[Full text under revision. Updates will resume once it reaches 100,000 words] 1. Pei Meng came to Jiangcheng for university, planning to live with his older brother, Pei Ming. The moment he walked in, he was stunned by the woman coming down the stairs. She wore a cheongsam, her demeanor languid, and the bright red lipstick on her lips was slightly smudged, making her look utterly alluring. The woman glared at him. "What are you looking at?" He stood there, feeling a little dazed. "She's my brother's woman," Pei Meng warned himself. He refused to keep living at his brother's place and turned around to head back to campus. He had just finished making his bed when his roommate from the bunk above returned. He looked up and saw the same slender figure, the same upturned eyes, the same slightly pursed lips. Aside from the missing beauty mark beneath his eye and the fact that he was dressed in men's clothes, the boy before him was exactly like the woman he'd seen at his brother's home. "Hello, I'm Jiang Er." The boy's eyes curved as he smiled at him. Pei Meng froze for a moment. That familiar feeling of disorientation had returned. 2. Desperate for money, Jiang Er reached an agreement with Pei Ming. For the duration of the agreement, he had to wear women's clothes whenever they met, because Pei Ming didn't want anyone to discover his sexual orientation. Jiang Er hated Pei Ming and hated dressing as a woman, but bound by their agreement, he could only keep his feelings to himself and play two different roles. Until Pei Ming's younger brother appeared. Watching the other boy stare at him in a daze, Jiang Er laughed silently to himself. 3. On a night of torrential rain, the agreement expired. Pei Ming watched Jiang Er turn ice-cold as if he could change faces, then walk away without looking back. His heart felt as though it were being torn apart. He had always been high and mighty, but now he returned home like a drowned rat. Seeing his younger brother looking anxious and hesitant, he forced himself to sound casual. "Don't worry. We just broke up. It's no big deal." He thought his brother would comfort him. Instead, his brother raised his head and said to him with complete seriousness: "Bro, now that you've broken up, can I go after him?" Pei Ming: "..." ·Reader's Guide· 1. Jiang Er is the bottom, Pei Meng is the top. The top is a virgin; the bottom isn't. The top changes. 2. There are love rivals and a groveling ex, a reunion after heartbreak, and a meeting at the top. Overall, it's a soapy mix of sweetness, sourness, and satisfying romance. 3. I'm still writing whatever I feel like and practicing. If that's not your thing, feel free to stop here. 4. The premise has changed. If you don't like it, you can remove it from your collection. Theme: Sincerity always wins.
