Coming this year, for sure!
Rekindled romance | A prickly, affection-starved puppy × a gloomy control freak
Wen Jin is the most doted-on young master in a wealthy family, blessed with exceptional looks and talent and adored by everyone.
That is, until he turns twenty-four, when the housekeeper brings home another young man.
Only then does he learn that he was switched at birth and is the family’s fake young master.
Thrown out of the Wen family with nowhere to go, Wen Jin gets a flat tire on a stormy night.
Just as he thinks he will be stuck out in the rain all night, an umbrella opens above his head.
Beneath it stands his ex-boyfriend, whom he hasn’t seen in years, now mature and cold.
Back then, Wen Jin was willful and proud, taking advantage of Cheng Songyan’s gentleness and patience to act however he pleased. It never occurred to him that he might actually break up with Cheng Songyan.
But they broke up all the same.
Now the man stands before him with a dark expression, looking down at him and saying coldly, “So this is what it’s come to for you.”
-
Cheng Songyan has gone from the impoverished student he used to be to the CEO of a publicly listed company.
They say he’s ruthless in business and never goes easy on anyone. He especially hates arrogant rich kids.
If anyone qualifies as arrogant, Wen Jin comes first. No one else comes close.
Wen Jin expects Cheng Songyan to kick him while he’s down, but instead, the man reaches out with one long arm, scoops the soaked Wen Jin into his embrace, and takes him home.
Wen Jin is thin-skinned and cares about his pride. He protests even as Cheng Songyan carries him and tosses him into the bathtub, but then Cheng Songyan says nothing and reaches to undo his pants.
After his bath, Cheng Songyan tells him to come to the study.
A marriage agreement lies on the desk. The man stares right at his collarbone. “Sign it, and I’ll help you get everything back.”
Wen Jin signs without hesitation.
Everyone says he’s been spoiled rotten and has no ability to take over the family business.
But Cheng Songyan is the only person in the world who knows how ambitious he is.
-
Wen Jin signs readily and skims the agreement, failing to notice the “Obligations of Both Parties” at the end:
1. Neither party may refuse any normal physical contact during the marriage.
2. Neither party may associate with anyone they have a flirtatious relationship with.
3. Neither party may stay out all night.
4. Neither party may sleep in separate beds.
5. Neither party may drink with other men.
Wen Jin assumes Cheng Songyan will indulge him like he used to.
Only after they’re married does he realize that his once doting, fatherly boyfriend is gone, replaced by…
When Cheng Songyan smells unfamiliar perfume on him, he strips Wen Jin bare and carries him into the tub to bathe together, nearly making him pass out;
When Cheng Songyan sees him talking to a former flirtation at a party, he silently watches him all night, then finally drags him away in full view of everyone;
Before long, everyone in the business world knows that CEO Cheng, who hates rich kids, has married the fake young master of the Wen family, a spoiled and arrogant brat. His possessiveness and need for control are terrifying.
But only Wen Jin knows that while he puts up a front of defiance, he secretly enjoys it.
He wants money, and he wants lots and lots of love.
Reader’s guide:
1. One is willing to dish it out, the other is happy to take it.
2. The older partner is tentatively four years older.
