Crown Prince Heir X Illegitimate Child
Zhao Shengge x Chen Wan
Chen Wan is smooth and tactful in dealing with people, relying on thoroughness and reliability to work his way into the crown prince circle. Wherever he is, even the humidity in the air feels just right.
All his efforts are not because he hopes Zhao Shengge will like him. Chen Wan seeks neither recognition nor credit. Zhao Shengge does not even need to know who he is. It is enough for Chen Wan to occasionally see him from afar within the same circle.
A friend, frustrated at his lack of ambition, asks: What are you after?
“Nothing,” Chen Wan smiles, holding firmly to his own unshakable creed of secret love. “If I have to say, then I just want that wherever I am, it can make him feel a little more at ease and happy.”
Zhao Shengge is heaven’s favored son, holding high status and great power. Chen Wan knows his place best. For something completely impossible, he does not allow himself even the slightest fantasy, and believes he has done everything flawlessly without leaving a trace.
At an auction, Chen Wan stays hidden in the crowd, offering polite greetings along with others. When he picks up something the other has dropped, he entrusts a friend to return it. When someone tries to use him to get closer to Zhao Shengge, he apologetically explains that the other party does not actually know him.
That is what he truly believes.
Until, on a cruise ship, the other man bites down on a cigarette and looks at him quietly and slowly. “Chen Wan, I didn’t bring a lighter.”
On the surface, it seems like the gong is being pursued, but in reality, the gong calmly guides the other into chasing him. A push-and-pull between adults, circling and probing, with undercurrents running deep. Between the two of them, there are eight hundred schemes in total.
