Ye Zhiqiu was radiant and bold, proud and unrestrained, but it wasn't until the brink of death that he realized his entire life had been a deceitful charade. His malicious stepmother alienated him from everyone; his trusted friend betrayed him without mercy; and Qi Xin, whom he loved for so many years, harbored ill intentions from the start, aiming only to ruin his life. For Qi Xin's sake, Ye Zhiqiu suppressed his rebellious nature, abandoned his career and social circle, and became a gentle and understanding lover. Yet, after being drained of all worth and reduced to nothing by psychological manipulation, he received nothing more than a cold divorce notice and Qi Xin's words- "I'm tired. I want to give him a home. Let's get divorced." Ye Zhiqiu finally understood that Qi Xin had always cherished an unattainable love. And he, he was merely a guaranteed win, the perfect substitute for Qi Xin's unrequited love. Carrying all his resentment, Ye Zhiqiu plunged into the icy depths of the lake. When he awoke again, it was ten years in the past. Back at the night he first met Qi Xin. Ye Zhiqiu's revenge began. He stripped his stepmother of everything, sending her biological child to prison, He ruined his friend's future, leaving him disgraced, despised, and cornered, He broke Qi Xin down just as he had been broken, stripping him of dignity and dreams, making him beg at his feet... Qi Xin approached Ye Zhiqiu with malice, never expecting to fall madly in love. He was willing to be the groveling dog at Ye Zhiqiu's feet, the receptacle of his unpredictable ire. But when he frantically searched through the pouring rain, he saw only a black umbrella in the dim light. Underneath, a long, strong arm encircled Ye Zhiqiu's slender waist, pulling him into a car, where he was kissed passionately. And the man holding the umbrella was someone he could hardly dare to imagine.

Lin Zheng transmigrated into a sweet and pampering romance novel, becoming the pitiful cannon fodder receiver-a character known for his taciturn nature, reticence, frequent bullying, and ten years of unrequited love for the male protagonist. While the main couple follows a sweet and pampering storyline, his own path is a blatant tragic romance. According to the plot, he'd date the male protagonist for a while, but after two months, upon the protagonist's meeting with the main receiver, he would be mercilessly abandoned, then ridiculed and driven away to live a miserable life alone. He transmigrated right as he was in a relationship with the male protagonist. When people saw him holding flowers: "They say he got these flowers after relentlessly pursuing Young Master Gu, who reluctantly bought them for him on the roadside." When people saw him waiting for the bus alone: "He must have angered Young Master Gu, who couldn't stand him anymore." When people saw him leaving the cinema alone: "I heard that Young Master Gu is pursuing Young Master Wu's son, probably tired of playing with him." However, the flowers were a carefully chosen gift from Gu Lin, who took time off work to personally select them for Lin Zheng. He was waiting for the bus alone because Gu Lin had upset Lin Zheng, and he refused to get into Gu Lin's car, so Gu Lin followed him in his car the entire way. He left the cinema alone because Lin Zheng said he was cold, and Gu Lin went back to the car to get him a coat. Unseen, Gu Lin held his lover's hand, kissing him lovingly. Everyone: "Wait, wasn't this supposed to be a tragic romance?!" Although Gu Lin treated him well, Lin Zheng noticed that while minor details might change, important plot points related to the main characters seemed unchangeable. He guessed that Gu Lin would still abandon him after two months upon meeting the main receiver. So, he decided to abandon Gu Lin before he met the main receiver, packing his bags and running away.

Lin Shu died tragically in a fire. Before closing his eyes, Lin Shu thought that if there was an afterlife, he would never be a human again. Being a human would be too tiring, and he would be abandoned by his lover, framed by his relatives, and locked in a mental hospital would be worse than death. In the raging fire, carbon monoxide poured into his nostrils. Lin Shu listened to Qin Yuchi's favorite song, thinking that he could finally get relief. He and Qin Yuchi are like two poles of a glacier, never meeting. He and Qin Yuchi are like a magnetic field with the same pole, always repelling each other. Lin Shu knew that they were not suitable, but he didn't believe in evil or fate, he only loved Qin Yuchi, so he tried his best to make Qin Yuchi accept his love by threatening his acting career. So in the end, Lin Shu was sent to a mental hospital and had no peace every night. This was just Qin Yuchi's revenge, the punishment he deserved. At the moment when his breathing stopped, Lin Shu recalled Qin Yuchi's disgusting eyes, looking at him as if he was looking at the dirt in the mud, and suddenly felt that everything was lifeless and meaningless. When closing his eyes, Lin Shu exhausted his last bit of strength and murmured, "I'll let you go, Yuchi." Opening his eyes again, Lin Shu returned to two years ago, the peak of his career, before he met Qin Yuchi.
