[Blurb]
Pei Yu had been deeply in love with someone for years, until he met a wealthy patron who declared that he'd bankroll his entire career.
As an ambitious workaholic who'd clawed his way to the top by any means necessary, Pei Yu didn't mind being seduced for favors, especially when the other party was a handsome young man with plenty of money.
He Chongting was the heir to Rayburn Group, the country's largest medical care and biopharmaceutical technology company. He was a student at UCB, owned a private mansion and a horse ranch in California, played bass in a heavy metal rock band, and was a seasoned playboy. On a whim, he set his sights on Pei Yu, and from then on played cat and mouse with him.
Pei Yu thought the age gap wasn't a problem.
The problem was that this young master was the cousin of the man he had a crush on.
Pei Yu turned and ran!
He Chongting took off after him!
Getting involved with the younger brother of the man you love. What a disgusting relationship!
Pei Yu would rather die than give in.
Then the young master pinned him down and forced him to accept his love.
Note:
This is a gong-centric story, with two morally questionable leads, an older gong and younger shou, and a wealthy family and entertainment-industry setting.
As always, expect a cliched, melodramatic, nonsensical story with no logic. Both protagonists have POVs. This is part of the same series as the mutual-top story next door, Cheng'er. No other content warnings will be provided.
Theme: Be persistent and enjoy life.
