The Real and Fake Young Masters Fell in Love

Lin Qixue is a frail, sickly weakling who can't even take care of himself.

His adoptive parents' family killed his biological parents and stole their estate, while his younger brother even stole his fiance. All he can do is meekly accept it.

No one knows that since he was twelve, Lin Qixue has silently kept track of every dirty deed his adoptive parents committed and everyone they offended.

Call him evil by nature or deep-minded, if you like. Either way, he knows exactly how to ruin his adoptive parents, turn everyone against his younger brother, and make sure they die horribly.

After enduring it for ten years, he's ready to act

But before he can begin his plan, he has a dream.

It turns out this world is a story about a pampered heir adored by a wealthy family. His younger brother is the chosen protagonist, and he himself is the sinister, twisted villain.

In the dream, he does indeed make his move.

His adoptive parents die by charcoal poisoning, and his younger brother's expression becomes horribly contorted with agony before he dies. Everything that was once taken from Lin Qixue returns to his hands.

With everything restored to its rightful owner, he smiles and accepts it, without a scratch on him and with not a speck of dirt on his clothes.

Then the older brother, who had only ever existed in his family's stories, returns.

He sees right through Lin Qixue's disguise.

Lin Qixue loses to him, unable to fight back, and everything turns to ash in an instant.

After waking, Lin Qixue sits on the bed for a while, then laughs silently.

In the dream, he lost because he underestimated his opponent and didn't understand how terrifying Big Brother was.

But now he knows!

All he has to do is lie low and act obedient, find his weakness, and then strike a fatal blow.

If he can fool the whole world, he can fool Big Brother too.

On the day Big Brother returns, Lin Qixue lifts his pale face. His eyes are damp and red-rimmed, and his shoulders tremble with his coughing, making him look like a delicate white flower that could snap in the slightest breeze.

"Brother, Qixue missed you so much..."

.

Lin Tingbai is a god-tier author who's written every kind of trope. Then he suddenly transmigrates into a wealthy-family pampered-heir novel packed with every kind of melodrama, becoming the protagonist's older brother.

Bored, he skims through the plot: a fight between the real and fake young masters over the same man, a love triangle, a battle for affection... Okay, next page.

On the next page, the delicate white flower picks up a knife.

Lin Tingbai sits up straight.

Cruel, vicious, evil by nature: no description is too much for this delicate white flower.

But he's so beautiful, holding a knife, smiling as he thrusts his fingers into a wound.

His fierce, striking beauty pierces Lin Tingbai's eyes and burrows into his mind.

Impatiently flipping ahead, Lin Tingbai is suddenly struck by lightning:

"Lin Tingbai locks Lin Qixue in a lightless room. He chooses the golden cage himself and fastens the chains himself."

Ah, the caged-bird plot. The leads are him and the delicate white flower.

After a moment of silence, Lin Tingbai runs his tongue over his itching teeth and immediately tells his assistant, "Book a flight. I'm going back to the country."

.

On the day they meet, Lin Qixue smiles pitifully and calls him "Brother" in a soft voice.

Lin Tingbai's teeth itch. His teeth graze the side of Lin Qixue's neck as he whispers in his ear:

"Hello, darling."
