The Capital's Crown Prince Sees Me as His Life, One Kiss and He's Addicted

[World-Weary, Aloof Young Master x Sweet, Soft, Sunny Girl]

[Eight-Year Age Gap + Super Sweet + Young Master of the Capital's Elite Circle + Rationality Lost]

Gu Lishang, the young master of the capital's elite circle, is restrained, aloof, and keeps women at arm's length. The string of black prayer beads on his wrist stands out, giving him an air of detachment from the world.

Watching his friends lose themselves in the pleasures of the world, he says, "Not interested, don't understand, but I respect it."

Until one day, driven to the brink by his family's pressure to marry, Gu Lishang declares, "I'm not getting married. I'm becoming a monk."

Old Master Gu tries everything to get him to loosen up, but fails every time.

Then he happens to meet Song Xi, a poor girl who's been kicked out by her family and has nowhere to turn.

By a strange twist of fate, Song Xi takes a bottle of wine to the wrong private room and runs into Gu Lishang.

Gu Lishang prides himself on staying composed, but when this sweet, soft woman ends up in his arms, every cell in his body cries out beyond his control.

"What perfume are you wearing?"

"Love potion?"

From then on, Gu Lishang is poisoned by something called Song Xi. She's overwhelmingly gentle, stealing his soul and taking his life, and he can never kick the habit. For her, he's willing to descend from his pedestal.

In the past, when everyone else got off work, Gu Lishang would keep working late into the night.

Now, while everyone else is typing so fast their keyboards practically spark, Gu Lishang leaves early.

"If it's time to clock out, then clock out. If it's time to go home, then go home. My little wife can't be without me. I'm leaving first."

Just who can't be without whom?

So they're all wage slaves, while Gu Lishang is the lovesick one?
