Cheating, mistresses, illegitimate children.
Any one of those would cause an ordinary family to descend into chaos. In the Victor family, they're nothing unusual.
As the least noticeable member of the entire family, A. Victor spent more than twenty years practically invisible.
After finally making it to the brink of graduating from college, with better days just around the corner, he somehow became the center of attention for the whole family.
His father, who had spent his life either cheating or on the verge of cheating, urgently ordered him to come home.
His second brother, who was never seen alive or dead and whose divorce battle with his ex-wife was famous to everyone, suddenly came back from the dead.
His third sister, who had vowed to work forever and never marry, remained aloof as ever, sweeping her gaze over everyone as if they were trash.
And then there were all the half-siblings whose names he couldn't even remember, dragged into the open one after another, gathered around a strange woman.
Seeing the woman's pregnant belly, A took it remarkably well.
He silently counted on his fingers to figure out which number mother this was. His half-brother, who called himself a woman but never had surgery and went around flaunting his heavy makeup, congratulated him on becoming a father.
A was instantly dumbfounded and vehemently protested:
How was he, a perfectly respectable virgin, about to become a father?!
The woman had clearly come prepared and immediately produced evidence.
A gave up and blurted out, "I'm impotent, gay, and a bottom."
His father's expression darkened, while his siblings all looked wonderfully shocked in their own ways.
Only Andre, who had been ordered to bring A back, looked at him with a meaningful expression. Andre was the burden his father's latest lover had brought into the family.
In the end, A gained a new identity in life. He took it in stride. Anyone could be a father, and it didn't matter whose father you were.
But some people just couldn't stand the idea of him being this kind of father. They insisted he become that kind of father instead.
Andre Clément had an unknown father. From childhood, he followed his mother, who loved him more than life itself, from one man to another. It wasn't until he joined the Victor family that he finally found stability.
A. Victor was the youngest legitimate child in the family.
When they first met, A hid on the second floor, peering over the railing to secretly watch the people downstairs. No one noticed him, except Andre.
[Useless, goofy bottom x fake-serious, sly older daddy top]
[Reading Guide]
1. Bottom's POV, one-on-one, first love for both, older top, five-year age gap.
2. A melodramatic ensemble cast with everything you could ask for. The leads' relationship may be the only pure white jasmine flower in the story.
3. The child in the blurb has nothing to do with the bottom. The top is the child of his mother and another man, unrelated to the bottom's father. The top's mother and the bottom's father never married.
Theme: A harmonious family brings success in everything.
Levi's friend is pretty good.
The male lead has such a good mentality; if I were a cuckolded father, I'd explode.
The old man has so much energy, he should go to work.
According to the original text, Daniel should be Andrei's half-brother (from the same mother but different fathers). There's a mistake in the writing.
