Synopsis

[Two Male Leads + Equally Powerful Leads + Wealthy Families + Straight Man Studying for Grad School + Bittersweet Secret Crush + Desperate Pursuit After the Breakup + Both Pure + Happy Ending]

Song Xianshi, the decisive and efficient CEO of Panshi Group, is famous for his explosive temper.

At the slightest disagreement, he’ll kick down a door or smash things.

He’s even sent his own younger brother to the hospital several times.

Yet this volatile man cries until his eyes are red, gives up his dignity and kneels, and even hands over his company, all to win the love of a straight man.

He pursues him so desperately for three years, yet can’t get so much as a glance from him.

Teng Jinan, chief assistant and heir to the Nangang Consortium, is aloof, taciturn, and ruthless.

Three years ago, the old master lost him as a bargaining chip in a bet, and through a twist of fate, he became Song Xianshi’s assistant.

His face made him catch the attention of Song Xianshi, a homophobe who buzzed around him like a male bee.

After being pestered for three years, he wanted to cut Song Xianshi down more times than he could count.

To get revenge, he destroyed the family, career, and love Song Xianshi treasured most.

Until Song Xianshi finally gave up pursuing him.

Later on.

The day Song Xianshi gave up loving Teng Jinan,

Teng Jinan, in his own slow-witted way, fell in love with Song Xianshi.

Clinging to this expired lottery ticket, he couldn’t help drawing closer to Song Xianshi.

But all he could do was helplessly watch as his initiative, attentiveness, and tenderness faded away because he had acted too late.

Panicking completely, he grabbed Song Xianshi’s hand and begged him again and again.

“Could you… please love me one more time…”

Song Xianshi gently pulled his hand away.

“I’m tired. Let me go.”

“Never! I’ll never let you go, even if I die! Song Xianshi, you’ll be mine. You’ll always…”

I like Xixi; she feels like a gentle ray of light. Especially her portrayal of a small person struggling to protect the protagonist despite being threatened, and her willingness to give up in the face of power—it's very realistic, a rich and complex character. I hope he won't be hurt later on.

It's alright, but I still hope it ends badly.

(This is my first book review, and it only represents my personal opinion.) First and foremost, the author's writing style must be acknowledged. This heart-wrenching story is emotionally powerful and leaves the reader feeling deeply frustrated.

Verification complete: Teng Jin'an is a bot; break up with him. Our Shi Shi baby isn't unloved. 🥺 Mom, friends, readers, the author—everyone loves him. He will have everything.

It's really good! I wonder if Xiao west can rise to the top! That Teng guy is practically a bot!

Although I've always liked this kind of story, this is the first one I hope will have a bad ending. I don't understand what triggered Song to fall for Teng again and get together with him, but if the author can wrap things up without forcing it, then never mind. 🤔

It's beautiful, but it makes me inexplicably angry. Couldn't they have replaced Fuji with someone else, and let Ima An be a Japanese person instead? 🙂

This story was full of unexpected twists and turns. I was amused several times while reading it. On one hand, I found it terrifying that Song was being harassed by the two lunatics from the Teng family, but on the other hand, I thought Song and Teng Jin'an were a match made in heaven in some ways... Because of these unexpected elements, I followed it all the way to the end to see what it was all about. [OK]

I really love the dual-strong dynamic, especially the slightly forced love aspect later on. Even though it's a bit twisted, I love it so much! 😏😏

Can't we really change the seme? Even if it's a tragic ending, Ms. Jiang Sheng will still feel sorry for Song Xianshi during those three years, right? 😢😢 Song Xianshi is really, really good; he deserves better.
