Don't Ask a Player for Promises

++++Shu Chen is arguably the most "legendary" business tycoon in Yanjing. Six years ago, he carried a baby who had just turned one month old around while desperately looking for work, more wretched than a stray dog. In less than two years, thanks to his considerable talents, he had become a rising star in the business world. Everyone said that even a baby who seemed impossible to raise had thrived in his care, growing clever and brilliant, a hundred times more outstanding than the pampered young masters of any great family. It's common knowledge that Shu Chen has always had a weakness for pretty, delicate boys, especially handsome ones a few years younger than him. And lately, the "little crown prince" in Shu Chen's household has been busy finding a "queen" for his "emperor father." For a while, beautiful men were everywhere around Shu Chen. People all over Yanjing gossiped about who would be the lucky one to marry into wealth. The only one who inexplicably lost his cool was Lu Ziming, the most notorious of the Lu family's third young masters. Everyone thought Third Young Master Lu couldn't stand Shu Chen. Only Lu Ziming knew that if he hadn't been such a bastard back then, Shu Chen and the baby should both have belonged to the Lu family by now. Being a bastard feels great in the moment, but chasing your wife afterward is hell. Worse still, when they reunited, Lu Ziming discovered that Shu Chen had only been so accommodating and self-sacrificing back then because he was a sucker for good looks. All that talk of true love had been something Lu Ziming had imagined himself. ++++In the living room, the little one cuddled up to Shu Chen and showed him the latest class photo from kindergarten. The little one: "Dad, look. This is the cutest boy in our class. He's got big eyes and a sweet smile. I'll keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't grow up to be a bastard. So don't get together with that scumbag." "I can't, sweetheart. Daddy's too old!" Shu Chen gently explained to the little one that dating had to follow the rules of ethics and morality, while Lu Ziming, who was pretending to be a humble servant as he poured tea, was practically crying with frustration. Who the hell was the ungrateful bastard here? One-on-one, shou protagonist, melodramatic sweet romance. A beauty-obsessed shou who poured his heart out to a dog and has no intention of turning back, versus a handsome but hopelessly blind younger gong who chases his wife through hell and keeps getting cuckolded by his own son. Note: No childbirth. The child is the accidental result of a scientific experiment and is not human. ++++ Theme: Rely on yourself rather than others
