[Devoted, wealthy illegitimate son, younger top × melancholic, gentle, kind beauty bottom]
[Two male leads + one-on-one, both each other's first and only + mutual healing + mutual salvation + love at first sight + mutual affection]
Zhao Xiantang (illegitimate son, top) × Li Chengyun (gentle bottom)
The last two people who should ever fall in love are drawn to each other, with one falling at first sight. They know they should not be together, yet they cannot help wanting to get closer.
Top: You obviously like me. Why won't you admit it? What do I have to do for you to accept me?
Bottom: I've fallen for a man, but we can't be together.
He keeps insisting that he doesn't like him, yet when the other is in a humiliating predicament, he'd rather get drunk than leave him to fend for himself.
“Do you know why I'm at your house?”
“I... got drunk, and you brought me home.”
“Why did you drink today?”
“They... they were picking on you.”
“Why would you drink just because they picked on me?”
“I wanted... to protect you.”
“What is Zhao Xiantang to you? Why do you want to protect him?”
“He's the person I like.”
