What Happens In Rome.... [Lgbt] [✔]

At first glance Wei appears to be the most composed, calm man you can think of, but inside he's shaken by an anxiety that constantly chokes him.
Trying to understand him Yunlan will find out how his depression and lack of self-esteem almost ruined his life.
Now he can either run for his life or keep by his side and help him fight it.

~~~

Wei moved to Italy to start a new life, planning a way to make things right with his parents.
He is reserved, we could call him emotionally fragile; it scares him when people stare at him or gossip. He has some self-confidence issues yet unresolved.
In Rome he meets Yunlan, as extrovert and exuberant as he can get, who steals his heart away. Will Wei learn that he doesn't need to obey to be loved?

Yunlan has plans of his own for them, but unknown to him Wei's fiancee is about to arrive...

🔵 I borrow some names from Priest's novel Guardian because I love them, but this story has nothing to do with the novel/drama, so you Do Not need to know that to read this story.

I edited the cover with pictures of Chinese actors Zhu Yilong and Bai Yu. Same for the banner.
