Gu Jin was fed up with his two ex-boyfriends arguing, so he set off on a road trip through the southwest and accidentally ended up in a Miao village.
His friends were all dazzled by the Miao girls, but he fell for the young man standing behind the crowd at first sight.
Xu Liao'an wore simple black clothes and silver ornaments around his neck. His eyes were as deep as dark jade, irresistibly alluring.
One glance was enough to set Gu Jin's whole body on fire. He was determined to make the young man his.
Xu Liao'an was only eighteen, while Gu Jin was a twenty-six-year-old expert at romance. It took him just a month to lure the young man into his bedroom, hoping to have his way with him.
Who knew the kid would be so strong despite his age, leaving Gu Jin unable to get out of bed for days?
He wanted to get angry, but the Miao boy had a certain appeal, so he decided to put up with it.
Six months later, Gu Jin was bored.
Before leaving, he cautiously asked, "You don't know how to cast a love spell or anything, do you?"
Xu Liao'an put an arm around him and murmured, "Brother A-Jin, it's the twenty-first century. No one knows how to cast spells anymore."
Gu Jin left, reassured.

One day, Gu Jin was at a club picking male escorts for fun when he spotted a young man standing at the entrance. The boy called out brightly, "Brother A-Jin."
How funny. He had a new flame. Who wanted an old one?
Gu Jin ignored Xu Liao'an and even told security to throw him out.
But a few days later, he woke up lying in an unfamiliar room, his whole body weak and unable to move.
Xu Liao'an stood in the shadows, gazing at him forlornly, like an evil spirit.
Gu Jin couldn't tell day from night or how much time had passed. His senses were jumbled and his mind was hazy.
He felt like a machine on the verge of breaking down, pushed to the brink.
Xu Liao'an pressed close to his ear and said happily, "The village's insect witch said I was born lacking water. Now that I have Brother Jin, I don't have to worry anymore. I'm going to stay here with you forever."
Gu Jin sobbed and trembled. "Please, let me go. I'll give you as much money as you want. Don't, don't..."
