Oh No! My Fated Mate Is My Crush's Uncle

【Male-male leads + marriage before love + charged push and pull + sweet indulgence + both are each other’s one and only. A slow-witted, optimistic bottom VS a doting, devoted, seemingly innocent but secretly cunning CEO top】 【Also known as: Flirting openly! Seducing in secret! The aloof uncle is flirtatious, sly, persuasive, and loves to act cute】 In the seventh year of Mu Qiubai’s unrequited love for his straight friend Xie Chidun, his uncle Xie Lin’s name suddenly appeared on Mu Qiubai’s waist, binding the two as fated partners. Fated partners afflicted with “name imprint syndrome” suffer fatal side effects such as insomnia if they stay apart too long. Only intimate contact with their partner can ease the symptoms. But Xie Lin hates him, and can’t even stand to look at him. Faced with the choice of dying from his illness or dying after being rejected, Mu Qiubai decisively chooses the former. Just as he’s wondering what to write in his suicide note, Xie Lin smashes open the door to his hospital room. The man, usually so untouchable, looks exhausted, sporting dark circles like a panda. He looks at Mu Qiubai like a ferocious beast eyeing its prey. “Help me sleep.” “Money, cars, a house, company shares, connections in show business. Whatever you want, just ask.” “I look like Xie Chidun. You can pretend I’m him and do whatever you’ve ever wanted to do to him.” “...” The side effects are so unbearable that Mu Qiubai is even willing to be a substitute. * At first, Mu Qiubai thinks being a substitute means nothing more than holding hands and hugging. Later, holding hands turns into kissing and cuddling, and Mu Qiubai feels guilty for making such a huge sacrifice. Later still, every time he meets Xie Chidun alone, Xie Lin uses “comforting his wounded heart” as an excuse to keep him from leaving the house for three days. Only belatedly does Mu Qiubai realize something is wrong. “Are substitutes always this dedicated and hardworking these days?” - “We didn’t become fated partners because destiny chose us. It was the inevitable result of my loving you.”, Xie Lin
