Obsessive, younger, purehearted loyal-dog seme × carefree, languid, alluring beauty shou who doesn't know he's flirting

Ning Ke, head of the Ning Group, had worked tirelessly and exhausted himself for the company until he became seriously ill. He committed suicide by jumping off a bridge spanning the river.

Unfortunately, he was incredibly unlucky. Not only did he fail to die, he also transmigrated into a modern wish-fulfillment novel and became a miserable wage slave all over again.

The original owner of his body was the adopted son of the prestigious Xie family, a celebrated figure in Xijing and the powerful, aristocratic CEO of the Xie Group.

He was a born winner, until his adoptive father found his biological son, Xie Xing, who had been lost for eighteen years.

As a proper vicious villain, the original owner constantly beat and abused Xie Xing. In the end, he got the full package: stripped of his power, bankrupt, and left homeless. Warm and considerate service, all included.

Ning Ke: ...How cliche.

He'd had more than enough of the crushing burden of being a financial genius in his past life, so this time, Ning Ke decided to let himself go completely.

A business battle? What business battle? He'd hire a cleaner to pull the plug on his internet!

As for the plot, he had planned to keep things peaceful with Xie Xing and go their separate ways in the end. But when he actually met the boy, whose life had been so tragic and cruel, he couldn't help softening toward him.

...Enough. I feel sorry for him!

Ning Ke started doing everything he could for him, giving him his whole heart, while caring for the boy's mental health and hoping he'd take over the company soon so Ning Ke could enjoy a lovely retirement.

So he didn't notice that Xie Xing's gaze was becoming more and more troubling.

Only when Ning Ke was tied up by the wrist with a necktie and locked in a villa did he suddenly realize that his little puppy had turned into a wolf cub.

Some time later, Ning Ke finally got his wish and retired from the front lines. But he was still very tired, especially at night.

That day, Xie Xing pinned the proud beauty, who had just dominated a business negotiation, against the headboard and nuzzled his neck like a big dog.

"Sir, have I ever told you that I'll love you forever?"

"...I know now."

P.S.:

1. Younger seme. The age gap is six years, and both are adults when they start dating. A one-on-one relationship, with both leads sexually inexperienced and faithful to each other throughout.

2. The leads are not blood-related, and everyone in the story knows it.

3. There will be some melodramatic elements in the middle and later parts, such as reuniting after a breakup and non-consensual love.

4. The author isn't a professional in the relevant field, so the plot may not be entirely accurate. Just enjoy the story.

Theme: Cross the hardships, and dawn will break.
