[Please add my other novels, My Beautiful Ex Keeps Flirting with Me After We Reunite and My Unlucky Rabbit's False Pregnancy Comes True, to your collection! QAQ]
Synopsis:
The top rose of Ningcheng is a man.
Min Zhuozhou, the illegitimate son whom the Min family only brought home when he was fifteen, had become a fixture of high society by the age of twenty. Countless people from wealthy families were captivated by him, dreaming of plucking this charming yet prickly rose for themselves.
At twenty-four, the Min family traded the rose they had carefully raised to Pei Che, the only son of the Pei family. The two signed a marriage contract.
Pei Che was aloof and indifferent to matters of love, unlike the rich playboys Min Zhuozhou had met. The slightest hint of tenderness from him became an impossible fantasy in Min Zhuozhou's heart. He was used to being a libertine, but he mistook a love that should have gone no further than a fleeting dalliance for something real.
Then, on a parenting variety show, he met Ji Subai, who had just returned from abroad. By coincidence, they had remarkably similar eyes, right down to the identical, bewitching beauty marks at the corners of their eyes.
The rumors immediately spiraled out of control. Haters mocked Min Zhuozhou, saying he was merely a plaything Pei Che used to remember Ji Subai, yet he shamelessly clung to Pei Che and stopped at nothing to marry into a wealthy family.
Min Zhuozhou ignored the rumors, but then he saw Pei Che and Ji Subai appear side by side at the show's filming location, each holding one of the child's hands. Just the day before, he had publicly denied the rumors that he was a stand-in, only to be slapped in the face by the real deal.
After filming wrapped, Min Zhuozhou found Pei Che. Pei Che's eyes were dark as he said only, "I'll support you, and I'll support the Min family."
With one sentence, he dismissed every feeling they'd ever shared. Min Zhuozhou was in so much pain he almost laughed.
He might as well have fed a libertine's true feelings to the dogs. Min Zhuozhou turned and left, once again becoming that proud, elegant rose, surrounded by admirers and showered with endless affection.
Pei Che had thought Min Zhuozhou would come back. Instead, he saw Min Zhuozhou getting entangled with someone else. He went mad and carried him home, throwing him onto the bed, but all he could see in Min Zhuozhou's eyes was undisguised disgust.
At last, Pei Che understood that Min Zhuozhou had never been dependent on him. He was the one who couldn't live without Min Zhuozhou. With red eyes, he held him tightly in his arms and repeated, "Don't leave me."
Min Zhuozhou remained unmoved. He smiled and leaned close to Pei Che, his voice sweet and full of malice. "Mr. Pei, I don't love you anymore."
[Reading Guide]
1. Pei Che is the seme and Min Zhuozhou is the uke. They are each other's first and only, with an age gap and a happy ending.
2. A devoted, emotionally oblivious aloof seme x a seemingly frivolous, pampered young master who is actually starved for affection and loves to tempt.
3. Same-sex marriage is legal in this setting.
4. The entertainment industry setting is not based on real people. The child on the parenting show is a relative's, not the leads' child.
[Important Content Notes]
1. This is an old-school, angsty groveling romance. The seme suffers, but there is no changing partners.
2. Neither lead is perfect, and it takes time for them to understand and define their feelings for each other. The seme's ability to spot a schemer improves in a spiraling, wave-like process.
3. The characters' values don't represent the author's. I hope everyone has a lovely day. *Bows.*

As soon as he entered the door, Pei Che couldn't wait to kiss Min Zhuozhou, hooked his tie and stumbled towards the room. He pressed Min Zhuozhou on the bed, and before he had time to react, he wrapped his white wrist with the tie he had taken off, and leaned over to kiss his trembling Adam's apple. With a pick of his fingers, Pei Che unbuttoned his front buttons with red eyes, pulled open his shirt, and saw: Preview of the new article in the same series, "My ex-boyfriend has a hidden disease", please collect it (dog's head holding a rose) (shamefully put the lid on the pot and run away, wailing)
Hurry up and send the Wei family in. Not even an east wind is enough for such a big cancer!
I can't describe your article. I think it might be the begonia flower that stayed awake at three o'clock in the morning. It's the only rose in the world. It's the forty-four sunsets in one day. It's the Klein blue in the eyes. It's the endless sunflowers under the white snow. It's the heart of 21 grams. It's the last ray of wind in midsummer. It's every glance in the crowd of people for ten thousand years. It's the attachment in the eyes when love is burning. Love is the heart that still beats for love even if time stops, the romantic ending of every turn, adoration and fanaticism, loneliness and snooping, loneliness and desolation, passion and intoxication, madness and publicity. Although I can speak well, I still can't find the most perfect words to describe your words. Thousands of words can be summed up into one sentence: What a great article!!
It's already like this. If Pei Che can do anything more, I don't know what's going on.
Wwww Mrs. Jiang finally has a sequel wwww, the children are going to be hungry
I got caught doing bad things hahahaha
However, since he is collaborating with his enemies, isn't he afraid that Grandma Dream will come to beat him?
Alas, how should I put it, if there had been no counterfeit drug case, Ji Subai wouldn't have had such a childhood, right?
I think severe punishment is bad luck
Hehe, so excited! The crematorium has officially begun~
