[Fan-Favorite Top x Dog-Training] [Fake Replacement Romance] [A Massive Pursuit-and-Regret Arc. Please Add to Your Reading List!]
Bai Yi's life was turned upside down on his eighteenth birthday.
His adoptive older brother, the richest man in City A, who had once indulged his every whim, personally sent him up for auction.
And the one who bought him was none other than Han Chen, the infamous playboy second young master of the Han family.
Bai Yi tightened his grip on the knife hidden in his sleeve, ready to die alongside this spoiled rich kid.
But Han Chen put the collar that symbolized humiliation around his own neck, then handed Bai Yi its leash. With a carefree grin, he said, "Young master, if a dog won't behave, just get rid of it. How about giving me a try instead?"
Bai Yi smiled and nodded, then pressed the collar's shock button.
After that, the people Bai Yi met grew stranger and stranger.
Kicked out of his home with nowhere to go, Ning Meixuan, his possessive rival who used to pick fights with him whenever they met, begged to stay with him. He fussed over Bai Yi every day, and if Bai Yi coughed twice, Ning Meixuan would worry himself red-eyed.
On his first day at his new company, the refined, domineering CEO Qin Mingyu blushed as he handed Bai Yi a sponsorship contract. "I'll pay you to be the one in charge..."
At a bar to drown his sorrows, Bai Yi was harassed and pressured to drink by people from his old circle. In less than a minute, several big shots arrived in unison, cleared the place, and took care of everything. When they were done, they all gazed at him expectantly, waiting for a word of praise.
As Bai Yi made his escape to the restroom, he thought, This world really has gone crazy!
Later, he walked the path to success paved by a group of powerful men, crushed the adoptive brother and lover who had once betrayed him into the dirt, and rose to the top.
Only then did he find out: oh, so they had been treating him as a replacement!
In their original world, they all hated him.
Only after Bai Yi died did they realize: what hate? It had all been love they couldn't attain and didn't dare admit.
If they could be given another life, they would give everything just to ensure his lifelong happiness and safety.
The gods took pity on them and truly gave them another chance.
In this brand-new world, they desperately tried to treat him well and make amends with everything they had...
But the person who had once treated them kindly now looked at them with utter disgust. "Don't treat me like a replacement. It's sickening!"
Han Chen gave a bitter smile. "You're my whole life, darling. How could I ever treat you like a replacement?"
Ning Meixuan's eyes reddened. "Big brother, do you really not want me anymore...?"
Qin Mingyu swallowed his heartache and went straight for a uniformed seduction. "A Yi, do you want to role-play? You can do whatever you like with me..."
Premise: Strive upward, and the future is full of promise
