A dark, cold, and taciturn gong x a gentle, scholarly, and occasionally feisty shou beset by misfortune.

He Chen x Xu Yuan.

–

Xu Yuan grew up with praises for his family background, good looks, and pleasant personality. He believed no problem was unsolvable, until the day—he transitioned from an Alpha to an Omega, his family went bankrupt, his parents ran away, and he was sold by his friend…

He had no idea what hell-level difficulty was until now, finding the absurdity somewhat laughable. After sleeping with his archenemy and love rival, he wished the King of Hell would come and take him away.

His crush: “…He has always loved you, I thought you knew.”

Xu Yuan: “…Huh?”

His crush: “Xu Yuan, recognize your true feelings sooner.”

Later, Xu Yuan realized that, when he was oblivious, He Chen had endured near-hellish suffering just to obtain the treasure bestowed by the Goddess of Fortune.

Notes:

1. The plot is common, even melodramatic; don’t focus too much on logic, it’s a bedtime short story.
2. Proceed with caution if you’re an extreme control freak, and be ready to withdraw.
3. Bittersweet taste, HE.
