The young lord has had his eye on the young master next door for ages, but the young master just doesn’t get it. What’s he supposed to do? Is he going about it the wrong way?
Song Qiruo has always thought that Li Wanxu is just teasing him for fun. Whenever he has something to say, it’s always, “Ruo, my dear...”
“Ruo, my dear, how could you treat a young lady like that...?”
“Ruo, my dear, your father actually didn’t break your legs for that...”
“Ruo, my dear, girls are meant to be cherished. You’re meant to be held up in my heart!”
“Ruo, my dear, this young lord will keep you company in your celibacy...”
“Ruo, my dear, what woman, what wife? None of them is as good-looking as you...”
But only after Li Wanxu leaves does Song Qiruo realize that the man who wears a different face for everyone has borne every storm for his sake. That is when Song Qiruo finally understands that all he has left in this world is Li Wanxu...
Thousands upon thousands of times, Li Wanxu has wanted to tell Song Qiruo, “Ruo, my dear, why don’t we run away together? Forget what happens to this troubled world. I can let go of my grudges, and we can adopt a few orphans... Let’s stay together for the rest of our lives, all right?”
But every time the words reach his lips, Li Wanxu gives up. The person he loves is as radiant as the moon and must live among the clouds. How could he drag him down into the dust with him? So Li Wanxu would rather simply protect him. As long as he is safe, that is enough.
[The shameless author, Jin, offers a sly review: Excuses, all excuses! The young lord is just too cowardly! And really, is the young lord even the top?]
Flamboyant, scheming, cowardly young lord seme VS seemingly aloof, pure-hearted young master uke

The finale is such a shame, but luckily there are extras.
There are few books that can make me cry and still want to continue reading. The past events of the two protagonists in this book are the first one.
No one in the whole book has a happy ending, they are tortured from beginning to end
