Mr. Fu's Contract Lover Broke Their Deal

Cold, celibate CEO × vibrant, resilient ray of sunshine

To pay for his seriously ill father's treatment, He Xun works himself to the bone every day.

But he keeps getting complaints when he delivers food, and construction work pays too slowly. So he hardens his heart and takes the club's star dancer's place onstage.

Under the spotlight, he awkwardly tears open his secret identity. As the crowd cheers and his pants are about to drop, the show is abruptly stopped.

In a private room, a man sits in a well-tailored suit, his gaze cold as frost behind gold-rimmed glasses.

“Name your price,” Fu Huiyu says. “I want you to pretend to be my lover.”

He Xun follows him into the car in a daze, only to find that the million-yuan contract is utterly outrageous.

He has to play a spoiled, unreasonable brat. His only mission is to ruin his benefactor's reputation.

For his father's treatment, He Xun diligently gets to work and commits wholeheartedly to his “spoiled brat” persona.

He ruins a matchmaking dinner and uses his body to shield Fu Huiyu from a thrown cup of coffee.

He sticks by Fu Huiyu's side to tattle, humiliating anyone he dislikes on the spot.

But he doesn't understand why the harder he tries, the more inscrutable Fu Huiyu's gaze becomes.

...Um, does his benefactor think he's not being slutty enough?

A light bulb goes off in He Xun's head. He's got it!

To save his rapidly crumbling reputation, he unveils the “birthday surprise” he's carefully planned for his benefactor in front of everyone, clothes half-removed, to the shock of the entire room.

He Xun can't help secretly celebrating. This should ruin his reputation, and the final payment is in the bag!

The next second, Fu Huiyu yanks the tablecloth off and wraps him up in it, then carries him in his arms in front of everyone. His eyes are dark with something He Xun can't understand.

“I'll deal with you when we get home.”

At first, Fu Huiyu only wanted a pawn he could use.

But the pawn's self-sacrifice made him break his own rules, and the pawn's overstepping concern made him restless.

When the pawn was in danger, even the mask of indifference he'd worn for years finally cracked.

At last, he realized that the one losing control wasn't the pawn. It was him.

P.S.:

Both leads are sexually and romantically devoted to each other, and neither is possessive.

The protagonist is imperfect and morally flawed. Readers with high moral standards should proceed with caution.

One-on-one romance, mutual devotion, happy ending. They can argue all they want, but it has to be sweet.
