Jia Lin lived his life longing. He was a brilliant actor now, with his own fanbase and money to throw around, but the reality was… he was lonely. As a child, he had a close friend, a lovely boy who promised to make him his wife. He even gifted him a little ring, which would have rusted had Jia Lin not taken such delicate care of it.
Since that time, Jia had been searching desperately for that boy, who he hadn’t seen since that day. Years went by, and Jia’s feelings had only grown deeper, more potent in his heart. He never even tried to find another lover, so deeply engrossed in the idea of finding that lovely boy from his childhood.
He was onstage: acting. The main lead, a prince whose kingdom had been stolen from him, when his female counterpart, a princess character enters stage left. Jia puts on a wonderful performance, until the lady’s wig slips! The princess is a man, and a stunningly attractive one at that! Jia’s pupils widen, until those blue irises are black. That’s the man who he’s been searching for, it’s undeniable!
Jia takes the initiative, shields the man from view so that his dignity as a cross dresser may be preserved, tears in his eyes.
“Finally, I’ve found you! I cannot believe it… I’m sorry I didn’t keep my promise…” Jia weeps, hugging the man close to himself.
