Liang Yu had been with his boyfriend for twelve years. They got together in high school, and twelve years later, one was a powerful CEO and the other a top-tier star. Whenever people mentioned them, everyone said they were made for each other.
Liang Yu suddenly showed up at a charity gala to surprise his boyfriend, only to see him leaning on the shoulder of an actor he was working with, making no attempt to refuse the man's kiss.
Liang Yu threw away the gift he'd prepared, pushed open the restroom door, and threw up until the world spun.
Someone handed him water.
He looked up to see his assistant of five years, eyes full of concern. "President Liang, he's not worth it."

Cheng Zhengyan fell in love with Liang Yu at first sight during a speech by an outstanding graduate at their school. After graduation, he beat out a crowd of job applicants to get into the company, only to discover on his first day that Liang Yu already had a lover.
Cheng Zhengyan got his wish and stayed by Liang Yu's side. At work, he was his most capable assistant. In life, he was like a silent shadow curled up in a dark corner.
Watching him love Lu Quanxi.
From the age of twenty-one to twenty-six, just when he thought things would stay that way for the rest of his life,
Lu Quanxi cheated, and Liang Yu broke up with him.

The moment Liang Yu asked to break up, Lu Quanxi realized how badly he'd messed up.
He apologized, begged, and even considered giving up his career, as long as Liang Yu was still willing to be with him.
But Liang Yu not only refused to soften, he grew closer and closer to that assistant.
That assistant had liked Liang Yu for a long time! If he succeeded, Lu Quanxi would never have another chance! Panicking, Lu Quanxi tried everything he could, but he could never go back to how things were. He could only watch Liang Yu and Cheng Zhengyan come and go together, and see Liang Yu look at Cheng Zhengyan with the same loving gaze he'd once given him. Even hickeys appeared beneath Cheng Zhengyan's collar.
At another charity gala, he ran into Cheng Zhengyan. There was no need to keep up appearances anymore, so he swore at him. "I'm the one he loves! He loved me for twelve years!"
Cheng Zhengyan looked down at the loser. "But I'm the one with him now."
"You have no idea how much he likes me!"
Cheng Zhengyan smiled and said softly, "You have no idea how sexy he looks when he's sweating on top of me."
Liang Yu is the bottom.
Both leads are devoted only to each other, but Liang Yu truly loved his ex. (When Liang Yu was with his ex, he played the role of the top, and held back for the sake of his ex's career and health. Later, when he got together with Cheng Zhengyan, he became the bottom for love.)
A little bit of showbiz.
