My Long-Dead Ex Is Back

Wen Yao, the youngest son of the Wen family in Haishi, was arrogant and domineering from childhood, convinced no one could touch him. As soon as he set foot on Haida University's campus, he took the poor academic ace Pei Shuhuai from the computer science department next door by force.

The young man was tall and handsome, and even the little mole on his pinky was alluring in its restraint.

Wen Yao only meant to dump him once he'd grown bored, but the other man disappeared without a word first.

Wen Yao decisively squeezed every last bit of value out of his ex, constantly claiming his lover had died a tragic death. When the Wen family went bankrupt and he faced the threat of an arranged marriage, he successfully played the part of a grieving, heartbroken widower.

Then, three years later, he casually threw down the little money he had left to tip a host at a nightclub, only to be grabbed by the collar and dragged out of a crowd of pretty boys.

That was when he learned that the poor ex he'd claimed was long dead and buried had become a ruthless tech tycoon worth tens of billions in Haishi.

Pei Shuhuai, dressed in a bespoke business suit, was even more strikingly handsome than before. But his tone was full of scorn.

"Someone said I was dead?"

"What's your going rate at the club?"

Remembering how vindictive Pei Shuhuai used to be, Wen Yao let go of the pinky he'd bitten until it bled, raised his chin, and named an astronomical price. "Ten billion?"

And then...

He moved into Pei Shuhuai's luxury apartment in the city center, where each square meter cost half a million, and began raising hell.

He wanted fine clothes and jewels, as well as exquisite delicacies.

He also wanted President Pei himself to eat and sleep with him.

If anyone asked, well, if he was going to die anyway, Wen Yao was going to die a playboy!

Word had it that the bad-tempered young master of the fallen Wen family was being kept by the ruthless Pei Shuhuai.

The rich young heirs of Haishi, who had seen Wen Yao humiliate Pei in every possible way back in the day, gloated and assumed Wen Yao wouldn't last three months. Instead, they received a beautifully crafted wedding invitation.

On the gold-flecked paper, the handwritten calligraphy was neat and deliberate, each stroke forceful and confident.

The names of the newlyweds: Wen Yao and Pei Shuhuai.

The rich young heirs of Haishi: Am I seeing things? The spoiled, promiscuous young master of the Wen family actually made it to the top!

Pei Shuhuai fell in love with Wen Yao in three stages.

He hated him, resented him, and spent day and night wanting to skin him, dismember him, and devour him whole.
