A Collection of Honest Men Rising to the Top

I'll write two more installments before posting this~ (waves a handkerchief) 1. [Younger brother's wicked fiance x honest, insecure older brother] The older brother is the eldest son of a wealthy family, but he was frail and introverted from a young age, so the family spotlight always fell on his younger brother. His younger brother is outgoing and lively, and has a handsome fiance from a family of equal standing. He's practically living the dream! But the older brother has caught him meeting up with different men in secret more than once. After being scolded, the younger brother even yells at him for being too old-fashioned. At a family banquet, the younger brother brazenly fooling around with another man is spotted by his brother once again. Afraid the younger brother's fiance, who is also attending the banquet that night, might find out, the older brother covers for him. Unexpectedly, the fiance sets his sights on him instead. The younger brother's fiance eventually uses the younger brother's reputation and the family's good name to threaten the older brother into meeting him in secret, demanding compensation. "Since your younger brother has someone else, I shouldn't have to lose out either. How about this: you're his older brother, so you can take his place and fulfill your duties as my fiance." The older brother stammers timidly, "W-what... what duties?" As a young master who has been ignored for years, the older brother has no idea about these things. He can only agree to his future brother-in-law's demands, terrified that someone will discover their affair while trying his best to protect his family's reputation. 2. [Wicked domineering creditor x impoverished, teary-eyed young master] The young master's family goes bankrupt. A domineering CEO appears out of nowhere, buys the company, helps pay off the debts, and arranges for the young master's parents to work overseas. The young master is left behind to work as a houseboy and pay off the debt. At first, he thinks the CEO is his great benefactor, but it turns out the man has no morals! Despite having a fiancee, he is always putting his hands on the houseboy. The slow-witted houseboy realizes he is being sexually harassed and decides to go abroad to find his parents. But his parents tell him, "For the sake of our family, just put up with it. You're both men. It's not like he's going to eat you." The houseboy has no choice but to swallow his anger and stay at the CEO's house, continuing to serve him. Later, the fiancee from the rumors comes over and orders the houseboy around, demanding that he wait on her. After he's done, the houseboy hides in his room and cries in secret. When the CEO finds him, he sends the fiancee away, then comes back and says, "Look, I've offended my future in-laws for your sake. How are you going to make it up to me?" Knowing that the CEO is always putting his hands on him, the houseboy decides he'll just cooperate from now on. He meekly accepts that the CEO can come into his room without knocking... 3. [Lusting-after-him boss x impotent husband] An average, easygoing man is the envy of others because he has a beautiful, fair-skinned husband. But when no one is around, he is deeply insecure and guilt-ridden, because he became impotent at a young age. So every time his husband cheats, he pretends not to know, afraid that his husband will divorce him. He meekly puts up with it for years. Until one day, he receives a video of his husband cheating from his husband's boss, along with a message: [You don't want everyone finding out about this, do you?] 4. [Extreme illegitimate son from a wealthy family x honest country boy] 5. [The true young master who has returned reborn x the diligent butler's son] 6. [More to come later~] Reader's guide (warnings): 1. All the installments share the same world, but have similar tropes and character types. It's basically the same scenario with different people. 2. [Emphasis] All the bottoms are honest and compliant (including, but not limited to, insecure, aggrieved, and spineless); all the tops are incredibly beautiful, though their moral compasses are questionable. 3. A self-indulgent story written for my own enjoyment, with no restraints. 4. The installments might not be written in the order listed. It depends on how things go. 5. If you want to curse someone, curse me! I'm the one who insisted on writing it this way! Theme: Do a good deed every day
