Luo Qiao was an illegitimate child who had to be kept out of sight, raised by the Luo family in a dark, lightless basement.
The Luo family regarded him as a disgrace and left him to fend for himself.
Until his blood sample proved compatible with He Qingyan, the eldest son of a noble vampire family.
The Luo family sacrificed him to He Qingyan, gaining a foothold in high society in return.

He Qingyan had found his blood-bonded partner.
At first, he treated it as a transaction, planning to send Luo Qiao back to the Luo family once his powers had stabilized.
But when he saw the boy shivering in a corner by the fireplace, timid and tender, with fair skin and striking looks, he couldn't help teasing him just a little.
From then on, he wanted to cherish Luo Qiao in the palm of his hand. No one but him would ever be allowed to bully him.

Luo Qiao thought he would spend his whole life in a dark world.
Until one day, he met that man.
The man reminded him to eat dinner, told the servants to turn up the heat in his room, taught him new skills, and held him in his arms to give him medicine when he was sick...
That man was cold and commanding, yet gentle.
When their contract was about to end, he gathered his courage and timidly tugged at the man's sleeve. "Sir, I'll do as you say... Please don't send me back to the Luo family."
That night, the man carried him into the bedroom. He couldn't leave for three days, and after that, he couldn't go back even if he wanted to.

The Luo family thought that trading a useless boy for connections and resources in high society was an incredible bargain.
As for how Luo Qiao was treated in the He household, they didn't care.
A cowardly, weak illegitimate son had probably already been toyed to death by the vampire nobles.
That is, until the He family cut off their funding and reclaimed all their resources and connections, leaving them on the verge of bankruptcy.
Then they saw the illegitimate son they had once scorned, cursed, and abused, nestled in the arms of a noble, aloof man.
The man held gold cutlery and patiently fed Luo Qiao, saying warmly, "Good boy. Eat your fill, so you'll have the strength to get revenge."
A soft, sweet sweetheart, a little bedtime treat.
