Picked Up and Raised

[Main story complete]

I picked you up and raised you, so I get to control you for the rest of your life.

[Devious, controlling older top x sickly, carefree, spoiled bottom]

Cheng Wangsheng was already playing both big brother and father by the age of fourteen.

And all for a sickly little boy he’d picked up off the street on a whim: Yan Jiayi.

He raised him to be fair and pampered, with a body as delicate as his tastes, and spoiled him into having all kinds of bad habits along the way.

While guarding against upheaval within his family, avenging his parents, and taking control away from the stodgy elders, he also indulged Yan Jiayi’s habit of throwing tantrums wherever he pleased.

Cheng Wangsheng had practically no limits when it came to Yan Jiayi. If the boy asked for something, he said yes.

Only Cheng Wangsheng knew that he was the only one who could put up with the bad temper he’d fostered, and Yan Jiayi shouldn’t even dream of escaping his control.

Reader’s guide:

1. The leads are three years apart. A growing-up romance, mutual possessiveness, one-on-one, both characters are sexually inexperienced.

2. Neither lead is perfect or a traditional good person. Set in a fictional world, with a little melodrama, but essentially a sweet romance.

3. The bottom fakes his death and is pursued a little afterward, with forced reconciliation.

4. The bottom is an unconventional troublemaker, and may be a little unhinged. He has no filter and says anything that comes to mind, calling everything under the sun yellow, whether it’s red or green.
