"Blurb pending; the following is the old blurb"

After up-and-coming top-tier star Tong Rui is exposed for having plastic surgery, he decides to break up with his manager and boyfriend, Guan Yi.

He isn't afraid his career will suffer. He's just tired.

He plans to leave the lover who has someone else in his heart, and walk away from the career they built together. Even alone, he figures he can be happy.

But before a day of happiness has passed, the little stray dog he once took in clings to him pitifully and says in an equally pitiful voice:

"Big brother, you were willing to get plastic surgery for him. Could you quit smoking for me?"

Sweet-looking but secretly sinister younger seme x obsessive, stubborn uke; younger man, pseudo-adoption

Ji Cheng x Tong Rui

1. The love interest changes. The official male lead is not a good person. Whether the uke is likable is up to the reader.

2. The uke had plastic surgery because of a car accident.

Theme: Become a better version of yourself
