When Shu Nian was 12-year-old, he was adopted by Xie Yan from an orphanage. Nian was five years older than Xie and he worked as a page boy for him until Xie Yan went abroad to study. The main story began after Xie Yan returned home when he was 25 years old (Shu was nearly 30). Xie had a slightly tendency of homophobia and after he returned home he noticed that Shu was gay. He knew himself was not gay but he cannot control himself and just fell in love with Shu Nian. However, many obstacles will appear between them.—Grace
When Shu Nian was small, he was adopted from an orphanage by Xie Yan as his pet-servant. Shu was only a little older than Xie and worked as a child page for him until Xie went abroad to study (page child: a kind of servants who study and play with master's children). The main story begins after Xie Yian returns home, when he is 25 years old (Shu Nian is almost 30). Xie Yian has a slight tendency to homophobia and after returning home he realizes that Shu Nian is homosexual. He knows he is not gay, but he can not control himself, he just fell in love with Shu.—Fernando Galeano
