The White Moonlight Coveted by a Gloomy Lover Turns Out to Be a Psycho

Qiao Lian's father was a gambler, and his mother abandoned him when he was seven.

An alcoholic father, neighbors who spread baseless rumors, and a black-hearted boss who paid miserly wages... Qiao Lian was practically a little bitter melon.

Then, that year, Young Master Qi was sent to oversee a subsidiary owned by the Qi family.

The crooked boss was caught embezzling public funds and sent to prison.

Even the wages he owed were repaid many times over by the Qi family.

Qiao Lian's biggest regret was not being able to thank his benefactor in person that day. He thought they would never cross paths again, but a few days later, his benefactor suddenly transferred to his school.

Qiao Lian steeled himself and worked up the courage to say, "Thank you."

Qi Xiao'an clenched his hands until they turned blue, just to keep from laughing out loud with joy.

*

Qi Xiao'an, the one and only heir to the illustrious Qi family.

Though young, he was already fabulously wealthy.

And this legendary figure had fallen in love at first sight and thrown a fit until he was transferred to a school in some remote backwater. Everyone in his social circle called it childish nonsense.

Only Qi Xiao'an knew that the first time he saw him, his heart had nearly leaped out of his throat.

When they met again, Qi Xiao'an carefully laid his plans, deliberately setting up one encounter after another and dangling the bait of a favor owed. He put on a cold, aloof act in public, but in his heart, he wanted nothing more than to tear off his own pretenses and drag Qiao Lian home at once.

*

And that was exactly what he did.

With his eyes covered, Qiao Lian felt the person behind him press close. The icy chain sent a shiver through him.

Qi Xiao'an fastened a dog collar around his own neck and locked the leash to Qiao Lian's hand. With his eyes blindfolded and his body under Qiao Lian's control, every part of him was laid bare to Qi Xiao'an.

Qi Xiao'an contentedly buried his face against Qiao Lian's collarbone and coaxed, "Don't be scared, baby."

"I'm your dog."

"How could a dog ever hurt its master..."

Note:

1. The gong is eighteen at the start, while the shou is seventeen. He takes care of his future wife first, spoils him until he's pampered, and only starts dating him once he's an adult. (Important.)

2. Mild BDSM.

3. The gong calls the shou his master because the shou has had a miserable life from childhood, which made him as timid as a little snail. So Qi Xiao'an decided to make himself a dog for Qiao Lian to do with as he pleased. It's just Qi Xiao'an's idea of fun. Who doesn't want to be their wife's dog? (The downside is that the shou has a hard time keeping up whenever they get intimate.)
