The youngest daughter of the Huo family died in a car accident, leaving behind a husband she had never revealed to the public.
Everyone knew this husband was just a cover for his wife's wild affairs. He'd been cuckolded more times than anyone could count and was the laughingstock of the whole city.
On the day of the funeral, Qiu Yinglian finally appeared. Facing his wife's coffin, he choked up and wept, his body swaying unsteadily.
A hand wrapped around him, steadying his tottering frame.
"Brother-in-law, my condolences."
*
After his wife died, Qiu Yinglian moved into the Huo family home.
He was forced to live with Huo Qihan, the terrifying scion of the Huo family.
People told him that Huo Qihan had taken control of the family at twenty, was ruthless, and couldn't stand even the tiniest flaw. It wouldn't be long before he was thrown out.
Qiu Yinglian: "Oh."
Extra: "Don't you have anything to say?"
Qiu Yinglian gently reminded him, "I don't. If you have anything else to say, you'd better hurry. Mr. Huo is waiting for me."
*
Qiu Yinglian had known since childhood that he wasn't very bright. He was mild-mannered and bad at expressing himself.
But he knew the difference between good and bad.
The people who went out of their way to whisper warnings in his ear weren't necessarily good people. And Huo Qihan, who kept everyone at a distance, wasn't necessarily a bad person.
He only trusted what he saw with his own eyes.
Big Brother Huo looked after him, took care of all the details of his life, taught him how to work step by step, and even helped him build his confidence.
He believed Big Brother Huo couldn't be the notorious devil everyone else described.
Big Brother Huo kissing him had to be for his own good too...
Qiu Yinglian: No!
This isn't right! This isn't how this is supposed to go!
*
Huo Qihan wasn't close to his half-sister.
When she died, he came to pay his respects, but he hadn't expected to see his good-for-nothing brother-in-law.
The young man wore a solemn expression as he gazed at the portrait, as if looking up at a holy statue.
For the first time in his life, Huo Qihan envied the sister he had barely known.
She'd been notorious while alive, yet after her death, someone still held her in their heart...
The man stared at the young man's grief-stricken expression and gave a self-mocking smile.
He wondered if anyone would cry for him when he died.
*
But when Huo Qihan finally took the man who had struggled to hold back his tears at the funeral into his arms,
all he could do was clutch the young man's smooth ankle, lower his proud head, and beg desperately:
"Don't leave me, Qiu Yinglian."
"Please."

Cang Aoqiong was currently the hottest idol in the entertainment industry.
He started out in short dramas, sold products through livestreams, and danced in a boy band. With his extraordinary physical skills, he managed to stand out from a crowd of pretty-faced idols.
He became the undisputed king of action scenes in the Chinese entertainment industry.
They said he never used a stunt double. Some even claimed they had seen Cang Aoqiong fly through the sky and walk on air, just like an immortal.
As Cang Aoqiong's manager, Jiang Chengshi could confirm:
It was all true.
Tsk.
Cang Aoqiong noticed Jiang Chengshi's dark gaze. "What is it? Let's get out of the car."
Jiang Chengshi: ?
Cang Aoqiong fell silent, bent down, and swept him up in a princess carry.
Cang Aoqiong: "Traffic's too slow. We'll fly there."
Jiang Chengshi: "Aaaah! I get airsick! I'm going to throw up!"
*
Jiang Chengshi had considered sending Cang Aoqiong back.
But to send this Dragon-Protagonist back to his own world, he first had to find out where Cang Aoqiong came from.
Jiang Chengshi and Cang Aoqiong searched every Dragon-Protagonist novel on the market.
At last, they found a battered, handwritten novel.
"Record of the Firmament's Destruction"
Jiang Chengshi: "That title sounds familiar."
Cang Aoqiong opened the first page. In childish handwriting, five large characters read--
Author: Jiang Chengshi.
Cang Aoqiong: "...Do you know how miserable my life in that book was?"
Jiang Chengshi: "Uh, I know a little."
*
Jiang Chengshi hated everyone in the world.
Every day, he silently cursed everyone in his head, like a rat hiding in a dark corner, resigned to spending his life in misery.
Until one day, on his way to work, he met a lunatic.
"Hello, could you tell me how to get to the Immortal-Treading Sect?"
Jiang Chengshi glared jealously at the man standing before him. He was 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders, a slim waist, and a cheerful, sunny expression. He was dressed in ancient-style robes.
Another nutcase who was so into acting he'd started playing the part in real life.
"The Immortal-Treading Sect..." Jiang Chengshi said sarcastically. "What, can you cultivate immortality?"
The man grinned. "How did you know? There really are fellow cultivators in this world! This is amazing!"
Jiang Chengshi: Oh no, he's really crazy!
Theme: Even ordinary people have their shining moments
... I didn't expect this plot... The gap is too big, right?
