[A sunny, handsome liar on the surface, but rotten to the core underneath, bottom × a rich, foolish, mercurial, emotionally obsessed top]

Xu Zhaoran, the handsome, outgoing campus heartthrob, a sunny and cheerful young man...

3. Contains non-consensual elements. The author likes "he runs, the other chases, and he can't escape even if he grows wings." No violence or physical abuse.
