I Was Stolen Away, but I'm the Top

[Forced Love: The Bottom Forces the Top] [Angst] [Groveling]

Wen Zhuo (top) and Xu Hannian (bottom). A short story, not very long, probably around a hundred thousand characters. The cover features the bottom.

Synopsis:

In the first year of being Xu Hannian's "kept man," Wen Zhuo understood that he was nothing more than a human plaything Xu Hannian kept.

In the third year, he listened expressionlessly as Xu Hannian denied their relationship in front of other people.

In the fifth year, he obediently put on the "dog collar" Xu Hannian brought him in bed.

In the seventh year, Wen Zhuo heard that Xu Hannian's family had fallen on hard times.

Was he free now?

Wen Zhuo wondered, at a loss.

Content warning: The bottom forces the top into a relationship. There is plenty of angst. Basically, the bottom's family falls on hard times (they're still rich, just without the power to force the top into a relationship), so he wants to separate, but the top refuses. There are misunderstandings (otherwise they wouldn't have been at an impasse for seven years), but they gradually talk things through in the story.

Both are virgins, and they have only ever been with each other, emotionally and physically.

Can't think of any other warnings for now. I'll add more if I think of any. 2022.11.4
