I Am the Emotional Practice Partner of a Wealthy Tycoon

Lu Hanxin, heir to the Lu conglomerate, has the power and looks of someone at the very top of the pyramid. Yet he was born emotionally detached, unable to understand love or hate.

He doesn't care, just as he doesn't care that his family and friends call him a monster.

Only his ideal, Su Tang, is an exception. Wanting to interact with him like a normal person, Lu Hanxin chooses Wan Xing, an obedient boy he can easily control, as a practice partner. Under the pretense of dating, he practices how to get along and handle emotions.

With Su Tang about to return, Lu Hanxin plans to get rid of Wan Xing as soon as possible.

Wan Xing is an orphan. Sickly since childhood and dependent on others, he's learned to read people's expressions.

He saw through the secret of this "relationship" long ago. He calmly accepts Lu Hanxin's money and, pretending not to know, dutifully plays along. "Mr. Lu, kissing... do we need to practice?"

His rose-colored lips part and close. Lu Hanxin's gaze grows darker.

Wearing his school uniform, Wan Xing's face flushes from the deep kiss. His lovely eyelashes lower, and he accidentally catches a glimpse of the tip of an iceberg beneath the man's expensive suit trousers.

His limbs go rigid. A moment later, he tactfully asks, "Shall we continue... practicing?"

The handsome man, usually so cool and refined, looks utterly restrained. He gazes at the sweet, obedient boy before him and, after a long silence, quietly doubles the breakup fee as compensation.

Dawn breaks, and the storm has passed.

Lu Hanxin has prepared several ways to handle their breakup, but none involve Wan Xing obediently taking the card and limping out of the bedroom.

Ignoring the discomfort in his back and legs, Wan Xing heads straight to the nearest bank to check his balance.

Wow! That's so much money!

In eighteen years of never knowing what tomorrow would bring, money was the only thing that made him feel secure.

After they part, Lu Hanxin walks beside Su Tang. They look like the perfect couple. Across a crowded street, Lu Hanxin sees Wan Xing nestled in the arms of another tall, handsome man.

Those beautiful eyes that had gazed at him so many times are now looking at another man with adoration.

Apart from the night they made love until they were spent, this is the second time in Lu Hanxin's life that he has felt his emotions stir. This time, they surge even more powerfully.

His usually calm heart is swept by a rush of aching bitterness. The fine, unfamiliar pain makes it hard to breathe, and he nearly falls.

"Wan Xing, turn around and look at me again."

I'm not a monster without feelings anymore.
