Gu Yanzhi has a dream.
In it, he fights to the point of ruin for another woman, has his martial arts crippled, and is left to die in the wilderness.
When he wakes, he scoffs at the dream, until he discovers that whenever the woman gets hurt, his childhood friend Ke Yuci coughs up blood.
He doesn’t know why, but he doesn’t dare take the chance.
So he begins protecting the woman, leaving Ke Yuci, frail and gravely ill, behind.
Ke Yuci sits in the attic and watches him protect her for a whole month.
“If you insist on protecting her,” Ke Yuci says, setting down his teacup. The corners of his eyes are reddened, but his voice is as gentle as if he’s coaxing someone. “Then I’ll let you have your way~ There.”
He turns and walks toward Gu Yanzhi’s sworn enemy, smiling brightly, gentle yet distant.
Gu Yanzhi watches his childhood friend walk away step by step. The special treatment once reserved for him is now given to another man, and Ke Yuci even begrudges him a smile. Gu Yanzhi crushes his wineglass in his fist and finally loses his mind.
But he doesn’t know that every night he turns his back, Ke Yuci hides in the shadows, using his sticky, feverish gaze to slowly trace every inch of his silhouette.
“My dog,” Ke Yuci murmurs, rubbing the lingering warmth on his fingertips. “Why haven’t you come to love me yet?”

I like it, it's super interesting. I like reading novels where both parties are possessive.
