Shen Lingci became the Grand Tutor of Great Qi at a young age, a cool and elegant gentleman, as refined as jade.
One day, he angered the emperor. He remonstrated with his life and died by striking his head against a pillar in court.
When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived thousands of years in the future, as a contractual wife in a marriage of convenience between wealthy families.
On their wedding night, the man, who looked exactly like the Crown Prince, took off his tie and approached him step by step, his expression suggestive.
Shen Qingci trembled all over, but forced himself to stay calm.
"Husband and wife... ought to treat one another with respect. Such presumptuous behavior is entirely inappropriate."
The man raised an eyebrow as he looked at the beauty's stubborn gaze, then suddenly laughed.
"You were the one who insisted on marrying into the Gu family, willing to die for it. And now you're playing innocent?"
As he spoke, he leisurely undid the buttons at his cuff one by one.
"Sweetheart, you can put on an act, but don't fool yourself."
"Be a good boy and take off your dress. Your husband will make you feel good, hmm?"
-
From then on, Shen Lingci's life changed completely.
"Grand Tutor, you ancient people couldn't play with these, could you?"
He watched the man take a pile of strange objects out of the cabinet and couldn't help exclaiming that the world had gone downhill.
"Grand Tutor, teach me to write with a calligraphy brush."
He gave a serious demonstration, but the man slowly toyed with the brush between his fingers, putting it to a use Shen Lingci couldn't bear to look at.
"Grand Tutor, don't fall asleep. It's still early..."
His long hair lay scattered by his ears as the man gripped his chin and forced him to face the window. His face was streaked with tears as he begged desperately. He wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to run.
Dawn broke, and the morning light had already spilled into the room.
Shen Lingci was in despair every day.
The man's behavior was outrageous, his manners debauched. He was a shameless lecher!
He would write a divorce letter! He'd rather live on the streets than share a room with a scoundrel like that!

A beautiful but old-fashioned fossil had come to live in Gu Bochen's home. And he was the only one who could stir Gu Bochen's desire.
So Gu Bochen gave in to his wicked impulses.
He used every outrageous trick he could think of on Shen Lingci, pushing things to extremes and stripping away every last shred of the poor man's propriety and shame.
Finally, one day, he received a thousand-word denunciation from Shen Lingci, its language earnest and heartfelt.
It concluded that a lecher like him deserved to be put to death by everyone.
Gu Bochen finished reading and fell silent for three seconds.
Then, as Shen Lingci looked at him in despair and wariness, he backed him into a corner.
"Grand Tutor Shen, you are well-read."
His voice was slightly hoarse. "Those thousand-plus words really tore into me."
"So, Grand Tutor, why don't you show me through practice, and teach me properly..."
"What the words in this letter really mean."
Cool, aloof, stubborn, repressed straight man shou x wicked, reckless, scheming, insatiable boss gong. Each other's first love.
