Chu Jiqiu's mother died when he was young. His father remarried, and from then on, he was bullied and humiliated by his wicked stepmother and half-brother.

Tricked by his boyfriend into leaving his dance troupe, he struggled to become an obscure minor actor, only to be framed by his top-tier star brother and vilified and mocked across the internet. His father even kicked him out of the house.

He thought his boyfriend was his only salvation. Then, before long, he caught the cheating scumbag in bed with his own brother.

Faced with the scumbag's indifference and his brother's smug taunts, Chu Jiqiu broke up with him on the spot. In the middle of a thunderstorm, he drove back to his apartment in despair. His brakes failed, he crashed, and he lost his memory.

When he woke, a dignified, impeccably dressed man sat beside his hospital bed.

Chu Jiqiu thought he looked familiar.

Yu Zhenian asked coldly, "Do you know who I am?"

Chu Jiqiu ducked his head like a timid ostrich. "Of course."

Yu Zhenian curled his lips in scorn, ready to toss him an agreement and send away the money-grubbing little nobody who had set his sights on his nephew.

But Chu Jiqiu blushed bright red and tugged at his sleeve, his voice soft and sweet.

"You're my boyfriend."

Yu Zhenian silently put the agreement away.

Never mind. The kid's not quite right in the head. He can kick him out later.

He never expected that once the old flame caught, he would never have the heart to send him away.

·

A dark horse has appeared in showbiz: stunning looks, outstanding acting, and overflowing talent. The roles he plays win awards as soon as they hit the screen, and the dance dramas he stars in sell out every seat.

Only then do netizens realize he's the obscure minor actor who was cyberbullied a few months ago, and that it was all orchestrated by a disgraced former top-tier star.

"All you trolls from before, come out and apologize! We'll protect the world's loveliest wife!"

"Our baby is so strong. He had to pretend he couldn't remember, even with all those cruel comments. Mommy feels so bad for him, sob!"

The scumbag boyfriend who refuses to give up comes to his door. Wearing a shirt several sizes too big, Chu Jiqiu shows off his startlingly pale, long legs and sleepily asks, "Sorry, who are you?"

The scumbag's eyes redden. "You little bitch! Quit pretending to have amnesia! Who's inside?"

The next second, a man steps out and positions himself between him and Chu Jiqiu.

The scumbag is ready to curse him out, but the moment he recognizes the man, he turns pale with shock.

The handsome man before him, with his stern features, is the current head of the Yu family: Yu Zhenian, the uncle he has feared since childhood.

Yu Zhenian shields Chu Jiqiu and gives him a cool glance. "Your father should have taught you not to be disrespectful to your elders."

"Apologize to your aunt."

[Bonus Scene]

After sharing a room with Yu Zhenian once, Chu Jiqiu clings to him and insists they sleep together.

Yu Zhenian looks at him strangely. "Can't you sleep by yourself?"

Chu Jiqiu's little face crumples in a pout. "But... you're my boyfriend."

Yu Zhenian sighs and scoops Chu Jiqiu, who's crouched in the corner drawing circles, into the master bedroom.

Then one day, Chu Jiqiu regains his memory and realizes in horror that the man beside him isn't his boyfriend.

He is about to sneak away when he's pulled into a broad, warm embrace. A hot breath brushes his ear, making his face burn.

Yu Zhenian presses his lips close to his ear. "What, don't want to sleep with your boyfriend anymore?"

● A sweet, clingy, silly beauty x a cold-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside, fatherly older lover. Eight-year age gap.

● A slow-burn, everyday story of mutual healing, a mindless, illogical sweet treat. Expect indulgent wish fulfillment and no angst.

● The amnesia, classical dance, and showbiz elements are all fictional inventions.

"A timid, adorable introverted artist and secretary who has the nerve to fantasize but never act x a well-endowed, daddy-type voice actor and CEO who seems chaste but privately has a very active imagination"

Su Jiang works as a secretary in the CEO's office.

His side gig is drawing comics meant for adult eyes.

To focus on his creative work after hours, Su Jiang moves out of his family's villa and rents a spacious apartment in a quiet neighborhood, recommended by a voice actor he likes online.

The apartment is great in every way, except the soundproofing isn't very good.

He's never met the neighbor upstairs, but he often hears strange noises in the middle of the night.

Sometimes it's a warning spoken in a low voice, sometimes an excited taunt, and sometimes... a heart-racing, blushing... pant.

Su Jiang hides under his blanket, his face bright red. The next day, he shows up at work with dark circles under his eyes and gets a furious dressing-down from his boss. He goes home that night and keeps working on his comic, then falls into the same cycle: "hears the upstairs noises, can't sleep, gets yelled at, works on his comic."

On the Nth day of getting chewed out with dark circles under his eyes, he finally can't take it anymore and rings the upstairs neighbor's doorbell.

The door opens. A tall man wearing a bath towel and gold-rimmed glasses stands there.

Su Jiang's eyes widen in shock. "Hello... you're..."

The neighbor's features are sharp and deep-set. "I'm what?"

Su Jiang thinks the voice sounds familiar. He swallows. "You're... you're so big."

The neighbor looks strangely at the slender young man. "Can I help you with something?"

Summoning every last bit of courage, Su Jiang says, "H-hello... could you please stop panting?"

Neighbor: ?

-

The complaint works. In less than a day, the noises from upstairs disappear completely.

But now Su Jiang can't sleep.

His favorite voice actor suddenly announces his retirement.

It should be a rare night of good sleep, but Su Jiang once again waits for his boss to tear into him, listless and sporting dark circles.

But his boss has been replaced.

Su Jiang looks up and meets a pair of deep, narrow, alluring eyes.

He slowly backs away.

Th-this... isn't that neighbor upstairs who pants so much???

They come face to face, and Su Jiang awkwardly decides to greet him. "Good morning, Mr. CEO..."

The CEO raises an eyebrow. "I'm so big?"

Su Jiang's face turns red.

-

Everyone at the company says the new CEO is a handsome, aloof, chaste god.

Only Su Jiang knows that his new boss used to have a particularly "wild" private life, and that he's very "vindictive."

He often makes Su Jiang work overtime. The rest of the time, he either wants Su Jiang to have sukiyaki with him at lunch, go home together and bake little cakes after work, or give up his weekends to go fishing for goldfish in the park!

Su Jiang is furious but doesn't dare say a word, so he draws the CEO into an erotic comic to get revenge.

To reward Su Jiang for spending his twenty-fourth birthday working overtime with the CEO, his childhood friend pays a fortune to bring the retired voice actor out of retirement to record a scene from his comic.

Su Jiang gets more and more excited listening in the office, until... a familiar pant escapes the voice actor's lips.

It sounds a little like the neighbor upstairs.

Then he watches the CEO walk out of his office, wearing the chaste-looking suit Su Jiang designed for him in the comic.

Su Jiang starts to feel all itchy and restless.

The next second, the CEO pins him between the desks, one arm locked tight around his waist.

"Didn't you ask me to stop panting?" The CEO's warm lips brush his ear, seemingly by chance.

"Looks like... you like it now."

#How my favorite voice actor became my neighbor (and landlord), then my boss, and finally the daddy I drew into an explicit comic#

-

Su Jiang always thought that every time he and Luo Hanshu crossed paths, it was fate.

Only after they got together did he learn that this so-called wonderful fate was all part of a long-planned scheme!
