[Male-male romance + obsessive top + dissociative identity disorder + happy ending + groveling romance]
Jiang Xubai is tired of the world of romantic liaisons, but a teasing remark from his friend Shan Yu makes him fall for Xie Yanzhi, the icy CEO of the Xie Group.
After seeing his photo for the first time, Jiang Xubai sets his sights on him and becomes his personal “stomach guardian”: massaging his abdomen and pressure points when his stomach hurts, bringing him warm porridge late at night, and tending to him day and night in the hospital. Everyone thinks it's just a game to him, but only Jiang Xubai knows that the tenderness hidden in the subtle patterns of his suit has already woven itself into a web of love.
Beneath the straight CEO's poker face is a lonely man, worn down by stomach problems and accustomed to keeping everyone at a distance. Jiang Xubai spends three months offering warmth to an ice-cold heart, only to suddenly hear one day that “Xie Yanzhi is getting engaged.”
“Mr. Xie, I wish you and your fiancée... a lifetime together.” As he turns away, he doesn't see the man's knuckles go white as he crushes his fountain pen.
“Are you giving up?” A fingertip lifts the other's chin. “Listen carefully: you're the one who fell for me first. Don't even think about running away now!”
This is a slow-burn story with a gentle, steady pace. Please don't flame it if it's not your thing.
It's very beautiful, but I feel so distressed later 😢😢
