Ye Xun is five years old, innocent, sweet, and adorable.
He is a pampered, beautiful young master from a top-tier wealthy family.
But after a car accident that killed both his parents, he suffered a head injury, and his mind remained forever around the age of five.
He and Grandpa Ye depend on each other for everything.
Jiang Qin is nine years old. His eyes are dark and wary, and he has roamed the streets since he was little.
When he is riled up, he dares to fight wild dogs for food.
His father is unknown, and his mother is hopelessly addicted to gambling.
Any man she brings home who takes a dislike to him gets a couple of kicks for his trouble, and Jiang Qin can bite off a chunk of his hand.
After that, they fear him and curse as they go around him.
Grandpa Ye finds Jiang Qin and promises him a lifetime of wealth and status, helping him rise to the top.
The condition is this:
The old man points his cane at the little boy chasing butterflies in the garden and says,
“You must be Ye Xun’s dog for the rest of your life.
Be loyal. Protect your master.”
The defiant boy breaks free on the spot. “I’m not going to serve some idiot!”
He kicks away the bodyguard pinning him down. “Get lost!”
-
The boy despises and rejects the little fool, but his parents, eager to curry favor with the Ye family, force him to stay by Ye Xun’s side.
With his face bruised, Jiang Qin lies in a childish, garishly colorful, oversized playroom, his mind blank with disgust.
The other living creature in the room, Ye Xun, is bursting with energy now that he has arrived.
Jiang Qin covers his head and tries to sleep. Ye Xun climbs on top of him, nearly crushing the breath out of him. “Big brother, get up!”
His stomach growls. Ye Xun patters over, nearly poking him in the nose with a child’s spoon. “Big brother, food!”
At the end of his patience, he tries glaring, teasing, threatening, intimidating, and saying really nasty things...
But the little child still opens his arms and toddles toward him, pattering over with an adorable, healing smile.
“Big brother! Big brother!”
Caught off guard, Jiang Qin is met with the soft, squishy little bundle crashing into his arms.
The boy stands frozen, turning his head away as he grumbles to himself,
“Idiot.”

Years later,
Jiang Qin, a rising Silicon Valley tech mogul, is in Los Angeles for a business meeting.
In a restaurant, a young Chinese pianist is being berated by the floor manager, his face red, but he stubbornly refuses to play a famous piano piece.
Jiang Qin hears the young man awkwardly say in English,
“I only play this piece for someone I love.”
On impulse, Jiang Qin walks over and stuffs a wad of dollar bills onto the piano.
“But what if I want to hear it?”
The moment he looks up and sees Ye Xun’s startled, bewildered expression, he regrets it.
