[Two male leads, both devoted and equally strong] [Reunion after years apart + sweet, flirtatious romance + wealthy CEO + pure 1v1 love]

"Steady, scheming, secretly passionate, devoted top × assertive, direct, openly flirtatious, seductive bottom"

Everyone in Xingcheng knew the Mo family's youngest-ever head was decisive and unfathomably cunning.

Any family daring to challenge him always came to a bad end.

Yet the Ji family, newly arrived from Sucheng, kept snatching his projects and thriving.

No one knew that one day, on the top floor of a hotel:

“Ji Changting, you look damn good. I want you.”

“Mr. Mo, so you don't just want my projects. You want to steal me, too?”

“...What are you pretending for?”

Ji Changting came to Xingcheng for his first love from seven years ago.

That person had left behind only a photograph, and even the name was fake.

“Mo Shaocheng, was there anything about you that was real back then?”

“My education. I really did make it to third grade.”

Ji Changting: “...Can I believe you?”

Mo Shaocheng: “You can.”

“Ji Changting, you have to believe me. You can only believe me.”

The Mo family was a whirlpool,

with his father's death, his mother's grave injuries, and his grandfather's schemes...

Mo Shaocheng was a player seated high above the board, and a lonely city unto himself.

Ji Changting was the only place he could rest, and also his most powerful piece.

All Mo Shaocheng had to do was beckon, and Ji Changting would do whatever he said.

Only...

“Acheng, if you want me to behave, you have to reward me first.”

“Acheng, you took my first kiss. You have to give it back.”

“Acheng, I want more...”

“Acheng, darling...”

This big puppy takes the bait at the slightest tug, but he's just so clingy.
