Blurb:

Rich second-generation heir Tang You was running away from home when he came across a street child rummaging through a trash can for food. Out of compassion, he gave the boy his last steamed bun. Who would have thought the filthy little kid would latch onto him?

At first, the little kid called him "big brother" in a babyish voice. When Tang You tried to run away from home, the boy even gave him all his new toys. He was so obedient it was hard to believe.

Later, the boy skipped two grades and not only started calling Tang You by his full name, but also began bossing him around. He wouldn't let Tang You be picky about food, accept gifts from girls, or get too physically close to other men. Tang You resented it, but he had to put up with it if he wanted to get into Gu Fan's room.

Later still, Gu Fan went too far. He cornered Tang You in the office and bullied him until the corners of his eyes were red and his legs went weak. When Tang You glared at him, ready to curse him out, Gu Fan coaxed him, "Be good. Call me hubby."

Tang You was furious. "Is this how you treat the person who saved your life?"

Gu Fan's low, hoarse voice came from beside his ear. "Mm. A life-saving favor should be repaid with your whole self."

At seven years old, Gu Fan had been abandoned by his biological father and left to wander alone, surviving by scavenging in trash cans. After enduring countless cruelties, a little dumpling of a boy suddenly handed him a meat bun. From then on, all of Gu Fan's joys and sorrows became tied to that little boy.

In a nutshell:

A little dumpling gives a meat bun to a puppy. Later, the puppy grows into a wolf dog and gobbles up the fresh, juicy custard bun in one bite.

Extra Scene

After learning that Gu Fan liked men, Tang You started subtly probing him about his type.

Gu Fan smiled bitterly and mocked himself. "What, are you going to set me up with someone?"

Tang You kept his face calm, but inwardly gritted his teeth. "Dream on. I'm volunteering."

1. Childhood friends

2. Younger man and older man

3. They dote on each other

4. The leads are not related by blood and have no legal familial relationship

Coming Soon: The White Moonlight Has Moved On

Ran Chen transmigrates into a book.

He becomes the white moonlight of the male lead in a novel he has read.

Having read countless novels, he knows that the white moonlight character may seem to have it all, pampered and cherished by the male lead at first, but in the end, the substitute always takes their place. The white moonlight, having caused trouble, never meets a good end.

Ran Chen arrives at the exact moment when the male lead realizes that the substitute is his true love and begins distancing himself from the white moonlight, who is upset and planning to cause trouble.

Seeing the male lead on a hotel bed made for lovers, drugged by Ran Chen and looking at him with disgust, Ran Chen immediately calls the substitute over. While the substitute stands there in bewilderment, Ran Chen thoughtfully closes the door and slips away, taking no credit.

At a bar:

A friend asks what he thinks he's doing. Ran Chen looks toward the crowded dance floor, full of people dancing wildly, and smiles. "Nothing. I just had a sudden change of heart. A man who can think about one person while getting into bed with someone else isn't worth holding on to."

He remembers the balance in the bank account he just looked up and sighs. "What's a man compared to money? Money's much better. If you have enough of it, even sleeping with Lu Jingheng isn't impossible."

The suited man in the booth beside them pauses, then chuckles and murmurs two words to himself. "Is that so?"

Later, the substitute causes trouble, and the male lead comes to his senses and wants to get back together with Ran Chen. Before Ran Chen can refuse,

he is cornered in the office by Lu Jingheng, the low-key tycoon in the book.

Lu Jingheng: "Didn't you want to sleep with me?"

Ran Chen: "...I can't afford you."

Lu Jingheng: "It's fine. I'm rich. I'll pay you."

Ran Chen: "..."
