A Little Waif, Raised by a Powerful Man

[A domineering top who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals X a timid, insecure, unloved bottom who avoids everything]

On the day Chu Wen received his acceptance letter from his dream university, his family kicked him out. They claimed it was because he was grown up and needed to learn to be independent, but really, they simply didn't want to spend any more money on him.

Luckily, there was still hope. A flyer blew right in front of Chu Wen.

I-it's fine! There's nothing shameful about earning money.

Cheng Lingyuan was a legend in City A.

Rich and powerful.

Someone like him would never have any connection with Chu Wen, not in a million years, until a contract was placed in front of him.

[Room and board included, monthly salary: 100,000]

[Workplace: Mr. Cheng's private residence]

[Job duties: Take care of Mr. Cheng's daily needs, meals, and health]

In short: become his kept lover.

Thinking of the terrifying rumors and feeling his pockets, which were emptier than his face was clean, Chu Wen signed the contract with a trembling hand.

He didn't want to end up floating dead in the Pacific! QAQ

Later, he discovered that even if he didn't end up floating dead in the Pacific, he could still end up "floating dead" somewhere else.

Chu Wen was red and burning all over from crying, his voice hoarse as he punched wildly at the man's chest. "Y-you said I only had to take care of your meals and daily needs, you liar, waaah!"

The man tenderly kissed away his tears, holding him firmly by the waist without loosening his grip as he soothed him.

"Good boy, this is the last time."

The last millionth time.

*

*Both are each other's first and only.

*The top fell in love with the bottom at first sight.

*The couple are sweet and clingy as they fall in love.

*A fluffy romance. The entire plot is just there to make way for the romance.

Marrying My Husband Is No Hardship

Back then, at the peak of his career, top-tier star Rui Xi suddenly announced his marriage to the rising business magnate Shen Zhilan, then swiftly retired from show business.

"He must be madly in love with him."

"This is what peak lovesickness looks like."

"The one who falls in love first loses. You can already see this couple's tragic ending coming."

Everyone thought this was a story about someone risking everything for love.

Only Rui Xi knew the truth.

On the day he signed the papers, he nearly burst out laughing at the marriage bureau.

No more waking up at four in the morning to put on makeup and rush to work.

No more chewing lettuce and breathing air to stay slim.

No more professional smiles in front of the camera until his face went numb.

Now he slept on his husband's chest until he woke naturally.

He went shopping and bought whatever he wanted with his husband's black-and-gold card.

He flew by private jet to Milan to attend a jewelry exhibition.

Rui Xi said that if this counted as suffering, then please let him suffer for the rest of his life!

But an accident sent him back ten years, reborn.

Rui Xi was hailed as a once-in-a-generation star and began making a name for himself in show business. Shen Zhilan, meanwhile, was still a withdrawn boy who was bullied at home and at school.

Shen Zhilan had never wanted to claw his way up in the world. He was nothing but a pile of mud, lying quietly in a corner, waiting to blend into this awful world.

Until a ball of fire burst into his life.

"Honey, rub my back. I made three million after running around at work all day."

"Honey, when are you going to get rich and support me?"

"Honey, I don't want to work anymore, waaah!"

The little star nestled in his arms, complaining coquettishly. Tears filled his beautiful eyes, shining brighter than the world's most expensive jewels.

At that moment, Shen Zhilan could think of only one thing:

The boy in his arms deserved the very best the world had to offer.

So he was willing to place the whole world in his hands.

*Love is never a one-sided sacrifice.

*This is a love story about two people lifting each other up.

*The top spoils the bottom, and the bottom spoils the top too.
