Xia Shao can't take his hard life anymore, so he decides to find an older man to swindle out of money.

He has no assets to his name, only his looks, so after weighing his options, Xia Shao sets his sights on his old classmate's uncle, Jiang Lin.

Over thirty, unmarried, and childless, he's rumored to like pretty boys.

Most importantly, Jiang Lin is rich, very rich, the richest big shot in all of T City.

With a few clever moves, Xia Shao actually manages to move into the Jiang family home.

Jiang Lin treats him well. He gives him the best food, clothes, and everything else, and even arranges for him to learn new skills. Jiang Lin also takes care of the Jiang relatives who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.

But Jiang Lin never gives Xia Shao much cash, and Xia Shao isn't looking for a lifelong relationship. He just wants cold, hard money.

Xia Shao puts his little brain to work and decides Jiang Lin is so stingy because he hasn't really "taken advantage" of him.

That very night, Xia Shao changes into a pair of low-cut shorts and forces his way into Jiang Lin's bedroom.

Uncle Jiang, Shao Shao is so cold.

His snow-white skin glows in the darkness. Jiang Lin stares at him for a long while, tucks him under three thick quilts, then goes to sleep in the study.

Sweating beneath the three quilts, Xia Shao's face grows red. His little brain starts working again:

The old man must be impotent.

One day, Xia Shao learns that Jiang Lin isn't impotent. He only thinks of Xia Shao as a younger relative. And Jiang Lin isn't nice to him because he's pretty, but because Xia Shao's late father was Jiang Lin's unattainable first love.

One-sided love, and I'm gay while you're straight.

In fact, Jiang Lin acknowledged him as his godson before Xia Shao was even born, promising to look after him for the rest of his life.

The old man he swindled is actually his daddy. Doesn't that mean life is going to get... even better?

Xia Shao immediately puts on his clothes and sweetly calls Jiang Lin "Godfather." He treats him with the utmost respect and filial devotion, hoping Jiang Lin will mention him in his will.

But the more attentive he is, the colder Jiang Lin becomes, and the more fiercely he glares at Xia Shao, making his heart tremble.

A while later, Xia Shao finally understands that he got it wrong. He isn't the son of Jiang Lin's first love. That title belongs to the cousin he hates most, Xia Can.

And Jiang Lin is going to bring Xia Can back to the Jiang family.

Xia Shao tries to out-scheme him twice but fails, so he leaves in disgrace with the check Jiang Lin gives him.

Xia Can is reborn.

In his previous life, after learning that his father was Jiang Lin, the big shot of T City, he went to see him. But his cousin Xia Shao, that little schemer, had impersonated him and was living a life of luxury in the Jiang household.

Xia Can naturally exposed him, but when Jiang Lin learned the truth, he didn't kick Xia Shao out. Instead, Xia Can was kicked out of the Jiang household for failing to frame him.

This time, Xia Can won't act rashly. He puts on a show of resilience and diligence, hoping Jiang Lin will see his first-love father's reflection in him, take pity on him, give him an important role, and even... let him take his father's place in Jiang Lin's heart.

After Xia Can uses a few little tricks, that idiot Xia Shao quickly flees the Jiang household.

Xia Can breathes a sigh of relief and prepares to carry out the second step of his plan, only to be thrown out by Jiang Lin again. This time, he isn't even allowed to stay in T City.

Xia Can can't accept it. "Uncle Jiang, how can you treat me like this? What about my father?!"

Jiang Lin frowns slightly. "What does he matter?"

What?! Wasn't his father Jiang Lin's first love?

Xia Can is about to ask more, but Jiang Lin has already walked away.

It's getting cold. I should buy Shao Shao a chestnut cake.
