When Ye Nan was seventeen, he suddenly learned that he was the fake young master who had been switched at birth with a wealthy family's real son in a book.
His ending would be no more than being taken back by his poor biological parents and living an ordinary, mediocre life.
The Ye family's immense fortune, the luxurious lifestyle, his adoptive parents' devoted care, and the envious looks of those around him would all vanish without a trace.
So, before any of that could happen, he put on a mask of kindness and obedience, and deliberately got close to Gu Xiu, who had yet to be brought home by the Ye family.
At seventeen, Gu Xiu had a handsome face and excellent grades, but his poverty made him the target of countless rich kids' mockery.
There was only one person who was different.
That boy was the Ye family's young master, cherished and adored by everyone.
Not only was his family powerful, but his looks were strikingly beautiful.
One day,
Ye Nan slowly licked his ice cream, its lurid red staining the tip of his tongue.
The boy loosely wrapped an arm around his neck, looking innocent, while his sweet talk was sweeter than honey:
"A-Xiu, I like you more than anyone, more than anyone, more than anyone."
Gu Xiu's ears warmed, his heart pounded like a drum, and from then on, he was doomed beyond saving.
If not for what happened later, Gu Xiu believed they would have been happy together for the rest of their lives.
The bar's beat throbbed, and the lights shimmered.
The once-obedient boy lounged on the sofa, his features showing a bold abandon Gu Xiu had never seen before. Someone reclined across his lap and teased him:
"It's Young Master Ye's birthday today. How come Gu Xiu isn't here?"
Then came the answer Gu Xiu would never forget.
The boy swirled a glass half-filled with red wine. His eyes held undisguised disgust, and his damp lips parted:
"Don't mention him. Just seeing him makes me sick."
With a clatter, the gift hit the floor. Gu Xiu's eyes reddened, and his heart sank to the bottom.
Overnight, the Ye family underwent a drastic change. The real young master returned, and everyone despised the fake one.
But no one knew
In the bedroom, with its red carpet and occasional jingling bells, the real young master's private possession was hidden away.
"Nan Nan, how pitiful." Gu Xiu held Ye Nan on his lap, gently kissing the tears welling in his eyes. His voice was obsessed and possessive. "You want the Ye family?"
The young man paused, then chuckled:
"Then be a good boy and become my wife."
