A straight man expertly lays a series of traps, sending his own son to the execution block.
The summer he was nineteen was sweltering. Xu Duxian, a rich second-generation heir, met Wen Xuran, whose knight-in-shining-armor complex was in full swing.
Wen Xuran was a really, really good person, but Xu Duxian would rather be his lover than his younger brother.
“You led me into a place where I don’t want to be your younger brother, but I’m not quite your lover either…”
Xu Duxian: nasty-tempered, erratic, sharp-tongued and cold-hearted. Once you get to know him, he’s extremely high-maintenance: a brooding, possessive, yandere ghost of a man.
Wen Xuran: a genuinely good man with a strong sense of responsibility, gentle and considerate, and someone who makes people feel safe. His knight-in-shining-armor complex runs rampant, and he likes protecting everyone.
