(Readers from certain regions may find this awkward or uncomfortable, so please leave if that's you.) A melodramatic story.
[Fatherly, rational but a little childish top ✘ dull-seeming, actually unhinged and formidable undercover bottom]
Ming Shi ✘ Lang Qian. Primarily from the bottom's perspective. A half-sweet, half-sour taste, with a little angst.
Prompt: Brother, remember this: entrusting my child to you does not mean I'm giving you my son as a wife!
Lang Qian is a blockhead.
He was only eight when Ming Shi picked him up from a pile of corpses.
And then he was entrusted to him.
A blockhead is good. Blockheads are more obedient.
From then on, he stayed by Ming Shi's side, under strict instruction and with clear rewards and punishments.
He was highly capable and eventually became Ming Shi's head attendant and all-purpose assistant.
To put it bluntly, he risked his life for him while doubling as his nanny.
Even after all that, the young master still fell for him.
Well, father and son do have similar tastes.
Lang Qian was at a loss.
He thought, he worked hard without complaint and was willing to risk his life for him.
So why did he have to give up a kidney too?
It wasn't a kidney.
Lang Qian suddenly understood: ?
At the same time, as their feelings deepened, the truth began to emerge.
Had Ming Shi come to provide support back then, or to confirm whether Lang Qian's father was dead?
Meanwhile, the undercover operation was plagued by one crisis after another.
As Ming Shi sat before him, tapping a knife against his own face,
Lang Qian was still wondering:
Was he the one who walked into the wrong room after getting drunk that night?
Proceed with caution: they are not mutually exclusive. Fourteen-year age gap. The top is not a virgin and is divorced with a son. Major status gap between top and bottom. The top gets divorced after about a dozen chapters. The top and his wife were seeing other people from the start.
