1.
You Yu grew up in an orphanage. Because he was timid and often sick, no adoptive family would take him in, and he grew up relying on public assistance.
After graduating, You Yu found work as a childcare worker. He was poor, but content.
Then one day, he found an injured young man in an alley. The young man was homeless and a student at Jiang University. He was handsome, six foot three, muscular, with deep-set eyes.
You Yu brought him home and took care of him, providing three meals a day.
But the young man ate a lot and was quite particular about his daily needs.
You Yu's already empty wallet was completely drained after the young man arrived.
Just as You Yu was at his wits' end, worrying about next month's rent,
A lawyer came looking for him.
It turned out that before You Yu's parents died, they had saved the young son of a wealthy family in Jiangcheng. The grateful tycoon had arranged a betrothal between the two families.
Who could turn down the allure of a mansion, five million in monthly spending money, and a husband who never came home?
You Yu quickly signed the marriage agreement.
But he still couldn't stop worrying about the young man at home.
He took out a bank card and placed it on the table.
"Qi Heng, this is three million."
"I'm getting married. From now on, I'll use my husband's money to support you."

Qi Heng was the arrogant heartthrob of Jiang University, known for his bad temper and high standards. He was handsome, academically brilliant, and came from a prominent family.
Recently, he had fallen out with his family and moved in with a sickly man.
The sickly man was pale and pretty, with a beauty mark beneath his eye. He looked so frail that a gust of wind might blow him away.
Yet when Qi Heng was cold, he would secretly cover him with a blanket. When he was hungry, he'd make him a late-night meal. When he was sick, he cared for him around the clock.
Qi Heng was troubled.
His friend offered an analysis: "He's so attentive to you. He must like you."
Qi Heng didn't believe it at first.
Not until the sickly man kept drinking from his glass, found excuses to touch him, and even squeezed into the same bed with him.
Then he believed it.
He went back to complain to his friend.
"He's too clingy."
"He cooks for me every day, and gets upset if I can't finish it."
"You wouldn't understand. He's so jealous, and there's no reasoning with him."
Qi Heng experienced the woes of being in love and thought his partner was a bit clingy.
But in the blink of an eye, his partner went off to marry another man and gave him three million as a breakup fee.
Young Master Qi had never suffered such a humiliation in his life!
He was furious.

After Qi Heng returned home, the marriage partner his family had arranged for him had already moved into his second-floor bedroom.
Qi Heng was seething and about to kick him out when he saw You Yu sitting at the desk he had used as a child, flipping through a book with his pale fingers.
Hearing the noise, You Yu raised his eyes to look at him.
Qi Heng's gaze was dark as a storm cloud.
Fine. Just fine.
"Using my money to support your little lover, are you?"
4.
After marrying Qi Heng, You Yu could clearly tell that Qi Heng hated him. He followed their agreement and tried to keep their encounters to a minimum, only to find Qi Heng looking at him in increasingly strange ways.
One day, after You Yu showered in their bedroom, Qi Heng came in reeking of alcohol, shoved him onto the bed, and bit his lips.
His deep-set eyes were bloodshot as he growled in his ear, "Do you know what happens to people who toy with my feelings?"
