As the youngest son of the Yu family, Yu Congji is rich, handsome, and notorious for being a playboy. His favorite pastime is chasing after beautiful people.
Everyone in their circle knows Yu Congji is a notorious flirt who changes partners as often as he changes clothes, yet few people step forward to criticize or accuse him.
That's because Yu Congji has a top-tier assistant by his side: He Shi'an. A graduate of a top university, he is cool and reserved, handsome, and radiates an air of professionalism. He handles everything neatly and efficiently, making every one of Yu Congji's "romances" accept their breakup without complaint.
As Yu Congji puts it, He Shi'an's face looks like it was carved from a mold, but his body is stiff as a board. And he's a rabbit, too. He's completely not Yu Congji's type.
Besides, merfolk don't eat the grass around their own homes. With so many sweet, soft, beautiful people out there, Yu Congji has no interest in chewing on a piece of wood.
Until one day, a countdown to his death suddenly appears on Yu Congji, and he learns that he has to cuddle up to He Shi'an to extend his life.
Yu Congji: ???
What the heck?
From then on, Yu Congji is forced down the path of secretly taking liberties with Assistant He.
A secret touch adds five seconds to his life.
Working up the courage to hold hands adds a whole five minutes!
Yu Congji: Great. He's even more of a capitalist than I am :)
When touching and hand-holding aren't enough, he moves on to hugs and kisses. Yu Congji uses every trick in the book to get close to his assistant, never imagining that the look in He Shi'an's eyes would grow stranger and stranger.
-
He Shi'an is Yu Congji's assistant, a cold-hearted heartbreaker handler in everyone's eyes and the company's model employee.
He takes care of everything in Yu Congji's life and work.
No one knows that He Shi'an has been in love with Yu Congji for five years.
He silently watched as one person after another came and went from Yu Congji's life. He watched Yu Congji laugh and share tender moments with them, while jealousy and reason tore at him until he felt split in two.
He Shi'an knew very well that Yu Congji didn't like him. He had never expected anything to come of their relationship.
Until the day Yu Congji took his hand with trembling fingers and said, close to tears:
"Why does it have to be you, Assistant He?"
Later, Yu Congji went from deliberately brushing He Shi'an's fingers, to secretly asking him to hold hands, to boldly demanding hugs.
He Shi'an, who had spent five years almost turning into a ninja just to keep his feelings in check, remained outwardly calm: ?
Behind him, another hand trembled.
