In the elite business circle, everyone knows about the ruthless and heartless CEO of the Chu Group, Chu Shangluo, who rose to power by taking advantage of his foolish older brother. It’s also known that Chu Shangluo has a “dog” — his personal secretary, Ren Jiaoming. Secretary Ren is cold, abstinent, refined, and perfect. He’s wholly devoted to his boss, incredibly capable, and not only excels during the day at the office but is also dependable at night at home. From day to night, he meticulously takes care of Chu the Tyrant CEO, sparing no effort — a true model of the secretary world.... more>>

The gossiping masses are both envious and indignant, thinking that the cruel Chu Shangluo doesn’t deserve such a strong, handsome, and loyal subordinate.

But unexpectedly — the loyal dog later turned on Chu Shangluo. The betrayal left the tyrant CEO so down and out that he ended up as a farmer, raising fish, feeding chickens, and planting crops.

As for why he was betrayed, rumor has it that Ren Jiaoming is actually the adopted son of the Wen family, the mortal enemies of the Chu family, and he had been lurking by Chu Shangluo’s side for years to destroy the Chu Group.

What’s even more interesting is that the young master of the Wen family bears a 60% resemblance to Chu Shangluo. So not only was the old CEO forced to abdicate, but it turns out he’d also been a stand-in for the Young master Wen for all those years?!

While the gossipers are thrilled by the drama, they can’t help but sigh — better to raise a real dog. If you treat a person as a dog, it’ll only lead to humiliation!

Lately, Chu Shangluo has been laughing at himself for being blind. He had trusted that man, nurtured that man. He thought their feelings were mutual, but in the end, he was just someone else’s stand-in! f*cker's stand in!

In a small countryside hut, Chu Shangluo, covered in dirt, looks across at the impeccably dressed man who always keeps a stern face and rarely speaks. With a carefree attitude, he tosses the company seal onto the ground.

“You endured your cleanliness obsession to come to this filthy place just for this? Take it. I couldn’t care less. Let’s pretend we never knew each other. Get lost.”

Ren Jiaoming stares at the seal but doesn’t reach for it. For the first time, his perpetually icy face shows a faint crack.

--

Ren Jiaoming: “If you’re willing to come back to me, I’m willing to continue being your dog.”

Chu Shangluo: “Thanks, but no thanks. I don’t need a dog.”

Li Wenshui is nothing like his name, which translates to “warm water.” Instead, he’s like boiling water—scalding and turbulent, leaving no room for approach. He’s selfish, shallow, materialistic, vain, and loves to boast and show off. It seems every detestable trait a person could have can be found in him. People often say he’s good for nothing except having a pretty face. His mother ran away, his father remarried, and his stepmother called him unlucky. Meanwhile, his younger half-brother was cherished and spoiled, receiving everything he could possibly want. Growing up in such a suppressive and toxic environment twisted Li Wenshui. He refused to accept his fate and wanted to fight for himself.... more>>

He deliberately approached Liang Jin, the wealthy young master his younger brother secretly admired. With careful scheming, he managed to catch Liang Jin’s attention. Everything that was bound to happen eventually happened. But when Li Wenshui sought a stable relationship, Liang Jin’s gaze seemed to say: Li Wenshui, you’re not worthy.

In Liang Jin’s eyes, Li Wenshui—who actively sought him out and flattered him—was selfish, greedy, and insatiable. Yet he pretended to be innocent to please Liang Jin. Liang Jin despised such shallow gold-diggers. The only reason he got involved with Li Wenshui was due to a trivial bet with his indulgent friends:

How long could someone like Li Wenshui, with no rewards given, hold onto his so-called “love”?

Liang Jin casually agreed to the wager. To everyone’s surprise, Li Wenshui truly stuck it out for an extended period without asking for a single thing in return.

During this time, Liang Jin discovered a different side of Li Wenshui—a resilient and stubborn side that evoked his compassion. For the first time, Liang Jin genuinely wanted to protect someone.

This social experiment, meant to toy with the humanity of a poor man by testing his endurance, ended up ensnaring the wealthy man, Liang Jin, instead.

But by then, Li Wenshui had already fled, broken and scarred.

When they met again, Liang Jin wanted to talk about love. This time, Li Wenshui dropped the pretense and gave up entirely:

“Love? It costs 200,000 yuan per minute to talk about feelings.”

Li Wenshui is like a dandelion seed—tiny and insignificant, drifting wherever the wind takes it. But once it touches the soil, it digs in with all its might, roots deeply, and grows with unyielding effort.
