The Right Way to Treat My Crazy Ex-Boyfriend

[A stunningly beautiful but ill-tempered, unpleasant psychiatrist top x a completely unhinged, powerful heir bottom]

1.

By the time you're thirty, life is no longer in your own hands.

With less than two years until his thirtieth birthday, Lan Zhi somehow became a walking jinx. First, he lost his job without warning. Then he was told that his parents' company had gone bankrupt because it couldn't keep up with its cash flow.

His close friends couldn't bear to see him suffer and each offered financial help, only to take a collective beating in the business world, nearly ending up in the same dire straits as him. With no other choice, Lan Zhi sold his car and house to pay off his debts and started looking for work again, but ran into one rejection after another.

They said he was too old and had no advantages in the workplace. They said he'd spent too many years at school and couldn't keep up with the world. They said his looks were too striking and weren't suitable for the position.

Lan Zhi sneered, wanting to strangle everyone who said those things. Just as he was at his wits' end and about to jump into a river, a job offer fell from the sky.

The Third Psychiatric Hospital invited him to work as a psychotherapist. The annual salary was one million, with meals and lodging included, a private villa, free utilities, no time clock, and flexible hours.

It sounded like a scam, but Lan Zhi had no other choice.

2.

A month after starting work at the "scam" psychiatric hospital, Lan Zhi was assigned to the VIP ward to provide counseling to a young master who supposedly had schizophrenia and was extremely aggressive.

The director called him into the office especially to explain that the young master had been admitted after accidentally killing someone because he couldn't control his own brain. He urged Lan Zhi to keep his temper in check, be patient, and stay safe. Lan Zhi replied sarcastically,

"Where's the patient? Where is he? I don't see any victim's family here. A murderer belongs in prison, not here getting patient counseling from me."

3.

Money makes the world go round.

To protect himself from harm, Lan Zhi, who was no paragon of virtue, brought enough anesthetic to knock out five adult men before pushing open the murderer's room door. The moment their eyes met, he saw a familiar face.

The man's limbs were chained to the bed, the veins standing out all over his body. His mind was in disarray as he rambled at Lan Zhi: "Apply... apply for a kiss. It hurts so much... Teacher, have pity on me."

The bottom didn't kill anyone and doesn't have schizophrenia. There is another reason he was admitted to the psychiatric hospital, but his mind really is abnormal, and his behavior is erratic. Don't treat him like a normal person.

The medical setting and all medical knowledge in this story are made up by me, with no factual basis whatsoever. It's just for the romance, so don't take it seriously or nitpick.
