Naturally faithless, cold-hearted beauty bottom * refined scum / gloomy ghost / clingy crybaby
Chi Huai understood from a very young age that, aside from power and money, everything else in the world was an illusion.
Affection was fake, love was empty. You could give someone else a hug, and after kissing your lips, kiss someone else's face.
At the school's centennial celebration, Chi Huai ran into the Jiang family's young master, who was hiding in the restroom, about to have a cigarette.
The suit on the man was top of the line, his leather shoes polished to a shine. A huge gemstone was set in the brooch at his collar, and a gleaming gold Rolex adorned his wrist.
Chi Huai walked over with a smile. "Need a hand?"
Jiang Zhaoxi glanced at the pretty young man before him, not missing the greed, desire, and ambition in his eyes.
"Sure." The man stepped closer. "How do you want to help?"

Chi Huai sat on Jiang Zhaoxi's lap, a lit matchstick between his lips.
"Trying to seduce me?"
"Not enough yet."
Reckless kisses, frequent intimacy between lovers...
Jiang Zhaoxi never expected to fall for a little con artist.
Six months later, the chairman of the Jiang family brought home the illegitimate son he'd kept hidden outside the family.
Jiang Zhaoxi watched Chi Huai turn and throw himself into another man's arms.
In the stairwell...
"Why him?"
Jiang Zhaoxi bit Chi Huai's neck, his eyes red.
Chi Huai still smiled. "Didn't you know from the start?"
Don't pretend. You people who think you're above everyone else.
