What?! The Adorable Beauty I Picked Up Is Sweet on the Outside, Dark on the Inside

Two male leads + sweet on the surface, dark underneath + reunion after a long separation + happy ending A possessive, doting CEO × a crafty schemer who plays dumb Ji Chenzhou, a ruthless business tycoon with an insatiable need for control. He took in Gu Nian, a homeless young man who was beautiful and obedient, with eyes only for him. Ji Chenzhou poured every resource into him, pampering him until no one dared cross him. Everyone said Gu Nian was Mr. Ji's greatest creation, and a canary who couldn't live without him. Gu Nian was indeed “obedient,” using Ji Chenzhou's influence to quietly set his revenge in motion. He thought his performance was flawless. Until one day, Gu Nian's enemy came to Ji Chenzhou and slammed a stack of evidence onto the table: “Mr. Ji, the person you're protecting is nothing but a con artist using you as a stepping stone!” Only then did Ji Chenzhou realize that every trace of dependence and gentleness the young man had shown was a carefully planned act. He held Gu Nian captive in his arms, his eyes dark with an approaching storm: “Tell me, is what he said true?” Gu Nian looked up at him, shedding every disguise for the first time. His gaze was cold and resolute: “Yes. Ji Chenzhou, you're just the most useful piece on my chessboard.” Later, after Gu Nian had taken his revenge, he vanished without a trace. The man who had once looked down on all humanity went completely mad, using every resource at his disposal and scouring the entire world to find him. When Ji Chenzhou finally cornered him in a dark alley, the once-arrogant business tycoon stared at him with bloodshot eyes, his voice hoarse: “You used me and now you think you can run? Who gave you the nerve...” “Come back... I'll give you everything I have. Even my life is yours.”
