Top Alpha, But a Brooding Beta Has His Eye on Me

In public: aloof CEO x refined, universally adored young gentleman

In reality: obsessive, twisted, gloomy, love-struck b-turned-a top who tops x rebellious, not exactly normal, top-tier a bottom

Shen Jiayu x Shen Jiaming

They're both so full of airs, but only drop the act around each other.

Shen Jiaming is a top-tier Alpha, the second son of the Shen Group, and famously ruled by his older brother.

One day, the father he barely knew told Shen Jiaming he was a fake young master and, at the real young master's insistence, kicked him out of the house.

Shen Jiaming didn't waste a word. He immediately gave up his place.

Unexpectedly, his older brother came back from a business trip, wrapped his arms around him from behind, and reeking of alcohol, asked, "Shen Jiaming, where are you going?"

Shen Jiaming struggled. "Shen Jiayu, let go! I'm not your brother anymore. You don't get to tell me where I can go!"

Shen Jiayu gritted his teeth. "Don't even think about it."

Shen Jiaming got so worked up that his heat came early, hitting him hard.

His whole body burned. He pushed his brother away with a trembling voice. "Brother, let go. My heat's starting."

Shen Jiayu pressed his nose against Shen Jiaming's gland, rubbing against it over and over.

Shen Jiaming struggled with all his might. "Brother!"

Shen Jiayu's voice was hoarse, his gaze spellbound. "Baby, you smell so good..."

Shen Jiaming's eyes widened in shock. "Aren't you a Beta?!"

After Shen Jiaming was kicked out, he thought everyone would kick him while he was down. But, to his surprise...

His top-tier Alpha friend of many years cornered him in the stairwell, blushing. "Shen Jiaming, I like you..."

The top-tier Alpha president of the swimming club gently pleaded with him by the pool. "Shen Jiaming, give me a chance."

His tsundere top-tier Alpha student, whom he tutored, handed him a love letter. "Big brother, date me."

The nerdy, top-tier Alpha computer genius sent him a string of heart emojis in code.

His formerly strict Beta big brother held his hand. "Baby, I love you."

Shen Jiaming: "??? What's wrong with this world?! I'm a top-tier Alpha, for crying out loud!"

[Warning]

1. The older brother changes from b to a later on and undergoes a second differentiation.

2. The bottom has no feelings for his older brother at first!

3. The bottom is universally adored by people of all genders, but doesn't realize it. Apart from the older brother, everyone who likes the younger brother is there to advance the plot or romance. The younger brother doesn't like them and is only using them.

4. The top and bottom aren't on the same household register.

5. One-on-one romance, happy ending.

6. Both the top and bottom have been seriously corrupted by the Shen family. Don't judge them by normal standards; they have their own logic. (Highlighted!)

7. No children in the main story.

8. They spoil each other.

No Biting the Panda, Bamboo! by Feng Kuang Yan Li Zi

A carefree, possibly-brainy, clingy rich playboy top x an emotionally oblivious, beautiful doctor bottom

My next story will be The Underachiever: Can My Boyfriend at Tsinghua Take Me Along? (mutual-top school romance set in a county town)

Cheng Ruikang has looks to spare, emotional intelligence to match, and can sing a fortune into existence.

He thought he'd drift through life in this county town until he met Cui Yi, a stubborn mule with a sharp tongue and a short temper.

He obviously likes me, but he won't admit it.

Hot water in his cup in the morning, a hot-water bottle in his coat pocket in winter, sitting by his bedside all night when he's sick.

If that doesn't mean he likes me, then my name isn't Cheng!

Cui Yi was sent back to his hometown from the capital. His grandparents went to a lot of trouble to get him into a school in the county town.

The dorms in town were in terrible shape, so he rented a room.

What a coincidence: his landlord was his crazy deskmate.

His deskmate was suspicious of everything and kept asking bizarre, nonsensical questions.

"Cui Yi, you haven't fallen for me, have you?"

"Cui Yi, you don't like me, do you?"

"Cui Yi, you definitely like me!"

Obviously, someone had stopped playing basketball to protect him and started walking home with him right after school every day.

Obviously, someone kept sniffing him like a dog all day long. "Bro, you smell so good."

Obviously, someone came into his room every night and climbed into his bed, claiming, "The air conditioner is broken."

So how did it end up being him who liked the other guy?

What a lunatic.

Cui Yi was the top scorer on the capital's college entrance exam. The day the results came out, the admissions offices of two famous universities took turns calling him nonstop.

The top scorer cleared his throat. "May I ask... if I enroll at your university, can I bring my boyfriend?"

The top scorer's boyfriend snatched the phone and hung up. "Cui Yi! Are you seriously doing this?!"

The top scorer smiled. "Yeah. You rubbed off on me."

A carefree, funny guy x a quiet, hot-tempered guy

Mutual tops!!!

School romance in a county town, purely sweet, no second-chance romance.

Cheng Ruikang is genuinely bad at studying and can't get into university.
