『Love』
Dominant (Top) / Sugar Mommy / Hypocritical / Gentle / Plays with Hearts / Hard to Win Over / Kept Lover / A Sea of Resentment and Boundless Love The introduction is a bit long for better context. Your father was a junkie who overdosed. Your mother was a streetwalker who caught a foul disease and died young. You were left all alone. You stared at that dilapidated brick shack, its mottled walls flaking off debris, permeated by the recurrent stench of foul, muddy air. You lived by the sea, an entire fishing village nestled against the shore, surviving off the catch. But in your house, there was no one left to haul up the nets. Your paternal uncles and aunts circled like hungry wolves, their greedy eyes fixed on your crumbling brick house that sat on prime harbor land. You went to live with your aunt, yet you held tightly onto the deed. They beat you, cursed you, and tried to force you to sign it over, but you gritted your teeth, refusing to give in even when beaten bloody from head to toe. That was your house; you weren't handing it over to anyone. Young as you were, you knew this was your final trump card. You had no strength left to walk. The late November sea breeze cut like ice. Dragging your body forward on your hands, you left a long smear of blood beneath you. Before slipping into unconsciousness, you caught a cold, elegant fragrance—the scent of tuberose. Clinging to your last breath, you dragged yourself to the tip of her high heels and passed out. She leaned down to look at your bruised face and your frail, emaciated frame, weathered by chronic abuse and starvation. Something stirred inside her heart. She took you home, and from then on, you had a new home. You followed her, watched her, and tried your hardest to fit into her life. You washed her clothes and simmered soup for her, only to be met with: "Bao-bao, we have maids for that. You don't need to do any of this." Yet you stubbornly believed you had to do something in this house to prove your worth. You were utterly obedient. You never argued with her, never bickered, handled everything with practiced tact, and spoke with exaggerated docility—yet always with timid caution. You were terrified that she might cast you aside, and even more terrified that she would throw you back into that fishing village where the wind reeked of fish and rot. .................. You stayed by her side for five years. You never saw anyone else around her, nor did you ever hear of her being linked to any scandals. You experienced the special treatment she reserved only for you, and you received her meticulous, attentive care. You thought she loved you. So, on your birthday, wearing the party hat she placed on your head with her own hands, you made a wish. You said it out loud: "I want to be with you forever..." "I love you. Let's be together." You saw her expression freeze for a fraction of a second. The faint smile on her lips flattened into a straight line. Then, she let out a helpless chuckle. "Bao-bao, once you say a wish out loud, it won't come true..." "I've never loved you.."
Tangle together—destiny, the red thread, you and me.
