Older Man/Not-Quite-Incest/Daddy/Controlling vs. Stubborn 1. At fifteen, Jiang Huan was working under the table at a construction site. He never had enough to eat or wear, and his biggest dream was to get through winter without frostbitten fingers. He never imagined someone would mistake him for a wealthy family’s missing young master and that he would somehow end up living in a huge mansion. There was a warmhearted mother, a kind father, and little dogs and cats in the mansion. The only person who made Jiang Huan nervous was the eldest Jiang brother.

Jiang Shenzhi put away the ruler and looked at him quietly. “If anyone comes after you again, tell me right away. As long as I’m here, you won’t have to risk your life to settle a debt for the Jiang family.” Jiang Shenzhi was extremely controlling, but he always kept his word.

Jiang Shenzhi had known all along that he was a fake young master. Jiang Huan lost control. He ripped the test results to shreds, trashed his big brother’s study, and was about to grab the money and run when he looked up and saw Jiang Shenzhi standing in the doorway. “Are you done?” Jiang Huan’s eyes were bloodshot. He didn’t move. “Come here.” “Your hand’s bleeding.” The man bandaged his hand, then patted him on the head and said, unconcerned, “It’s no big deal. Why get so worked up? Wash your hands and come downstairs for dinner.” 3. They became co-conspirators, but the truth couldn’t stay hidden forever. Jiang Huan’s identity as the fake young master was exposed on his eighteenth birthday.
