Chi Qianli is a kept man, but all he wants is to build his career.
He grew up surrounded by praise, a legendary university prodigy who skipped two grades. Chi Qianli was blessed not only with good looks, but also with tact and flawless social skills.
If he had one flaw, it was that he couldn't judge people well. Of all the men he could have chosen to keep him, he had to pick Zhao Yiche as his sugar daddy.
Zhao Yiche.
A talentless man known to everyone in their circle. He was merely the best of a bad lot, and if there hadn't been a complete lack of capable young people his age, he wouldn't have been able to inherit the vast Zhao family business.
Everyone in their circle knows that Chi Qianli is using Zhao Yiche's connections to advance his career.
Even Chi Qianli himself knows that sooner or later, his greed will get the better of him and he'll be thrown out. So when he decides to milk Zhao Yiche for all he's worth before leaving, his sugar daddy, a hopelessly heterosexual man, gets down on one knee. In his arms is a pair of matching rings, and his puppy-like eyes gaze up at Chi Qianli, brimming with tears.
Zhao Yiche: "Baby, will you marry me?"
Chi Qianli: "...Me?"
