It mainly tells the story of a protagonist whose family is destroyed by the father of the other protagonist, and who is also forced into drug addiction by the father.

Also, the other protagonist is in very poor health, constantly coughing up blood and being hospitalized. It's really good; I've reread it several times.

   ④ Before the age of seven, he barely survived under the oppression of his parents. He was so oppressed that he couldn't resist, only able to barely obey to gain a sliver of respite. After seven, he thought following Si Jinnian would bring a fresh start, but he was repeatedly isolated at school. In university, he thought he could escape him, painstakingly piecing together the knowledge he had acquired over time, barely managing to get into a university in another province. However, on the day he received his acceptance letter, he discovered it was from a well-known university in Z city. That acceptance letter made him seem utterly ridiculous. After that, he was completely confined at home for almost five years. He numbly accepted all the suffering fate brought him, his body trying to salvage his shattered soul. His brain tried to forget the past suffering bit by bit, but the painful nightmares still descended at midnight.

The protagonist's mother is also sick and needs money. The other protagonist says he wants to be with the protagonist's brother and will give the protagonist enough money. However, the protagonist doesn't want his brother to be kept as a lover, so he discusses with his brother about pretending to be his brother (the protagonist and his brother are twins, and the other protagonist has always liked the protagonist).

The uke (bottom) was so sweet and gentle that he always seemed to want to be bullied.
