[Male Lead Is the Bottom]
Xin Tan transmigrates into a danmei novel about a real young master and a fake one.
But he is the cannon-fodder real young master, good for nothing but his looks, whose purpose is to make the fake young master seem perfect.
The fake young master, raised in a wealthy family, is kind and outstanding, a treasured jewel everyone dotes on.
The real young master, switched at birth, is crude and dull, discarded like a worn-out shoe.
Everyone thinks these two should not return to their rightful places. Keeping things as they are is the best choice.
That is, until they see Xin Tan at a yacht party hosted by one of the big shots in their circle.
The wealthy guests wear gorgeous swimsuits and ride one-meter-high waves, while a big shot declares that whoever catches the biggest wave will win an island.
Half an hour later, a rare giant wave arrives, a full 30 meters high. It terrifies everyone, and no one dares take on the challenge, even with an island as the prize.
But then Xin Tan, the real young master who has never been welcome in their circle, steps forward.
The beautiful young man wears a tight-fitting wetsuit that covers him from head to toe, showing not an inch of skin. His waist and hips have perfect curves, and his long legs seem to tread on people's hearts. Only a small patch of pale skin peeks out above the diving sock around his ankle, leaving everyone inexplicably parched.
Then Xin Tan rides his surfboard straight down the 30-meter wave.
The wealthy guests: Holy crap! Mom, I think I just saw an immortal riding the waves!
The young man who successfully conquers the giant wave is completely unharmed.
Under the complicated gazes of the wealthy guests, he sits on his surfboard as the big shot catches up, cradles his wet, bare feet, dries them, and slips on the diving sock that must have come off at some point.
That day, the stunned onlookers suddenly realize that Xin Tan is a bird they never understood, one that has abruptly flown out of their sight.
And this is only the beginning.

The real young master who was once cast aside resolutely sets out on a path to rebirth, shoulder to shoulder with the Grim Reaper.
A fixed-point skydive off the sheer face of the 3,000-foot Goddess Peak;
A wild motorcycle rally across a barren mountain range;
A doomsday sinkhole bat cave capable of swallowing a skyscraper;
An 80-meter wave, the highest seen in a century, among the White Shark reefs;
Off-trail skiing along cliffs and rocks on the Cosette Ice Ridge;
Free solo climbing at the Waterfall of the Gods, a thousand meters above the ground;
At the boundary between life and death, Xin Tan is invincible.
He is the king who controls his own life, the god of extreme sports.

Everyone in their circle says that Huo Chen, the Second Master Huo, is a reckless playboy. Maybe because he has everything, he treats life like a game and was born without a nerve for fear.
That is, until he sees that slender, frail figure on a 30-meter wave.
For the first time, Second Master Huo feels his heart race. Grinning with amusement, he asks his friend who the young man is.
His friend says he is the younger son the Xin family just found.
Huo Chen thinks, He's a son of the Xin family. I can have him.
Later, he fails to win him over, and ends up following Xin Tan instead.
Wingsuit flying, aerial skateboarding, backward high-diving...
Huo Chen accompanies Xin Tan, witnessing the young man's tug-of-war with death every step of the way. His heart, which has never known fear, suddenly learns how to be afraid.

Inside a camper van parked in the wilderness late at night...
After another extreme sports event, the beautiful young man sits by the window in a blanket, his expression serene as he watches the rain.
A tall man kneels beside him, head bowed against the young man's abdomen, arms wrapped around him like iron shackles.
Second Master Huo, who used to fear neither heaven nor earth, can't help biting the young man's lower belly. As the young man furrows his brows, he rubs the ring on his middle finger and murmurs:
"...Baby, let's get married before you scare me to death."
"Loving you is the source of my fear."
◆ A little scene:
"The real young master has been gone from the wealthy family for a year."
"Has he admitted he was wrong?"
"No. He's become the world's ambassador for extreme sports."
"...Is he planning to come back?"
"Probably not. He married the head of a top-tier wealthy family."
A wealthy big shot who appears carefree and elegant, but is actually dark and twisted inside, and learns to be afraid because of the bottom × a beautiful, kind real young master who seems delicate but loves standing shoulder to shoulder with the Grim Reaper
Notes:
1. The real young master is the bottom. Both are each other's first and only. The pairing is Huo Chen.
2. Inspired by Point Break. The novel's setting is definitely more exaggerated than reality, but reality served as a reference.
3. Beginners are advised not to try extreme sports. Of course, the author hasn't tried them either.
4. Both leads have some psychological issues. They provoke and heal each other.
5. A powerful man lowering his head, a long-dormant romance catching fire, a dark and twisted man pretending to be normal.
Theme: Life holds endless possibilities. Boldly pursue your dreams.
