Fictional setting
Two male leads + revenge + lovers who fight each other + angsty Republican-era romance
He returns from studying abroad, hoping to rekindle an old flame, only to discover that his ex-boyfriend has become his stepmother. What is he supposed to do?
Furious, he confronts him again and again, demanding to know why he abandoned him. He hurls one cruel remark after another, wounding the other man and himself in the process. But the other man remains unmoved, accepting it all without a struggle. He offers neither an explanation nor a rebuttal. Later, he wonders if he should let the past go after all. He wants to put their grievances behind them and make a life together.
But even though he wants to start over with him, what happened seven years ago remains like a thorn in Shen Huaijin’s throat. He can neither bring himself to hate the man wholeheartedly nor be with him without reservations.
So the two can only keep hurting and pulling at each other amid their tangled feelings...
“Gu Yunzhou, I really want to kill you...”
“Mm, I know. If that’s what you want, then I’ll let you.”
