"They said a man like Hua Yong should never fall in love."
They were right.
Because the last time he did...someone died.
After the death of Sheng Shao You, Hua Yong became a monster in a suit-ruthless, manipulative, and dangerously unstable during rut.
When a scandal threatens to expose just how uncontrollable he truly is, the solution is forced upon him:
Marry an Omega. Immediately.
Someone quiet. Disposable. Obedient.
Someone like Gao Tu.
A mute florist with soft eyes, a tragic past, and a child who depends on him for everything.
He's perfect.
Because he can't speak.
He can't accuse.
He can't ruin Hua Yong.
Or so he thought.
Because Gao Tu doesn't need words to resist.
Not when his silence speaks louder than anger.
Not when his presence begins to unravel everything Hua Yong has buried.
And not when Hua Yong-who swore he would never love again-
starts to look at him... the same way he once looked at a man who no longer exists.
"You're nothing more than a replacement."
That's what Hua Yong tells him.
But if that's true...
why does he hesitate when Gao Tu tries to leave?
Why does his control shatter when someone else gets too close?
Why does a child who isn't his... feel like the only thing tethering him to sanity?
