(Two male leads + equally strong leads + CEO + younger man + secret identity revealed + identity reversal + turning a straight man gay + pitiful character + angst)
His father didn’t care for him, his mother didn’t love him, and his younger brother was an ungrateful leech.
Unwelcome by his family since childhood, he made a name for himself in his own field. He believed there was nothing money couldn’t solve, so when he saw Yan Qizhen desperate and out of options because he needed money, he offered him a helping hand.
Yan Qizhen was straight, but his predicament left him with no choice. He ate Song Zhiyi’s food, lived under his roof, and used his money. But in the end, Song Zhiyi raised himself a heartless ingrate.
Later, after Yan Qizhen had made enough money working for him, he turned around and disappeared. When they met again months later, Yan was wearing a bespoke suit and driving a luxury car worth millions. He had transformed into the youngest son of a real estate tycoon.
