All the Alphas Are Good Boys

My new novel, A Collection of Beautiful Widowers Remarrying, is now underway. Please add it to your reading list.

Lin Wanqiao is a young master from a wealthy family, a proud and selfish beta. Relying on his good looks and the protection of his heir brother, Lin Siyou, he does whatever he wants in the entertainment industry, becoming notorious as he rises to fame.

What he never expected was that he was actually a fake young master who had been switched at birth. The real young master was Xiao Ye, an honor student at the same school.

Now that there was no blood tie binding them together, Lin Wanqiao, already accustomed to life among the wealthy, had no choice but to lower his head. He acted sweet and docile toward the brother who doted on him, sobbing as he humbly tugged at his brother's sleeve.

"Brother, you won't abandon me, will you? If even you won't help me, Qiao Qiao will be bullied by them."

He also didn't dare anger the real young master, Xiao Ye. Afraid Xiao Ye might throw him out of the house if he was in a bad mood, Lin Wanqiao could only pretend to be an innocent little flower.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Ye. I took your home from you, but I'm innocent too. If I'd known the truth, I would definitely have given it back to you."

But once he turned away, Lin Wanqiao's eyes filled with scorn, and a mocking smile crept onto his face.

All this humiliation was for the sake of rising above his station one day and living free of anyone's control.

*

But what he didn't expect was this:

His usually gentle brother, Lin Siyou, who always indulged his every request, pulled him into his arms and blocked his escape.

"Qiao Qiao, you're no longer part of the Lin family. If you want your brother to help you... you'll have to show me something in return."

The seemingly mild-mannered real young master Xiao Ye locked the studio's workroom and slowly approached with a wicked smile, his words laced with meaning.

"Naughty children... get kicked out of the house, you know."

Reader's guide:

1. A wicked, foolish beauty fake young master bottom (Lin Wanqiao) x a gentle but scheming wealthy-family elder brother top (Lin Siyou)

2. The top and bottom are not blood-related, and the bottom is not blood-related to the second male lead, Xiao Ye.

3. The bottom's secondary gender manifested late. He's not actually a beta, but an omega.

4. A melodramatic, sweet story. Neither the top nor the bottom is a good person in the strict sense.

5. The bottom and the second male lead will probably kiss and engage in temporary marking (biting the back of the neck). There will be no intimate scenes with the third male lead.

Please add my upcoming novel, A Collection of Beautiful Widowers Remarrying, to your reading list.

Reader's guide:

1. Each story is independent, with different tops and bottoms. The collection may also gain or lose stories.

2. This is a collection of clichéd stories inspired by the author's tastes. They're truly clichéd and tacky, and may hit your squicks at any time, so read with caution.

3. The bottoms may not all be virgins, since they're widowers. Some stories include pregnancy and childbirth.

Theme: Keep striving even when faced with adversity
