A timid, attention-grabbing bottom x a rich cowardly top
Shu Zhi doesn't want to be an attention magnet, but falls for Jin Boxiao, whose attention-grabbing tendencies are off the charts.
After the two argue and break up, Jin Boxiao activates an Attention-Grabbing Effects World he once studied but never turned on!
The Effects World has two tiers of entrance effects: top-tier and low-tier. Jin Boxiao humbly chooses the low-tier effects, but shows up with top-tier ones.
As soon as he chooses his entrance effect, wherever he goes, grayish-yellow particles swirl around him, drawing the attention of people hundreds of meters away. No exaggeration.
The low-tier effects only catch the eyes of passersby walking right past him. They come in three levels, low, middle, and high. The differences are slight, but they can control how things unfold.
At first, he enjoys the change and even thinks about how to get Shu Zhi to change his attitude too. But they've already broken up, so first they'd have to get back together...
Just thinking of Shu Zhi's stubbornness makes him angry, and he doesn't want to bring up changing or reconciling.
The top-tier attention-grabbing effect suddenly lashes out at him, making the explosive effects around him even more conspicuous. Now everyone within a kilometer can see him.
This reaction makes him think for a while that the low-tier effect he chose must be fake. Then he learns that from the very beginning, he wasn't using the low-tier effect he'd chosen at all. He was using the top-tier one!
No wonder he can't handle it. He's completely dumbfounded...
He even asks the Effects World, "How do I choose a low-tier effect?"
The Effects World replies, [Isn't going straight to top-tier better?]
He says, "...I don't want to go back."
The Effects World has no choice but to warn him that this isn't a particularly good choice for him. If he stays low-tier, he'll remain low-tier forever. And if he doesn't want to enter the transparent effects of the top tier, he'll never see Shu Zhi again, nor break the punishment that expands the range of vision affected by the top-tier effects.
He knows how to break the deadlock. To do that, he only needs to...
But he's also confused. Why can his world never get away from Shu Zhi? Why is everything he comes across connected to him???
Isn't this just a blatant "conspiracy"?
