Pretty, clueless, and utterly shameless bottom x scheming, possessive, daddy-type top
[Older man x healing and redemption]
[Starting in October]

Bai Qiao is famous among the second-generation crowd for doing nothing with his life. The young heirs and heiresses all avoid him, but Bai Qiao doesn't care.
But now, he and his older brother are meeting in bed.
It's a long story. The night his brother cut off his cards after a fight, Bai Qiao's father told him that someone in the family wasn't biologically related to them.
Wow, playing Werewolf at a time like this.
But the one who wasn't related was not him. It was his older brother, Yu Huaichuan.
But apart from Yu Huaichuan, everyone in their family was useless.
Without him, the whole family would be out on the streets.
The family wanted to pretend nothing had happened. Yu Huaichuan simply said, "You can make requests. I won't refuse."
*
To keep Yu Huaichuan in the family, everyone discussed it and decided to arrange a marriage alliance. Their parents immediately turned their attention to Bai Qiao's younger sister.
She flatly refused. "Why don't you have Bai Qiao marry him? He won't refuse, anyway."
Bai Qiao: o.O? Leaving aside the fact that he's a man... they actually want him to do it!
"But would your brother agree? Xiao Qiao has no abilities whatsoever."
...Were they secretly insulting him?
*
With no choice but to do as he was told, Bai Qiao went.
Bai Qiao wasn't smart, but he was great at sucking up to people, especially his brother.
So when Yu Huaichuan saw him in bed, Bai Qiao was blinking ingratiatingly at him. "Brother, you're home from work~"
The man's brow lifted slightly. "Why are you here? Weren't you adamant about leaving?"
Bai Qiao gave an awkward laugh and took the man's hand, expertly acting sweet. "How could I ever leave my most, most, most beloved brother?"
What a bastard. All he ever did was give Bai Qiao attitude!
His brother didn't hold back at all, and thoroughly wore him out that very night. Holy shit, how could his brother be so amazing at everything? Bai Qiao refused to accept it.
After his brother wore him out every few days, he gave in.
*
After they married, Bai Qiao went to a business dinner for the first time in his life. The young heirs and heiresses who used to look down on him now regarded him with respect, even politely and humbly raising their glasses to him.
Bai Qiao was loving it. He poked Yu Huaichuan's shoulder. "Brother, bring me to more events like this. I feel respected."
Yu Huaichuan simply took the glass from his hand. "Should I also have a nameplate made for you, with 'I am Bai Qiao' written on it?"
"That won't do. Without you, Yu Huaichuan, who would care about me, Bai Qiao?"
"Then we'll add, 'Yu Huaichuan's version.'"
That night, a nameplate made of pure gold, with a bell dangling from it, rang out in alternating chimes, piercing the stillness of the night.
Yu Huaichuan asked softly, never stopping what he was doing, "Do you like it?"
With the nameplate in his mouth and tears in his eyes, Bai Qiao shook his head frantically. All he wanted was a nameplate. His brother wanted to kill him in bed!
*
Yu Huaichuan had known for a long time that he wasn't their biological son.
He probably realized it when he wanted to inherit both Bai Qiao and the family fortune.
Luckily for him, everyone in the Bai family was an idiot. He barely had to scheme at all before Bai Qiao obediently walked right into his trap.
What younger brother? He'd been his wife from the very beginning ^^.
*Single-couple romance, happy ending.
