[A laid-back office-weary bottom who hires people to curse others × a sinister, cold prince who lowers his head despite his lofty status]
Yan Fang transmigrates into an unfinished male-oriented novel and discovers he is the cannon-fodder male supporting character who covets the male lead's fortune and tries to seduce the female lead.
According to the story, the male lead, Prince Yong'an Qi Jinghuan, has yet to be acknowledged by the royal family. After offending the crown prince, Qi Zijin, he is locked up in Xiatai and subjected to endless torture.
Yan Fang rushes to the scene to rescue him, hoping to make peace with the male lead, only to be humiliated and left fuming.
Yan Fang looks at the cold-hearted crown prince, who is about to be deposed, and thinks: Why not go all out?
*
According to the timeline, Yan Fang should be confessing his love to the female lead by force.
That day, Yan Fang invites the crown prince to witness the confession. When the time comes, he turns his head and pours all his sweet nothings out to His Highness instead.
The female lead looks completely bewildered, while the crown prince gives him a strange look.
At last, Yan Fang's passionate devotion moves the crown prince, and he manages to get into the cabinet.
As a laid-back office drone, Yan Fang doesn't get along well with the crown prince's faction.
The old men are rigid and stubborn. The crown prince refuses to be controlled but has no way to break free, so he can only communicate through Yan Fang.
When it comes to building waterworks, the old men each have their own opinion, and none of them will give in. The crown prince's face darkens, and the air grows tense.
Yan Fang steps forward to calm everyone down: No need to argue. Just sit down, stay calm, and slap each other a few times.
Everyone: ...
When it comes to choosing a crown princess, the old men eagerly praise how beautiful and well-mannered their daughters and granddaughters are.
Yan Fang: Pretty faces cheat on you in real life, and interesting souls cheat on you in your heart.
Everyone: ...

Later, the female lead's family becomes highly influential and openly and secretly pressures the crown prince to marry her. But the crown prince publicly declares that he already has someone in his heart.
The old men can't accept it. Instinctively, they turn to Yan Fang, who spends the most time with the crown prince, and yell: Are you trying to ruin the crown prince?!
Yan Fang glances at himself, lounging around as usual.
He thinks: Sure, I can hire someone to curse people for me, but it seems I can't hire someone to marry in my place.
So, gritting his teeth and stamping his foot, Yan Fang fakes his death.
The original male lead and female lead end up together after all.
Yan Fang doesn't die either, and happily settles into his own little life.
Until the day the crown prince ascends the throne. A grand bridal procession stretches out for ten miles. He lowers his eyes and kisses Yan Fang like a madman, begging him to give him a proper title.
The original couple stays together. Some supporting characters have BG romances, while others have BL romances.
The plot serves the romance, and the setting is very loosely constructed, so don't take it too seriously.
One-on-one pairing, happy ending.
Theme: Love requires respect and acceptance
