[Shrewd Imperial General Alpha × Kindhearted Omega from the slums × Ruthless District Governor Alpha], two tops and one bottom, with other supporting tops as well.

A great fire consumed the Le family estate.

When the young master of the Le family was only five, he lost his memory, his parents died, and he was left to fend for himself in the slums.

The young master became a little street urchin and took the new name Jian Wei. He endured hunger, exposure, and countless hardships, stumbling his way into adulthood. Then, at a bar, he was forced to lose his virginity to Shen Xingchuan, and became pregnant with a baby.

From then on, Shen Xingchuan became a nightmare Jian Wei could never erase from his heart.

Jian Wei had suffered enough growing up and wanted to taste the sweetness of life. He hoped to cling to Lu Yufeng, a powerful man, and rise from being a servant in the Lu household to becoming Lu Yufeng's lover. But in the course of this trade in power and sex, he couldn't help falling in love.

But Lu Yufeng was heartless, intent only on chasing fame and fortune.

Cheng Lanyi told him that he and Lu Yufeng were worlds apart in status. How could someone from the slums ever be worthy of Lu Yufeng, the exalted ruler of a district? The class divide between them was impossible to cross.

Jian Wei looked at Cheng Lanyi, an official of the district, and fell silent.

He had known for a long time that Cheng Lanyi loved Lu Yufeng.

Lu Yufeng's compassion for him was real, and so was his affection. But in the cutthroat world of politics, even the smallest spark of love could be swept into the vortex and disappear without a trace.

Jian Wei had tried and fought for the love in his heart, but reality cruelly shattered his hopes. His reckless devotion had been like a moth flying into a flame, and he lost everything.

He could never win against fame, power, and desire. It was a glittering pyramid reaching into the sky, and those who climbed it never wanted to come down. It was also an abyss piled high with corpses: fall in, and there would be no escape.

On a snowy night at the start of the year, Jian Wei left the Lu household in despair. Lu Yufeng did not stop him or come to see him, as though they had silently agreed to let him escape that suffocating prison.

Amid the wind and snow, Jian Wei stood dazed by the roadside and saw a black Bentley approaching in the distance.

After the car stopped, Shen Xingchuan got out and came over. He wrapped Jian Wei in his thick, crisply tailored dark military coat and asked if he was cold.

A few notes for readers:

1. A melodramatic, angst-heavy story about an authoritarian empire and its rigid class system, with forced pursuit and pregnancy.

2. The second top has had lovers before, and the bottom has a child.

3. The first top and the bottom get a happy ending.

Theme: Stay grounded in what you do, and live with a clear conscience
