Ji Yan (Duan Xingyan) grew up with his mother after his parents divorced when he was young. When she died, he had no family left. Only then did his biological father, Ji Tian, endure the pressure of public opinion and bring home the son he had neglected for years, caring for him attentively.
But Ji Yan felt this was where the nightmare began.
Ji Yan (Duan Xingyan) first met his half-brother at the engagement banquet for Ji Xingbao and Huo Siyuan, the eldest young master of the Huo family.
Rumor had it that the young master of the Huo family was ruthless and decisive, a man everyone in A City avoided and treated with utmost respect. He would risk his life for Ji Xingbao and crush anyone who hurt him. In the eyes of the Ji family, he was the perfect son-in-law, and the only person who could save them from ruin.
Yet on the wedding day, Ji Xingbao somehow ran off with the man she had secretly loved for years. Unable to withstand the Huo family's fury, the Ji family had no choice but to push Ji Yan (Duan Xingyan) forward as a scapegoat, sending him to take Ji Xingbao's place as the groom.
Ji Yan (Duan Xingyan) thought that getting married would make his life better, or at least that it couldn't be worse than life with the Ji family. But on his very first day at the Huo home, Huo Siyuan dumped a basin of cold water over him. Ji Yan suddenly felt that life had been playing tricks on him all along.
He thought his life would keep getting worse, until one day Ji Xingbao suddenly returned to Huo Siyuan's side. Watching the two of them looking so happy and in love, Ji Yan (Duan Xingyan) suddenly felt an aching sadness.

1. A cold and aloof top who looks down on him at first, then turns clingy like a leech x a neglected bottom whose father doesn't love him, whose mother is gone, and who keeps all his pain bottled up
Huo Siyuan x Ji Yan (Duan Xingyan)
2. There's some angst early on. The top likes the bottom's younger brother, but when the younger brother runs away from the wedding, he has no choice but to settle for marrying someone he doesn't love and spending his life with him.
3. The bottom won't keep putting up with everything. He's naturally good-tempered, but that doesn't mean he never gets angry.
4. One-on-one, happy ending, no love rivals. When the bottom runs away, the top will realize how important he is and desperately pursue him.
Super nice.
