Liang Zhiyu is on a prenuptial trip.
Born into a family of immense wealth and influence, the scion Liang Zhiyu is about to marry. His intended is a powerful figure from another prestigious family, someone he's never met. Rumor has it that despite his young age, he has secured a position of power, is ruthless in his methods, cold, and utterly unromantic.
Liang Zhiyu is especially frustrated. He doesn't like cold, stiff men.
At the cruise ship's bar counter,
Liang Zhiyu swirls the drink in his hand, his gaze settling on a tall, flawless-looking man with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.
He holds out his glass and softly invites him, "Care to join me?"
Shen Zhounan catches his slender, pale wrist.
-
Shen Zhounan is gentle and considerate, and they are astonishingly compatible in every way.
With his arms around Shen Zhounan's neck, Liang Zhiyu thinks that if his soon-to-be husband weren't so powerful and difficult to deal with, he might consider keeping Shen Zhounan as a lover on the side.
The cruise ship is about to return to Hong Kong City. Everything should go back to normal.
In their suite, Liang Zhiyu changes into a suit with his back to Shen Zhounan and tosses him a bank card. "I'm getting married. Let's part on good terms."
Shen Zhounan's gaze darkens. He leans close and whispers in Liang Zhiyu's ear, "Liam, we'll see each other again soon."
-
Just after stepping off the cruise ship, Liang Zhiyu gets a call from his parents, and bodyguards escort him back to the family estate.
His parents are making tea in the tea room. A familiar figure sits on the sofa in his home: Shen Zhounan, dressed in an expensive suit, with cufflinks made of pearls worth a million. The reception room is piled high with rare treasures.
"Long time no see, Liam."
Shen Zhounan produces the breakup card and says unhurriedly, "Liam, what kind of man do you like?"
"The kind who holds you against a floor-to-ceiling window..."
[Extra scene]:
Liang Zhiyu keeps wondering why Shen Zhounan is so different from the rumors.
Later, he catches Shen Zhounan dealing with a subordinate. He really is as cold-blooded and merciless as the stories say.
Shen Zhounan looks at him, wipes away the blood leisurely, then crouches down to lay a rug at his feet. Frowning, he says, "Baby, it's so dirty here. Your shoes will get wet."
