Synopsis

[Two Male Leads + Hypocrite vs. Truly Gloomy + Radiant on the Outside, Rotten to the Core + Intense Push and Pull + The Pursuer's Road to Redemption + Happy Ending]

Xi Le's whole life depended on pretending.

Pretending to be a rich second-generation heir, pretending to have an impressive education, pretending to have impeccable taste. He kept it up until he almost believed his own image as a man who was radiant and flawless.

He basked in everyone's envy, especially Yan Qi's: the genius who always came second, with a gloomy gaze, and who was rumored to be jealous even of ants passing by.

Xi Le knew Yan Qi envied him, envied him down to his bones. The feeling was addictive.

Yan Qi was sponsored by Xi Le's perfect younger brother, the one who had taken everything from him and gotten the life he wouldn't even dare dream of.

When he learned about his brother's new boyfriend, his urge to compete exploded.

“Yan Qi,” Xi Le said with a gentle, harmless smile, offering him a carefully woven trap. “Want to give us a try?”

Watching the envy and longing swirling in Yan Qi's eyes, so intense they seemed almost painful, Xi Le knew the fish had taken the bait.

Yan Qi hated Xi Le. He hated how effortlessly Xi Le had everything he longed for, and how perfect even his smile was.

Being with Xi Le was like drinking poison to quench his thirst. He sank into overwhelming envy and twisted love, thinking he'd finally grasped the moonlight.

Until the day Xi Le's younger brother tore away every disguise in public.

A slum. Fake luxury goods. Taste learned by rote. Even his gentleness was calculated...

Had Yan Qi gone mad with jealousy over a fake?

He ran.

But Xi Le clung to him. The feigned tenderness in his eyes shattered, revealing the same obsessive madness beneath it.

“You knew from the start, didn't you?”

“We're the same kind of people!”

A Two-Male-Lead Story With a Different Twist

Any stories with two male leads, a gripping pace, and fresh character concepts? Nothing like fluffy little sweethearts with naturally airheaded, cheerful personalities. I want highly intelligent characters, with a bit of a healing-redemption theme.
