Lin Jianye is the front desk supervisor at Guanlan Hotel. He has worked diligently for four years, excels at handling all kinds of emergencies, and is highly regarded by clients. In private, however, he is distant and aloof, and never joins his coworkers' gatherings.
No one knows why this former academic standout from Jing University is willing to settle for a job here.
The new manager pursues him relentlessly, and Lin Jianye is fed up. After taking time off to return to his hometown, he entertains the thought of quitting for the first time.
Just as he is still weighing his options, a reunion on a rainy night throws his heart into turmoil.
Years later, face-to-face with a man who has lost his memory, Lin Jianye inexplicably says, "You're my boyfriend."
He tricks the man into following him back to a remote mountain village. After stealing a few days of intimacy with him, he sends him back to the city and tears this beautiful dream apart with his own hands.
Shen Guiyun, heir to Hanhai Group, went overseas six years ago to expand the company's business empire. Decisive and ruthless, he is known in the industry as the living King of Hell.
He returns to China with a secret plan, but unexpectedly loses his memory and is taken home by someone.
That person was everything he found attractive, and was soft and fragrant in his arms. But a few days later, he suddenly says that the boyfriend act was fake, just to placate his elders.
Shen Guiyun's gaze darkens. If Lin Jianye has gotten involved with him, he won't be allowed to walk away so easily.
He takes over Guanlan Hotel and transfers Lin Jianye to the president's office, claiming he needs a personal assistant.
"Stay by my side, and no one will bother you again."
Shen Guiyun had already regained his memory. He just didn't want to "wake up."
The amnesia was fake; the plotting was real.
He patiently weaves a tender web, coaxing the snail into willingly stepping into his trap.
When Lin Jianye slips and falls in the bathroom, the secret he has hidden for years is finally exposed. Shen Guiyun simply wraps his trembling body in his clothes and says, "Don't be afraid. I'm here."
His arms tighten around Lin Jianye, offering a sense of security impossible to resist. The wall Lin Jianye had built in his heart for ten years comes crashing down. "Shen Guiyun, I like you. I have since I was sixteen."
This time, it's finally not a lie.
Shen Guiyun lowers his head to kiss him, his cool lips brushing Lin Jianye's nose. His voice is low and tender. "I know. I've been waiting a long time to hear you say that."
At the celebration banquet, a long-planned act of sabotage accidentally gives Shen Guiyun exactly what he wants.
In the cool, fragrant presidential suite, veins stand out at Shen Guiyun's temples as his reason teeters on the brink of collapse. His palm holds that slender waist in a firm grip.
"Can you get pregnant?"
"I don't think so... I've never... never had that happen."
A few months later.
Shen Guiyun carries him into the hospital. After a frantic round of examinations, he stares at the little bean on the report. The hunter who had always planned everything with confidence is thrown into disarray for the first time.
