Tsundere, possessive top x cheerful, self-reliant bottom
When Chen Shiqiu was young, his uncle, jealous of how well his business was doing and facing the imminent collapse of his own company, arranged a fire. His parents called for help at once and desperately shielded him. Fortunately, rescuers arrived in time and saved him, but his parents burned to death.
Shang Shixu's father had been a good friend of his parents, so he adopted him.
Just when Shang Shiqiu thought his life was finally turning around, his uncle was released from prison. He caught Shang Shiqiu kissing Shang Shixu and used it to threaten him. Not wanting to drag his brother into trouble, Shang Shiqiu disappeared from Shang Shixu's world.
Three years later, they meet again in a private room. Shang Shiqiu runs, and Shang Shixu chases him.
In the end, the older brother proves the cleverer of the two. One night, he succeeds in making Shang Shiqiu run a fever, and Shang Shiqiu drags him into bed.
Shang Shixu smiles in triumph.
Don't think you can leave me again.
The two meet again at Shang Shiqiu's workplace.
Scheming, secretly flirtatious top, sturdy, honest bottom. [Ongoing...]
Jiang Jiayu's village, Shanjiji, is desperately poor. His greatest dream is to marry a wife and enjoy a cozy life with a wife and children. His parents died in a car accident, and his relatives divided up the compensation money. He grew up by begging for food from the neighbors and now makes a living collecting mountain produce to sell in town, saving up a nest egg for marriage. Although he is intersex, he truly longs for a wife.
He sets out for Haicheng to find a wife. On the way, Su Shaoqiu helps him get back the bag a thief stole. Jiang Jiayu is so grateful that he invites Su Shaoqiu to his rented room and cooks him a meal. Su Shaoqiu thinks he's fallen for him at first sight and arranges for him to work as a housekeeper. Jiang Jiayu refuses, not wanting to trouble him. Su Shaoqiu says pitifully, "The doctor says my stomach condition... sigh, Jiayu, it's all right. I might be dead in a couple of years anyway."
Honest, simple Jiang Jiayu has no idea how city people operate, and is so alarmed that he hurriedly agrees. "Okay, I'll go."
Su Shaoqiu often hears him say he's saved up a nest egg for marriage by selling mountain produce and plans to use it to find a wife someday. Every time, it puts him in a bad mood.
One day, Su Shaoqiu deliberately makes a phone call in front of him, pretending to be upset because the company is having a cash flow problem.
Once again, Jiang Jiayu falls for Su Shaoqiu's scheme. Thinking of him as his lifesaver, he grits his teeth and lends him his nest egg for marriage.
Su Shaoqiu is delighted that his plan worked and thanks him.
Every day, a sturdy, honest, beautiful young man in an apron wanders around in front of him. How could a pure gay man like Su Shaoqiu possibly resist?
He seduces Jiang Jiayu, drawing him in one step at a time. By the time Jiang Jiayu realizes what's happening, it's too late.
He was tricked out of his nest egg for marriage, only to become the wife himself.
