A cold and aloof, possessive, scheming top who’s sweet only to his lover × a decisive, ruthless bottom who’s tough-mouthed but soft-hearted with him.
Three years ago, Xu Chen said, “You’re nothing but a stepping stone to me.” Then he turned and left, abandoning Lu Chusheng where he stood.
Three years later, Lu Chusheng returns to the country. Xu Chen sneaks over the wall into a private banquet at the Lu residence and, eyes red, asks him, “Gege, will you let me court you again?”
Lu Chusheng retorts, “Why should I?”
Everyone thinks Lu Chusheng hates him. But no one knows that the day Xu Chen removed Lu Chusheng from his blacklist, the chat history was filled with messages he had sent over the past three years, each marked with a red exclamation point.
And no one knows that, in the dead of night in a foreign land, Lu Chusheng stared at the chat window where he could no longer send messages, typed out a whole screen of words, then deleted them one by one.
Lu Chusheng can’t help going soft on Xu Chen. He indulges him time and again, thinking perhaps it’s his destiny to fall in love with Xu Chen.
Xu Chen: “Gege, thank you for pulling me back from hell.”
Lu Chusheng strokes the back of his neck, his voice soft. “You’re my salvation, too.”
