Gu Yanzheng, a spoiled rich second-generation heir, dies unexpectedly and transmigrates seven years into the future.
After figuring out what's going on, Gu Yanzheng grabs a brick and heads straight for his scumbag ex's company.
Worst comes to worst, they'll trade their lives.
Young Master Gu has never been afraid of anything!
But when he arrives and sees the person sitting in the main seat, his eyes go wide. "Hey, handsome, who are you?"
Where's the enemy he was supposed to find?
Fu Yuqing looks at him for a long moment, then suddenly says, "Take him away."
Before Gu Yanzheng knows what's happening, he's been brought back to Fu Yuqing's home.
From the others, he learns that this man is the new head of the Fu family, cold-blooded and ruthless, with a formidable knack for getting things done. He's risen to the top at a young age.
He's also the one who dealt with Gu Yanzheng's former enemies.
Apparently, this man had a dearly beloved who died young. His only interest is collecting people who look like them. That must be why he took Gu Yanzheng in, too.
Sure enough, Fu Yuqing doesn't torture him. He gives Gu Yanzheng everything he could want to eat and drink, but often stares at him with a sick, obsessive intensity.
Gu Yanzheng senses something familiar. "Little Mute?"
The way this man looks at him is exactly like that of the little kid who used to follow him around!
After they recognize each other, Gu Yanzheng regains his freedom and returns to his old life of unrestrained indulgence. But at a party in a bar, just as he's drunkenly about to pull a male model into his arms, he feels a fiercely possessive gaze from beside him.
Fu Yuqing takes the model's place and lies in Gu Yanzheng's arms. "Why did you stop?"
Looking at his handsome face, Gu Yanzheng says regretfully, "Come on, don't be a brat. I don't go after kids."
Fu Yuqing murmurs, "A kid... am I?"

That night, Fu Yuqing takes a drunk Gu Yanzheng home by force.
Trapped in the back seat of the car, Gu Yanzheng says, "Fu Yuqing, there's a limit to how far you can take a joke."
Fu Yuqing looks down at him. "What if I'm not joking?"
Sensing danger, Gu Yanzheng turns to run. The next second, he hears the car doors lock.
Fu Yuqing buries his face in Gu Yanzheng's neck. "How about you give me a chance?"
Gu Yanzheng pushes him away. "Take a good look. I'm not one of your ridiculous substitutes!"
Fu Yuqing turns his head and kisses Gu Yanzheng's palm, murmuring, "How could I not know that?"
He smiles, his voice calm and wild: "After all, I've known it was you from the very beginning."
