Shi Xinyu was kidnapped. His captors assigned someone around his age to look after him. He was supposedly kidnapped too, and had a tragic background.
Shi Xinyu told him, "I'll get my parents to ransom both of us. Don't be afraid."
Later, the kidnappers received the ransom money, went back on their word, and killed him.
After dying, Shi Xinyu was reborn into a new identity: a gambling addict saddled with tens of millions in debt. He had once been an exemplary student with a happy family, but a scumbag's lies had led him straight to hell. He never recovered, and eventually slit his wrists and ended his life.
Hell from the very start. Shi Xinyu: "..."
Could he die again and try a different scenario?
As Shi Xinyu figured out how to pay off his debts, he also pondered how to reunite with his friends and family.
Later, a friend told him how things had changed in the ten years since he disappeared. "Besides your parents, President Shen has been looking for you too."
"Who's President Shen?"
His friend opened a business magazine. "This guy."
Shi Xinyu thought the man looked familiar, but couldn't remember ever having crossed paths with him in his previous life.
His friend said regretfully, "You two were even betrothed as children!"
Shi Xinyu: "?"
"You were childhood friends, deeply devoted to each other, practically inseparable."
Shi Xinyu: "...?"
"You were certain you'd never part. President Shen would marry no one but you! It's one of the great love stories among the wealthy in City A."
Shi Xinyu: "...???"
But I was single from birth until I died in my previous life. Who started that rumor? :)

The chairman of Shen Group was taciturn and moody, but exceptionally capable and decisive, with plenty of clout. His only peculiar habit was having impossibly high standards for his personal assistants.
After he fired his sixth personal assistant, the HR manager finally snapped and grabbed a random person off the street to interview.
Shen Xiangzhu took one look at him and hired him.
Shi Xinyu was short on money, so he was quite happy to stay.
Shi Xinyu: "What do I need to do?"
Shen Xiangzhu was silent for a moment, then tapped the desk with restrained composure. "Stay by my side at all times."
Shi Xinyu: Easy enough ovo
Shen Xiangzhu subtly pressed his lips together.

Later, Shi Xinyu recovered his memories.
He discovered that everything his friend had said was true. And when Shen Xiangzhu had said to stay by his side at all times, he'd meant even getting within negative distance.
The kind of negative twenty centimeters.
Shi Xinyu: "..."
A clueless, straightforward little grass-bottom x a reserved, seductive big shot top
#The bottom died at eighteen and was reborn in the body of a twenty-five-year-old. Ten years have passed since his original timeline.
#The bottom has amnesia and can't remember anything about the top. His memories will return later.
#A personal assistant is basically a live-in caretaker. Please don't read too much into it.
