Sweet Romance / Mutual Healing / Soft on the Outside, Snarky on the Inside x A Restrained, Patient CEO Who Knows How to Spoil His Lover
To cover his enormous medical bills, Xu Qing sold himself to Zhou Lingyun.
Xu Qing wasn't the sort to dream about a domineering CEO falling in love with him. He only wanted to do his job and keep to his place, then leave cleanly when the time came.
But when he saw the man, he froze. Tall and elegant, he wore a perfectly tailored suit that made him seem untouchable, his expression composed and cold.
"Don't be afraid. I'll go with you."
He'd tell Xu Qing not to act cute, yet indulge every bit of his clinging and coyness. He'd offer him the firmest guidance, tell him what he should and shouldn't do, and say "I love you" in the most lingering voice.
Until one day,
it all shattered like a broken dream.
Xu Qing: "Sir, I like you."
Zhou Lingyun: "Stop messing around. I'm getting married."
So was Xu Qing really nothing more than that to Zhou Lingyun...?

Xu Qing's pride wouldn't let him keep chasing after the man. He made up his mind, grabbed his luggage, and left in the middle of the night.
But before long, the man he remembered as cold, untouchable, and restrained lost control.
