Spoiled by His Favor

[Older man + fake G | Sly, calculating beauty x old-fashioned, patriarchal daddy]

Le Yunzhou has a secret: he's fallen for his adoptive older brother.

To outsiders, Jiang Yuchuan is cool and composed, the untouchable head of the Jiang family. Le Yunzhou, by contrast, is an adopted son whose biological father is unknown.

Few people know how indulgent Jiang Yuchuan is toward the younger brother he raised himself, taking care of everything personally.

And no one knows that on the day Le Yunzhou received his college acceptance letter, Jiang Yuchuan asked what reward he wanted.

With drunken, unfocused eyes, Le Yunzhou nestled bonelessly into his arms. "I want you, Gege. Kiss me."

The man kissed his forehead with restrained tenderness, but Le Yunzhou wasn't satisfied. He hooked an arm around his neck and kissed him.

Jiang Yuchuan gripped his chin, his voice low, cold, and hoarse. "Zhouzhou, don't do that again."

Le Yunzhou stayed draped over him, clutching his clothes, his eyes shining. "Gege, I want a reward like that."

He treated all the rational restraint the man had taught him as words going in one ear and out the other.

Le Yunzhou once foolishly dreamed of pulling the moon from its pedestal, but the man wouldn't yield. With a scoff, he left to study overseas.

At a party after Le Yunzhou returned to China, he smiled and casually handed a glass of wine to the person beside him.

It was an ordinary gesture, but the usually unreadable man suddenly turned cold.

That night, Le Yunzhou was pinned against a car. The man's eyes were sharp, his expression dark. "Two years abroad, and you learned how to serve people?"

Le Yunzhou didn't care. "Jiang Yuchuan, you're only my brother now."

Only later did Le Yunzhou discover that the pure, aloof moon was a sham. Jiang Yuchuan was a madman.

And he had opened the beast's cage with his own hands.

A flirtatious, sweet, defiant beauty bottom x a restrained, controlling daddy top

Reader's Guide:

1. The top and bottom are not related by blood, and they are not on the same household register.

2. Both are virgins, 1v1, older man, with a three-year age gap.

3. They reunite after the top returns to China at the beginning. The scheming little fox plays coy, and the romance isn't angsty.

4. The top is a true patriarchal daddy type, with overwhelming possessiveness and a need for control. He gets dark and jealous, goes mad later, and wants to force the bottom to stay, but finds himself unable to. He's the sort whose words say one thing while his actions say another.

5. The top has no fiancee or love interest. He's loved the bottom since childhood and pampers only him. Every denial of his feelings is just stubbornness.
