Praise the Wild

A seemingly gentle and refined but actually vindictive, ruthless, and spiteful concierge gong with a golden key (somewhat of a male-magnet) VS a philandering, depraved, gloomy, unhinged business tycoon shou (puppy-like)

Shangguan Songye VS Shen Liuyang, five-year age gap, both sexually inexperienced, one-on-one

2010 was a great time, with industries of all kinds booming.

Shangguan Songye is the customer relations manager at the White Orchid Hotel and, since the millennium, the second Chinese person to receive the Golden Key from the international hotel industry.

Almost everyone sees him as a humble, gentle service worker who takes care of every detail.

Shen Liuyang is a leading figure in private foreign trade and finance, famous for his many underhanded methods. If he wants something, he always gets it.

Shen Liuyang attends the first Golden Key award ceremony. When Shangguan Songye, renowned for his gentleness, steps onto the stage, Shen's first thought upon seeing him is: dangerous and alluring.

He greets him, but Shangguan Songye doesn't even look up. His slender, elegant fingers, joints clearly defined, swirl the red wine in his glass as he strides past with grace and poise, leaving him with a quiet remark:

"Mr. Shen, you're not quite as impressive as the rumors say."

For the first time, Shen Liuyang has been defied, and it gives him a new idea: he wants to get Shangguan Songye into bed and see what he's like. After all, he's just a service worker.

Over the course of his life, Shangguan Songye receives declarations of love from countless good and bad people, but he falls for an utterly shameless, ambitious bastard.

Countless people want to get close to Shen Liuyang, appease him, and submit to him, but he falls for someone with a backbone.

They were made for each other.

In the hotel's top-floor executive suite, Shen Liuyang looks at the person on the bed, covered in red marks and too weak to move. A satisfaction he's never felt before wells up inside him. He leans close and says arrogantly, "Did you enjoy that?"

The person on the bed pauses, then gives him a disdainful, scornful smile. "You haven't improved at all."

Shen Liuyang says awkwardly, "You're all talk."

1. The setting is loosely fictionalized. The first concierge in mainland China received the Golden Key certification in 1995.

2. The hotel and foreign trade details in the story are based on the author's experience.

3. This is an indulgent story about you loving me while I don't love you, then me loving you while you don't love me, until a melodramatic twist brings us together~
