The Rising Star in Research Keeps Changing Careers

When An was young, he often helped his family with the accounts and was known as the fastest bookkeeper in the village. One day, while helping out at the fish market, he saw his kidnapped older brother: dressed in a suit and tie, with an arrogant expression.

Gang and his younger brother had once been close. Then a thick-browed man kidnapped him and raised him to become a business elite. One day, Gang went to the fish market to inspect the area and saw his younger brother from years ago, staring at him with confused, dark blue eyes.

An knew his brother loved steamed buns, so he opened a handmade steamed bun shop, dreaming that one day his brother would come by and buy some. The shop grew bigger and bigger, becoming a renowned bearer of traditional, intangible cultural heritage. But when An heard that minors weren’t allowed to work, he handed the shop over to someone he trusted to keep running it.

When An reached school age, he began compulsory education and threw himself into learning. He spoke English with a flawless British accent, but never once said the name “Horace.”

When An was fifteen, he entered T University and began pursuing research, simply because he’d heard that his brother’s research company was doing well. After graduating, An led the nation’s technological development at the age of twenty. His old fishing village became a major first-tier city, with a GDP that led the country and far surpassed that of the city where his brother lived.

When An was registering his household information again, the clerk asked, “May I have your full name?”

An stared at his brother’s name in an article in his hands and said softly, “Wang Shen, Shen as in Shenzhen.”

Wang as in Wang Jialong.

Wang Shen had a secret, one that no one but him knew.

He once had an older brother.

Pairing: Hong Kong x Shenzhen (modern AU), no switching or splitting the pairing.

Don’t nitpick the details! Don’t nitpick! Don’t take it seriously! It’s pure fantasy!

Don’t think Ah Shen is some all-conquering charmer. He’s simply a legend.

Hong Kong and Shenzhen aren’t biological brothers. They’re two orphans who relied on each other, with no blood relation.

Tsundere, stoic, rich Hong Kong x reserved, money-loving genius Shen
