[Why Has My Life Been So Poor?]
If you're an ordinary high school student, being a little broke is no big deal. After all, the future is bright.
But if you're a high school student who has transmigrated into a book, whose family has just gone bankrupt, and who owes the bank five million, then...
Life, you win.
As described above, that's Ye Yanxi's experience.
Ye Yanxi, a soon-to-graduate college student in the modern day, accidentally ended up in some inexplicable place.
A father who attempted suicide, a mother in the ICU, a brother who'd given up on life, and Ye Yanxi, broken beyond repair.
Ye Yanxi (closing his eyes: This is an illusion.)
When he opened his eyes again, he patted his older brother. "Could you please get your act together?"
His brother: "Once you're dead, we can bury you."
Ye Yanxi: "..."
He wasn't going to die.
So he worked while studying, and one day, while working and studying, a rich second-generation heir found him and said, "I want to call off the marriage my family arranged for me. Pretend to be my partner and come home with me. Use whatever means you can to make them give up on the marriage. When it's done, I'll pay you a million."
"You in?"
What an incredible deal. Ye Yanxi readily agreed. "Deal."
He went to his contract partner's home. The guy really was rich: even the house was covered in gold.
Ye Yanxi: I want to pry some off and sell it.
To ruin the marriage, Ye Yanxi dressed to impress and put on the smug face of someone who'd just gotten lucky.
At dinner, he really let them have it.
But from what Ye Yanxi could tell, the person who made the decisions in the family was... the handsome man at the head of the table.
So his barrage aimed at the whole family became a personal attack.
Gu Tinghe watched the pretty boyfriend his younger brother had brought home with an expressionless face.
His stagnant heart stirred ever so slightly.
He was guilty. He'd actually fallen for his younger brother's boyfriend.

Ye Yanxi had been living at the Gu residence for a few days.
One night, he sat in the garden, gazing at the moon.
As long as he looked, the person upstairs watched him.
He knew the other man was watching, but he didn't mind. Go ahead and watch. For a million, he'd do more than let someone look at him; he could even ask if they wanted to beat him up.
Ye Yanxi turned around and gave him a smile. "Good evening."
The hand gripping the railing tightened abruptly.

Another night.
Gu Tinghe held Ye Yanxi by the chin, his fingers brushing the other's vividly red lips after their kiss, his eyes full of possessive intent.
After steadying his breathing, Ye Yanxi frowned. "Are you crazy? I'm your younger brother's boyfriend."
Gu Tinghe's movements slowed, but he didn't let him go. "Has he ever done this to you?"
Ye Yanxi: "?"
Gu Tinghe leaned in and kissed him again.
His younger brother wouldn't fall for a man, so... this man could only be with him.
