[Earnest, shamelessly forward seme x tsundere uke who says one thing and means another]
Yu Zhou feels like his life has turned into a complete mess.
Being transferred from a branch office to headquarters by his older brother without so much as a word is one thing.
But then, in this place where everything seems to go wrong for him, he runs into the person he hates most in the world, the wicked capitalist who is his immediate superior:
Jiang Cishi.
Every day, Yu Zhou diligently curses him, wishing that some enormous disaster would befall him.
He never expected that the disaster would be Yu Zhou himself.
And that he would be the unlucky one, too.
-
During a business trip, Jiang Cishi still dresses himself up like a flamboyant butterfly. He can stand anywhere and look just like a superstar in a fashion magazine.
In Yu Zhou's eyes, that flashy aura makes him look more like the top male model at the fanciest club.
One more look and Yu Zhou might get a nosebleed.
And yet Jiang Cishi seems unaware of how devastating his face is. He leans in and tilts his head, his low, magnetic voice by Yu Zhou's ear, full of teasing amusement.
"Little Zhou, do I look good?"
Yu Zhou is left staring, but still insists, "You don't look good at all. Stop showing off."
In his heart, though, he grumbles: You flashy butterfly, you're so good-looking you're messing with my resolve.
The instant his words and actions contradict each other, he turns into a three-year-old toddler on the spot. Hugging Jiang Cishi's leg, he gazes up at him with starry eyes and says, "Big brother! Handsome big brother! You're the most handsome!"
Now it's Jiang Cishi, who had been perfectly composed, staring in shock.
-
After this incident, the aloof persona Yu Zhou had struggled so hard to maintain in public completely falls apart.
From his messy white hair to his icy gray-blue eyes, he used to seem cold and unwilling to give anyone the time of day.
In private, though, he turns into a hot-tempered, bristly beagle, barking "werwer" at his family and friends. His long-suffering victims, experienced at handling him, coax him and soothe his ruffled fur with endless patience.
He dresses so flamboyantly every day, and he's so good-looking...
He's provoking me!!
The Beagle Victims' Alliance: No, no, little darling, you're the best-looking one.
He throws money at me, takes me shopping for clothes, and calls me a country bumpkin...
He's mocking me!!
The Beagle Victims' Alliance: No, no, little darling, you have the best taste.
He confesses to me and says I'm the cutest person in the world...
He likes me!!
The Beagle Victims' Alliance: No, no... Huh?! This can't be right, can it?!
-
The victims, who are thoroughly fed up with Yu Zhou's 100% beagle energy, can't believe it.
The dashing Young Master Jiang has actually gone "blind" and taken an interest in a little beagle who looks like he could charm the world, but is a little devil on the inside.
They cautiously ask, "Do you want to keep him?"
Jiang Cishi raises an eyebrow and answers without hesitation, "I'd be delighted."
Hey! You really are reaching out to take him?!
-
Yu Zhou is Jiang Cishi's universe.
And Jiang Cishi's meaning is:
[A little boat leaves the past behind, entrusting the rest of its life to the rivers and seas.]
-
1. The seme has a flamboyant butterfly persona, and the uke is a mischievous little beagle.
2. The Beagle Victims' Alliance are genuinely doting family members. They complain about him but spoil him in truth. Still, every dishonest voice will be punished in this story, heh heh heh.
3. Both are each other's first and only. Happy ending, mutual pampering, light and sweet story, silly couple, fictional setting, entirely made up, no logic.
