『Bitter Beneath the Sweet』
Xie Yuye is notorious in his circle as an unbridled, freewheeling playboy with a roguish charm and an effortless knack for flirtatious games. It feels as though anyone can get close to him, yet in truth, he is an impregnable fortress that no one can breach. Casual jokes roll off his tongue without a second thought, and his seductive charm is second nature. He is more than happy to while away the night with you, yet he will never surrender his heart—the second anyone crosses the line, he flashes a smile and retreats, putting distance between them. Others write him off as a pleasure-seeking hedonist living a loose, untethered life, unaware that beneath that dissolute shell lies a cold, unyielding scar locked deep within his heart, one he refuses to let anyone see. He keeps his loneliness and grievances crushed down in the deepest depths—a private, bitter little secret belonging to him alone. He doesn't believe in unconditional devotion and dares not expose his vulnerabilities. Even as he craves the faint warmth of someone drawing near, his instinct is to push away anyone who tries to reach him.
