An aloof general in public, sharp-tongued in private, and absurdly fragile around his lover, all while pretending to be tough × a gentle, good-natured adjutant who is a devoted, obsessive fan and loves him without a second thought

General Chu of the Acaleno Star System Federation had a strikingly handsome face with an naturally cool aura. He was aloof and never smiled, treating everyone with icy indifference. Almost everyone in the star system assumed he was destined to spend his whole life alone.

Even Chu Jilan thought so himself.

But miracles do happen. The person he had spent twenty-one years searching for came to his side, warm and understanding, and confessed his love to him.

One man, who was nothing like he appeared, frantically tried to convince himself: No, no. Being with an ice block like me would be far too unfair to him. He deserves someone better.

Before long, the tormented general gazed at his adjutant with tear-filled eyes. “Please, please, be with me and love me.”

It took Chu Jilan just one second after figuring things out to switch from “General Chu, who has renounced love” to “Chu Jilan, hopelessly in love.”

From then on, Chu Jilan embarked on a daily mission to shatter his own carefully cultivated image.

Later, someone snapped a photo of General Chu strolling through a night market hand in hand with his boyfriend. He pulled the young man into his arms, shielding him from every direction so nobody could touch him.

After the whole internet saw the photo, he openly admitted: “That's right. My adjutant, Mr. Yu Kai, is my boyfriend and the partner I'll marry and spend my life with.”

His verified account replied right away: “I look forward to your guidance from now on, Mr. Chu.”
