Zhong Yunshen has a secret he can never bring himself to speak of: his younger brother, Zhong Yunqian, is a thoughtless fool and a gambler who can't control himself. To get out of a shady company's contract and pay off his brother's debts, Zhong Yunshen has no choice but to strike a deal with Li Beizhi, the president of the Li Corporation. He thinks Li will force him, keep him as a lover, or even lock him up. But on the very first day they meet, Li says, “I've loved you for five years.”
Li Beizhi had considered letting his love quietly grow unchecked, but in the end he deliberately schemed to get close to him. After all, he had given Zhong Yunshen time to marry and start a family.

“He was like a beam of sunlight in the deep sea, hurting him even as it lit up his world.”
