A scheming, possessive, and obsessive top versus a sweet, innocent, and earnest bottom.
Shen Shisui awakened to the truth and discovered that he was nothing more than a pathetic stand-in, kept by the story's main top, Gu Yancheng, for three years. From beginning to end, he had only ever been a replacement for the beloved Bai Yueguang, Huo Jinhan.
Once Bai Yueguang returned to the country, Shen Shisui would go mad with jealousy and plot against him. In the end, the main top and the second and third tops, both secretly in love with Bai Yueguang, would take their revenge on him relentlessly, leaving him with a miserable ending.
Shen Shisui was dumbstruck.
But when he opened his eyes, he saw Bai Yueguang on a hotel bed, looking unwell.
The drug was taking effect. Huo Jinhan's whole body was burning, and a tempting flush spread across his pale, cool skin.
Shen Shisui glanced at the empty glass in his hand. He had just drugged the drink.
And the two NPCs he'd hired, along with the main top, Gu Yancheng, would arrive one after another within an hour?
Shen Shisui sucked in a sharp breath and hurried to flee.
But the moment he lifted his foot, a burning hand clamped around his wrist.
The man on the bed had a scorching palm. His rumpled shirt hung open at the collar, and his pale skin, from neck to chest, was flushed crimson by the drug. His refined beauty was breathtaking.
Yet his eyes were ice-cold. One look from him made the back of Shen Shisui's neck prickle.
His mind went blank, and he blurted out, "I, I'm in love with you."
"That's why I tricked you into coming here. I'm sorry, I was wrong. I'll leave right now..."
Surely saying he was in love with him was better than admitting he'd found men to have their way with Bai Yueguang?
He didn't notice Bai Yueguang's gaze darken. Then the man's hand tightened, and Shen Shisui was dragged onto the bed and pinned down.
"In love with me?"
Bai Yueguang's voice was hoarse beyond belief.
Shen Shisui: "?"
What was going on?
Half an hour later, Shen Shisui's voice broke with tears, his face stricken with terror. "I-is it not over yet?"
Wasn't Bai Yueguang supposed to be the story's main bottom? How was he this formidable?
His back was about to break. Sob, sob, sob...
From that day on, the plot went completely off the rails.
The book said that the main top, Gu Yancheng, would grind him to dust, while the second and third tops would keep picking on him.
But in reality, Gu Yancheng was acting strangely obsessed.
Night after night, he sneaked into Shen Shisui's apartment and pulled him out of bed. The floor-to-ceiling windows, kitchen counters, and glass shower doors... there wasn't a place that didn't bear their marks.
As he claimed Shen Shisui in a frenzy, he pressed him in a hoarse voice, his tone vicious yet wounded: "Say you like me. Say it..."
Shen Shisui was so thoroughly worn out he couldn't get a complete sentence out.
The second and third tops were also looking at him more and more strangely, with fewer and fewer boundaries.
The book said that Bai Yueguang, Huo Jinhan, would hate him to the bone.
In reality, Huo Jinhan climbed over his balcony every day, then pulled him into his arms and kissed him, starting at his forehead and moving down: his brow bone, the corners of his eyes, the tip of his nose, the corner of his mouth, his Adam's apple, his collarbones...
He slowly kissed every inch, covering every trace the main top had left behind.
"Why haven't you left him yet? Have I not given you enough?"
Shen Shisui was kissed until his whole body went limp and he could barely stand. "Tell me, where did he touch you?"
Shen Shisui's voice was hoarse. "..."
Later, the situation spiraled completely out of control.
Gu Yancheng clutched Shen Shisui's wrist, bracing one hand against the wall to trap him. His knee pressed between Shen Shisui's legs, radiating menace. "I've kept you for three years, and you dare let him touch you?"
Before he could finish, Huo Jinhan appeared at the foot of the stairs. His black turtleneck made his face look as pale and smooth as jade.
He walked over slowly, then yanked Shen Shisui toward himself.
"You've kept him for three years. That's enough."
Huo Jinhan's voice was cold and utterly devoid of warmth. "From now on, I'll take care of him."
Fury blazed in Gu Yancheng's eyes. "Huo Jinhan, you're asking to die."
"Why don't you try?"
Shen Shisui stared in shock at the two business tycoons fighting, along with the second and third tops who had rushed over at the commotion and joined in.
Wait, who was the stand-in, and who was Bai Yueguang?
Was this plot... right?
