They Came After Me Once I Ran Away as the Substitute!

Shen Leyu lives in a novel where everyone is vying for the same heartthrob. But he isn't the protagonist. The protagonist is his younger half-brother. While his brother is overseas recuperating, Shen Leyu suddenly becomes the center of attention. No. 1: An older, domineering CEO with disabled legs and a strong controlling streak, who wants to sign an engagement agreement with him. They have to pretend to be in love in public, using Shen Leyu as a shield to draw fire and clear every obstacle for his beloved younger brother's return, because he can't bear to see the younger man get hurt even a little. No. 2: A scheming upperclassman with an indescribable kink. He won't reveal a hint of it in front of Shen Leyu's irresistible younger brother, but he tries to buy Shen Leyu's obedience with money. No. 3: A younger high school boy who never gives Shen Leyu a second glance, yet wants to use him as a tool for revenge. He treats him with utter contempt, corners him in the greenhouse, and asks if he wants to have an affair with him. His stepfather pretends to care about him, while hoping to squeeze every last bit of value out of him. His mother only cares about his frail younger brother and repeatedly makes Shen Leyu give in for the sake of outsiders. Shen Leyu thinks, Fine. Pay me, and I'll play along! Once Shen Leyu has earned enough money and repaid the debts of birth and upbringing, his irresistible younger brother returns from overseas. Shen Leyu immediately disappears without a trace, cuts ties with everyone, and runs as far away as he can. But after Shen Leyu runs away, all three love interests come after him. The younger high school boy blocks his way. "I've fallen for you." The scheming upperclassman's eyes are red. "You were my childhood sweetheart." Even his fiance finds him, looking utterly worn out, and begs hoarsely, "Yuyu, my legs can get better. Can you give me another chance?" Shen Leyu stares in bewilderment. "...W-what is going on?!" ■ The love interest is the fiance. There are no misunderstandings or stand-ins, and it is the first love for both of them. ■ The other two use Shen Leyu as a stand-in for reasons unrelated to his appearance. Yuyu is one of a kind. ●●●●●● Theme: Hold on to yourself, live optimistically, and keep striving.
