A moral paragon VS a little bit “bad”

A story about “restraint” and “greed.”

After his father had an affair with his younger brother's wife, Bo Zhiyan was branded “the mistress's son.” For twenty-eight years, the words he heard most were “know your place” and “morality.”

Then he met Lin Xi, and found a reason to live again.

But through a twist of fate, she became his childhood friend's fiancée.

From then on, all he could do was watch her from afar.

In Lin Xi's eyes, Bo Zhiyan was a taciturn, repressed man who seemed to live by the Book of Morality.

She couldn't stand seeing him bullied, so she started teaching him to be “bad.”

But as she taught him and looked out for him, she accidentally fell for him.

One bowl of sweet fermented rice dumplings was all it took for Bo Zhiyan to cross the line.

Once he started kissing her, he only wanted more.

For Lin Xi, he was willing to be her secret lover for the rest of his life.

But then his childhood friend happily announced, “Bro, let me introduce you again. This is Lin Xi, my little sister.”

That night, he cornered her by her bedroom door. “The engagement was fake. Why didn't you tell me sooner?”

Lin Xi looked completely innocent. “You never asked. Besides, you seemed pretty happy being the third party, and you even became more outgoing.”

On the first day of their marriage registration, Bo Zhiyan wrote Lin Xi a personalized "Lover's Care Manual".

The first line read: Please kiss Bo Zhiyan, hug Bo Zhiyan, and tell him “I love you” every day.

Lin Xi put down the manual and turned to hug him. “Like this?”

Bo Zhiyan rested his chin in the hollow of her shoulder. “Mm. A little tighter.”

On the day he felt most lost, Lin Xi took his hand.
