The Tycoon's Young Master's Shared Study Companion

[I don't even know what I wrote. Don't read it 🥲]

Lin Qi is the son of a servant in the Lu family, but he has a face that attracts far too much attention.

He grew up dependent on others, using his obedience and docility to obtain the hard-won feeling of safety he craved.

Because he was so well-behaved, the old master of the Lu family treated him like his own child, and the madam loved him as if he were her own.

Even the Lu family's young heir, usually cold and distant toward everyone, would be the only one at the dinner table to put food in his bowl, watching him eat with his cheeks puffed out.

He would even kneel on one knee to put adorable little socks on him.

Thanks to this special treatment, he became the most unusual "companion student" in wealthy society.

He read with the young master of the Qin family, brewed tea for the young master of the Lin family, and listened to the Shen heir's unspoken worries.

They would say, "He's just a little companion student."

But in private, they'd urge him in hoarse voices, "It's my turn today, isn't it?"

Before the young master Lu left to study abroad, he held Lin Qi by the chin and made him promise: "Be good and wait for me to come back."

But Lin Qi waited and waited. He waited so long that he thought the young master would never return, that he had forgotten him.

He was too afraid of being alone... So when other people's warmth came his way, he accepted it without understanding what it meant.

He had once been a secret shared by several people, carrying the traces of different men and receiving forbidden kisses and brief affection.

**

He thought he would go on living this indistinct life forever.

Until the day the young master Lu returned.

The banquet hall blazed with light. The man appeared as though all the stars were gathered around him, and his gaze crossed the crowd to land coldly on Lin Qi.

Lin Qi's face turned deathly pale at once, his fingertips icy. He instinctively wanted to hide. The man had seen him, seen the suit on his body that belonged to someone else, seen the person standing beside him.

The young master Lu walked toward him, step by step

Under the silent gaze of the entire room, he actually bent down and tied Lin Qi's shoelace, which had come undone at some point.

Then the young master Lu looked up. His voice was doting, yet it made Lin Qi tremble.

"Be good. Didn't I tell you to wait for me?"

*

Lu Jingheng still remembers the first time he saw Lin Qi.

A tiny, fair-skinned boy, barefoot and wearing oversized old clothes, hiding in a corner of the kitchen as he carefully ate a little cold leftover food.

Hearing footsteps, Lin Qi looked up in alarm, cheeks still puffed out. His beautiful, moist eyes were full of fear and an attempt to please.

At that moment, for the first time, the pampered young heir felt a strange emotion rise in his heart

So pretty.

I want to keep him.

And... why is he afraid of me?

*Lu is the true male lead, but the recipient will have romantic storylines with other people. Both the pursuer and the male supporting characters are pure.

*Everyone has feelings for the recipient, but they are unrequited.

How to Make an Untouchable Beauty Fall from His Pedestal

[Beautiful, wicked recipient × genuinely untouchable yet devoted pursuer]

Q: How do you make an untouchable beauty fall from his pedestal?

A: I beckoned, and down he came (innocent).

Yu Luo is wicked by nature and never does anything good. He's a notorious bad student.

Zhou Xuyan is an untouchable beauty by popular consensus: top grades, cold, sharp features, never gets close to anyone, and Yu Luo's neighbor.

Every day on his way to school, Yu Luo sees the clean-cut boy cycling there.

Later, Zhou Xuyan confesses to him.

Yu Luo finds it amusing, so he says yes. He pretends to be good in front of this top student, teases him like a dog, and enjoys watching him make exceptions and willingly fall from his pedestal for his sake.

Until the Yu family goes bankrupt and everyone turns against him, while Zhou Xuyan remains that untouchable beauty.

Yu Luo feels the difference between them and grows annoyed.

But Zhou Xuyan keeps clinging to him, driving him crazy. Yu Luo splashes wine in his face. "Get this straight. I've never been a good person!"

With filth all over him, Zhou Xuyan kneels on one knee and wipes the wine stains from Yu Luo's shoes.

When he looks up, his gaze is calm, and his voice is hoarse. "I know. I've known since the first time you put on an act in front of me."

*

Years later, at a lavish banquet.

The once-untouchable beauty is now a legend in the business world, while Yu Luo has become the most beautiful and obedient "lover" at his side.

At the banquet, Zhou Xuyan gives him a look, and his little lover obediently steps forward to serve him tea and water, docile beyond compare.

In the shadows where no one can see, Zhou Xuyan gently squeezes Yu Luo's fingers beneath the table. When Yu Luo doesn't give him an annoyed look, the corners of his mouth lift ever so slightly.

Inside the mansion late at night.

The little lover Yu Luo walks barefoot across the expensive carpet, uses the tip of his shoe to lift Zhou Xuyan's chin, and asks nonchalantly, "Does it feel good to order me around and make me serve you tea?"

Before he can answer, Yu Luo lightly slaps his lips. "What are you smiling about?"

Zhou Xuyan holds his ankle and lowers his head to kiss his cold instep.

"Not even one ten-thousandth as good as this," Zhou Xuyan says seriously, looking at him.

"..."

Later, Yu Luo happens to open an old medical record. It's dated ten years ago, when he had just started middle school.

Beneath the diagnosis of severe depression is a line of beautiful handwriting:

I met a vibrant life, as beautiful as the sun.

Roses in the sunshine.

My Yu Luo.

I followed the rules all my life. My only act of rebellion was stepping down from my pedestal for you.

And I did it willingly.

*From school to the workplace

*One is willing to fight, the other willing to take it

*All characters are adults

*One-on-one, both physically pure (important)

The Wicked Deserve Their Match

Everyone knows the Zhang family's forbidden grounds: the cold pool behind the mountain.

Rumor has it a monster that devours human flesh is imprisoned there. Only the new head of the family must enter alone and undergo three months of trials. When he returns, he is sure to be reborn, and will never marry, serving only the family for the rest of his life.

This secret has been passed down for a thousand years, but only the successive heads of the family know the truth: there is no monster by the pool, only a beautiful man in white, cursed by the gods.

He is dazzlingly beautiful. One sweep of his eyes is enough to make anyone lose their heart and soul and devote themselves to him completely.

The Zhang family exploits this "curse" to make every head of the family fall in love with him and thus remain loyal to the clan.

So he has spent his days in these mountains, accompanying one generation after another. He has listened to their words of love and watched them leave in the end.

In the thousandth spring, the freedom promised by the gods finally arrives.

The barrier around the mountain quietly disappears.

Wearing a veil and posing as a scholar disfigured in an accident, he returns to the Zhang family to see the fruits of the thousand years he has devoted to them.

With the curse gone, he can finally be free, study normally, make friends, eat, drink, and have fun.

Xie Qingyan nods with satisfaction. Not bad, not bad. I finally don't have to put on an act.

What he doesn't know is that the moment he steps through the Zhang family's gates, the eyes of the successive heads of the family, full of twisted hatred and love, have already fixed on him.

*

When they were young, they entered the mountain grounds and were bewitched by the beautiful man there, losing all reason.

When their time was up, every one of them knelt and begged desperately: "Don't make me leave... Do I really have to go? Wait for me, all right? I'll come find you and take you out of the mountains."

But before a year had even passed, when they returned to the mountain grounds, they saw their beloved entangled with someone else, and saw the utterly cold look he gave them.

When they begged him again, all they received was his haughty ridicule.

The love that had been too intense to begin with turned to hatred at that moment.

When they saw the "god" who used to lean on the bed, letting them serve him and put on his shoes and clothes, now become the most ordinary young disciple in the clan, they could no longer conceal the hatred in their hearts.

Such a beautiful, flawed beauty.

He should be nothing but their own private captive.

*One-on-one in stages, recipient-centered, everyone has unrequited feelings for him, a melodramatic and satisfying romance

*An imaginary ancient setting
