A Paragon of Refinement

Lin Wan and Fu Zi were raised in the Xu household from childhood. The Xu family had three brothers.

Lin Wan loved the third brother. The second and third brothers were bewitched by Fu Zi. But Fu Zi secretly loved the future head of the Xu family, the family's golden boy: the eldest brother, whose composure and self-discipline were almost frightening.

Relying on her status as the granddaughter of the person who saved the Xu family's life, Lin Wan let jealousy get the better of her and behaved so badly that everyone found her annoying.

Fu Zi drugged the eldest brother. Though he had extraordinary self-control, he spent the whole night locked in a room with Fu Zi without touching her. In the end, Lin Wan was blamed for it.

Lin Wan was thrown out of the Xu household. She died in a daze, then was reborn.

She decided that from then on, she would stay away from the three Xu brothers and keep her distance from all of them.

But then Lin Wan realized that someone had begun treating her with a little more warmth.

Lin Wan tried to stop Fu Zi from drugging the eldest brother, but ended up locked in a room with him herself.

Lin Wan thought the eldest brother had incredible self-control and wouldn't touch her, so all she had to do was wait it out.

But then...

The man sat up in bed. After a long while, he looked at her, removed his tie, and set it aside with practiced elegance. Then he came over, his burning breath scorching her earlobe as he said, "Xiao Wan."

Lin Wan: "? ..." Wasn't he supposed to have incredible self-control? Big Brother, this isn't how it was supposed to go.

Only later did Lin Wan discover that the eldest brother was a truly distinguished gentleman in public, but...

The cool, alluring eldest brother, a paragon of restraint who makes the first move x the heroine, soft and timid in front of him

Author's notes:

This is a gritty, realistic Hong Kong-style story (or at least the vibe; the setting is pretty loose).

Don't overthink the details. It's all made up to serve the romance. Feel free to point out any issues (only professional details I don't know, incorrect symbols, and typos I made unintentionally. If it's a plot issue, I probably just missed a bug, so feel free to mention those too.)

I don't consider myself an author, just someone expressing what she likes.

The heroine and Fu Zi have no legal family ties to the Xu family.

I've saved the first chapter of my next story, After Dumping the Demonic Prodigy, I Turned to My Senior Brother. Lots of tension!

Luo Fengya has a secret: she discovered that the senior brother of Shenyu Sect, a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius, secretly likes her!

Wow, damn! What a bombshell.

Unfortunately, she has a mission to complete first: win over the future young lord of the demon clan, who is currently a prodigy of the Daoist sect just like her.

Sigh, she's so upset. She can't rush into her senior brother's arms just yet, and she has to make him sad.

Just look at how restrained and composed her senior brother's gaze is whenever she catches him looking at her in secret.

Luo Fengya sheds a tear T﹏T

She wins over the prodigy of the demonic sect and marries him. Then she kicks him to the curb, leaving him utterly miserable and devastated, until he breaks through and becomes the young lord of the demon clan.

On the eve of her wedding, her senior brother travels thousands of miles to reach Shaofeng.

At night, he asks her, "Junior Sister, are you really going to marry him? If you're in any trouble, I'll take care of it for you..."

He's taking a huge risk by saying this. If she accepts, he'll have to face condemnation from the entire righteous path.

But Luo Fengya refuses on the surface while crying inside. Oh my god, she wants to comfort her senior brother. Her senior brother...

Her mission succeeds, and she dumps the young lord of the demons.

The young lord hates her to the bone. He wants nothing more than to devour her flesh and drink her blood.

Luo Fengya immediately throws herself into her senior brother's arms. Inside, she cries, "Yay! I can finally run into my senior brother's arms!"

Her senior brother says to her below the mountain, "From now on, I'll protect you." Luo Fengya can feel his hand trembling faintly, as joy at getting her back mingles with worry.

Luo Fengya wraps her arms around his neck, already wondering what she can do with her senior brother. But after she tests the waters a few times, she discovers that he's even more experienced than she is...?

The senior brother's version:

He can't keep holding back. If he does, his junior sister will almost be gone.

Watch the three of them struggle with their feelings. The male lead has a new setting.

Second blurb:

There's a person wearing a mask. Whenever Fengya runs into him, he gets close to her: ... In the bamboo grove, he silently approaches her from behind; at a gathering, he embraces her the moment he sees her; he charms her, covers her eyes, and tries to... Just as he slips his tongue past her lips, he feeds her a piece of candy...

The key is that Fengya doesn't know who he is.

After she gets together with the senior brother, they... After several encounters, one day, the senior brother feeds Fengya a piece of candy.

Luo Fengya: ... :) ?

P.S. For a large part of the beginning, the heroine and male lead can't be together, and the second male lead is also part of the love triangle. There's also another male lead who's... different (not a split personality).
