[Pre-release: After Marrying a Possessive Top by Contract, I Can't Get Out of It. Please add it to your reading list.] Chu Le, who has six months to go before starting his internship, gets the news that his family wants him to marry the young master of the Yu family next door after graduation. As the overlooked young master of his family, Chu Le can only think: You've got to be kidding me. That night, Chu Le invites his best friend out to complain about his terrible lot in life. He accidentally gets drunk, and when he wakes up, he discovers he's slept with a strange man. Dizzy, Chu Le clutches the blankets and curls up at the side of the bed, watching the stranger smoke. Framed by curls of smoke, the man's appearance is utterly captivating. Blinded by each other's good looks, the two hit it off and agree to “date.” At first, they each get what they need and figure they'll have some fun together, then call it quits. But several months later, they're still getting what they need from each other! Chu Le gradually starts to fall for him and plans to ask if they can make their relationship official. Then, at the interview “Tell me a little about yourself.” Huh??? That voice sounds familiar. Chu Le looks up sharply, horror written all over his face. “You…” Yu Bailian takes off his glasses. “I just started here. This is my new job, so don't get worked up.” Chu Le: “…” Your new job and my new job don't seem to be the same thing. Only later does Chu Le learn that the man is a top big shot who's not to be crossed, and that he's been hiding his identity all along. So Chu Le unilaterally goes no-contact and breaks things off. Wait, no, they can't even break up. They were never together! Don't mess with a big shot you can't afford to offend. When it's time to run, run. * Before Chu Le's internship is even over, his family tricks him into coming home and demands he get engaged first. They even hold a family meeting. Everyone in the Chu household, including the servants, tries to persuade Chu Le to accept the arranged marriage. Just then, the security guard hurries in through the front door, followed by a strikingly handsome man carrying a bouquet. The newcomer is none other than the elusive, cold-hearted business tycoon of the Yu family. No one in the Chu family dares to breathe too loudly. Only Chu Le looks completely baffled. “What are you doing here?” Yu Bailian says, “Proposing.” Chu Le: ? Didn't we break up? Yu Bailian seems to know what he's thinking. “Does breaking up mean I can't pursue you?” Chu Le: “…” What kind of pursuit is this? The Chu family, who have heard everything: ?! #The top is the Yu family's young master's uncle# #Older top, eight-year age gap# #Same-sex marriage is legal in this setting# #Weibo: @Jinjiang Weijin Shi, come say hi!# Pre-release blurb Shi Yuchuan is gentle and well-behaved. Through a twist of fate, he's chosen to enter a contractual marriage with Xie Yan, head of the Xie family. That night, Xie Yan coldly tells him, “I'm not interested in you. You won't get anything from me except money. As for your allowance, it's one million a month, with no upper limit. Any problems with that?” Shi Yuchuan has heard that Xie Yan, head of the Xie family, is cold, obsessive, and ruthless. And from the way he hands out money, it seems the rumors about his ruthlessness are true. Shi Yuchuan, the good little darling: “N-no, not at all. Don't worry.” With this much money, who needs anything else? After spending some time together, Xie Yan thinks reasonably well of him, but Shi Yuchuan often wanders around the house in nothing but a white shirt, his long legs swaying right in front of him. Or he coyly acts cute when Xie Yan isn't expecting it, and even cooks for him himself. Xie Yan frowns and warns him, “Stop trying to get to me.” Shi Yuchuan immediately understands. “Oh, actually, there's someone I love but can't be with. He's the one who got away.” Xie Yan: … * Shi Yuchuan thinks Xie Yan has been treating him too well lately. After Shi Yuchuan says he doesn't want to eat alone, Xie Yan comes home every night, buys him things for no reason, and even gives him milk before bed to help him sleep. Shi Yuchuan: The aftercare for a contract marriage is amazing. So careful. .jpg Later, Xie Yan cooks for him himself. Mr. Xie isn't much of a cook. But he shamelessly asks, “Does the food made by the person you like taste better, or mine?” Shi Yuchuan thinks about the one million in spending money he gets every month. “Yours, of course. You're the best, hubby.” Then, after their contract expires, Shi Yuchuan gets ready to take the money and pursue his dreams. Xie Yan catches the little rabbit trying to run away. His expression looks a little dangerous, and his voice is hoarse and ominous. “I've treasured you for so long. Why are you trying to run away?” Theme: Work hard, strive to improve, and become an independent person.
