After My Clumsy Seduction, I Fled in Panic, but Mr. Cen Was Already Smitten

[HE + Older Partner + Age Gap + Angst Before Sweetness + Identity Reversal]

Content warning: The bottom suffers a little in the beginning, but only for a few chapters.

A powerful older dominant who wants absolute control vs. a beautiful, self-aware seducer.

Debt collectors are waiting downstairs, and his younger sister is short 82,000 yuan for her hospital bills.

With nowhere else to turn, Li Yang’s only lifeline is Cen Lou, the man at the top.

But he can only approach him clumsily. His hand shakes so badly when he tries to light a cigarette that he can’t get it lit. He kneels in the hallway, clutching the other man’s pant leg, and after taking the initiative to kiss him twice, passes out from exhaustion.

But just as their relationship begins to heat up, he discovers the truth:

Everyone who tried to climb this high branch had three broken bones in their legs, their front teeth knocked out, and had been hung up in midair for hours.

In a panic, he flees, thinking that if he runs fast enough, he might still survive.

Behind him, the man who had watched him in silence finally speaks:

“Too late.”

Another man in power grips Cen Lou’s wrist and declares coldly:

“He’s mine.”

His childhood sweetheart presses his face against his hand.

“Thank you... Master.”
