Gu Shiyu and He Yanchuan share a bond between an older man and a younger one, twelve years apart.
Every tender approach of his was part of a long-planned scheme, waiting only for He Yanchuan to willingly take one step in, then sink deeper with every step.
He Yanchuan's soft heart made him believe the man's fabricated story of hardship:
An absent father, a sick mother, a frail little sister. The young man was buried in debt, on the verge of dropping out with nowhere to turn.
Moved by compassion, he took him in, giving him food and clothes, showering him with affection and offering him his whole heart. He even considered adding the man's name to his household registration.
Then the truth tore through the disguise.
The poor soul he had held in the palm of his hand was actually the youngest son of his family's greatest rival, hidden away from the world.
His true feelings had been misplaced, and the deception was over.
Would they part forever and never see each other again, or would he cling to him obsessively and lock him at his side for good?
