[World-weary beauty of a director vs. sunny, cheerful ray of sunshine | Ji is the bottom, Jiang is the top | Younger man/older man | Neither is sexually inexperienced | Healing]
The first time Jiang Jie saw Ji Shunian, five years ago, he didn't yet know what love at first sight was. He only thought that the man standing on the deck, his hair tousled by the sea breeze, looked so disheveled and fragile, like a butterfly with a broken wing. So beautiful.
Ji Shunian leapt into the sea, and Jiang Jie jumped in after him. He secretly kissed the butterfly.
From then on, he dreamed of him every night.
Five years later, Jiang Jie finally arrives in Jingzhou. Seeing Ji Shunian again makes his long-sealed heart pound wildly once more.
But Ji Shunian doesn't remember him.
He is a little sun in Ji Shunian's cold world, but he's also the culprit behind Ji Shunian's painful memories.
Ji Shunian, I need you to like me so, so much before I dare tell you that I've loved you for a long time.

Ji Shunian comes from one of Jingzhou's most powerful families. His temper is like a stone in a latrine, foul and hard as rock. Arrogant and self-important, he'd love to run over the whole world.
The moment he meets Jiang Jie, Ji Shunian knows they're alike.
A beautiful face attracts him more than an interesting soul.
Ji Shunian readily accepts Jiang Jie's flirtatious hints.
He assumes Jiang Jie is no different from all the others trying to use him to climb the social ladder, and that he has everything under control.
Little does he know that from the very beginning, he's fallen into a web spun by Jiang Jie.
Jiang Jie lures him deeper, step by step, until Ji Shunian is like a trapped beast.
When the clouds part and the truth comes to light, he has already been locked away in a prison called “Jiang Jie,” and has long since surrendered willingly.
Jiang Jie, if you're going to lock me up, find me a pretty pair of shackles.
Redemption article. The author's writing style is quite good. It is also an unexpected joy that I found. It is not surprising that Jiang Jiang can become Ji Shunian's redemption. I hope it will not be too cruel later.
