A Bone-Deep Reunion: The Sickly Tycoon Says One Thing and Means Another

[Sickly, powerful top x gentle, devoted bottom] [Second chance at love + groveling husband chasing his wife + two strong leads team up to punish villains]

Six years ago, Shen Jin was caught in a deadly power struggle within his family. His only love, Gu Qichi, left him a cruel letter and disappeared without a word.

The double blow left the decisive business tycoon with severe myocardial strain and chronic stomach disease. He spent most of his time recuperating in a private villa and rarely appeared in public. The string of sandalwood prayer beads on his left wrist, which Gu Qichi had prayed for, had stayed there for six years without ever leaving his side.

Six years later, Gu Qichi returned to the country as an internationally renowned architectural designer. Setting aside all his pride and dignity, he relentlessly forced his way back into Shen Jin's life.

Shen Jin coldly said, "I don't know him. Get him out," but that very night, he stared at Gu Qichi's file until his heart condition flared up. He stubbornly said, "Don't touch me," yet unconsciously leaned into Gu Qichi's arms when his stomach acted up. He warned him, "Don't show your face again," but grabbed his hand on a stormy night and pleaded, "Don't go."

Only then did Gu Qichi understand that the protection that had forced him to leave had become a knife buried in Shen Jin's heart for six years. Shen Jin also discovered that Gu Qichi had never gone a day without thinking of him in all those years. After uncovering the whole truth, Gu Qichi had fought his way back to make amends.

When the plot from six years ago came to light and the mastermind struck again, the two went from "you chase, I run" to joining forces as equals. At last, Shen Jin understood: he had never been abandoned. He was the one Gu Qichi had fought with all his might to protect.
