When Shu Li wakes up, he discovers that he's lost his memory.
Before him is a luxurious room, a spacious, soft marital bed, and the neighbor boy he's had a crush on for years.
Shu Li blinks, dazed by the sudden rush of happiness.
He's actually married to his dream guy?!
Thinking about the sweet married life he'll have with his dream guy, Shu Li pulls the covers over his head and can't help giggling to himself.

Jin Lijun is a young and accomplished business tycoon, with sharp brows, bright eyes, and not a single imperfection from head to toe.
For over twenty years, he's been restrained and proper. The only outrageous thing he's ever done is lock up the young master of the Shu family, whom he's watched grow up.
His tie leaves red marks on the young master's fair, delicate wrists. His iron grip holds the slender waist, and no matter how Shu Li struggles, he can't escape the bed.
After that, whenever Shu Li sees him, he cries until he's exhausted and curls up in the corner of the bed, too afraid to come near.
One day, Shu Li falls on the stairs at home and hits his head.
Jin Lijun keeps watch by his bedside all night. The next morning, the person in bed finally opens his eyes.
Those clear, luminous eyes widen as he curiously studies Jin Lijun like a newborn fawn. A moment later, he pulls the blanket over his head, as if crying.
Jin Lijun, accustomed to this, lowers his eyes and tucks the blanket around him. Just as he's about to get up and pour some water, Shu Li catches his finger.
The young man peeks out from under the blanket, presses his soft cheek against Jin Lijun's knuckles, and smiles for the first time. "Gege."

After the young master of the Shu family goes missing, plenty of people laugh at the Shus.
They'd spent years dreaming that their son would marry Jin Lijun and rise in the world, relying on the fact that they'd known him for over a decade. Now they've even lost their son.
A year later, news gets out that the Shu family is throwing a twentieth birthday party for Shu Li. Everyone is abuzz with speculation.
They never expected that the young master would actually be found.
At the birthday party, everyone is shocked to see Jin Lijun, who never attends any banquet, by Shu Li's side.
Usually stern and taciturn, Jin Lijun stays right beside Shu Li without leaving his side, their fingers intertwined.
The young master pouts petulantly. "You're holding my hand too tight!"
Jin Lijun lowers his deep-set eyes and indulgently rubs Shu Li's slender, pale fingers, but still doesn't let go.

Shu Li discovers that his lover has a very bad habit in bed.
The first thing he does isn't kiss him. Instead, he takes out a tie and tries to bind Shu Li's hands.
Shu Li angrily taps Jin Lijun on the head and refuses to let him tie him up.
The sharp-featured man presses his lips together. "If I don't tie you up, you'll run away."
Shu Li earnestly promises that he won't run away.
Later, his fingers tremble so much he can't hold on to the sheets. His eyes are red at the corners, and he flees to the corner of the bed without thinking twice.
A large hand closes around his ankle and drags him back beneath him.
Jin Lijun's thin lips brush his earlobe, his voice low and hoarse. "You said you wouldn't run away."
