Synopsis

Chen Youzai has spent his life being ridiculed for his looks, but he has never let that stop him from living loudly, shamelessly, and on his own terms. After one good deed earns him a mysterious silver coin capable of exchanging one person’s body with another, heartbreak finally pushes him to make a wish: to become the most handsome man in the world. Instead, he wakes in another era, in another man’s body, surrounded by people whose relationships with his new identity are far more complicated than he realizes.

Thrown into a world of nobles, princes, hidden motives, and dangerous affections, Youzai must learn how to survive while untangling the secrets attached to the face he now wears. His strange second life grows increasingly tangled as souls shift, identities blur, and attraction turns into jealousy, obsession, devotion, and betrayal. What began as a ridiculous wish for beauty becomes a journey in which Youzai is forced to confront not only who others believe him to be, but who he wants to become.

As old grudges resurface and murder, revenge, and political intrigue draw him deeper into danger, Youzai discovers that changing his appearance was only the beginning. Beneath the comedy, romance, and chaos lies a story about identity, desire, and transformation, and about a man who wished for a better face only to find himself building an entirely different life.
