Lysander and Aflan's relationship may have had countless different beginnings, none of them particularly honorable. But no matter how they met, they always chose each other.
1. Noble family heir top x male servant bottom who offers himself to the young master to survive, both sexually inexperienced
The elderly noble male had long since left the center of power in the empire, but despite his advanced age, he still lusted after women. Recently, he had set his sights on a male servant considerably younger than his own son. The young servant refused to comply, but was threatened and bribed until the old man forcibly claimed him.
But on the day of the wedding, the elderly male was shot and killed right there at the ceremony. The gunman's motive was also somewhat connected to the newlywed male servant.
A male servant implicated in the murder of a male, especially one who had only just married and had no children, was unlikely to meet a good end. The powerful family of his master could easily have him killed in secret.
Aflan was that unlucky male servant.
He had only just come of age and had barely attended university for a few months before all these misfortunes befell him. He was completely unable to cope. He had thought that after giving in to the pressure of the powerful and agreeing to become the old man's servant, he could live in peace with his own father. He never expected to face an even greater danger, one that might even... cost him his life.
With nowhere else to turn, Aflan could only cast aside his dignity and shame, doing everything he could to cling to powerful males. Even if he became someone's plaything, he didn't want to die so young. Lysander, the young master who had returned from the imperial capital to deal with the funeral, became his only lifeline.
As the heir to the family, Lysander had long since kicked his father aside and inherited the family fortune. He was not only a rare S-rank male, but also a duke of the empire.
After getting the details from the old butler, Aflan nervously hid in Lysander's room ahead of time...
2. "Ungrateful" adopted male top x widowed female general who raised him alone for years, both sexually inexperienced
Lysander's female parent died when he was young. As an S-rank male, there was no one who dared to mistreat or look down on him. His privileged status remained unchanged.
But the respect and fearful deference his status brought him were no substitute for the warmth and care he could truly feel.
A year later, his male parent married a high-ranking female soldier as his principal spouse.
This taciturn female received no affection from her husband, yet she took on the duties of a principal spouse and began to care for him in every way.
Years later, his male parent also died in an accident. The "female parent" who had no blood relation to him continued to treat him as her own child, devoting herself to raising him alone.
But the first thing Lysander did at his coming-of-age birthday banquet was sever his so-called "father-son" relationship with the "female parent" who had since risen to the rank of general.
Seeing the rare look of shock in Aflan's usually composed eyes, Lysander felt deeply satisfied.
He had stopped wanting to be Aflan's good son many years ago.
If Aflan's husband could become Aflan's master back then, why couldn't he?
Wasn't a son supposed to inherit everything from his father?
3. High-born male top x high-achieving, obsequious male servant bottom, both sexually inexperienced
4. High-libido, talented male top x insecure male servant bottom who has been by his side since their school days, both sexually inexperienced
5. Rich, powerful, wicked employer male top x poor male servant bottom who works his way through school, both sexually inexperienced
6. Male top working as a low-level employee under a hidden identity x powerful female executive bottom, both sexually inexperienced
As an S-rank male, Lysander had always been rich and powerful. He was never going to have to work for money in his life.
But being rich didn't mean he never got bored. After losing a bet to his friend last month, he accepted defeat and took an ordinary job under a hidden male identity. Before a month had passed, his excellent performance and outstanding results got him transferred to work closely with the young CEO, where he could receive special training.
But ever since he started working for the young CEO, he had dreams every night of being completely captivated by a female.
The female who was so close to him in his dreams was none other than his current direct supervisor, Aflan, the young CEO in charge of the entire group.
Those dreams were so vivid that he began to feel dazed. Before he knew it, he was reaching out to Aflan, who had no idea how he felt.
