The Aloof Beauty Was Rotten to the Core All Along

Blurb:

After the Fu family goes bankrupt, Fu Can goes from a proud young master to someone anyone can trample on.

Yu Boyan, meanwhile, is the young head of the Yu family: cold and celibate, a lofty flower on a high mountain that everyone wants to pluck but no one dares approach.

But one day, the lofty flower steps into the down-and-out young master's rented room and says, "Fu Can, how about being mine?"

Fu Can meets his refined, handsome gaze, his eyes fierce as a little wolf's, but he says, "Fine."

Fu Can and Yu Boyan start dating. On the surface, they're a couple, but in reality, it's a partnership. Each has their own agenda.

To make working together easier, Yu Boyan asks him to move into his villa.

Fu Can agrees.

He's given the master bedroom. Yu Boyan hardly ever sleeps there, so Fu Can doesn't mind.

Then Yu Boyan wants to share his bed.

They say Yu Boyan has no desire for anyone or anything, like an immortal who has cultivated a path of emotional detachment. Besides, they're both men. Sharing a bed is no big deal.

Later, Yu Boyan asks:

"Want to kiss?"

"Want to do it?"

"Is that okay?"

Fu Can: "…"

Once the switch is flipped, he can never turn it off again.

So much for the celibate flower on a high mountain. Yu Boyan was already rotten to the core.

*

Yu Boyan hates passion and desire, and anything that makes him lose control. Fu Can happens to be both.

Yet he brings him home.

He lets this prickly little beast grow, teaching him how to face enemies and danger. They even sleep together, but then the little thing says he wants to end it.

There was never going to be an end from the start.

He doesn't know that the lofty flower, who seems untouched by passion and desire to the outside world, has already fallen into depravity for him.

Before he even realized it, Yu Boyan had fallen in love with Fu Can. A deeper subconscious drove him to act, to get close, to claim him, to make him his own. It was instinct.

My Ex Became the Real Young Master

In high school, Luo Mingke was poor, hardworking, and handsome, always at the top of his class.

Plenty of people wanted to win him over, but he never gave anyone much attention.

Except Fang Qingchi.

Fang Qingchi came from a wealthy family, beautiful and refined. He and Luo Mingke had been together once, but their breakup was ugly.

That day, Luo Mingke stood in the rain. After listening to the recording, he looked at Fang Qingchi with a coldness he'd never shown before. "Did you ever love me at all?"

Fang Qingchi smiled. "You're making this pathetic by refusing to let go."

Luo Mingke left and never looked back.

Years later, the once-poor top student had become an up-and-coming business tycoon, while the Fang family was facing bankruptcy.

That's when it came to light that their identities had been switched: Fang Qingchi was the fake young master, and Luo Mingke the real one.

"Qingchi, you've taken Mingke's place for all these years and enjoyed the Fang family's wealth. You can't just do nothing."

"Qingchi, you owe Mingke."

His parents told him to ingratiate himself with Luo Mingke and win him back.

Fang Qingchi smiled as if none of it mattered. He did owe Luo Mingke.

"Fine. I'll go."

*

In the dim room, the man shoved him onto the sofa. "Fang Qingchi, when you called me a dog for following you around back then, did you ever think you'd end up begging me to fuck you?"

Fang Qingchi was breathless, but a provoking smile appeared on his face. "Weren't you the one who told me to beg? Luo Mingke, you still love me."

"Keep dreaming! Fang Qingchi, I'll never love you!"

Later, Luo Mingke kept him by his side. He personally cut off whatever Fang Qingchi didn't want, and gave him whatever he liked with both hands. He could hardly stop himself from treating him like a treasure.

Waking in the middle of the night, he looked at the sleeping man beside him and couldn't help asking hoarsely, "Qingchi, promise you'll never leave me again, okay?"

* A melodramatic romance between the real and fake young masters. He says he doesn't love him, but loves him more than anyone.
