[The younger assistant is a flirtatious, deeply hypocritical drama queen who pursues his boss × the boss is a poisonous beauty who acts even better and is even more hypocritical]
A lighthearted, ridiculous romantic comedy with a little heartache.
An accident cut Shu Tan's life short. Then he discovered he had transmigrated into a melodramatic novel, becoming the scumbag in a scumbag seme and wretched uke pairing.
In the book, he lived off his partner while taking him for granted, hurting the protagonist, Cong Zhuo, again and again. Only after losing him did he regret it. In the end, he gave away his entire fortune, became a great philanthropist, and earned the title of "hopeless romantic."
But where could a kept man like him get a fortune to give away? Naturally, it was the inheritance he had stolen from Cong Zhuo.
Now, the story had reached the couple's seven-year itch. Shu Tan had to ruthlessly gaslight Cong Zhuo until he was utterly heartbroken and killed himself.
Shu Tan: People shouldn't be this awful. At least, they really mustn't...
System: Once you complete the "hopeless romantic who regrets everything" storyline, you will be reborn in your original world.
Shu Tan: Deal.
So Shu Tan started committing one petty offense a day against Cong Zhuo, hoping to force him to ask for a divorce.
He went out to entertain clients with Cong Zhuo, then spun the table when Cong Zhuo reached for a dish. He interrupted him whenever he spoke, urged him to drink when he pretended to be drunk, and even added two extra slices of Cong Zhuo's most hated lemon to the hangover soup he made that night.
Shu Tan: Now you should think I've got a problem with you.
That evening, Cong Zhuo did indeed grow suspicious. He suspected Shu Tan had... been getting too little allowance lately, so he sent him another three million.
Shu Tan: ?
Shu Tan: Sorry, I didn't add enough. Next time I'll put in a whole lemon. It'll be so sour you'll be furious.
Shu Tan changed tactics. If Cong Zhuo was as immovable as a mountain, then Shu Tan would have to break his own heart and crush Cong Zhuo's!
He skipped work to splurge at a nightclub, deliberately missed their wedding anniversary, and even put evidence of his affair right in front of Cong Zhuo... Finally, at the company annual party, he shoved Cong Zhuo, who was terrified of water, into the pool in front of everyone. And while Cong Zhuo was recuperating from his injuries, Shu Tan found himself a "mistress" and flaunted her!
Shu Tan: This time, it has to work.
Cong Zhuo flew into a rage and insisted on leaving the hospital early, regardless of the danger, to punish him with the household rules: he held Shu Tan and kissed him again and again, crying so hard his face was streaked with tears, and begged him not to leave.
"Shu Tan": Why can't I break his heart?
Shu Tan: Why can't I get a divorce?
Shu Tan decided to go all out. If Cong Zhuo loved him so much, he'd use his own life to force him to give in.
As it happened, Cong Zhuo had the same idea.
The two husbands of Shi* Si plotted against each other with every trick in the book. One wanted a divorce, while the other wanted to win him back... No, wait, did he want them both to die together?!
Shu Tan: Uh, it's just a divorce. Isn't this a bit much?
Cong Zhuo smiled as he walked toward him with a knife. "Are you sure you still want a divorce?"
