Author note~

This is my third novel and I am bad at writing novels so if you find any mistake or if you like to add something in this story comment me I'll add it~

______________________________________________

A cute nineteen-year-old boy named Wang Yi sat on the cold floor, his body covered in dirt.

Small bruises marked his pale skin. Heavy chains were wrapped around his wrists and ankles, making it impossible for him to move.

A metal mouth stopper was fixed over his mouth, preventing him from speaking a single word.

Two guards stood in front of him, watching carefully to make sure he wouldn't escape—even though he hadn't eaten for three days.

Wang Yi was a genius. Unfortunately, that genius had turned him into a victim. His adopted mother, Su Xiana, had used him for countless experiments since he was young.

Suddenly, the door opened.

Two people walked into the room—his adopted mother and adopted father.

Su Xiana immediately shouted angrily, “Are you really selling my masterpiece? He could earn us far more money if we keep him!”

His adopted father, Su Yang, frowned and replied coldly, “The government has already discovered that we've been conducting illegal experiments. If we want to avoid punishment, the best option is to either marry him off or sell him.”

Then he added calmly, “Luckily, I’ve already found a marriage partner.”

Before Su Xiana could argue again, a guard rushed into the room.

“Master Su Yang, the marriage partner has arrived.”

Su Yang’s expression immediately changed. He stood up straight as the man entered the room without waiting for permission.

No one dared stop him.

After all, this man was known as the most dangerous man in the world. He was also the owner of the world’s largest company. One single word from him could cause chaos across industries. His family name alone was powerful enough to make people rethink every mistake they had ever made.

His name was Hao Jiwan.

Hao Jiwan stepped inside slowly. His sharp

eyes landed on the boy chained to the floor.

He raised his eyebrows slightly.

Wang Yi looked almost dead. Covered in chains, weak from hunger, unable to move.

Su Yang noticed his reaction and quickly explained, “He is extremely intelligent. We gave him drugs so he wouldn't think clearly.

Otherwise… he might have already escaped those chains.”

Hao Jiwan simply nodded.

Then he spoke in a calm but commanding voice.

“Remove the mouth stopper… and the eye patch.”

Su Yang immediately nodded and gestured to one of the guards.

The guard quickly obeyed.

Wang Yi’s POV

So… they’re selling me.

Wang Yi didn’t feel much about it.

After all, he didn’t really belong to this world.

In his previous life, he had also been forced to be a genius. Scientists had experimented on him endlessly, treating him like nothing more than a tool. His intelligence had never brought him freedom—only pain.

Now he had been reincarnated into another body.

And ironically, this body had suffered the exact same fate.

Another experiment.

Another cage.

But this time, Wang Yi silently made a promise to himself.

I will live freely.

Not just for himself.

But also for the original owner of this body.

As he listened to the conversation around him, memories suddenly surfaced in his mind.

He realized something shocking.

This world… was actually a novel he once heard his brother talk about.

The moment he heard the names Hao Jiwan, Su Yang, Su Xiana, and Wang Yi, everything connected.

Hao Jiwan was originally the male lead’s father in the novel. His lover had committed suicide, and unable to bear the pain, Hao Jiwan eventually died as well.

Su Yang and Su Xiana were insignificant background characters. They only appeared in a single chapter—when they married Wang Yi off to Hao Jiwan.

In the story, Hao Jiwan didn’t love Wang Yi at first.

But slowly, over time, he fell in love with him.

The problem was…

Hao Jiwan never knew how to show his love.

Meanwhile, Wang Yi in the novel was a genius who had long lost the will to live. He believed everything in the world was meaningless.

So when Hao Jiwan confessed his feelings, Wang Yi misunderstood.

He thought Hao Jiwan only wanted him for his intelligence and knowledge.

And so…

Wang Yi killed himself in front of him.

Hao Jiwan, completely broken by this, later killed himself too.

They had a son named Hao Mian.

Everyone believed he was their biological child.

But the truth was—he had been adopted.

Hao Mian grew up without love from either a father or a mother. Because of that, he never learned how to love others. He became cold and distant, speaking only about business.

Later, he fell in love with a girl.

But when he realized that she loved someone else…

He ended his own life as well.

What a tragic story… Wang Yi thought.

While countless thoughts ran through his mind, his body remained still and silent.

Then he slowly lifted his eyes.

This time…

I’ll love you for him.

Wang Yi finally looked directly at Hao Jiwan.

At that moment, Su Xiana spoke with a fake smile.

“Do you like him, sir? He isn’t very well-behaved, but he’ll agree to anything if you treat him kindly… or bribe him with food and sweets.”

______________________________________________

Hey I just want to ask you all if I can write smut in this because I am freaky as hell and I think my story is incomplete without smut...😅

Su Xiana’s words hung in the air like poison.

“Do you like him, sir? He isn’t very well-behaved, but he’ll agree to anything if you treat him kindly… or bribe him with food and sweets.”

Hao Jiwan didn’t answer immediately.

Instead, he slowly walked closer.

Each step echoed in the silent room.

The guards instinctively stepped aside. Even Su Yang held his breath. No one dared interrupt him.

Hao Jiwan stopped directly in front of Wang Yi.

For a moment, he simply looked down at him.

Wang Yi’s face was pale, his lips dry from hunger, faint bruises decorating his skin. His thin wrists were wrapped in heavy chains, making the boy look fragile—almost like he might break if touched too roughly.

Yet his eyes…

His eyes were calm.

Too calm.

Not the eyes of someone who had been imprisoned and starved.

Hao Jiwan crouched down slowly until their faces were almost at the same level.

The room became even quieter.

Then he spoke.

“Look at me.”

His voice was low and commanding.

Wang Yi already had been looking at him.

Their eyes met.

For the first time, Hao Jiwan’s expression shifted slightly.

Most people trembled the moment they met his gaze.

But this boy didn’t.

There was no fear.

No hatred.

Only a strange… quiet curiosity.

Su Yang quickly tried to explain again.

“He’s very intelligent. Sometimes he acts strangely. But don’t worry, he’ll obey if you discipline him properly.”

Hao Jiwan ignored him.

Instead, he reached out his hand.

Everyone in the room stiffened.

His fingers gently grabbed Wang Yi’s chin, lifting his face a little higher.

Cold fingers against warm skin.

Wang Yi didn’t resist.

But inside his mind—

So this is Hao Jiwan…

The man who would one day destroy himself for love.

The man who had never learned how to love properly.

Wang Yi studied his face.

Sharp jawline.

Cold dark eyes.

An overwhelming presence that made everyone else look small.

He really does look like the kind of man who could destroy the world, Wang Yi thought.

Hao Jiwan suddenly spoke again.

“Why are you staring at me like that?”

His voice was calm.

But the question made the guards nervous.

No one had ever dared look at him like that.

Yet Wang Yi slowly spoke, his voice hoarse after days without food.

“…Because you’re handsome.”

The entire room froze.

Su Xiana almost choked.

Su Yang’s face turned pale.

The guards looked like they wanted to disappear.

Did this boy just casually flirt with the most dangerous man alive?

But Hao Jiwan…

Unexpectedly…

He chuckled.

A quiet, low sound.

It was so rare that everyone looked shocked.

Hao Jiwan’s grip on Wang Yi’s chin tightened slightly.

“Bold.”

Then his gaze moved down toward the chains.

“Why is he tied like an animal?”

Su Yang nervously laughed.

“Just a precaution. Like I said, he’s extremely intelligent. We couldn’t risk him escaping.”

Hao Jiwan stood up again.

His voice became cold.

“Remove them.”

Su Yang blinked in confusion.

“A-all of them?”

“Yes.”

The guards quickly moved forward and began unlocking the chains.

Metal clanked loudly as the restraints fell away.

For the first time in days, Wang Yi could move freely.

But the moment he tried to stand—

His body collapsed.

Three days without food had drained his strength.

Before he could hit the ground—

A strong arm caught him.

The room fell silent again.

Hao Jiwan was holding him.

Wang Yi blinked slightly.

His body was pressed against Hao Jiwan’s chest.

Strong.

Warm.

Completely different from the cold floor he had been sitting on.

Hao Jiwan frowned slightly.

“He’s too light.”

Su Xiana quickly laughed awkwardly.

“He’s been refusing to eat lately. Such a troublesome child.”

Wang Yi wanted to laugh.

Refusing?

They had literally starved him.

But he stayed silent.

Hao Jiwan looked down at him again.

“Do you want to come with me?”

It sounded less like a question…

And more like a command.

Wang Yi slowly looked up at him.

Their eyes met again.

Then Wang Yi smiled faintly.

“…Will you feed me?”

Another silence.

Su Yang looked like he might faint.

But Hao Jiwan answered without hesitation.

“Yes.”

Wang Yi’s smile became a little brighter.

“Then I’ll go.”

Inside his mind, he quietly added—

This time… I won’t let the story end in tragedy.

Meanwhile, Hao Jiwan was staring at the boy in his arms.

For some reason…

Something about Wang Yi felt dangerous.

Not physically.

But mentally.

It felt like this fragile boy could quietly crawl into someone’s heart…

And never leave.

Hao Jiwan turned toward Su Yang.

“The marriage contract.”

Su Yang quickly handed over the documents.

Hao Jiwan signed them immediately.

Just like that—

Wang Yi had officially become Hao Jiwan’s husband.

Hao Jiwan then looked at the guards.

“Prepare the car.”

He started walking toward the door, still carrying Wang Yi.

Wang Yi leaned weakly against him.

His eyes slowly closed.

But before he completely lost consciousness, he whispered very softly—

“Jiwan…”

Hao Jiwan paused.

That was the first time someone had called him that so naturally.

Not “Mr. Hao”.

Not “Chairman Hao”.

Just…

Jiwan.

Hao Jiwan looked down.

Wang Yi had already fainted.

But for some strange reason…

Hao Jiwan’s heartbeat felt slightly faster.

And he didn’t know why.

AUTHOR~

If you have any questions about the character ask me i have thought of every character personality and their past!!

Aren't i great!! :)

The car ride to the Hao residence was silent.

Hao Jiwan sat in the back seat with Wang Yi still resting against him. The boy had fainted from exhaustion, his breathing light and uneven.

Jiwan looked down at him occasionally.

Too thin, he thought again.

The boy didn’t look like a dangerous genius at all. He looked fragile, like someone who would break easily.

But those eyes earlier…

They had been far too calm.

Jiwan had met countless powerful people, criminals, politicians, businessmen. Everyone reacted to his presence.

Fear.

Nervousness.

Respect.

But Wang Yi had simply looked at him like he was observing something interesting.

That alone made Jiwan curious.

The car stopped in front of a massive black gate.

The Hao residence.

Servants quickly opened the doors when they saw their master step out carrying someone.

They all froze.

Their usually cold and distant boss was carrying a thin young man in his arms.

“Prepare food,” Jiwan said calmly as he walked inside. “Something light.”

“Yes, sir.”

He brought Wang Yi into a guest room and placed him gently on the bed.

For a moment he simply stood there.

Then he turned to leave.

But just as he reached the door—

A small voice spoke from the hallway.

“…Father?”

Jiwan stopped.

Standing outside the door was a small boy with soft black hair and big dark eyes.

He looked about four years old.

Hao Mian.

The boy held a small stuffed rabbit in his arms.

He rarely left his room.

But tonight he had quietly wandered out.

His eyes slowly moved toward the bed.

“…Who is that?”

Jiwan looked at his son for a moment.

“This is Wang Yi,” he said simply.

“Your new… parent.”

Hao Mian blinked.

He didn’t look shocked.

He just stared silently at the sleeping boy on the bed.

Then, after a few seconds, he quietly walked inside.

Jiwan watched but didn’t stop him.

Hao Mian approached the bed slowly.

The sleeping Wang Yi looked peaceful, his messy hair falling over his eyes.

Hao Mian tilted his head.

“…Pretty.”

Jiwan raised an eyebrow slightly.

The child reached out a tiny hand and gently poked Wang Yi’s cheek.

Soft.

Warm.

At that exact moment—

Wang Yi’s eyes slowly opened.

For a second, he looked confused.

Then he noticed the tiny child standing beside him.

Oh.

So this must be Hao Mian.

Wang Yi remembered the novel.

The quiet boy who grew up without love.

But right now…

The child looked so small.

So lonely.

Hao Mian stared at him with big curious eyes.

“…You woke up.”

Wang Yi blinked once.

Then suddenly—

He smiled softly.

“Hello.”

Hao Mian blinked.

“…Hello.”

The child hesitated before asking quietly,

“Are you sick?”

Wang Yi laughed weakly.

“Something like that.”

Hao Mian thought for a moment.

Then he climbed onto the bed.

Jiwan watched silently from the doorway.

The boy carefully placed his stuffed rabbit next to Wang Yi.

“…Rabbit helps when sick.”

Wang Yi stared at the toy.

Then at the serious little face.

His heart melted instantly.

This kid is too cute.

Wang Yi gently picked up the rabbit.

“Thank you.”

Hao Mian nodded proudly.

Jiwan felt something strange watching the scene.

Hao Mian rarely spoke this much.

Usually the child stayed silent, locked inside his room with books.

But now he was staring at Wang Yi like he had discovered something interesting.

Just then a servant knocked.

“Sir, the food is ready.”

Jiwan nodded.

He brought a tray himself and placed it on the bedside table.

Wang Yi sat up slowly.

The moment he saw the food his eyes lit up like a starving kitten.

Jiwan noticed immediately.

“…Eat.”

Wang Yi didn’t need to be told twice.

He began eating quickly but still neatly.

Hao Mian sat beside him watching with intense curiosity.

“…You eat a lot.”

Wang Yi swallowed.

“I haven't eaten for three days.”

Hao Mian’s eyes widened.

“…Three?”

Wang Yi nodded.

The child frowned seriously.

“That’s bad.”

Wang Yi laughed softly.

“You’re right.”

For the next few minutes the room was quiet except for Wang Yi eating.

Hao Mian suddenly leaned closer.

“…Are you really my parent now?”

Wang Yi paused.

Then he gently patted the boy’s head.

“If you want me to be.”

The child thought deeply.

Then nodded.

“…Okay.”

Jiwan watched silently.

Something about the scene felt…

Unexpectedly warm.

______________________________________________

Later That Night~

After eating, Wang Yi rested in the guest

room.

But he didn’t sleep.

Instead, he stared at the ceiling.

Step one complete.

He had entered the Hao family.

Now came the difficult part.

Living peacefully while hiding the fact that his brain worked far beyond normal people.

He didn’t want to become another experiment again.

So he had decided something.

He would only show 10% of his intelligence.

Just enough to survive.

Just enough to be useful.

But not enough to be feared.

Suddenly—

A loud sound echoed somewhere in the mansion.

A servant shouted from the hallway.

“Someone stole from the study!”

Jiwan’s cold voice followed.

“Find them.”

Wang Yi sighed softly.

Already?

He stood up and walked toward the door.

Outside, servants were searching everywhere.

Jiwan stood in the center of the hallway looking extremely dangerous.

But Wang Yi noticed something immediately.

The broken vase.

The muddy footprints.

The open window.

He looked once.

Then smiled faintly.

“…The thief is still inside the house.”

Everyone froze.

Jiwan slowly turned toward him.

“…How do you know?”

Wang Yi scratched his head like he was guessing.

“Well… if he escaped through the window, the mud would continue outside.”

Everyone looked.

The footprints stopped inside the hallway.

Wang Yi pointed casually toward a nearby storage room.

“…He’s probably hiding there.”

The guards rushed over.

The door opened.

And inside—

A trembling servant was caught immediately.

The hallway exploded with shocked whispers.

Jiwan looked at Wang Yi quietly.

“…You noticed that instantly?”

Wang Yi smiled sheepishly.

“Just lucky.”

But inside his mind he sighed.

Oops.

That was probably more like 15% brain power.

From the second floor balcony—

Little Hao Mian watched everything.

His eyes sparkled.

“…He’s amazing.”

And for the first time in a long time—

The quiet child smiled.
