Lin Jianxing hadn't seen Duan Shu since they got their marriage certificate.
But the transfers to his bank account kept coming.
Five million for his birthday, three million for a shopping trip, and seven figures just because he caught a cold.
Every payment came from his husband, whom he'd barely met.
Until one day, he got a text asking when he was free to meet.
Lin Jianxing was just about to get a divorce when he tilted his head in confusion. Who was this? Why did he have the same name as his husband?
*
Duan Shu married the person he'd been secretly in love with for years, knowing he was taking advantage of the situation. He never dared go home to face him.
And still, he managed to ruin everything: his husband wanted a divorce.
So he threw caution to the wind and took Lin Jianxing's hand at a banquet.
Unexpectedly, his usually cold-faced husband didn't push him away. He even hugged him first and clung to him more tightly.
Maybe his husband didn't dislike him after all?

Lin Jianxing had skin hunger syndrome. He needed intimate contact with someone and longed to be touched thoroughly.
The good news was, he had a husband.
The bad news was, his husband didn't like him and wouldn't even see him.
He wanted a divorce, and his husband suddenly "came back to life."
Not only that, but he clung to him every day.
Holding hands, hugging, kissing, and even pressing Lin Jianxing's hand to his abs.
Their skin touched. Lin Jianxing shivered involuntarily and gazed at Duan Shu with red-rimmed eyes, but the man just kept asking, "Feels good, Xingxing? Still want a divorce?"
With all that gorgeousness in front of him, Lin Jianxing's heart raced and his body went weak. He could only close his eyes and shake his head.
Divorce?
Where else could he find a rich husband with an eight-pack who clung to him?

One day, Lin Jianxing accidentally opened the cabinet in Duan Shu's study that had been kept locked for years.
There were no documents inside, just several thick photo albums filled with pictures of him from childhood onward, some of which he couldn't even remember himself.
Beneath all the albums lay an agreement already signed by Duan Shu. It essentially gifted all of his personal assets to Lin Jianxing.
Bonus Scene:
Lin Jianxing curled up on the sofa and complained to his friend: "You have no idea how awful he is! He doesn't know how to care about me. All he ever does is give me money!
I want love! Love! Not money!
This isn't the marriage I wanted at all!"
His friend's mouth twitched. Suspecting Lin Jianxing was just showing off, he casually said, "Then why not get a divorce?"
Lin Jianxing thought that sounded like a great idea.
Not long after, his friend got a message: My husband told me not to hang out with you.
Friend: ...
I should never have meddled in your married life!
