"It was all a lie, wasn't it?"

As he looked at the man before him, Chi Yu's eyes were icy.

After a long silence, Zhou Chongsi said, "You found out."

He first heard Chi Yu's name from a friend.

Watching a friend who had always charmed his way through the dating scene and never bowed or stayed for anyone willingly give up his ways for one person struck Zhou Chongsi as ridiculous. He scoffed.

As the heir to Chengguang Group, he was used to weighing costs and benefits. He had never believed in passionate love, and never thought he would fall into its depths.

That was, until he saw Chi Yu with his own eyes. The man leaned against the doorway, biting a cigarette, his smile uninhibited...

So Zhou Chongsi approached Chi Yu with the intention of having a little fun. They spent every day together, until the lie was exposed.

Unable to say what made him so obsessed, Zhou Chongsi used every means at his disposal once he was found out. He threatened, tempted, and trapped Chi Yu by his side, forcing him to hide his sharp edges and sheath his claws.

Until Chi Yu stopped resisting. He would curl up in the living room and wait when Zhou Chongsi came home late from work. When Zhou Chongsi drank too much at business dinners, he would take careful care of him.

Zhou Chongsi kissed Chi Yu in satisfaction, even thinking that it wouldn't be so bad to live like this together for the rest of their lives.

But an incident changed everything. Their enemy kidnapped both Zhou Chongsi and the man who had almost fallen in love with Chi Yu.

The enemy set the rules: Two men. Choose one. The other dies!

Zhou Chongsi stared intently at Chi Yu, harboring a faint, hard-to-detect hope.

But Chi Yu didn't hesitate for a second. His gaze swept over Zhou Chongsi, who was in a wretched state, then he turned resolutely and chose the other man, leaving with him to live happily ever after.

Zhou Chongsi was left alone in the deathly silent room.

So all that gentleness, all that thoughtfulness, even the love, had been fake!

Later, Chi Yu settled in a small southern town, where his life was peaceful and uneventful. One evening, he returned from the market with his lover, laughing and talking as they discussed what to celebrate that night.

"Try some of my cooking..." Chi Yu's voice cut off as he opened the door.

The living room lights were off, and twilight filled the room. Someone sat on the sofa, legs crossed. A red ember flickered in Zhou Chongsi's fingers.

Chi Yu's smile froze on his face. His lover peered over his shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?"

Smoke drifted from Zhou Chongsi's lips. Watching the two of them act so intimately together, his heart burned with jealousy. Through clenched teeth, he said, "You lied to me."

Looking at the man he hadn't seen in years, Chi Yu delivered each word like a knife. "You taught me how."

Reading guide and warnings:

1. Happy ending. There will be groveling, so don't worry ^_^ Six-year age gap.

2. Neither of them shared their first kiss with the other, but both are sexually inexperienced. The top is Zhou Chongsi.

3. The top will eat his words. At first, he pretends and approaches the bottom just for fun. Then he falls in love, gets exposed for who he really is, and his sweetheart leaves him. The fireworks begin!

The blurb and the main story use different perspectives. The blurb is from the top's point of view, while the story is told from the bottom's.

Yun Zangyu had loved Zhou Ji for six years. They were childhood friends, close and inseparable. But Yun Zangyu could only hide his feelings, because of society's expectations and because he was a... monster.

When Zhou Ji wasn't looking, Yun Zangyu would gaze at him with burning intensity. But the moment he looked away, his eyes met another pair, as still as an ancient well.

Zhou Hengzai stood a few steps away. No one knew how long he'd been watching, his expression calm, as if he saw right through everything.

Yun Zangyu shuddered inwardly. He felt as though he had been cut open, all his secrets laid bare. He pretended nothing was wrong and hurriedly looked away.

Zhou Hengzai was Zhou Ji's older brother, the future head of the Zhou family. He was calculating, ruthless, and unscrupulous.

When Yun Zangyu was young, he had witnessed Zhou Hengzai coldly disembowel a rabbit. From then on, he loathed and feared him, taking detours to avoid him, refusing to speak to him, and keeping as far away from him as possible.

Then something happened to his family, leaving Yun Zangyu with nowhere to turn. The first person he thought of was Zhou Ji. But when he called, it wasn't Zhou Ji who answered.

Zhou Hengzai's voice came through the phone, calm and cold. "He's gone abroad."

Yun Zangyu clutched his phone, his face deathly pale. The Yun family couldn't wait...

With no other choice, Yun Zangyu gritted his teeth and knocked on Zhou Hengzai's door.

The man sat in the shadows, smoking. Smoke curled around him as he narrowed his eyes, like a predator waiting for its prey to walk straight into its trap. "Have you made up your mind?"

Yun Zangyu lowered his eyes. "...Yes."

Zhou Hengzai had never been denied anything he wanted. He had wealth, status, and power in abundance.

His rule was to take what he wanted. If it wasn't given to him, he'd seize it. If he couldn't take it, he'd destroy it. Yun Zangyu was no exception.

On their wedding night, Zhou Hengzai discovered Yun Zangyu's secret. Dark currents surged in his eyes, and he wanted nothing more than to devour him whole.

Afterward, Zhou Hengzai contentedly held Yun Zangyu, who was completely exhausted. He brushed aside his damp hair and caressed the marks he'd left behind.

As for the other secret, he would let it remain buried forever.

Zhou Hengzai tightened his arms around him, as if he wanted to merge their bones and blood. He would never let him go, even in death!

Later, Zhou Ji returned from abroad...
