Yan Zhen spent twelve years living a life of wealth and privilege, doted on by the Yan family like the apple of their eye.
At his elementary school graduation, Yan Zhen pleaded with his father to come along. But a car accident on the way home changed his life forever.
His father died from his injuries after protecting him, and during the subsequent treatment, it came to light that Yan Zhen was not the Yan family's biological son.
His mother resented him for it, and her mental state began to fluctuate.
His older brother had to cut his studies abroad short and return home to join the family corporation, where he struggled to find his footing.
For six years, Yan Zhen lived awkwardly on a knife's edge in the Yan household.
Then, just before his eighteenth birthday, he learned that the real young master of the Yan family had been found, while his own biological parents had long since died.
That meant there was no longer any reason for this impostor to remain.
Yan Zhen was devastated. His boyfriend of three years, whom he'd met through an online game, comforted him tenderly and invited him to move in.
Yan Zhen agreed and slipped away from home under cover of night.
But two years later, his beloved boyfriend was left in a vegetative state after an accident. The enormous medical bills forced Yan Zhen to return to the Yan family and beg his older brother, who had by then taken full control of the corporation, for help.
On a rainy night, Yan Zhen stood barefoot and wretched on the cold floor. His brother, ten years his senior, lifted his pale chin, his eyes dark and icy.
"Zhenzhen, was he the reason you left me back then?"
At the hospital, his tall, distinguished childhood friend rushed over as soon as he heard the news and held him tenderly. His palm stroked down Yan Zhen's spine, inch by inch, then stopped at his waist and tightened its grip.
"Zhenzhen, we've been together since we were children. If you have nowhere to go, I'd be glad to have you come to me..."
Yan Zhen was deeply moved by the fact that his brother and childhood friend were willing to help him despite their past differences. But as their boundary-crossing encounters grew more frequent, he began to sense that something was wrong. His boyfriend urgently needed better medical care, though, so Yan Zhen could only play dumb and navigate the situation as best he could.
But in the end, this delicate balance was bound to shatter.
After drinking, his brother pinned Yan Zhen to the carpet. His lean, powerful hand slipped beneath the hem of Yan Zhen's shirt and pressed against the small of his back. Desire nearly consumed him as he spoke in a hoarse, passionate voice: "Zhenzhen..."
Yan Zhen fled in a panic, bearing humiliating marks all over his body, only to step straight into the trap his childhood friend had laid for him.
A melodramatic, everyone-loves-him story.
The tops are all devoted and sexually inexperienced.
There will be forced love, faked death, and a redemption arc, plus a dead boyfriend. For now, there are four tops.
Theme: Keep fighting to stay alive.
