I Accidentally Burned Down His Wife

Ying Ruoyu suffers from severe social anxiety.

Whenever someone gets close, he wants to run away. Whenever someone speaks, he wants to faint. His greatest wish in life is to stay at home, cut off from the world.

After being reborn, Ying Ruoyu resolutely refuses to return to the wealthy family in order to investigate the cause of his adoptive parents' deaths.

He'll become a Taoist priest and leave the world behind!

His adoptive parents worked in the funeral industry, so Ying Ruoyu grew up immersed in it. His social anxiety also made him seem especially aloof and mysterious, and he quickly made quite a name for himself in the field despite being a newcomer.

Just as his career is taking off, he suffers a crushing setback.

The crematorium has just finished burning a body when the family discovers that the deceased's last wish was to have a sky burial.

Ying Ruoyu: "..."

He sneaks a glance at the deceased's "lover."

The man is wearing a black suit. He has broad shoulders, long legs, and sharp features.

Amid the heartbroken sobs of the deceased's "brother," he remains silent and restrained. Only his slightly reddened eyes betray his true feelings.

Ying Ruoyu feels a pang of guilt.

-

This is the first time he has met Chen Jingyi.

Chen Jingyi suddenly finds his fiance an interesting person.

The young master of the Ying family has actually run off to become a Taoist priest on his own.

Before Chen Jingyi can arrange to meet Ying Ruoyu, he gets into a car accident while dodging a stray dog.

Holding his forehead, Chen Jingyi staggers out of the car, and the young man hurriedly catches him. "A-are you all right?"

The young man, who had seemed cool and quiet just moments ago, now looks anxious. His beautiful eyes gaze at Chen Jingyi with concern.

"Even though your beloved has passed away, please take good care of yourself."

Chen Jingyi: Who of mine?

Later, he discovers that Ying Ruoyu, the seemingly aloof little Taoist priest, is actually an extreme social-anxiety sufferer with a vivid inner world.

Tagged as a "bereaved spouse," "emotionally unstable," and "in need of care," Chen Jingyi successfully makes his way into the house. "Thanks for asking. I'm enjoying every minute of it."

-

Everyone knows the Chen family was pressured into agreeing to an engagement with the young master of the Ying family because the Ying family once did them a favor.

At a birthday banquet, Ying Ruoyu is publicly bullied by the fake young master.

Just as everyone waits to see him make a fool of himself, the only son of the Chen family, rumored to despise the engagement, suddenly appears.

In front of everyone's eyes, Chen Jingyi puts an arm around Ying Ruoyu and celebrates his birthday with an incense holder carved with a coiling dragon, made of agarwood worth a fortune. It's all for Ying Ruoyu alone.

"Allow me to formally introduce him to everyone. This is my beloved."

The man says it as if it were nothing.

Bai Ye wakes from a car accident to find his mind completely blank. His memories stop on the day he received a promise of reappointment.

But then...

A little kid suddenly appears at home, looking up at him expectantly and calling him Dad.

Bai Ye: "!"

Bai Ye is stunned and instinctively takes a step back.

He's a tenured professor at Qingbei University, and he's into men. How could he possibly have a child?!

With his memories scattered, he has to keep his research on track while learning from scratch how to interact with a three-year-old. Even he is overwhelmed, until help suddenly arrives.

The president of the Pei Group shows up at his door with a paternity test and announces that he is taking his son.

Mr. Pei is young, handsome, tall, and long-legged, but for some reason, the moment Bai Ye sees his face, he lets out a cold laugh.

His fists clench.

Seeing the child's aggrieved expression, Bai Ye sighs and hands him over to his biological father.

After clearing an infinite-flow game and returning to the real world, Pei Tingsong suffers memory loss. The only thing he remembers is that he lost contact with the close friend who cleared the game with him.

After searching for three years, he sees a familiar, shrunken version of that face, and is so shaken to the core he can't speak.

How did his beautiful, fair-skinned friend shrink, body and soul, into a three-year-old child?!

Looking at the obviously irresponsible ordinary adoptive father, who is using a disguise to hide his good looks, Pei Tingsong steps in, forges proof of paternity, storms into the home, and takes the child away.

Then he gets a splitting headache.

Whether he books out an entire amusement park or takes the child to a parent-and-child club, the kid cries and throws a tantrum, demanding to find "Dad."

Pei Tingsong: "? Wake up! I vaguely remember you weren't like this in the Main God Space!"

After the child is sent away, Bai Ye feels a little regretful.

But Pei Tingsong brings him back.

"He keeps asking for you."

"Just play with him once in a while. Here's a card. Spend as much as you want."

Looking at the child clutching the hem of his clothes, Bai Ye's heart softens.

Later, their memories gradually return, and they find each other increasingly familiar.

Pei Tingsong: "Hello...?"

Bai Ye: "Heh."
