Deliberately Kept

■ Series | A standalone story | A let-loose kind of work

■ Cold on the outside, soft within, patient and resilient bottom x once a playboy, now devoted, restrained and mature top

For Fang Qu, the first nineteen years of his life were a constant struggle, passed from one place to another and dependent on others for a roof over his head.

He was like a weed by the roadside, trampled by anyone who felt like it.

On his nineteenth birthday, he met a man.

The man's eyes shone like stars. Gentle and tender, he led Fang Qu out of the chaotic entertainment industry and told him he could go back to school.

Only later did Fang Qu learn the man's name: Zhou Shili.

He was the head of Jiangjing's medical conglomerate.

And the man who changed Fang Qu's fate.
