Wu An is a small-time con artist who targets wealthy merchants. He disguises himself as a down-and-out woman, takes their money, then vanishes.
This time, he comes to a remote town and sets his sights on a wealthy married couple.
Claiming that bandits robbed him and left him stranded, Wu An moves into their home.
The couple seem to be at odds. The husband is tall and fierce, while the wife... is just as tall, cool and aloof.
At first, Wu An plans to use his usual tricks and seduce the husband. He sways his hips and puts on a coquettish act in front of Wei Shen. “Please take pity on me, sir...” Before he can finish, the man turns coldly and walks away.
The husband, Wei Shen, is extremely wary. Wu An can't get close to him at all, and one look from the man seems enough to see right through him.
With the husband refusing to take the bait, Wu An has no choice but to set his sights on the wife.
When he throws himself into Pei Xingxue's arms, the other man lets him sit on his lap, indulging him with patient affection.
Pei Xingxue proves willing to do anything for him.
But his possessiveness is too much. From his outer clothes to his shoes and socks, and even... his bellyband, Pei Xingxue wants a say in everything Wu An wears.
Wu An keeps his distance from Wei Shen, just as the man wants, but Wei Shen only grows more vicious toward him. Even when no one else is around, Wu An can feel the man's fierce eyes fixed on him every moment, sticky with possessiveness.
With all his attention on Pei Xingxue, Wu An strips off his clothes and tries every trick he can think of to tease and seduce him. As his palm brushes against Pei Xingxue's thighs, he feels something hot and hard.
Pei Xingxue is actually a man!
Trembling with fear, Wu An doesn't even stop to put his clothes back on. He runs outside like a madman.
Then Wei Shen suddenly appears behind him, his face fierce and twisted with jealousy. He grabs Wu An by the ankle and drags him back onto the bed, his canine teeth scraping over Wu An's earlobe. “Why are you running? Weren't you having a grand old time when you were seducing him?”
Wu An knows he's done for.

To evade the imperial court's search, Pei Xingxue and Wei Shen hide out in a remote town, staying shut inside their home and waiting for the right moment.
But they never expected a little con artist to set his sights on them.
From the moment the little con artist appeared at their door, they could tell he was a man dressed as a woman.
To conceal their identities, they pretend not to know, teasing him now and then.
They never expected that after swaying his slim waist and striking seductive poses, he would fail to tempt Wei Shen and then turn his attention to Pei Xingxue.
A slender waist, full hips, peach-blossom cheeks, almond-shaped eyes, and soft, pale skin: he's like an enchantress from the mountains.
Pei Xingxue doesn't kill him. He even turns down Wei Shen's demand to take the man back. The little con artist seduced him, so he should belong to him.
A strange tale circulates in Fengping Town: the most grandly appointed household in town has taken in a concubine, and the concubine is said to be equally interested in men and women. Behind closed doors, the three of them serve one another. (Just a rumor. Don't believe it.)
Note:
1. Pei and Wei are cousins. They pretend to be a married couple, but they aren't actually married. There is absolutely no romantic tension between the two tops (I absolutely hate that sort of thing).
2. They both like the bottom, and only the bottom.
3. No switching, no pairings with anyone else.
4. One-on-one for each stage.
5. All tops are virgins.
6. Not for readers with strong character preferences.
Theme: Work hard and make a living.
