[Cool, aloof beauty of a young master bottom] x [Impoverished campus heartthrob top with an insanely possessive streak]
*
Xie Gongqiu came from a wealthy family and was stunningly beautiful. His life was nearly perfect, with one stain: meeting Ji Wenxun at the age of sixteen.
He used every resource at his disposal to support Ji Wenxun's career. After Ji succeeded, he said:
"Even without your stinking money, I could still have made it to where I am today."
"Xie Gongqiu, sometimes I wish you would just die."
On the day of their divorce, Xie Gongqiu was reborn twenty years in the past, on the day he accepted Ji Wenxun's confession.
He had planned to reject the confession and never see him again. But when he saw the moment the burning love in his former lover's eyes turned to wariness and suspicion, Xie Gongqiu lowered his gaze and changed his mind.
"Who should I get together with to make him understand?"
It wasn't Ji Wenxun's ability that had made him a brilliant new star in the business world.
It was that whoever Xie Gongqiu wanted to support could become that dazzling star.

Fang Zhiyun was Ji Wenxun's sworn enemy.
Born into poverty with no one to back him, he built his fortune from nothing and amassed tens of billions. He was a true self-made billionaire.
People in their circle said of Fang Zhiyun, "Mr. Fang is friendly and aboveboard. He's not only a great business partner, but a great friend, too."
The friendly Mr. Fang only had it in for Ji Wenxun. He took every opportunity to trip him up, driving Ji Wenxun to the brink more than once.
Fang Zhiyun was undoubtedly the perfect choice.
But Xie Gongqiu remembered that this impoverished campus heartthrob had a powerful sense of pride and was extremely aloof.
He would most likely reject a sugar-baby arrangement.
Xie Gongqiu didn't expect much. He was only asking on a whim.
Who could have guessed that the other man would lower his eyes, think for a few seconds, then smile and agree?
"All right."
Maybe... he wasn't as haughty as the rumors said?
*
Fang Zhiyun had a secret: he was almost madly obsessed with Xie Gongqiu, the boy in the class next door.
Xie Gongqiu was dazzling and uninhibited, yet immaculate and untouchable.
He called Xie Gongqiu "my moon."
But Fang Zhiyun knew that the moon wasn't his.
He was poor and insecure, and harbored unspeakable, sordid desires toward the moon.
Fang Zhiyun never dared hope Xie Gongqiu would look his way.
Yet one day, moonlight fell upon him.
