Scheming, powerful actor seme × clear-headed yet deeply devoted “mute” uke
Jiang Anyu had been raised by Pei Yingsheng since he was a teenager, and he'd given his whole heart to him.
Pei Yingsheng would deliberately leave him waiting for ten days or even half a month without seeing him, and he would obediently wait at home.
Pei Yingsheng would trend online with another man, and he would only sneak off to wipe away his tears, then greet him sweetly as “Uncle Pei” the next time they met.
When Pei Yingsheng's first love returned from abroad, he watched that impressive man with red-rimmed eyes, yet stubbornly refused to let go of Uncle Pei's hand.
Even Pei Yingsheng's closest friends thought Jiang Anyu was unbelievably well-behaved. If Pei Yingsheng kept treating him this way, sooner or later the boy would be gone for good.
Pei Yingsheng didn't care. A canary raised in a cage couldn't survive once it left home.
No one expected his friend's words to come true.
The day Jiang Anyu vanished from Pei Yingsheng's world, Pei Yingsheng casually joked with his friend, “He'll be back within a month.”
One month passed, and there was no sign of him.
Two months passed, still nothing.
Half a year passed, and still nothing. Pei Yingsheng couldn't sit still anymore!!
“Pei, is that little mute of yours still running away from home?”
Pei Yingsheng narrowed his eyes. Running away was putting it mildly. The little brat had vanished without a trace!
Pei Yingsheng: Even if I have to crawl, I'll crawl out of this crematorium!
1. The couple are exclusive to each other. Happy ending.
2. There's a ten-year age gap between the seme and uke. The uke has aphasia, but isn't truly mute. The seme is calculating and vengeful.
3. Umm… it should be pretty angsty and over-the-top.

Surviving by Playing Dumb After My Brooding Brother Sets His Sights on Me
[Soft and slow-witted uke × Polite but sinister seme]
Xiang Luan, an obscure nobody in the entertainment industry, is the adopted son of the Huo family. For over a decade, he and his adoptive older brother, Huo Chong, have always kept each other at arm's length, maintaining clear boundaries.
Then one day, Xiang Luan unexpectedly dreamed that Huo Chong's first love, Xia Pei, had returned.
Xia Pei was ruthless and had admired Huo Chong since childhood. He'd come back to the country to eliminate the last man by Huo Chong's side: Xiang Luan.
Xiang Luan jolted awake from his nightmare in the middle of the night. Maybe I should at least try to fight back?
To get away from Huo Chong, he used work on a film as an excuse to move out of the Huo home. Before leaving, he even wrote an earnest, eight-hundred-word letter wishing his older brother a happy marriage.
“I'm not here to come between you. I'm here to join you…”
“Xiao Luan is focused on his career and has no time for romance. I hope Second Brother and Sister-in-law won't hold anything against me…”
And so on.
But things only grew stranger.
Huo Chong, usually so restrained and self-controlled, began running into him with increasing frequency. Then one night, as rain poured down, he quietly moved into Xiang Luan's rental apartment.
“Second Brother, there's only one bed. There's no room for both of us.” Xiang Luan gripped the corner of the quilt tightly, his refusal unmistakable.
The man's eyes darkened slightly. He leaned in and lifted one corner of the covers. “It's fine. Second Brother will hold Xiao Luan while we sleep.”
The day Huo Chong realized Xiang Luan didn't seem to mind physical contact with men, cigarette butts littered Huo Chong's room, while the man lurking in the dark remained clear-eyed and cold.
He preferred having the lamb walk straight into the tiger's den to waiting patiently for it to come by.
Basically, it's the sordid antics of an obsessive big shot who devours an innocent, straight young man whole~~
[Content warning] Not a traditional entertainment-industry story
[Notes]
1. The uke was only adopted by the seme. They aren't on the same household register. This story respects love, family bonds, and friendship!
2. Huo Chong and Xia Pei have never dated. Xiang Luan isn't a homewrecker, just an adorable little brother with impeccable morals!
Theme: Self-discipline is freedom. Hard work leads to success.
