Synopsis

[Dual Male Leads + Two Alphas + Kept Lover + Younger Man + Reconciliation After a Breakup + Showbiz + One-on-One + Mutual Firsts + Happy Ending]

A CEO who failed at turning bad and instead cries and acts clingy × a celebrity who keeps his lover firmly under his thumb, all while being sharp-tongued but soft-hearted

(PS: The top has a mental illness, the hereditary kind, and there's a confinement scene. The bottom has exes, but they were just casual relationships. He never loved any of them; they were partners in name only, with no intimacy. Please skip if that's a dealbreaker.)

Xu Yan got himself an Alpha boyfriend named Pei Ying.

His friends said two Alphas could never have a happy ending.

As it turned out, they were right.

They broke up on terrible terms. Xu Yan ended things, and Pei Ying deleted every way to contact him and disappeared from his life for good.

Only then did Xu Yan realize just how much he loved him.

Five years later, they met again at a charity gala.

Pei Ying was no longer the Alpha who used to play pitiful so Xu Yan would let him stay the night. He was now the untouchable Mr. Pei, while Xu Yan was a star at the height of his fame.

After the gala, Pei Ying pulled him aside and spent the whole night whispering sweet nothings, taking advantage of the alcohol. The next morning, he turned cold and said viciously, “Weren't you the one who asked to break up?”

After that, he even threw a contract to keep Xu Yan as his lover at him.

But that was the only time Pei Ying managed to act tough.

Xu Yan's first day as his lover: “Try saying that again and I'll cripple you.”

Sugar Daddy Pei: “Why do I suddenly feel a chill...”

Xu Yan's Nth day as his lover: “Will you behave? Say it.”

Sugar Daddy Pei: “Woof.”

Then he staged a rebellion.

The plot is full of twists and turns, and the characters' emotions are vivid and their personalities are unique. The seme has a congenital mental illness, which causes strange influences on the uke, such as imprisonment. There's a scene where the uke asks the seme where he wants to be locked up—in a dark space or in a world just for the two of them.

It's still so cute! The seme's puppy-like personality is so adorable it's almost sickening, and the uke is cute too. Overall, it's more like a sweet treat; there are some angst-filled moments, but they're not particularly heart-wrenching. The occasional bit of angst is just a nice touch. Bae Jung is so incredibly cute!

I didn't finish reading it. Around chapter 30, the protagonist (shou) wasn't replying to messages because he was in his sensitive period. The uke's first thought after finding out was, "Oh, so that's why he's not replying." Hmm, that made me happy. It wasn't like his lover was in his sensitive period and he wasn't around, and was even in quarantine, which would have been much more serious.

I love this kind of sweet story! There's no such thing as unspoken love; love should be expressed loudly. We college students need stories like this to heal us during finals week! 😘😘😘

I don't know why it's not popular. Maybe it's because the mainstream trend on Tomato (a Chinese online literature platform) is all about wish fulfillment. I really like this story; it gives me a sense of slow and steady growth, a feeling of mutual affection where both parties see a lot but don't care. Pei Ying wanted to go public, and Xu Yan never refused.

It's a refreshing read among stories of broken relationships mended together. Unlike some that wait until the middle to reveal their relationship before confessing, it avoids the feeling of being unable to express oneself fully. Furthermore, each character has their own distinct personality, making it very engaging. I'll emphasize this three times: It's great! It's great! It's great!

I finished watching it, and it's incredibly good. The daily life is just so sweet, with plenty of car scenes. It's also very delicious, and it's completely about mutual pampering. I felt so sorry for him when the puppy had his episode, but thankfully his wife spoils him rotten. The part where they asked for it to be banned had me grinning like a lovesick fool.

Because I love you, I am not afraid of you. Even if you are sick, I will still love you. It's a great watch! Both male leads are wonderful, and the plot is fantastic. I highly recommend it! 😘😘😘

They're beautiful, but why have children? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why have children?! Okay, I've read to the next chapter, no more kids! How wonderful! So satisfying!

It's quite good. Pei is very jealous, but the reason isn't because of the constant appearance of cannon fodder around him; it's just his personality—his possessiveness and clinginess. The two are very sweet; the story begins with their reunion, and they implicitly get back together within a few chapters. Then, the fan section of the story made me dizzy and disoriented 😅.
