A crazy, gloomy, ghostly Enigma gong x a sharp-tongued but softhearted, clear-eyed, money-loving Alpha shou
Duan Xiao awakened to the truth: he was a disposable shou in a book.
His boyfriend and sugar daddy, Qin Yi, had carried a beloved white moonlight in his heart for years.
Duan Xiao was only a substitute. When the white moonlight returned, jealousy would drive him to frame them. Qin Yi would find out and kick him out, and he would die miserably on the street.
It took Duan Xiao just ten minutes to process the news. He hadn't set out to be anyone's kept lover in the first place.
His family had gone bankrupt, his mother had died young, and his father had jumped from a building because he couldn't bear the enormous debts.
He was just a rich kid who knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. To pay off the debt, he had to work at a club, where he ran into Qin Yi, a former classmate.
Drunk, he joked with Qin Yi, "Rich people keep lovers on the side, right? Why not give me a shot? I'm an Alpha, and I'm great in bed."
He forgot what Qin Yi said. When he woke up the next day, Qin Yi had paid off all his debts and bought back the house where he used to live with his parents, giving it to him.
Qin Yi had treated him so well; he couldn't be ungrateful. Duan Xiao counted the eight digits in his bank account and calmly packed his bags, ready to make room for the real love of Qin Yi's life.
Qin Yi's perspective: I don't know what happened to my wife. He suddenly doesn't want me anymore.
Duan Xiao: It's for survival.
