Dong Ting is the adopted son of a wealthy family, but his older brother, Dong Chen, has high hopes for him.
His brother is extremely strict with him, dictating exactly what he should do at every hour of every day.
The slightest deviation from his brother's standards earns him a severe punishment.
His brother is strict with him, but also spoils him beyond measure.
He cooks for him himself, washes his underwear, and lulls him to sleep every night.
If Dong Ting makes a mistake and gets punished, his brother personally bathes him and applies medicine to his wounds, then holds him and rubs his back all night.
He gives Dong Ting a black card with an unlimited limit and buys him estates and villas.
The returns from the trust fund he set up for him are beyond imagination. Even if Dong Ting had been winning five million every day since the time of Qin Shi Huang, he still wouldn't have amassed as much.
But Dong Ting is sick of being watched every moment, sick of being punished for every little mistake. He's had enough!
Even if he has to beg on the streets, he will never live with Dong Chen, that controlling freak, again!
Dong Chen looks down on the entertainment industry, so Dong Ting becomes a trainee idol, joins variety shows, and acts in cheesy short dramas and web series.
He threatens his brother with his life and forbids him from dragging him home. They agree that Dong Ting will try for three years, and if he can't make it big, he'll go home and accept the billions in family wealth.
He lied to Dong Chen. Even if he doesn't make it big, he won't go back. He'd rather die out there!
But on his very first day away from his brother, a whole host of things go wrong.
He has no silk pajamas, and he gets an allergic reaction from anything else.
There's no central air conditioning set to a constant temperature, so he catches a cold right away.
No custom-made shoes, no one to break them in for him, and his feet are rubbed raw and bleeding.
But none of it makes him want to go back, not even a little.
Backstage at a variety show:
"Have you heard? That mysterious Mr. Dong is into men. So many movie queens and television award-winning actresses want to get close to him, but they never had a chance."
"A certain award-winning actor has already made his move. There's also that top-tier star with the stunning looks, and the best-looking one among the six overseas returnees. I can't wait to see which of them wins him over."
"If I were a man, I'd risk my life to get close to him. I caught a glimpse of him from far away the other day. Tsk, that body is incredible. With a tycoon this handsome, nobody would lose out by dating him."
Dong Ting couldn't listen any longer. He curled his lip and said, "He looks like a seriously controlling freak. 'Wolf in sheep's clothing' describes him perfectly."
Everyone looked at Dong Ting and laughed. "What are you pretending for? You just entered the industry, and you're already making things up about Mr. Dong? Do you want to ruin your career?"
Dong Ting: ...I'm telling the truth!
Later, backstage at a concert:
Dong Chen: "I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing? And what do you call those ripped jeans that expose your thighs?"
Dong Ting: "You promised you'd stop controlling me. I'm a star now, and I'm dedicated to my work!"
Even though his inner thighs were badly chafed and swollen, he refused to change those jeans just to defy his brother.
After he went onstage, the trending topics were everywhere: Rising top-tier star's legs covered in injuries, suspected bullying victim.
A pampered, drama-loving, stunningly beautiful celebrity bottom with a will of iron vs. a strict, doting, old-fashioned, traditional tycoon gong
Reader's guide:
1: The gag about having someone break in his shoes comes from a certain British queen.
2: The gong and the bottom are not related by blood or family, and they are not registered in the same household.
3: The entertainment-industry content is entirely made up, and so is the wealthy-family content. There are no real-life inspirations.
