Top's perspective:
Lin Yue had a crush on someone when he was young.
That person liked him too, but only for his money, and eventually ran off with an older man for the sake of money.
Years later, they meet again in a bar.
Seeing that person serving someone with downcast eyes and utter submission, Lin Yue feels his anger flare and wants to bully him mercilessly.
--He wants to see just how moving the person who once thought so little of him will look when crying and begging for mercy.
Bottom's perspective:
Zhong Shengsheng had a crush on someone when he was young.
During his darkest days, he got by with the help of those beautiful memories and a coat.
--A coat that still held the faint warmth of that person from years ago in his memory.
He had imagined countless times what it would be like to meet that person again, but never expected things to go so badly from the start.
Fortunately, it's not too late. He's scared, but he still wants to try being brave again.
Until--
The ring he was promised never came.
Instead, the man's fiancee showed up at his door to flaunt their relationship.
Domineering, flamboyant rich second-generation top x stubborn, long-suffering bottom from an ordinary family
Lin Yue, top x Zhong Shengsheng, bottom
Their names come from the line "Song echoes through the woods" in Yuan Mei's "What I Saw" from the Qing dynasty.
