The blurb has been revised, and I'm working on a backlog of chapters. Please don't remove this from your collection!
A seemingly untouchable, world-weary, sickly beauty of a bottom x a suit-wearing, chaotic, murderous male ghost of a top
Beautiful bottom x mixed-race top, with a size difference
Rekindled love, the bottom has touch starvation, the top has separation anxiety.
Shen Chuolin is the only son of the Shen family. He was born with an angelic face, and though his mother died young, his father doted on him endlessly.
When he was seven, he met Huo Shengming, who had been sent to live with the Shen family. From then on, he had someone by his side who willingly let him order him around and use him.
Though he was frail and grew up pampered, he remained refined and poised in public, dedicating himself to charity.
His peerless beauty and extreme aloofness made him the moon hanging high in the hearts of Haicheng's people.
That changed when he took over the Shen family. Beneath his beautiful, fragile appearance, he wielded power with ruthless force, striking fear into everyone's hearts.
To seize control, he elegantly and coldly took one project after another, even turning against Huo Shengming, who had been at his side since childhood.
When Huo Shengming left the Shen family, he passed out from excessive blood loss and was carried out in full view of everyone.
Shen Chuolin had not only broken one of his legs, but also ordered him never to return to the country.
When people in their social circle asked about him, Shen Chuolin merely smiled indifferently.
Just a dog. It bit its owner, so of course it had to be thrown away.
Seven years later, the Shen family went bankrupt, and Shen Chuolin was disgraced. Everyone in Haicheng who saw the news condemned his hypocrisy.
As Shen Chuolin sat in the dock, reviled by the crowd, a bullet struck his heart, and blood poured from the wound.
Then Huo Shengming, the man he'd thrown away, saved him in his capacity as an investigator on the case.
Huo Shengming used Shen Chuolin's father's life to get him off the hook. At Shen Senior's funeral, Shen Chuolin and Huo Shengming added fresh hatred to their old enmity and broke with each other again.
But in private, Huo Shengming willingly stayed by Shen Chuolin's side. The burning skin that plagued Shen Chuolin could only be soothed by pressing against him.
When Shen Chuolin's illness flared up, Huo Shengming held him and gently patted his back. "Shen Chuolin, you still only know how to threaten me with your own life. But seven years have passed, and I'm still afraid you'll die."
Curled up in his arms, Shen Chuolin begged for a kiss, both affectionate and unfeeling. "A-Ming, this time you'll stay with me forever, right?"
Shen Chuolin knew that the fact the fire at the Shen family manor hadn't killed him was his father's greatest curse upon him.
And so Huo Shengming once again became the sharpest blade in his hand and the strongest shield at his side.
Bonus scene:
Shen Chuolin: I want xxxx (a whole bunch of ridiculously difficult, random things)
Huo Shengming (threateningly): Say that again.
Shen Chuolin (his gorgeous face crumpling as he clutches his injury and pouts): A-Ming, I think I'm about to come down with an illness that will put me in a coma for two months.
Huo Shengming (taking a deep breath and opening his notes app): I didn't catch that. Say it again.
Please note:
Absolutely monogamous, as pure as can be. They share all of each other's firsts.
Please don't insult the author, I beg you!
Theme: To build anew, you must first tear down. Be brave enough to say you love someone
