Lost in Pleasure, Forgot Love [Modern Danmei]

[Modern BL] Stubborn, prickly dog-type top vs. pleasure-seeking cat-type bottom

Su Fang, a master's graduate who returned from overseas, had received only one interview invitation in the three months since coming home.

On the first day of the interview, he accidentally stumbled upon Mr. Bai's little affair with a male model auditioning in the conference room.

Just when he thought he'd lost another chance at a job, he unexpectedly received a notice that he'd been hired.

Just as the relationship between these two men, who couldn't stand each other, was starting to thaw, a rival appeared out of nowhere.

"You could say you've... you've fallen into the world of vice!" After asking why he'd applied for the assistant position, Bai Yu stared at him and teased.

"I..." Su Fang flushed with anger.

How could someone who looked so respectable speak so vulgarly?

But this troublemaker, with his sharp tongue and foul mouth, thought very highly of himself. He was used to sycophantic smiles and simpering flattery, so a couple of disgusted looks from his new assistant were a welcome change of pace.

Su Fang lowered his head and refused to engage, but the other man's flamboyant blond hair was just so bright, glinting in the sunlight and making him feel all hot and restless inside, quite unable to keep his composure.

[Reader Advisory]

1. The domineering CEO falls for me? You've got it wrong. The domineering CEO is going to torture me to death!

2. Modern ensemble cast:

Proud younger top who returned from overseas vs. gorgeous, flirtatious bottom: they go from being unable to stand each other to secretly crushing on each other, but neither can bring themselves to say it. Just as they finally confess their feelings, an accident throws everything off course...

Brainless but loyal subordinate top vs. stern CEO bottom: they seem like a loving couple, but both are cheating...

Taciturn director vs. cross-dressing streamer: an unbearably sweet couple, yet separated by life and death...

In short, the sweet parts come with knives, and the bitter parts come with sugar. Nothing goes anyone's way.

3. Beneath the wine and sensual pleasures lies deep devotion, the kind people fear will be exposed and trampled underfoot.

Better to hurt someone first than be betrayed.

[Content Warnings]

4. For mature readers. Includes infidelity, one-night stands, scheming, and more...

5. Everyone is an adult, and nobody is blinded by love. These are relationships between adults of normal intelligence. Everyone has flaws and shortcomings. Some can't express themselves, while others say hurtful things. Neither the main characters nor the supporting cast are perfect.

6. There is a long section in the middle focused on Bai Yu's memories, with no Su Fang. If you only want to read about the Su-Bai couple, skip to Chapter 36.

7. As for the ending... it's hard to say whether it's a bad ending or a happy ending. Decide for yourself.

There is no sweetness after the hardship, only the need to keep moving forward.
