(Don’t read, this is my embarrassing old work) Gentle young master uke × steady CEO seme|Both devoted to each other · reunited after a breakup
"One glance in childhood, a lifetime of scheming for your heart"
The Ci and Ji families have been entangled for a century, bound by interest and sharpened by affection. Outsiders marvel at their closeness, unaware of the undercurrents beneath the calm surface.
Ji Sinian was cold from childhood. Even his parents saw him as the family’s perfect “machine,” until five-year-old Ci Qinglan tugged at his sleeve and lit up the silent Ji family home with his laughter.
He was the only unexpected turn in Ji Sinian’s more than twenty years of living by the rules.
A forced marriage arranged by his parents, the tangled schemes of the great families: Ji Sinian tore up the engagement with ruthless force, but couldn’t break the chains binding their families together. “Qinglan, wait for me.” He pushed him out of the storm and swallowed every blade alone.
But Ci Qinglan never accepted his fate.
He shed his innocence and concealed his obsession beneath a gentle demeanor. When he brushed past Ji Sinian at a business banquet, he smiled. “Brother Sinian, you taught me that everything I want… will be mine.”
“The Ji family wants propriety. I’d rather be outrageous.” He kissed him.
“I should have gone mad long ago.” He clasped his waist and let reason crumble to ash.
From childhood friends to enemies, from separation to surrender.
In the end, even fate could only sigh: “You were made for each other.”
