Xia Shu has a husband who loves him dearly.
In their seven years of marriage, Shen Xingzhi has remembered every anniversary and all of Xia Shu's likes. He kisses him before leaving the house and brings home a bouquet of flowers.

Shen Xingzhi never thought he would cheat.
When they first met, sixteen-year-old Xia Shu wore a flower crown. He was gentle and pure, like the most beautiful elf in the world.
Later, even when his health was poor, he stayed by Shen Xingzhi's side as they built a business together. He was the moonlight Shen Xingzhi held in the palm of his heart, someone he could never cherish enough.
So even though Xia Shu was a little indifferent in bed, Shen Xingzhi had never minded.
He loved Xia Shu for who he was, after all. He wasn't an animal.
-
The first time he crossed the line was an accident.
The boy, his waist chain swaying, was like a fire that could never be put out.
It was intense and thrilling, adding an unexpected flavor to Shen Xingzhi's unruffled life.
Shen Xingzhi loved Xia Shu even more. He washed himself thoroughly before coming home, cooked for Xia Shu, came up with countless surprises, held him while they watched films about the stars, and kissed his beautiful sleeping face, unaware of everything.
He also felt remorse in the emptiness after giving in, and thought about quitting countless times.
But that thrill, that itch... Pandora's box had already been opened. He could only plunge from the cliff as his adrenaline surged.
Until the moment Xia Shu found out, and Shen Xingzhi finally hit rock bottom.
His heart was shattered to pieces.
"Shen Xingzhi, divorce me."
A faint red tinged the corners of Xia Shu's eyes. His beauty seemed fragile, but his voice was calm and even, as composed and refined as ever.
"There can be no forgiveness. You won't get another chance."
"Shen Xingzhi, you enjoyed the thrill and pleasure of playing both sides, didn't you?"
"If you can't stop cheating, don't insult love."
Overnight, the dashing young master Shen became a homeless dog.
No matter what price he was willing to pay, Xia Shu never looked at him again.

Later, after Shen Xingzhi came out of the ICU, it took him a long time to find Xia Shu's address.
He saw his Xiaoshu being held in one arm like a child by a tall man as he picked oranges. Later, the man pinned him against a tree and kissed him.
Xia Shu's eyes were moist from the kiss, his cheeks flushed. He waved a plump orange and pretended he was going to bully the man.
Shen Xingzhi suddenly saw the sixteen-year-old Xia Shu again, before he had become the most capable and hardworking finance director at Shen Xingzhi's company.
All that innocence and inexperience had returned when he was with a powerful man Shen Xingzhi could never shake.
"Xiaoshu..."
When Xia Shu saw Shen Xingzhi, he looked at him as if he were any old acquaintance. There was no resentment in his eyes. Before leaving, he even offered a polite compliment: the flower crown in Shen Xingzhi's hands was nicely made.
It was a completely calm, unfamiliar look. He no longer even remembered the token of their love.
Shen Xingzhi's heart twisted in agony in an instant.
It turned out the cruelest punishment wasn't hatred. It was forgetting.
Everything they had shared, from the time they first met and fell in love as boys, had been completely eclipsed by another man.

Xing Yue knew that Xia Shu had a private ailment he found difficult to talk about.
After suppressing his secret love for seven years, he finally got his chance when the one he loved divorced. The ever-immaculate, cold and ascetic President Xing came up with a shameless treatment plan.
*A habitual cheating, refined scumbag [the scum gong]
*A gentle, refined, frail beauty with a soft body [the shou]
*A cold, ascetic, powerful CEO who actually turns red in the ears just from shaking the shou's hand. More than that, he's a suit-wearing bruiser whose possessiveness gives his wife an overwhelming sense of security, and who cures his wife's low libido through sheer ability [the gong]
