Yu Yuan suffers from social anxiety.
He blushes easily, stutters and trembles when nervous, prefers texting to face-to-face communication, and dreams of living in seclusion. However, his newly reunited parents sell him into a top-tier wealthy family, making him a substitute for the fake young master in a marriage to bring good fortune to the Gu family heir.
That night, Yu Yuan dreams that he’s living in a melodramatic novel, where the fake young master is the protagonist and he’s just a stepping stone, cannon fodder.
His husband dies a few days after the wedding, and the Gu family patriarch, filled with hatred, forbids him from ever leaving the Gu family compound, punishing him to suffer a lonely old age and die in the villa.
Yu Yuan: Not going out, dying alone, and in a big villa… is this punishment?
This is clearly the job he’s always dreamed of!!!
On their wedding night, the pale man lying on the bed had a cold, sinister gaze.
No one knew that Gu Shaocheng had come back from the dead, and this time he was the one to initiate the divorce.
The young man, who in his past life had resorted to any means to leave him, now shook his head repeatedly, his eyes red and his body trembling.
The man was expressionless: “This body of mine can’t give you anything…”
Yu Yuan was determined to defend his dreams to the death, but he was so anxious that he could only manage to stammer, “No, no divorce!” before fleeing in panic.
The man frowned coldly, wondering how long he could keep up the act.
But he soon realized something was wrong…
Yu Yuan saw a room full of maids nearly die on the spot and mustered up the courage to request that they be dismissed: “I, I want to take care of you myself.”
Gu Shaocheng, who was planning to eliminate the spies in the villa, said: “…Okay.”
Taking care of a patient alone was much better than facing a room full of people, but Yu Yuan loved being alone too much, and every time he closed the door, he would dance wildly with excitement.
Gu Shaocheng, who happened to be watching the security camera, was speechless.
Later, his secretary reported, “Mr. Gu couldn’t get through to you and Madam, so he went to your door and found the doorbell that Madam had cut. He mistakenly thought it was intentional and, in a fit of rage, started banging on the door. He was dragged away by the security guards…”
Gu Shaocheng paused for a moment, then suddenly chuckled, “He’s so cute.”
Secretary: ???

Yu Yuan diligently planning to saw him off, but Gu Shaocheng grew more energetic every day.
Watching him not only eliminate his rivals and regain his dominance in the business world, but also treat him…
Yu Yuan choked up: This plot isn’t what we expected!
The secretary sent a message: “Madam, Mr. Gu has been waiting outside for three days.”
Yu Yuan: “…Has he admitted his mistake?”
Secretary: “No, Mr. Gu said if you don’t reply to his messages, he’ll bombard your phone with calls.”
Yu Yuan QAQ: What the heck?!
