The eldest young master of the Yan family inexplicably transmigrates into a melodramatic novel, becoming the book's arranged-marriage partner.
In the novel, business magnate Liang Heng is powerful and ruthless. He binds Yan Huai to himself for profit, then throws him out once he gets what he wants.
After enduring indifference and humiliation in their marriage, Yan Huai becomes the butt of everyone's jokes and leaves in despair.
Yan Huai sighs helplessly. "Who on earth reads such a melodramatic romance?"
If he's ignoring you, can't you give him the cold shoulder too?
Why not take this chance to snatch his family fortune? Wouldn't that be delightful?
Yan Huai decides to treat Liang Heng like air and get ready to rob him blind and run before Liang Heng dumps him.
However, this magnate is far more difficult to handle than expected. He is only rarely cold and indifferent; most of the time, he's a complete lunatic, unreasonable and unhinged.
At last, one day, Yan Huai can take no more. He raises his hand and slaps Liang Heng hard across the face.
A sharp crack rings out.
The magnate freezes for a second. His unfathomably deep eyes actually gleam with a dark light as he smiles and says, "Not bad. Do it again."
Yan Huai: "?"
From then on, the plot goes completely off the rails.
Liang Heng seems to have become addicted to him. Yan Huai can't get away no matter how hard he tries, and on several occasions, Liang Heng gets so furious he nearly coughs up blood.
Finally, one day, Yan Huai, whose health is already poor, is so angry that his stomach condition flares up. He curls up on the sofa, drenched in cold sweat.
Liang Heng comes over again. Yan Huai raises a hand to slap him, but Liang Heng suddenly grabs his wrist.
"Bastard, what are you trying to do?!..."
Liang Heng frowns. "You're not feeling well."
Yan Huai gasps weakly. "What's it to you?"
The next second, Liang Heng scoops him up and tosses him onto the bed in the bedroom.
"Liang Heng, what are you doing?!... Mmph!..."
Only later does Yan Huai discover that Liang Heng's actions have a deeper meaning, and that he is not as unreasonable as he was in the original novel.
Behind the surface lie tangled grievances and grudges that cannot be spoken aloud, and an immense, intricate web of competing interests. Only when the clouds part does the sun begin to shine.
