Noble gentleman, decisive and ruthless bottom / Top student and campus heartthrob, insecure and obsessive top
Wei Siguan * Shi Qia
Ten-year age gap / Both adults / Angsty drama / Taming / Winning back a lover / Mistaken identity involving a first love
Ten years ago, Wei Siguan and Chi Yu passed through Huangshan Village. Out of kindness, Wei Siguan sponsored a bullied child, then forgot all about it after going abroad.
Ten years later, Wei Siguan attended his alma mater's anniversary celebration and met a young man. He was outstanding, carefree, and brimming with youthful energy. Wei Siguan admired him in secret, assuming he was the younger generation of some prominent Jingzhou family. Later, he discovered the young man was the very child he had sponsored ten years ago, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Wei Siguan thought Shi Qia was a pitiful stray dog, so he took him home and groomed him.
But in Shi Qia's eyes, Wei Siguan was nothing but a stepping-stone to the "benefactor" he had admired since his youth.
In his reckless youth, Shi Qia had eyes only for the figure he had admired since he was young. He gave that person a godlike aura to suit his own wishes. Its brilliance was so dazzling that he naturally overlooked the other pair of gentle eyes watching him.
Later, that halo shattered. Shi Qia was bewildered and at a loss. Out of habit, he tried to look back toward those eyes, only to find nothing there.
Love is a consumable. Don't realize it too late.
