The funny yet dark, unhinged Yu Xuan x Nan Yanmo, calm and seemingly always on the verge of death
Yu Xuan knew that for the past year, someone from who-knows-where had been occupying his body. When he finally regained control, his family's company was still doing fine, with no major problems. But "he" had lost the love of his life.
And the culprit had left him a self-righteous letter, even after leaving.
"I helped you break free of your restraints. You should go love the person you were meant to love."
If there's something wrong with your head, go get it treated.
Yu Xuan glanced at the letter and burned it. He knew perfectly well that, when it came to love, the only person he had ever loved was Nan Yanmo.
But after waking up, Yu Xuan couldn't find her.
He had no memory of that year, but from the people around him, he learned how cruelly and coldly he had treated Nan Yanmo.
One thing after another pierced Yu Xuan's heart like a sharp sword, leaving him bleeding inside.
How was that fair?!
Who the hell was that transmigrator? What right did they have to hurt and slander the person I hold dearest, all under the pretense of doing what was best for me?!
Yu Xuan searched everywhere and tried every method, but still couldn't find a trace of Nan Yanmo. Just as he was on the verge of breaking down, someone gave him an address.
Clinging to his last hope, he found the girl he'd been longing for in a remote mountain village.
"After this meal, you can leave."
The lively person she'd once been was now detached and calm. Nan Yanmo showed little emotion at Yu Xuan's arrival.
"I won't!"
The man who had once been so capable in the business world was now throwing a tantrum. Looking utterly disheveled, Yu Xuan clutched a bowl of plain rice porridge and shamelessly sat down on the doorstep of Nan Yanmo's home.
"I don't care. I'm staying with you."
"You staying here does me no good."
Fine. To prove he could be useful to her, Yu Xuan started getting up after five in the morning like everyone else to cook porridge and feed the chickens, but he burned through the pot. He went to weed the vegetable garden, but uprooted the vegetables. He went up the mountain to chop firewood, but got lost...
After a snake bit him while he was planting rice seedlings, Yu Xuan seized the chance to throw his arms around Nan Yanmo and cry. He recited all the contributions he'd made lately, then tried his hardest to find an opening to confess his love.
Nan Yanmo just silently let him throw a fit and roll around. Her heart wasn't exactly made of stone, but she really couldn't think of a thing to say. Why?
Let's roll the footage.
He'd nearly starved her chickens and ducks to death, burned through two iron pots, wrecked the vegetable garden, and nearly fallen to his death while looking for her in the mountains. And as for the rice paddy, Nan Yanmo had to fix nearly every seedling Yu Xuan had planted haphazardly.
Under the village doctor's eaves, Nan Yanmo, who hadn't sighed in a long time, was thoroughly "shut down."
Beside her, Yu Xuan was still chattering away.
Yu Xuan had grown up in luxury, and Nan Yanmo couldn't believe he'd managed to stay in Furong Village this long. She didn't know what to make of it.
Especially when Yu Xuan went right up onstage in front of all the villagers, using cheap equipment and wearing a confident expression as he sang a love song to Nan Yanmo.
Nan Yanmo: ...
Yu Xuan: I'm so handsome, I must have swept my Xiao Yan off her feet!
The villagers: Hey, who's slaughtering a pig?
After the performance, Yu Xuan ran over to Nan Yanmo to ask for praise.
"Not bad. Don't sing again next time."
