[The story is complete. The whole novel costs just two yuan, and this sweet little read is absolutely worth it! See below for my upcoming novels, muah~] Shen Xinghe was the youngest actor ever to win every major award in the entertainment industry. He stepped away from the spotlight and became a powerful investor with a big name in the business. At a drinking party, a young star who had offended the investors was drugged. Looking at the young man's handsome face, Shen Xinghe was momentarily distracted. At the crucial moment, he loosened his tie and said evenly, “I'll take him.” The young star, who had been ready to fight someone moments earlier, suddenly turned docile. Blushing, he looked at Shen Xinghe with shining eyes. “Thank you, Mr. Shen.” A young star signed with Shen Xinghe's company was someone everyone in the industry, whether familiar or not, had to treat with respect. He had no shortage of film, variety-show, and advertising opportunities. The young star was also capable, always making the most of every resource he received, and soon became a top-tier star. The only thing that gave Shen Xinghe headaches was how clingy his puppy could be. At certain times, the young man's energy was more than he could handle. “Big Brother, have you been tired from work lately?” “Big Brother, is my cooking better, or am I?” “Big Brother, how do I compare to your old flames?” Shen Xinghe coaxed him and indulged him, until the puppy discovered the secret he'd kept hidden. The puppy dropped his disguise, clamped down on Shen Xinghe, and refused to let go. “Big Brother, you're mine.” After top-tier star Shen Xinghe retired, his fans wept and wailed, famous directors lamented, and the media declared, “The entertainment industry has lost its brightest star.” Then one day, Shen Xinghe returned to the screen and starred in a film with rising top-tier star Lu Guangxun. The movie was a huge hit, breaking box-office records one after another. At his fans' request, Shen Xinghe held a livestream as a treat. Near the end of the stream, a tall figure flashed across the frame. The young man, shirtless and muscular, wrapped his arms around Shen Xinghe from behind and clung to him, asking for a kiss. “Big Brother, I've been waiting for you for ages...” That night, every platform's trending lists exploded.

Please add it to your reading list.] In the second semester of his sophomore year, an upperclassman from the music club came to Ji Su in tears, saying she'd been cheated out of both money and her virtue by a man she'd met online. Ji Su comforted her. Seeing his face, both innocent and alluring, she tearfully begged him to help her get revenge. Ji Su was confused. “Senior, I'm a guy.” The upperclassman ground her teeth. “That's exactly why! You have to show him that online dating can be dangerous, especially since you're bigger than he is!” Ji Su: ... To help her get revenge, Ji Su used an alternate account to add the scumbag on WeChat and wracked his brains every day for things to say. But he sent messages from good morning to good night, and the scumbag never replied. Then one day, Ji Su sent the scumbag a photo. In it, he wore loose shorts, showing off a long, shapely thigh. His skin was snowy white and soft-looking, with a little red mole on the tender flesh at the side. This time, the other person replied at once. “Are those your legs in the photo?” * Ji Su realized that the scumbag senior had a thing for legs. Every few days, he'd come up with an excuse to ask Ji Su for another photo. To keep his gender a secret, Ji Su could only buy a skirt online and obediently send the senior pictures of his legs. The senior's cold attitude changed completely. He started chatting with Ji Su first, bought him all kinds of pretty skirts, gave him tickets to the concert he'd been dying to see, and even sent him pictures of his own eight-pack and V-line... As the senior fell deeper and deeper, he finally suggested meeting in person, and Ji Su's revenge plan was almost complete. But Ji Su never expected the scumbag senior to be Gu Zhao, the famous campus heartthrob at A University: a cold, handsome law student who stood 192 centimeters tall and was rumored to hate gay people. Ji Su panicked and secretly blocked him on WeChat, terrified that the campus heartthrob would recognize him. But the very thing he feared came to pass. The two started running into each other constantly, and the campus heartthrob's gaze grew more and more inscrutable. Later, Gu Zhao sat him on his lap and personally dressed him in a high-slit qipao. He traced the red mole on Ji Su's thigh with a fingertip and asked in a suggestive, dangerous tone, “Baby, why don't you call me your husband anymore?” Ji Su: “Hubby, I'm sorry! Waaah...” Alluring beauty who tempts people without realizing it uke × cold, cunning campus heartthrob seme [Upcoming novel: Could You Stop Pretending?] In the second semester of his junior year of high school, Xia Xun transferred to Nanyang High with his stepmother, who had remarried. After school on his first day, Xia Xun walked past an alley with a lollipop in his mouth and saw a tall figure surrounded by a crowd. He was about to go over and watch when the boy punched one hoodlum to the ground, then kicked a blond-haired punk three meters away. The boy wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and turned around. Xia Xun's lollipop dropped right out of his mouth. Damn, wasn't that his supposedly top student of a stepbrother? * That evening, the two officially met at the villa. Xia Xun smiled without warmth. “Nice to meet you. You're certainly making a memorable first impression, Big Brother.” Lu An adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and returned a gentle, polite smile. “Don't worry, little brother. I'll take good care of you.” But after Xia Xun showered, he was pinned against the door the moment he stepped out. His top-ranked stepbrother lowered his lashes and said nonchalantly, “Since we're living under the same roof, let's stay out of each other's way.” Xia Xun lifted his chin. “And what if I don't?” Lu An's eyes darkened. “You're welcome to find out.” Xia Xun soon discovered that his stepbrother was a sanctimonious hypocrite. He secretly did everything from street fighting to drag racing, yet played the perfect big brother in front of their parents. Xia Xun naturally refused to back down and took every chance to trip him up. They acted like the perfect pair of brothers on the surface, but fought tooth and nail behind the scenes, setting off sparks every day. Until one day, someone made a very public confession to Xia Xun at school. Lu An frowned, coldly sent the suitor away, and dragged Xia Xun off. Xia Xun was furious and flustered. “Even if you were my real brother, you wouldn't get to decide who I date!” Lu An gritted his teeth. “If you're so desperate to date, then date me.” Xia Xun froze. “Are you crazy?” Lu An held him tightly against his chest, his voice restrained yet surging with emotion. “I went crazy the moment I met you...” Defiant, gorgeous, and haughty uke × refined, depraved seme who plays the long game Theme: As long as life goes on, keep striving.
