Huai Li is the least welcome person in Yuncheng's upper circles.
His parents are both dead, and his status is awkward. He can barely make a place for himself in Yuncheng thanks to his stepmother's kindness, while people mockingly call him the "Third Young Master."
His older brother, mature and stern, makes demands of him so harsh they border on twisted. His second brother, a spoiled troublemaker, treats him like a toy. And those so-called "childhood friends" of noble birth are no better. None of them care about Huai Li. They just torment him in their own ways.
No one knows that a mysterious creation called the System has given Huai Li a special ability: anyone who kisses him, whoever they may be, will begin to fall in love with him.
Huai Li didn't want to believe the absurd claims, but during a ridiculous game, he was forced to complete a kissing challenge with one of the most arrogant young masters around.
After that, Huai Li's world turned upside down.
The man everyone considered untouchable lowered himself to pursue Huai Li relentlessly.
...As if he had truly fallen in love with him.
For the first time, Huai Li considered using this ability to get revenge.
His brothers or his "childhood friends," it didn't matter. He would make them fall in love with him, then cruelly abandon them. It was the simplest way to get even.
It would only last three months, anyway. Once the ability wore off, everything would go back to the way it was. No one would care that they'd once been madly in love with an insignificant, universally disliked person. That was what Huai Li thought.
He "fell in love" with them for two and a half months, then disappeared without a word during the final half month, ruthlessly cutting off all contact.
Half a month passed, then another. It seemed as if everything had finally settled, but instead of a fresh start, Huai Li was suddenly kidnapped.
Everything was pitch-black. Like a sacrifice on an altar, he could do nothing as pairs of hands roamed over his body.
"You were the one who drew so much love to yourself. Why are you running away now?"
A familiar voice spoke words of love dripping with malice, but what truly chilled Huai Li to the bone was the System's cold electronic voice.
Its words were like a curse.
[I'm sorry. After reviewing the records, we found that the Lover's Aura promised to the Host was never issued in time.]
That meant these people's love for Huai Li hadn't been caused by that strange ability. And their love wouldn't last only three months, either. It would go on and on, until long after they grew tired of him.
"Stop spacing out, Lili."
A kiss burned against Huai Li's neck.
"The best revenge is to stay by our side forever." The man pulled the trembling Huai Li into his arms with an unyielding grip. "As for the details of your revenge, we can teach you slowly."
