【Rivals to lovers + green tea + favoritism + young master falls from grace】
【Insecure, scheming top * proud, lovesick bottom with a severe blood addiction】
Ling Jue has a severe blood addiction.
Everyone else can manage with suppressants, but the only thing that eases his symptoms is drinking Nangong Ye’s blood.
He hates that whenever an episode hits, he sniffs around for Nangong Ye like a dog. So he never treats Nangong Ye kindly, hurling vicious insults at him, yet he often finds himself bewitched by his looks.
When he suddenly loses his power, all he can do is beg Nangong Ye for help.
He used to find Nangong Ye’s affection disgusting, but now that affection is the only thing keeping him alive.
Only later does Ling Jue learn that Nangong Ye fought in underground boxing matches to buy him suppressants. Nangong Ye is severely anemic, yet he still secretly gives Ling Jue his blood…
“Help me. You’re the only one I can turn to…”
No one will help me. They all want me dead.
“Can’t you tell he’s just playing you?”
“Then at least he’s only playing me, not anyone else.”
Silence.
Silence again.
Forget it. There’s no saving him.
