Between Drowning and Escape

Blurb:

A haughty, two-faced bottom VS a mad-dog top who is the same inside and out

Wen Wantang was studying in Britain when he received a telegram about a sudden upheaval at home and boarded a ship to return to China.

He never imagined it was all a trap to lure him into a cage.

In the cabin on the way back to Hong Kong, the passageways were narrow. No matter how carefully Wen Wantang hid, the other man caught him with ease.

And then the words became prophecy.

A terrible upheaval really did strike the Wen family.

The old master Wen was killed by a sniper's bullet, and the eldest illegitimate son of the Wen family arrived with his mother and claimed most of the family fortune.

That night, Wen Wantang sat in the main hall and heard his mother say, "If only you were a real man."

He buried his face against his knees, hating his body all over again.

But that man held him and shamelessly repeated, again and again, "Wantang, you're so beautiful. Wantang, have my baby. Wantang, marry me."

Wen Wantang hated him to death. He thought he would never bear him a child.

And later, Wen Wantang did indeed make sure of it.

He killed the child he had conceived with Zhao Zhibo.
