Sweet-tempered, nurturing bottom x short-tempered, domineering CEO top
Lu An x Gu Ciyan
Lu An is a star kindergarten teacher, known for his gentle nature and excellent teaching skills. The children and their parents adore him.
One day, he woke up to find that he had transmigrated into a book.
He had transmigrated into the melodramatic novel he'd stayed up late reading the night before, becoming the disposable husband of the story's villain.
The villain, Gu Ciyan, has bipolar disorder and a violent temper. He spends every day looking for trouble and causing a scene, a textbook negative character.
And Lu An, who has married into the family, is expected to take care of him.
Looking at the villain in front of him, who was telling him to get out, Lu An thought: ...So I'm here to look after a kid after all!
He had planned to turn around and leave, but the moment he saw the seven-figure allowance in his bank account, his expression changed.
This is way better than earning three thousand a month as a kindergarten teacher, and I only have to look after one kid!
So Lu An walked up to him in good spirits and said gently, "Hey, that's a bad word. Little kids aren't allowed to say that."
With his experience handling difficult kids and his deep understanding of child psychology, Lu An drew on his work at the kindergarten and diligently took care of Gu Ciyan.
When Gu Ciyan refused to talk, Lu An softened his voice:
"Little mouth, no talking. Little eyes, look over here. We can sit down and talk it out, right?"
When Gu Ciyan came home after discussing a business deal, Lu An praised him encouragingly:
"My baby's so amazing! You went out to work all by yourself. You looked so cool!"
When Gu Ciyan's bipolar disorder flared up and left him irritable and angry, Lu An spoke softly:
"Let me pat your head and calm you down. Who's my good baby? Raise your hand and let me see!"
Gu Ciyan knows he's naturally short-tempered. It always feels as if a fire is burning in his chest, and he can't control his temper.
When he learned about the arranged marriage, he had already expected his temper to drive his new husband away.
But he never expected that the man would be so gentle, smiling warmly, like a soothing stream that doused the fire in his heart.
One compliment after another, each one calling him baby in that soft, sweet voice, had him floating on air. He was practically being coaxed back into the womb.
His plans to stir up trouble are on hold. First, he needs to go home, snuggle his wife, and get today's compliments.
At first, Mr. Gu: "Pathetic tricks. Don't use such affected words to praise me."
Later, Mr. Gu: "Honey, why didn't you praise me today? Why didn't you call me baby? Did I do something wrong?"
---- [Bonus Scene] ----
Lu An: "Baby, could you turn off the light for me? The lights you turn off are always the darkest."
Gu Ciyan: "Hmph. My time is precious. What makes you think you can order me around to do something so pointless?"
Then he turned around and clicked the light off.
