Ji Ran was adopted by the Ji family. Until he was seven, he was the pride of the entire family.
He was beautiful, well-behaved, sensible, and clever. Everyone in the Ji family doted on him, and for a while he thought he was the happiest person in the world.
Then his mother got pregnant and gave birth to the Ji family's true bloodline. Overnight, he seemed to have been abandoned. No one paid him any attention.
But Ji Ran didn't mind. Without the Ji family, he would have had nowhere to go, so he carefully maintained his good-kid image, enduring the malicious jokes of his twin younger siblings and his parents' favoritism.
When his siblings wanted photos with a celebrity, he even debuted as a minor actor, only to be called a nepotism hire after landing a supporting role.
On his twentieth birthday, Ji Ran and his siblings were taken hostage in a kidnapping. He risked his life to get them out to call for help. Instead, his siblings kept the truth from the family, and the Ji family refused to pay, infuriating the kidnappers.
As he was thrown into the sea, Ji Ran finally felt he could be himself. He no longer had to live to repay a debt of gratitude.
When he woke up in the hospital, Ji Ran looked at the man before him like a marionette, letting the man arrange everything. He merely kept himself alive in silence, not even caring that he was confined to a wheelchair.
Yet the world had changed.
His parents spared no expense seeking treatment, just to help him walk again.
The supporting role he had played became a sensation thanks to his vivid performance, and scripts came pouring in.
People everywhere dug into his past, exclaiming that they had uncovered a hidden gem.
His younger siblings kept vigil at the hospital day and night...
Ji Ran watched the farce unfold and the trending topics pile up, silent as a mute. Only when his parents wept, saying they were wrong and begging him to forgive them, promising to make it up to him, did he answer coolly: "There's no need."

A year later, Ji Ran returned to the public eye. In a blurry video taken without permission, he sat quietly in a corner of the set, script in hand. Even so, his handsome features and noble bearing were unmistakable.
Halfway through the video, a tall man appeared, wearing a long black trench coat. He walked over and held an umbrella over Ji Ran, affectionately pinched his ear as he bent down, then took the coat an assistant handed him and draped it over Ji Ran's shoulders.
It didn't take long for netizens to identify the man.
Lu Beixun, the youngest business prodigy in Hong Kong City and the current head of the Lu family.
1. A beautiful adopted son from a wealthy family as the shou × an older, fatherly big shot as the gong. The romance is all sweetness.
2. Old-school melodrama early on, followed by everyone facing the consequences later. No whitewashing or forgiveness. The gong isn't among those at fault, and the scumbags will get what's coming to them.
3. Synopsis written on 25.02.06. This is a freewheeling project. Please don't offer writing advice. The point of reading is to have fun.
