Cool and proud on the outside, but loves him with all his heart and feels unworthy of his love, bottom × a wolfdog top who doesn't understand love, only knows how to take by force, and doesn't care about anyone else's feelings
Du Yunsu × Bian Zuo
Bian Zuo first saw Du Yunsu at a banquet. He had just taken over the family business and was at the height of his success. People outside said he was worth over a hundred million despite his young age.
At the banquet, he saw someone he wanted to bring home.
Du Yunsu looked much younger than he was. If a friend hadn't introduced them, Bian Zuo never would have guessed that the man was older than him.
But Du Yunsu was exactly his type. He wanted to take him home, but the Du family was a rising force and well-known in City A.
Still, they didn't amount to much in the eyes of an old-money family like his.
Bian Zuo remembered his father's advice: if you see someone you like, bring them home, whether they want to come or not.
In a civilized society, you do civilized things.
So Bian Zuo held back for three years and spent those years plotting. He brought down the Du family, then reached out to help them. The business world only knew that Bian Zuo had nobly helped the Du family, while the Du family knew they had kept the company afloat by selling their son.
Bian Zuo got both the man and the reputation. He was even better at scheming than his father, who had never cared much about his reputation when it came to love.

Later, Bian Zuo realized he loved Du Yunsu's pride, which belonged to him alone. But he loved Du Yunsu even more after that pride had been broken.
