When Chu Yu was told he would marry Fu Sili, the head of the Fu family, he heard that Mr. Fu was disciplined and proper, noble and self-possessed.
On their blind date, Fu Sili wore gold-rimmed glasses and buttoned his shirt up to the very top. His whole bearing was chaste and restrained. He spoke politely and didn't even touch Chu Yu's fingertips.
Chu Yu thought that was fine. It was a marriage between families, each side getting what they wanted. They could treat each other with respect after the wedding and enjoy an easy life.
But on their wedding night, Fu Sili took off his glasses, pinned him to the wedding bed, and ravished him like a beast that had been starving for ten years.
For an entire month, his new husband was a restrained big shot by day, but after taking off his suit at night, he became an insatiable beast, marking Chu Yu all over again and again.
Chu Yu's legs were so weak he couldn't get out of bed. He couldn't understand it. If you have an addiction, why pretend to be a gentleman on a blind date?
Then, in the second month of their marriage, Chu Yu transmigrated without warning ten years into the past and met Fu Sili at seventeen.
The boy was being cornered in an alley, covered in blood and so emaciated he was barely recognizable. His eyes were full of coldness and stubbornness, like an abandoned young beast.
With deeply complicated feelings, Chu Yu rescued him.

For a long while afterward, Chu Yu shuttled between two timelines, dealing with his addicted husband in one and caring for the pitiful, wounded boy in the other.
A young man's secret crush is impossible to hide: he blushed just from holding Chu Yu's hand. It was hard for Chu Yu to connect this boy with his cultured, wicked husband.
Until the next time Chu Yu returned to the present, Fu Sili suddenly gripped his waist halfway through and rasped out a warning: "Wife, don't be so nice to him."
Chu Yu: "...He's you, too."
Fu Sili: "Even if he's me, you still can't."
He was jealous of the boy who had nothing, who could get Chu Yu's care and affection without lifting a finger, while he had spent ten whole years plotting and scheming just to have Chu Yu lie in his arms every night.
But he forgot that when his seventeen-year-old self saw the unsightly marks on Chu Yu's body, he was so jealous that his eyes nearly bled.
Back then, the boy swore to himself that one day, he would claim his god for himself by any means necessary.
He was willing to pay any price.
A delicate, soft-hearted beauty as the pursued partner x a pitiful young pursuer / an adult pursuer who seems restrained but is actually twisted and possessive
The pursuer has a teenage and an adult version. In both timelines, the pursued partner is an adult.
