As a disposable side character, his role is to cause misunderstandings between the main couple. In the end, the protagonist, who reforms and chases his lover back, throws him to a group of thugs to be used as a human rag, all to vent the protagonist's love interest's anger. Xia Songbai: “…?” If he wants to vent his anger, he can castrate himself. Why does he have to use me as a human rag? Xia Songbai doesn't want to be a vicious disposable character, much less a human rag. In this world, being single is tantamount to coveting the protagonist. The only way to survive is to find a partner. Xia Songbai diligently studies the book and researches his potential love interests, only to discover that each supporting character is a classic type. There's the charming young Buddhist of the capital's elite circle, an illegitimate son of a wealthy family, an entertainment-industry superstar, and even a foreign prince… There are too many potential targets, but Xia Songbai takes a different path and boldly decides to seduce the strongest villain in the book's nephew. After all, young Shen Zhao is much easier to win over than these big shots. Besides, he's tall and handsome, studies at Harvard, is a cheerful golden retriever of a guy, and gets a two-million-yuan trust fund every month. Most importantly, the only person who can put the Mary Sue protagonist in his place is Shen Zhao's villainous uncle. * Shen Tingzong is the most powerful villain in the whole book. Extremely mysterious, he only appears in the final chapters, yet casually crushes the business empire built by the protagonist. If the author hadn't written him out in a forced plane crash, the protagonist would have gone bankrupt. Hoping to become the nephew-in-law approved by this big shot, Xia Songbai works hard to act sweet and well-behaved. He checks in three times a day, and even the way he calls him “Little Uncle” is enough to melt his heart. No matter how cold Shen Tingzong is, Xia Songbai keeps trying again and again, never giving up. At last, on the day he wins Shen Tingzong's approval, Xia Songbai happily walks up to him with Shen Zhao's arm in his. But as the usually reserved, cool, and unruffled man stares at their joined hands, the exquisite pale-jade glass cup he is holding slips from his fingertips and shatters across the floor. That night, Shen Tingzong holds Xia Songbai on his lap and kisses the vivid little mole on his neck, again and again. “Didn't you say you liked me? So you were lying.” The man wipes a tear from the corner of his eye. An enormous pigeon-blood ruby ring glitters ambiguously on his long, slender fingers. “Have they kissed you like this? Even if they have…” “I'll show you what the best really feels like.” As he speaks, the man calmly takes off his fine gold-rimmed glasses, revealing a pair of grayish-purple eyes Shen Tingzong, a mixed-race bastard, a gentle and dignified Hong Kong underworld kingpin, and the true power behind the entire East Asian underworld. At last, in this moment, he reveals his true self. △One-on-one, both virgins, happy ending △The bottom is irresistible, a love con artist and a flirtatious little sweetheart. Plenty of unrequited crushes, but Shen Tingzong is the only true top. Please add my new novel, I Love Money, But the Big Shot Marry-Forces Me, to your library [Super-sweet, flirtatious bottom x domineering, old-fashioned top] Eight-year age gap|A sweet-talking actor who doesn't mean it and loves money vs. an ultra-controlling big shot with a late-blooming obsession Wang Zhi is a third-tier actor who uses his good looks to land a rich fiancé. The first time he meets his fiancé's powerful older brother, Gao Bochong, Wang Zhi thinks he looks familiar. Gao Bochong is a business magnate from a wealthy family. He's kept himself pure for thirty years without a single scandal, radiating the coldness of someone born to rule. He wears gold-rimmed, half-frame glasses on his straight nose, and his gaze on Wang Zhi is utterly brazen. Wang Zhi doesn't dare read too much into it. He does his best to act sweet and well-behaved, hoping to marry into wealth. Then one day, he's trapped on Gao Bochong's lap, barely holding on. His fiancé is outside the door, while Gao Bochong rubs his wrist and says in a cold, mocking voice, “Go home and think carefully about when we first met.” Wang Zhi goes rigid. Because he's remembered that Gao Bochong might be the stranger he had a one-night stand with before running off. * Gao Bochong has kept himself pure for thirty years, only to have someone sleep with him and run away. The person who slept with him had a slender waist and long legs. When Gao Bochong held him by the waist against the sink, the neck he tilted back was long and delicate, so fragile and beautiful that Gao Bochong wanted to make him cry. It was the first time Gao Bochong had realized he could become so obsessed with a beautiful body. When they meet again, the owner of that beautiful body has become his future younger brother-in-law. Sitting beside his younger brother, he sweetly and obediently calls him, “Big Brother.” His eyes are bright, innocent, and docile. Gao Bochong remembers that night: the young man's voice had broken and trembled, tears at the corners of his eyes had been hot, and he had bitten Gao Bochong's finger as he urged him, incoherently, to hurry up. His eyes had been seductive, his allure intoxicating. For the first time in his life, the self-disciplined Mr. Gao finds a thoroughly despicable desire stirring in his heart. * Wang Zhi can't give up his fiancé, his meal ticket, and he's afraid Gao Bochong will realize who he is. Then Gao Bochong starts sending him all kinds of jewelry and an S+ talent contract. Wang Zhi is both surprised and delighted. He thinks this is Gao Bochong's severance pay, but before he can say “I do,” he really does marry into a wealthy family. Not his fiancé, but Gao Bochong. Gao Bochong has broad shoulders and a wide back, and is twice Wang Zhi's size. He looks huge, intimidating, and impossible to fool. Remembering how that night was both pleasurable and painful, Wang Zhi is just about to protest when Gao Bochong slides a card toward him. The legendary black card. After checking that it really has no spending limit, Wang Zhi thinks cheerfully that changing husbands isn't such a big deal after all. Gao Bochong sees right through him and sneers, thinking he's such a gold digger and so easy to buy off. Wang Zhi suddenly looks up at him and smiles, eyes curving as if they hold stars. He comes over on his own, sits on Gao Bochong's lap, wraps his arms around his neck, and sweetly says, “Honey.” That night, Gao Bochong nearly breaks Wang Zhi's back. But when Wang Zhi wakes up, he discovers Gao Bochong has bought him an island covered in roses. Wang Zhi is in pain and bliss at once. Gao Bochong thinks he's so unsophisticated as he watches him happy, but still can't help lowering his head toward him. Wang Zhi obediently raises his head. Morning sunlight falls on his face, his skin glowing white and his lips a vivid red. As Gao Bochong kisses him, Wang Zhi says with heartfelt sincerity, “Honey, I love you so much.” Sweet talk. That's what Gao Bochong thinks, but his body's growing heat can't lie. His voice is calm, but his heart is racing. “I love you too.” * At first, Gao Bochong thinks Wang Zhi is just a sweet-talking gold digger, a pretty boy worth keeping around for fun. In the end, Gao Bochong is grateful he has money, a whole lot of money, enough to buy Wang Zhi's entire life and keep him by his side. △One-on-one, both virgins, happy ending △Age gap, size difference, status difference △Neither lead is perfect.
