Everyone knows that Ruan Mi sold himself to climb the ladder, all for wealth and splendor.
A Beta from the slums actually dreams of trampling every chosen one underfoot and climbing to the highest seat of power. It's laughable.
The high-ranking Alphas despise and scorn him... but they also desperately crave him.
They crave Ruan Mi's gaze, his favor, and, most of all, his love.
The Alphas offer him everything they have, sparing no expense, and try to bind him with marriage.
Ruan Mi looks at the Alphas and smiles softly. “Sorry, I'm not really interested in marriage. But if you're willing to offer me your money and power, I can give you the chance to become one of my lovers.”

At eighteen, Ruan Mi was thrilled to receive a ring set with tiny diamonds. At twenty-eight, when a luxurious ten-carat diamond ring is pushed toward him, he feels nothing but boredom and ennui.
After all, he has so many rings like that, he could play with them like stones.
And he's long past the age when a diamond ring could make his heart flutter.
#Ruan Mi is the only main character. Everyone else is supporting cast. He has several relationships throughout his life, each of them one-on-one, and in the end, after he rises to the highest position, he chooses to enjoy life on his own.
##There will be children, but much later. Having a child is Ruan Mi's own choice, not something forced on him or used to bind him.
###Writing the kind of story I want to read: a beloved-by-all protagonist and powerful people clawing at each other for love. Let's talk things out. If it's not your thing, please just leave. Thanks. (I've already taken screenshots of the blurb. I'll try to build up a decent backlog before I start posting.)
Theme: Always love yourself, believe in yourself, and fight for everything you want.
