Shen Yu is incredibly boring.
Although he was born into a wealthy family and had billions at his disposal from the moment he came into the world, he was eccentric and aloof, impossible for strangers to approach.
And yet he had an extraordinarily beautiful face. The flowers his admirers sent every year could fill the entire moat.
They say that anyone he so much as glares at will be left unable to bring their legs together.
But Shen Yu had gone without sex for over twenty years and had never shown interest in another human being. That is, until a rainy night at the end of autumn, when he came across a little stray by the roadside.
The next day, the boy had been scrubbed clean from head to toe and put in his bathtub.
The newly adult boy was covered in wounds, dangerous and defiant, unable to speak, and ready to bite anyone who touched him.
Shen Yu did not move an inch. His pale, exquisite foot pressed against the boy's shoulder. Smiling, he looked at the bite mark bleeding on his ankle. "Not bad, little guy."
Xu Jingzhe had once been the filthiest, most wretched creature in the world. He had no parents. As far back as he could remember, he had fought wild dogs for scraps and lived among rats. Sometimes they were friends; sometimes, prey.
He had taught himself how to keep from going hungry, but he had no idea how to be human.
Shen Yu took him in and taught him to read and speak, and how to use chopsticks...
In three years, he turned him from a stray who knew only how to eat and sleep into a gentleman of high society.
Later, more and more people began to praise him and pursue him.
But Xu Jingzhe turned them all down, because he had a mad secret hidden deep in his heart:
He did not want to be human at all.
He only wanted to kneel on the ground and reverently lick and kiss the scar on that man's ankle, the mark that belonged to him alone.
Everyone in the capital knew that the Shen family mansion housed a vicious hound from hell: savage, violent, and impossible to tame.
But as soon as Shen Yu appeared, he would sheathe his claws and show his softest belly, letting that man step on him.
"He was his master, and his salvation."
