Synopsis:
Ten years ago, Chen Xinchi was abandoned by the whole world.
His father ran off to escape his debts, and his mother worked herself to death. He had no home left.
He was a nobody from the urban village, bullied and despised, met with cold stares wherever he went.
Yet the arrogant young master, proud beyond all reason, fixated on this prickly stray dog.
But instead of bullying him, he ended up flat on the ground, beaten.
He meant to humiliate the other man, but wound up picking up the pieces of his own shattered pride.
Qi Jing thought he was the hunter. He never expected to be the first one to fall.
Ten years later, the two meet again.
Chen Xinchi is covered in old injuries and worn down to the bone, with nothing left but his stubborn refusal to bow his head.
Qi Jing is now a powerful man high above everyone else. Driven by a grudge and an obsession, he offers Chen Xinchi a cold contract.
"Sign it, and you're mine."
Chen Xinchi wants to laugh. He grabs Qi Jing by the tie. "Sure. If you want to play, I'll play along to the very end."
He wants Chen Xinchi to bow his head, but Chen Xinchi drags him down with him.
But in the end...
Qi Jing is the one who holds him close and coaxes him every day.
Qi Jing is the one who sneaks in a little affection in the middle of the night.
And Qi Jing is still the one who, eyes red, says, "Don't you dare leave."
Leaning against the bed, Chen Xinchi lights a cigarette and can't help wondering:
...What happened to the cold, heartless sugar daddy he was promised?
