Jiang Qili always thought he was lucky. He was an orphan from a young age, but the kind Jiang couple adopted him.
His greatest source of guilt was falling in love with the son of the Jiang family, the people who had raised him.
The moment the other man caught him stealing a kiss, Jiang Qili thought everything was over. To his surprise, Jiang Wenyun accepted his confession!
But later, he couldn't understand why the boyfriend who had cared for him for more than a decade claimed he'd always been single, agreed to an arranged engagement, and said he'd never loved him.
The happiest fifteen years of his life had been nothing but a dream.
Now that he'd woken up, it was time to end it.

Jiang Wenyun desperately searched for the person who had suddenly disappeared.
Later, at a gathering in the capital, he saw a familiar profile that had appeared only in his dreams for the past three years, with another, unfamiliar man holding him intimately around the waist.
Out of Jiang Qili's sight, Lu Lingchu kicked Jiang Wenyun into a corner against the wall.
"You don't know, do you? He looks strong in both body and mind, but just a light touch on his waist and he goes completely soft..."
Jiang Wenyun's eyes instantly reddened. He was about to lose it again.

With over a decade of experience caring for others, Jiang Qili naturally excels as Lu Lingchu's personal housekeeper. But why...
When he's helping Lu Lingchu practice boxing, does Lu Lingchu only ever attack his waist?
When he's struggling to learn how to swim in the pool, why is Lu Lingchu always holding him by the waist?
As a macho man, he absolutely cannot let anyone know that his waist is sensitive!
Looking at Jiang Qili, whose face is flushed and body gone soft even as he stubbornly pretends nothing's wrong, Lu Lingchu smiles knowingly.

It starts with cooking for him, then turns into accompanying him to banquets and meeting his friends, until before long, Jiang Qili finds himself being taken home to the Lu family...
Jiang Qili: ? Something's not right.
Lu Lingchu: I just think that being Mrs. Lu suits you better than being my housekeeper.

1. Top's perspective, with a new love interest.
2. It's sweet! He's very sweet with the one he's meant to be with!
3. The cannon-fodder bottom gets a little regret-and-redemption arc.
4. The top has defined muscles, a big chest, a shapely butt, and a very sensitive waist! He's also a little domestic!
