A needy, depressed, aloof, sickly beauty bottom x an emotionally steady, devoted, wealthy and powerful top

Rekindled romance, strictly one-on-one, a healing sweet romance

The bottom won't always be pitiful. He'll become more aloof, but will remain frail, with occasional clingy moments.

Since the top is his older foster brother, the bottom calls him "big brother" when he gets affectionate.

When the bottom breaks down emotionally, the older, guiding top patiently leads and protects him.

Two years ago, Lin Queqing, a pitiful soul orphaned young and bullied by everyone, was still the adopted son of the prestigious Lu family.

Under the watchful eyes of people who approved and disapproved alike, he began a relationship with Lu Chi, the Lu family's cold, stern, ascetic heir.

The usually haughty young master of the Lu family indulged him in every way, personally taking care of everything related to him.

At a banquet filled with society's elite, Lu Chi ignored everyone's astonished stares and deigned to serve the timid Lin Queqing. When Lin's mouth got dirty, Lu Chi wiped it with his own handkerchief. When Lin got sleepy, Lu Chi held him in his arms. He even insisted on carrying the young master's coat himself. His possessiveness was practically overflowing.

Everyone in high society wondered how long Lu Chi would keep this beautiful little darling.

No one expected Lin Queqing to be the first to ask for a breakup.

"Love you? That's only because you can give me a comfortable life. Now that there's a better option, why wouldn't I take it?"

He not only smashed a gift Lu Chi had carved by hand, but said those words too, ending their relationship in the most humiliating way.

The night before, Lu Chi had been kneeling in the snow, begging his gravely ill grandfather not to make things difficult for Lin Queqing.

Two years later, Lin Queqing was working as a waiter in an upscale banquet hall abroad. Tormented by his failing health and weakening mental state, he was exhausted and unable to dodge the champagne tower that had been knocked over. He could only wait for disaster to strike.

Sweet, cloying wine poured down over him. Just as the heavy, fragile glasses were about to hit his head, a pair of clean, strong hands pulled him away, and he fell into a familiar embrace.

It was Lu Chi, the man he had abandoned.

He tried to flee, but Lu Chi pinned him against the door of the lounge. Helpless and disheveled, he could only endure Lu Chi's scrutiny.

"You like money, don't you? Stay with me, and I'll give you as much as you want."

Lu Chi coldly threw his own words from two years ago back at him.

A few days later, Lu Chi took him back home.

*

Lu Chi had caught the cat that had run away from him. He wanted to clip its claws and keep it by his side, but when he touched it, he realized that the person he treasured had already become gaunt and emaciated from putting himself through too much.

Lin Queqing was sick. Lu Chi could only use the most despicable means to keep him by his side.

Once lost in desire, Lin Queqing could no longer leave him. He could only curl up in Lu Chi's arms and timidly say, "Big brother, I'm scared."

*

Much later, everyone in A City knew that the Lu family patriarch's white moonlight had returned home.

Lu Chi had not rejected him or taken revenge on him. In fact, Lin Queqing was wearing the wide ring that symbolized the patriarch's status.

At a banquet, he even openly asked the always stern and imposing Lu Chi for a kiss.

Lu Chi not only kissed him, but carried him into a private lounge as well.

Important:

Strictly one-on-one. Every first time is with each other, and the feelings are overwhelmingly mutual.

The cover character art is non-exclusive material from the artist. Similarities are perfectly normal, but the layout design is unique.

The character designs for Teacher Lin and President Lu were drawn by two of my friends.

One last thing: Please don't scold me! If the author gets too much flak, she'll scamper off all fluffy or mend her ways. (Crying cat head.)
