Shen Lingyu was the fake young master. After a series of failed attempts to bully the real young master, he was finally thrown out of the house.
Everyone else watched, eager to see the spectacle. Only his usually stern, taciturn older brother gave him a bank card. "Move in with me. I'll take care of you."
Shen Lingyu angrily tossed the card back. "I don't want it. I have nothing to do with the Shen family anymore."
Then he blocked every Shen family member's contact information, including his brother's.

After moving out, Shen Lingyu started working as a suggestive livestreamer online to cover his living expenses.
Every day when he went live, a wealthy patron showered him with gifts. In return, Shen Lingyu sent him photos of himself in skimpy outfits.
One day, the patron asked to meet in person. Shen Lingyu felt a little nervous and had planned to turn him down, but as soon as he saw the 100,000-yuan red packet the man transferred, he happily agreed.
But when Shen Lingyu arrived at the agreed location, the man was nowhere to be seen.
He grumbled to himself as he drank the beverage the patron had ordered for him. Before long, he lost consciousness.

When Shen Lingyu woke up again, he found his hands and feet tied. A familiar voice came from the darkness. "You wouldn't come home with me, so you went online to flirt and show yourself off to men instead?"
The blindfold was pulled away, and Shen Lingyu saw Shen Tinghan standing before him with a cold expression.
Then a pile of the dresses he'd worn on stream was tossed in front of him. The man's voice was tinged with anger. "If you like them so much, then put them on for me."

As the eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Tinghan was ruthless in the cutthroat world of wealth and power, terrifying everyone around him. But he had one weakness.
He loved his younger brother. He had long known that the boy wasn't a biological member of the Shen family, but he was afraid of frightening him, so he had quietly continued to play the role of his older brother.
But now that the truth was out, if he could no longer be Shen Lingyu's family, then he would be his lover.
