Lin Yanqing is a pampered young heir born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His only trouble in life is that his online boyfriend isn't quite right in the head.
His boyfriend is always video-calling him from tourist attractions while dressed in ancient-style clothes, referring to himself as “this humble one” and “your young scholar,” calling him Young Master Lin, and randomly composing poems to declare his love.
Every day, it makes Lin Yanqing's face burn, and he screams internally: Whose boyfriend is this ancient-style drama queen?!
But whenever he sees his boyfriend's handsome face, he decides he can stick it out a little longer.
Xie Zhuo thought he would spend his whole life walking through endless darkness. Then, one day, while serving penance in an icy spring, he saw a young man's image appear on the jade pendant he carried.
Though dressed in rags, the young man had a face like polished jade, beautiful beyond compare.
As Xie Zhuo stared in a daze, the boy smiled and asked, “Hey, handsome, want to be my online boyfriend?”
By sheer coincidence, Lin Yanqing discovers that his online boyfriend really isn't from the modern world. He's the villainous male supporting character in a cultivation novel, written as a foil to the male lead.
Lin Yanqing opens the latest chapter and sees Xie Zhuo calmly slaughter an entire sect of enemies, then use their corpses to make poisonous gu, his eyes burning with madness...when his phone rings with a video call.
Xie Zhuo gazes at him through the screen, his eyes gentle as water. “Sorry, baby. I had to take care of a little thing today, so I was late calling you.”
“...”
Lin Yanqing thinks it over all night. The next day, he finds the web-novel author and slaps a bank card down on the table.
“Here's five million. One: stop giving your damn destiny to Xie Zhuo. Two: write me into the novel, and let me decide how.”
From then on, Lin Yanqing spends every night transmigrating into the book. In the cultivation world, rumors spread that Xie Zhuo's dao companion is even more terrifying than he is. Every disciple of the immortal sects knows that this couple is no good.
Then Lin Yanqing fails to appear for a week because of his graduation thesis. The author finds him in a panic. “This is insane...I can't control it...”
Lin Yanqing returns home, only to be suddenly pinned against the wall by someone. Then he meets a pair of eyes more fervent than ever before.
“So this is your world.”
