The Fake Older Brother

[Older love interest, faux step-siblings]

Wen Zhiyan is the youngest son of a wealthy family, raised in luxury from birth. His parents married for the sake of their families and had two sons: him and his older brother, Wen Jinghong.

Ever since Wen Zhiyan could remember, his parents had always been busy, and his brother was the one who raised him.

He depended on, trusted, and admired his brother with all his heart.

Then, while studying abroad in college, he stumbled across a paternity test report in his brother's study.

It showed that he wasn't biologically related to his parents. He was merely the child who had been switched at birth.

His biological parents had secretly brought their real son home and raised him while Wen Zhiyan was abroad.

Wen Zhiyan was spoiled and useless, a willful boy who had never learned to do anything but cause trouble and whine. The real son, by contrast, was diligent, hardworking, smart, and capable. It went without saying whom his cold, calculating, self-interested parents would choose.

The moment Wen Zhiyan saw the report, he felt cold all over. He knew how heartless his parents were. Once he was an adult, they would surely tell him the truth, and from then on, he would have no claim to anything the family owned. Maybe they would take pity on him and give him some money, but it wouldn't be nearly enough to support his extravagant lifestyle.

He was so used to luxury that he couldn't imagine life outside the family home. He couldn't imagine a life without his brother, either.

Just as he was at a loss for what to do, he soon found something else in the drawer.

Countless photos of him taken in secret, along with footage from the cameras at home. He hadn't even known that some rooms had surveillance cameras.

The only person who could have gotten those photos was Wen Jinghong, his brother who wasn't related to him by blood.

Wen Zhiyan was already seventeen. He understood everything: his fake older brother had feelings for him that couldn't be spoken aloud.

He didn't want to leave the family, his brother, or the life of luxury behind and live in poverty.

To stay, Wen Zhiyan decided to seduce his fake older brother.

As he stood before the desk, struggling with himself, he failed to notice the familiar gaze fixed on him through the barely open door, quietly guiding him to discover it all.

Character descriptions:

Bottom: A spoiled fake young master, a little scheming but not much. He thinks he's seducing his older brother in a wicked way, but he's already fallen into his brother's trap.

Top: Extremely possessive of the bottom, a devoted younger-brother fanatic, a scheming older man who can't live without his little brother.

The best hunters always appear as prey.

I haven't decided on the age gap yet, but it probably won't be too big, maybe just a few years. I'm really craving this kind of story: the bottom thinks he's being wicked, but the top is even worse.
