne without hesitation under the enemy's threat, Mo Huaijin faced the arrows shot at him and died before the protagonist's eyes.

He had taught the protagonist one last lesson.
When Mo Huaijin saw the ending of the book, the once-obsessive, gloomy wolf cub had gone completely mad.
