After Pretending to be a Love Rival, He Was Targeted by an Unhinged Big Shot

Zhong Su died at twenty-one, at the peak of his youth.

Seven years later, he opened his eyes, wearing a stranger’s face, and returned to the lowest, most wretched depths of society.

The first person he wanted to see was Chen Huan, the friend who had once faced life and death with him.

But what he found was a man shrouded in hostility, a complete stranger.

The man had sun-kissed skin, a dangerous thorn tattoo coiled around his neck, and an expression as cold and untamed as a wild black panther.

He flicked his fingers lightly, cigarette ash drifting into the ashtray, his gaze piercingly cold as if it could see right through Zhong Su: “Implying you’re a dead man? You’ve got guts.”

“Since you want to prove it, then tell me,” the corner of his lips curled into a frosty smile, “what does the thing between my legs look like?”

Zhong Su’s face turned ashen as he forced the words through gritted teeth: “Always bigger than mine. Happy now?”

Chen Huan let out a cold laugh and smashed the ashtray into Zhong Su, sending this clumsy “imposter” to the hospital.

Zhong Su gave up hope, falsely claiming to be Zhong Su’s former lover and insisting that finding Chen Huan was just a coincidence.

If the friend who’d shared life and death couldn’t recognise him, then perhaps the person he used to be truly was dead.

He saved up money, preparing to leave Yan Port, but on the eve of his departure.

Chen Huan pinned him forcefully onto the sofa, his breath scorching, his eyes burning with seven years of suppressed madness and desire.

“Who the hell are you? If you dare say you’re Zhong Su’s old lover again,” he chuckled darkly, his tone chilling, “I’ll make you mine right now.”

The cold leather pressed against his spine, the strange sensations coursing through his body making Zhong Su’s scalp tingle—

It’s over. The person his best friend had been longing for all these years… was actually him!

*

No one knew that all the madness in Chen Huan’s life had been spent on a dead man.

Seven years after that person’s death, a young man with a familiar tone and gaze recklessly barged back into his world.

“Guess how long I’ve been waiting for you?”

“Seven years.”

“No. From the first moment I saw you—ten years.”

Seven years is long enough for everything to change.

But I’ve loved you, from beginning to end, just as I always have.
