3,650th day of secretly loving the Crown Prince of Beijing’s elite circle

Chen Qing has spent ten years as the indispensable right-hand man to Huo Beiming, the legitimate son of the powerful Huo family. Their relationship began in college as roommates and evolved into a deep professional partnership, with Chen Qing managing Huo Beiming’s business affairs and personal life while harboring a secret, unrequited romantic love. Huo Beiming, charming but emotionally irresponsible, frequently relied on Chen Qing’s loyalty, often making inappropriate advances or kissing him while intoxicated, only to retreat into the safety of their "brotherhood" when confronted. Chen Qing endured this ambiguity, believing his devotion would eventually be recognized, even as Huo Beiming pursued a relationship with Sheng Sisi, the daughter of a larger corporate family.

The central conflict ignites on Chen Qing’s birthday, when Huo Beiming, drunk, kisses him passionately and whispers that he likes him, leading Chen Qing to believe his feelings might be reciprocated. However, Huo Beiming immediately clarifies that he is marrying Sheng Sisi and dismisses Chen Qing’s affection as a misunderstanding, stating that their bond is purely fraternal. The situation deteriorates further when Sheng Sisi disappears on the day of their engagement banquet. Huo Beiming, consumed by panic and anger, publicly accuses Chen Qing of orchestrating the incident, slapping him and vowing to blacklist him from the industry if he does not return to his side. This public humiliation and false accusation shatter Chen Qing’s long-held illusions, prompting him to resign and seek revenge.

Chen Qing turns to Huo Mingrui, Huo Beiming’s illegitimate half-brother and corporate rival, who has long sought to dismantle the Huo family’s power structure. Chen Qing joins Dreamway, Huo Mingrui’s company, and immediately begins a campaign to weaken Huo Beiming’s position. He poaches key sales personnel and major clients, dealing significant blows to Huo Beiming’s upcoming vice-chairmanship bid. Simultaneously, Chen Qing discovers evidence of Huo Beiming’s infidelity during his courtship with Sheng Sisi. Rather than exposing it himself, he strategically shares this information with Sheng Sisi, leading to her family’s wrath. The Sheng family’s retaliation, combined with Huo Mingrui’s political maneuvering among the board members, results in Huo Beiming losing his vice-chairmanship and being expelled from the family business.

In the aftermath, Huo Beiming attempts to reconcile with Chen Qing, claiming he finally understands his true feelings and is willing to give up everything for him. Chen Qing, however, feels only disgust and rejects him completely, closing the door on their ten-year history. Meanwhile, Huo Mingrui, who sacrificed his own company to help Chen Qing execute the plan, offers him a new beginning. Although Chen Qing admits he does not yet have romantic feelings for Huo Mingrui, he accepts the possibility of friendship. The story concludes with Chen Qing finding professional independence and emotional freedom, leaving behind the toxic dynamic that defined his past, while Huo Beiming is left to face the consequences of his actions alone.
