"Headline News: Gu Moheng has returned to the country."
Over eight years, Wen Chen built himself into an impregnable fortress. He was the gentle architect, praised by the industry, emotionally stable, with clear boundaries—a perfect collaborator. Until he met Gu Moheng again at a project bidding conference.
Eight years ago, that man cast him aside and left the country. Eight years later, he returned as a financial titan, cold and ascetic, his gaze filled with undisguised possessiveness towards Wen Chen.
Everyone said that the new tycoon Gu Moheng had a heart of iron, valuing efficiency and returns above all else. But no one knew that his sole purpose for returning to the country was Wen Chen, the one he had lost.
The moment they reunited, Gu Moheng cornered him against a wall in an empty corridor, his breath scalding: "Wen Chen, every step of my return has been to come to you."
"This time, you can't escape."
Wen Chen looked up, his eyes holding the detachment and calm forged over eight years. Yet, the meticulously built cage in his heart, constructed for Gu Moheng, had quietly locked.
He smiled, his lips even curving into their usual gentle arc: "Mr. Gu, the drama of a long-awaited reunion doesn't suit us."
Wen Chen couldn't let go of that relationship, revealing his fangs for the first time in eight years. He obediently entered the "cage" meticulously crafted by Gu Moheng, accepting his harsh investment terms and tacitly allowing his forceful intervention in his life.
Until Gu Moheng, eyes red, pushed him against the wall, his voice hoarse: "Wen Chen, do you have a heart or not?"
Wen Chen finally slowly shed all his disguises, his fingertips tracing the other's reddened eyes, his lips curling into a cold smirk. "Gu Moheng,"
"Isn't it too late to ask that question now?"
#He thought letting go was protection, but in reality, it was the cruelest torture for both of them#
#Eight years, not forgotten, but a long-planned, forceful conquest#
#The most cunning hunter often appears in the guise of prey#

Tan Quelu was a notorious 'green tea' boy from the juvenile detention center. One day, he unexpectedly transmigrated into a book, becoming a cannon fodder 'white lotus' in an old-fashioned aristocratic academy.
The protagonist gong (shou in the original text, but often translated as gong in BL contexts for the active role) is a persistent little sun, who bravely enters the world of the "Heavenly Dragon People" F3, enacting countless love entanglements with them.
Tan Quelu is the protagonist gong's roommate, standing in an unobtrusive corner, secretly envying and longing for a drama that doesn't belong to him.
The System: "As a qualified white lotus, your virtues are: pure, intelligent, kind, and harmless. Your catchphrase is: 'Oh, how innocent I am, just quietly observing this world.'
"Your mission is: to do your best to protect the protagonist gong, follow the plot to attract the attention of F3—after getting full marks, be bullied and humiliated, tormented physically and mentally, and finally, radiating saintly light, forgive the whole world and smile as you receive your bento box!"
Tan Quelu, who had been operating a sewing machine for three years in the juvenile detention center: "..."
Get full marks? But he only knows how to sew clothes and make homemade parachutes.
F1, the hot-tempered and awkward youth who struggles to express his love. F2, the cold, icy student council president who secretly manipulates people's hearts. F3, the handsome, sickly academic prodigy with severe childhood trauma.
On a campus built on wealth and money, hidden in the darkness are pairs of deep, dark eyes, spreading like cold serpents, silently coiling around the same figure. When the tide recedes and the fog clears, Tan Quelu stands at the apex of the pyramid, countless privileged young masters kneeling at his feet, lowering their heads to kiss his fingertips, willingly submitting.
#Those who love me, keep loving; those who hate me, don't stop.
Tan Quelu: "I want to create a world made only of white lotuses (firmly)."
A certain senior big shot: "I fully support my full-marks guy."
"I'm so confused, watery-eyed white lotus, brain-sick fake saint gong x Why are you confused again, only loves white lotuses, tranquil senior big shot shou."
