1.
Cheng Xiao was born into a wealthy family and lost his father when he was young.
To seize power, he pretended to be a playboy for years while plotting in secret. After throwing the Cheng family into chaos, he reaped the rewards and took over the company under everyone's astonished gaze.
Three years later, infighting in the Cheng family continued to crop up. Watching those shareholders and relatives pass the buck to one another, yet refuse to just die, he began to regret all the effort he'd put in back then.
He decided to strike out on his own.
He announced that he had been seriously injured and hospitalized while selling off his shares and assets. Rumors spread that he was near death.
He played the part so well that everyone who came to test the waters believed him.
His family, friends, and subordinates all either feigned sympathy or mocked him mercilessly.
Cheng Xiao reflected for three seconds and realized he really hadn't been a decent person before, but he had no intention of changing...

Bored, Cheng Xiao opened his phone and saw an interview.
The person being interviewed was the canary he'd once kept at arm's length.
The reporter asked, "Actor Lin, what do you think of Cheng Xiao?"
Lin Zhi Que froze for a moment, then smiled. "He's pretty great. At least, he treated me very well."
Cheng Xiao thought that Lin Zhi Que had gone from a little-known actor to a famous actor and director, yet he still seemed so honest.
The next day, an honest man appeared at his hospital room door.
Lin Zhi Que asked, "Mr. Cheng, do you need any help?"
Cheng Xiao pointed to his injured leg. "I'm very poor right now. I can't afford to keep you."
Lin Zhi Que smiled just as he had back then. "It's okay. I have money."
Cheng Xiao realized that his former canary seemed to like him.
Even when he had nothing.
A little scene:
Lin Zhi Que has a great reputation in the entertainment industry and is the perfect dream man in many people's eyes. The one thing that makes his fans lose their minds is his taste in boyfriends.
They can't understand why Lin Zhi Que is so fixated on Cheng Xiao. As far as they're concerned, their idol is rich, handsome, talented, and a great actor, while Cheng Xiao is just a bankrupt, depressed, disgraced loser.
Later, Cheng Xiao accompanied Lin Zhi Que to record a reality show.
The moment he appeared on camera, Lin Zhi Que's anti-fans and devoted fans alike fell silent.
"..."
"Damn!"
"He's so handsome!"
"He's so damn handsome!"
"Guys, I finally get why this damn man can charm my idol. Just imagine, that ridiculously gorgeous face is my sugar daddy..."
"I get it now, too."
As the camera drew closer, everyone realized that Cheng Xiao's looks were the most ordinary thing about him.
P.S. Cheng Xiao is the top and Lin Zhi Que is the bottom. Younger gong, with the bottom five years older than the top.
1. This story is fairly realistic. Cheng Xiao really is a bastard when he's being a bastard. Both leads are strong.
2. There may be some entertainment industry elements.
3. The author ships the couple. Be cautious if you're strongly attached to one character's side. Be cautious!
4. No groveling pursuit after a breakup, and there are no misunderstandings while they're apart.
5. One-on-one, happy ending, both are virgins, and the pairing will not be reversed.
6. Finally, hope you enjoy reading!
Thesis: I should have stopped sooner and taken a good look at your gentle eyes.
