**A Domineering Yet Tsundere “Fishing” Top X A Gentle Yet Secretly Crazy Bottom**
**Heir to the Throne X Illegitimate Son**
**Zhao Shengge X Chen Wan**
Chen Wan is a master of social finesse, charming and resourceful. With his meticulous demeanor and reliable nature, he managed to infiltrate the circle of the elite heirs. Wherever he is, even the humidity in the air feels just right.
But all his efforts are not to make Zhao Shengge like him. Chen Wan works quietly behind the scenes, seeking neither credit nor recognition. Zhao Shengge doesn’t even need to know who he is—just catching a distant glimpse of him in the same circle is enough.
A friend, exasperated by his unrequited devotion, asks: “What’s the point of all this?”
“Nothing, really,” Chen Wan replies with a faint smile, his unwavering faith in his secret crush unshaken. “If I had to say, it’s just that I want him to feel a little happier, a little more at ease, wherever I am.”
Zhao Shengge, the epitome of a golden child, born into power and privilege, is someone Chen Wan knows he can never truly reach. Fully aware of this impossible gap, Chen Wan doesn’t allow himself the luxury of unrealistic fantasies and believes he has kept his admiration utterly seamless and unnoticeable.
At an auction, they cross paths. Chen Wan quietly blends into the crowd, offering a polite greeting like everyone else.
When he picks up something Zhao Shengge has dropped, he discreetly asks a friend to return it.
When someone approaches him to build connections through Zhao Shengge, he apologetically explains that Zhao doesn’t even know him.
He truly believes this to be the case.
Until, one day on a yacht, Zhao Shengge, with a cigarette in his mouth, fixes his gaze on him and says in a slow, deliberate tone:
“Chen Wan, I didn’t bring a lighter.”

**On the surface, the bottom seems to be chasing, but in reality, the top is quietly steering everything, making the bottom fall for him.**
A game of push-and-pull between adults, full of negotiations, subtle tests, and undercurrents running deep.
Together, they have enough schemes and hidden motives to fill eight hundred lifetimes.
