At Last, You're Single

Powerful, refined aristocrat top x cool, shy, puppy-like genius aerospace engineer bottom

Older top, 30, and younger bottom, 24. Same-sex marriage is legal.

Bo Wenyi x Ji Xinghan

On the day Firmamento, the leading aerospace company, announced it was suspending all cooperation with the Central Academy of Sciences, its heir, Bo Wenyi, appeared in the Academy's courtyard and tossed his fiance, Li Cheng, a marriage contract dissolution agreement.

"Do you really have to take things this far?"

Li Cheng had hurried over from the laboratory, his eyes full of tears. Bo Wenyi only replied coolly:

"Sign it. Don't waste my time."

After seeing Li Cheng off, Bo Wenyi prepared to leave the Academy. As he got into his car, someone tugged at his coat.

He turned around. A handsome young man in a white lab coat, wearing an Aerospace Institute ID badge, spoke with a trembling voice. "Mr. Bo, please wait."

Bo Wenyi knew the other man was one of Li Cheng's students. Thinking Li Cheng had sent him to plead his case, Bo Wenyi was about to send him away when the young man handed him an envelope. "Mr. Bo, I've liked you for a long time. Please accept my love letter."

Bo Wenyi: "..."

If he remembered correctly, they'd only met three times in total.

The day the Xihuang Aerospace Base was completed happened to be the day the Central Academy of Sciences announced its annual aerospace prize. On the tower, prominent figures from every field waited eagerly. In the end, the person who beat out the most eminent experts and claimed the world's highest honor was the super-genius Ji Xinghan, just 24 years old.

At the banquet, Ji Xinghan, dressed in a white lab coat, and Bo Wenyi, dressed in a suit, stood together as if they were made for each other.

Their influential families praised Bo Wenyi for his keen eye in recognizing talent and finding such a rough-cut gem. But no one knew that beneath Ji Xinghan's pristine white shirt were red marks Bo Wenyi had left the night before.

There had always been a bright moon high in Ji Xinghan's heart. He admired it in silence, yearning for what he could not have, until one day the other man ended his engagement.

Ji Xinghan knew his one and only chance had arrived.
