After dying unexpectedly, Lin Hui transmigrates into a novel about a scum gong chasing his wife to win him back. Lin Hui is the scum gong's secret lover, the one who drives him to desperation, and the story's biggest villain. He seems cool and elegant, but is actually malicious and devious.
In the original plot, he uses his looks and stops at nothing to seduce people, all to keep the protagonist shou and the scum gong apart. He loves the scum gong so desperately that he'd die for him.
After transmigrating, Lin Hui is just as ruthless in winning people over, but he doesn't love the scum gong, nor does he hurt the protagonist shou. He wants money, power, knowledge, skills, and status.
He'll be anyone's sycophant as long as the money is right. He'll flatter you until you cry.
He'll also strictly control his diet to stay in shape, take care of his skin, work out, learn all kinds of instruments, and make himself the most beautiful, impressive ornament anyone could ask for.
The protagonist shou is as aloof as a chrysanthemum, a heaven-blessed prodigy. Lin Hui scrambles and fights for everything, vulgar and mercenary.
People have endless potential when their lives are on the line. Lin Hui firmly believes that if he climbs high enough, he can break free of his villainous fate.
And the ceiling for money and status in the whole book is the scum gong's older brother, He Guhuai. Even the status Lin Hui has fought tooth and nail to earn is no more than his ticket to meet President He.
With the time until his story ends drawing ever closer, Lin Hui knows dignity is worthless next to staying alive. Gritting his teeth, he puts everything he has into winning over the stiff, celibate He Guhuai.
What he doesn't know is that He Guhuai has watched him climb every step of the way. He's seen Lin Hui's endless lies and instant changes of face, and understands his true nature better than anyone...
Lin Hui doesn't love anyone he's ever pursued. He treats their belated devotion like trash. He only loves money and power, and wants to stay alive.
He Guhuai has money and power. While others laugh at Lin Hui for selling his dignity to get ahead, He Guhuai admires his courage and hard work, and is willing to protect him and give him his unwavering favor.
One-on-one, both leads' first and only
Theme: You don't have to be perfect. The person who loves you will love you as you are.
