Naughty

Fu Zhuoyan is a brilliant doctor: handsome, fit, rich, and technically outstanding. He's pursued on every front, but he's far from good partner material.

He never takes love seriously. When someone catches his eye, he pursues them in every way imaginable, making them feel like they're on top of the world.

But once he gets bored, he ends things unilaterally. A cold, simple "I've lost interest. Sorry" is enough to freeze everything in its tracks.

Everyone is betting on what kind of person could tie down this heart as full of holes as a sieve.

In a loud, wild bar, Fu Zhuoyan meets Xu Jianian.

Xu Jianian has a handsome, open face and puts on the innocent air of a cheerful college student. In reality, he's calculating, vain, selfish, shallow, and utterly obsessed with money.

Fu Zhuoyan takes an interest, but his friend grabs him by the arm. "It's obvious he's fishing for a sugar daddy. Why take the bait?"

Fu Zhuoyan smiles, carefree and bold. "He wants something, and I want to have fun. We each get what we want. What's wrong with that?"

He pulls Xu Jianian close and kisses him deeply.

Xu Jianian goes home with him.

After three months of limitless indulgence disguised as a "relationship," Fu Zhuoyan exposes Xu Jianian's lies to his face and leaves him with ease.

Xu Jianian will be kicked out of the apartment in one of the city's most expensive districts. He'll lose all his stylish clothes, and his supplementary card will stop working.

Fu Zhuoyan expects Xu Jianian to cry and make a scene, demanding compensation. Instead, Xu Jianian gives him a bitter smile and turns to leave.

As if he'd known all along that this was how it would end.

When they meet again, Fu Zhuoyan realizes he may never have understood Xu Jianian at all.

He thought Xu Jianian was just a shallow gold-digger and a liar. But now he glimpses the man behind the deception: Xu Jianian, burdened by an original sin, stubbornly putting on a brave face and struggling to survive because he has no other choice.

Fu Zhuoyan offers him a helping hand, but Xu Jianian only gives him a calm glance before turning to leave.

As if he'd long since stopped expecting anything from anyone.

At the same bar, in the same spot, Xu Jianian tells everyone who looks at him for more than two seconds, "Kiss me, and I'll go home with you."

His features are utterly alluring, like a flame that could catch fire at the slightest touch.

By the third time he says it, Fu Zhuoyan gets to his feet.

His friend grabs him tightly. "You're a playboy, and he's a liar. You've both seen the ugliest, truest side of each other. You've already gone your separate ways, so let it end here."

Fu Zhuoyan forcefully pries his friend's hand away, his gaze fixed on Xu Jianian like a torch held against the wind. "I know. But I want to be deceived by him."

Until the end of my life.
