Lu Heshan, a rising star in X City's business world, built his success from scratch. He should have been living the high life, but a rumor left him in a humiliating mess.
The gossip was supposedly backed by ironclad evidence: he had never had a partner because he was secretly debauched, psychologically twisted, and a complete pervert. He had tortured countless men and women, loved destroying beautiful things, and sent people to the ICU.
The whole city was in an uproar. The public questioned him, business partners fled, and his company looked ready to shut down for good.
Reporters hounded him relentlessly. Driven into a corner, Lu Heshan blurted out, “That's all nonsense! I do have a proper partner, and we're very much in love!”
Facing the cameras, he made up a story on the spot: his wife came from one of the most powerful families, was stunningly beautiful, aloof and untouchable in public but passionate in private, hopelessly lovesick, and so clingy it was unbearable. “You'd be scared to death if I told you more.”
The reporters scoffed. “Where are you going to find someone like that?”
There was indeed one untouchable beauty in the elite circles, but Lu Heshan wouldn't dare get involved with him.
Frazzled and at his wits' end, Lu Heshan planned to hire an actor to bluff his way through. But at a top-tier banquet, the young master he could never hope to reach fell straight into his arms and came looking for a handout.
“Mr. Lu, since you're looking for someone to play your partner...” The other man buried his face against Lu Heshan's shoulder. His breath was warm, and his lowered voice held a hint of grievance. “Why not choose me?”
Zhu Yiqing, the young master of an old-money family, was noble and aloof, showing no favor to any of his admirers. He had once poured a drink over the head of a shameless suitor. In elite circles, he was known as the Iceberg Beauty, the one true untouchable flower on the high peak.
Lu Heshan looked at the man clinging to him: ...?
The wineglass in his hand trembled.
Lu Heshan's eyes widened in shock.
No, seriously, Young Master Zhu, born to wealth and privilege, what have I done to deserve this?
In his previous life, Zhu Yiqing's family fell into decline.
His former pride and aloofness drew predators from every direction. Everyone wanted to take the chance to pluck the flower from its high peak and grind it into the dirt.
Just as he was overcome with despair, a man with a notorious reputation draped a coat over his shoulders and took his icy hand.
“Isn't this Young Master Zhu? How did you end up in such a state?”
The man pulled him out of the mud and gave him a teasing smile. “Poor little thing, want to come with me?”
Dazed and confused, Zhu Yiqing followed him away. He never imagined that from then on, the man would shelter him beneath his wings, keeping him safe from every storm.
But that man's life came to an abrupt end at thirty.
Every year, Zhu Yiqing visited his grave. He walked alone through wind and rain for many long years.
When he opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by clinking glasses and lively conversation.
Through the brilliant lights, Zhu Yiqing saw Lu Heshan, young and full of life, and knew this was the person he would miss for the rest of his life.
“Hello, sir.” He walked up to Lu Heshan.
“I want to date you.”

While you're here, take a look at my upcoming story
"How to Bully a Villain the Wrong Way [Quick Transmigration]"
System: You're a background character with a short time to live, but if you can help the protagonist bully the villain mercilessly, you'll earn a coveted spot in the protagonist's group. From then on, you'll live a long life with nothing to worry about!
The Hosts were brimming with confidence. “Okay, bullying a villain? Easy.”
The villains being bullied gazed up at them expectantly. “Big brother, please bully me again.”
System: ???
Wait, is this really what you call bullying?
[Arc One: A suave, wicked celebrity A-semexually dominant x a cold, abstinent CEO O-submissive]
On the Host's first day at work, the System said, “The O's identity is this villain's greatest weakness. Use your pheromones to get a hold of him, bully him mercilessly, and ruin his reputation completely... No, wait, what are you doing?!”
“I'm getting a hold of him and bullying him, aren't I?”
The celebrity unfurled an exquisite lace slip dress with spaghetti straps and smiled. “Darling, I want to see you wear this.”
Pheromones flooded the room. The villain, who had been injecting suppressants for years and whose pheromones had dwindled until his hormones were out of balance: ...
The villain lifted his hem to reveal a pearl chain around his waist, pressed his legs together, and coaxed in a husky voice, “...You can bully me a little more.”
System: ...?
The System let out a piercing shriek.
[Arc Two: A naive, sweet-natured rich heir seme x a poor top student uke]
System: Hurry, hurry! This villain hasn't become a threat yet. Humiliate him, control him, and leave him with psychological scars! That way, the protagonist will have a chance to defeat him!
Rich heir: “No problem. Leave it to me!”
The rich heir took the villain to eat at McDonald's, ordering burgers, fries, fried chicken, and soda until the table was piled high. “Ha ha! Watch me humiliate you with poor people's food!”
The poor top student, who had never eaten at McDonald's before: (crying because it's so delicious)
The rich heir crowed proudly. “Look! I've humiliated him so badly he's crying! I'm amazing!”
The System was moved to tears. “Ah! You're the most dedicated Host in the world! Thank goodness, my performance record is saved!”
System: ...Wait, no.
In the end, the System discovered that the villains had all, somehow, stopped causing trouble.
Those vicious, terrifying, obsessive, and deranged villains had completely turned over a new leaf. They spent their days glued to their Hosts, whispering sweet nothings and enjoying their own little worlds together, completely breaking away from the original storylines and restoring the novel worlds that had been on the verge of collapse.
The System wondered, “Did something happen here that I don't know about?”
Assistant: “Probably some love happened.”
You are the villain in the story, born to be trapped in darkness.
Your life has reached a dead end. In a hopeless stretch of time without a glimmer of light, a beam of warmth suddenly appears before you.
It is so warm, so bright. You hold it tightly in your hands and press yourself against it, reluctant to let go.
You will never let it go again.
Seme-focused, mutual devotion, episodic stories, with an unlucky System in charge of Quick Transmigration.
It's written as defeating villains, but read as seducing villains. At its heart, it's a collection of little stories about semes who transmigrate into a book and save the villains.
The seme and uke in every arc fall in love with each other. Guaranteed sweetness, one-on-one romance, happy ending.
Theme: Sincerity for sincerity
So sweet! Actually, the last wish wasn't just to ensure Xiao Zhu had no regrets, but also to fulfill the regret of Lu Ge, who couldn't be saved in his past life. 🥺🥺🥺
I hope my two little bitter melons will be happy 😭
Brother Lu also really likes Yiqing, this little piggy. [Let me see!]
What's my next book? Am I going to be the villain? I'm so anxious! 😭😭😭
May the two babies always be happy together. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
I'm just one step away from happiness 😭
The author's writing is beautiful, and the two male leads are incredibly likable. However, the villains are ridiculously stupid, and the fact that they didn't die in the end is frustrating. Old Master Zhu's ideas are also bizarre; it seems he only feels satisfied when he's childless.
I didn't finish reading it completely; I skipped through about half. I'll go back and check the details later. I discovered this is the author's second long novel, but her writing skills are already very refined, like a veteran author. I skipped through the plot, and I'll write a review after I finish it.
They're back, they're all back 😭😭😭
May the young couple be happy forever, okay?
