Illegal Possession

A gloomy, possessive seme who pretends to be a poor little thing x an uke in a position of power who falls for his tricks

Zhong Qing (seme) x Lu Qingchi (uke)

Uke's perspective:

Lu Qingchi, president of the Lu Group, sponsors a male college student named Zhong Qing.

Everyone else says: "Sponsor him? That's just an excuse for the beastly Mr. Lu to keep Zhong Qing as his lover under the guise of charity."

Lu Qingchi doesn't care what they think. He sponsors Zhong Qing only because Zhong Qing saved his life when they were children, though Zhong Qing seems to have forgotten.

He looks after Zhong Qing like a younger brother.

The two live together peacefully for three years, until Lu Qingchi attends a matchmaking banquet. When he returns to the office, Zhong Qing, who has always been obedient, forcefully kisses him.

Zhong Qing: "Brother Lu, is your match more like him than I am?"

Lu Qingchi is baffled. "Who?"

After finally calming Zhong Qing down, Lu Qingchi thinks his overstepping will stop there. Instead, Zhong Qing only takes things further.

The next day, Zhong Qing forces himself on him.

Zhong Qing: "Brother Lu, look carefully. I'm not him."

Unable to accept what has happened, Lu Qingchi decides to end his sponsorship of Zhong Qing.

He doesn't know that Zhong Qing is secretly preparing to imprison him.

Lu Qingchi: "Are you taking revenge on me?"

Zhong Qing: "I'm loving you."

Lu Qingchi says each word deliberately: "Your love has made me feel real pain."

Zhong Qing holds him tight. "Then let's sink into the pain together."

Seme's perspective:

Zhong Qing, a student at A University, comes from a poor family and supports himself with part-time jobs.

One day, Lu Qingchi, president of the Lu Group, comes to the cafe where he works and hands him a sponsorship agreement.

Zhong Qing: "I can support myself with the money I earn from working."

Lu Qingchi: "You don't need to do anything, and you don't need to repay me. I hope you'll accept it without feeling guilty, and let me have the chance to care about you."

Could there really be something this good?

Zhong Qing signs his name without hesitation.

Actually, Zhong Qing had met Lu Qingchi once before and overheard what Lu Qingchi thought of him.

Lu Qingchi: "I don't like him. I just think he looks like someone I once knew."

He doesn't like me?

Zhong Qing doesn't care, since he and Lu Qingchi are worlds apart in status.

He's just a nobody. What does he have to do with the grudges of the wealthy?

Lu Qingchi looks after Zhong Qing like a younger brother.

Gradually, Zhong Qing's resolve wavers. Lu Qingchi gives him so much, materially and emotionally. Zhong Qing can throw away the clothes, shoes, perfume, and watch, but he can't give up Lu Qingchi's love.

He isn't content to be just Lu Qingchi's "little brother."

He starts a business, hoping that hard work will close the financial gap between them.

But in Lu Qingchi's office, Zhong Qing finds a portrait of the person from his past, and sees a face almost identical to his own.

Lu Qingchi really did see him as a stand-in for someone else.

No wonder Lu Qingchi said he didn't like him. How could a fake compare to the real thing?

Zhong Qing hates being a stand-in, but if he can make himself the only person in Lu Qingchi's world, there will be no one left to stand in for.
