[ABO + Two male leads + From universally disliked to universally adored + Everyone’s chasing their love interest after losing them]
Jiang Xia had imagined many ways his life might turn out, but never that anyone would cherish him.
His mother abandoned him at a train station when he was three. At seven, he began suffering abuse at the hands of his drunken father. He thought this was how his life would go: rotting in the mud, with no one to pick him up.
The year he turned seventeen, his father finally drank himself to death. Before Jiang Xia could even breathe a sigh of relief, people from the Sheng family came to his door. “Young Master, your mother wants you to come home.”
Ha, Young Master? He was just going to be dependent on someone else in a different place.
But on his first day in the Sheng household, he realized something was wrong…
The arrogant, unreasonable young master was actually possessive to the point of obsession. The aloof senior at school, so cold he seemed incapable of warmth, privately sent him 99 messages: “You didn’t look at me today. It hurts.”
The school’s notorious bully had just beaten someone up, but then crouched in front of him, tugging at his sleeve. “Pat my head. I’ll be good!”
The boy next door smiled gently, yet Jiang Xia found chains and a basement key in his room.
The cheerful, sunny athlete sent him a voice message late at night, his voice breaking with tears: “If you ignore me, I’ll jump off the roof!”
The young head of a business empire didn’t bother to hide his intentions. He cornered Jiang Xia against the wall. “You’re mine. You can’t get away.”
Six madmen, six masks. They were all putting on an act.
Jiang Xia only wanted to escape.
“Please, let me go. I just want to live out my life in peace.”
All six answered in unison: “I won’t allow it.”
Later, Jiang Xia really did “die.”
On the day of the funeral, the six men fell to their knees before his gravestone and wept until they broke down. At last, they had truly gone mad.
But they didn’t know that there were no ashes in the urn.
