[Main story complete] [Recommended novel by a friend: *After the Scapegoat and His Secretly Married Childhood Friend Join a Dating Show*, by Beizhuo] ① Because of work, Yu's mother wants to leave baby Yu Lan with a friend for a while. Her friend is delighted to help. The only concern is her son, Bo Jingshi. Not long ago, Bo Jingshi was diagnosed with suspected high-functioning autism. Cold and withdrawn since childhood, he refuses to make friends or communicate, and is considered a potentially dangerous child. When crying comes from the nursery, they find Bo Jingshi standing cold-faced beside the crib. Just as they think he's going to hurt baby Yu Lan, he reaches out and takes the robot off the cabinet. Only then does baby Yu Lan stop crying. He gazes at Bo Jingshi curiously, his eyes still wet. For the first time, Bo Jingshi speaks to someone: “Can I hold him?” ② Little Yu Lan is in poor health and cries through the night after being separated from his mother. Everyone thinks Bo Jingshi will get annoyed with him, but when faced with the aggrieved, wailing baby, the icy-faced little cool guy looks terribly anxious. He learns to mix formula and change diapers, and even takes the initiative to soothe the baby. Only then does the Bo family realize they've found Bo Jingshi a little emperor to spoil. Later, he sticks by Yu Lan all the time. If he can carry him, he won't let Yu Lan walk. Later still, everyone knows Bo Jingshi has a little emperor. One he raised from childhood. Yu Lan's perspective (as an adult): ① As far back as he can remember, Yu Lan has had a neighbor older brother, Bo Jingshi. Bo Jingshi is cold-faced with everyone else, but does whatever Yu Lan asks. Yu Lan has been sickly since childhood, and Bo Jingshi always gives him anything nice he has. If Bo Jingshi has 100 yuan, he'll spend 96 of it on Yu Lan, then use the remaining 4 yuan for their bus ride home. ② He always thought they were best buddies and would stay brothers for life. Until one day, he realized Bo Jingshi was being a little too good to him. The way he coddles Yu Lan has no limits. He agrees to any unreasonable request. Yu Lan thinks Bo Jingshi must have some ulterior motive, like wanting to borrow money. When Yu Lan confronts him, Bo Jingshi calmly helps him put on his socks and asks, “You figured out that I like you?” Yu Lan is horrified: “??!” But I'm straight! ③ Yu Lan thinks Bo Jingshi has simply mistaken his feelings and doesn't really like him. There are only a few surefire ways to make someone lose interest: One: Throw tantrums and make a scene. Two: Be too clingy and give him no space. Three: Ask to borrow money. Yu Lan tries them all. He expects Bo Jingshi to get fed up and give up, but instead Bo Jingshi enjoys every minute of it, hands over all his savings, and indulges Yu Lan without limit. Later, Yu Lan realizes being spoiled rotten feels amazing. #Maybe I'm not straight after all!# *Clingy, affectionate brat × cool guy who's a devoted wife slave; *Childhood friends and everyday life / raising a kid in the early story / romance only after they grow up *Upcoming novel ①: *The Dark Moonlight Awakens* [Beauty-tames-the-dogs story] [Beautiful, aloof social butterfly shou × a pack of mad dogs] After his mother marries into a wealthy family, Yu Wei finally escapes poverty and enters high society. In the car, he watches the glittering city at night through the window. But a voice in his mind tells him he's the protagonist of an old-school, angsty Mary Sue novel. Next, he'll be sent to an elite academy full of powerful families. After he saves an ordinary student from bullying, he will attract the attention of the story's main characters. Every one of them is a top-tier rich kid, born into a corporate dynasty and idolized by everyone, at the top of the academy's food chain. A series of misunderstandings and melodramatic twists will make Yu Wei the whole school's public enemy. The rich kids will take turns abusing him in body and spirit, until he becomes their tragic, doomed first love. The car pulls into a rich neighborhood where every inch of land is worth a fortune. The story officially begins. What awaits Yu Wei The cutthroat world of high society and malice lurking everywhere. A hot-tempered, sharp-tongued stepbrother, a cold and abstinent stepbrother... An elite academy ruled by a strict hierarchy, where bullying is commonplace. A vicious, show-off school bully, a student council president who's not what he seems, a seemingly sweet but secretly cruel senior... Yu Wei tries to avoid the plot and become invisible. Reality refuses to cooperate. He keeps landing in one tense confrontation after another, and those people are looking at him in increasingly strange ways. Because all of this has been planned for him in advance. * The whole school thinks Yu Wei will buckle under the pressure and drop out sooner or later. Then they suddenly realize he's changed. Yu Wei no longer hides his sharp edges. He moves effortlessly through the world of wealth and power, skillfully navigating between different people. His courteous smile beneath the crystal chandeliers, striking looks, and ease in conversation make him the most talked-about topic on the school forum, always at the top of the rankings. Yu Wei hasn't missed the secret photos, the stalking, or the prying eyes that seem to be everywhere. Ignoring the subtle red light blinking in the shadows, he takes off his school uniform and turns his back, revealing a flawless back. A strange scene unfolds at the academy. The few people at the top of the food chain suddenly grow close to Yu Wei. Though they'd always stayed out of one another's way, there's always a subtle tension between them now. Until one day, a violent knocking comes from outside a private lounge. The door opens from within, and Yu Wei calmly steps out. Apart from his flushed cheeks and slightly labored breathing, his clothes are intact and nothing else seems amiss. Someone takes off a jacket and tries to drape it over Yu Wei. The next second, he meets a pair of cold, warning eyes. “Don't touch him.” Inside the lounge, the school's vicious, doglike bully lounges on the sofa, looking thoroughly satisfied. Noticing the stares and spying from outside, he turns his head provocatively, revealing a vivid, scarlet bite mark on his neck. The fragile balance maintained by the elite academy is finally broken. * Fortunately, Yu Wei was born with a pretty face. He saw the world's cruelty firsthand in the slums, and beauty is just a tool he uses to get what he wants. If he can't escape his fate, he'll go along with it. He'll make this pack of scum kneel at his feet and use them as stepping stones to climb higher. *Beautiful, aloof social butterfly shou × gong Upcoming novel ②: *Chronic Dependence* ① Yu Wei has an angelic face and loves to flirt, but he loses interest as quickly as he falls for someone. The novelty wears off fast. At the freshman welcome event, a handsome, aloof junior captures countless hearts. Including Yu Wei's. Yu Wei puts on a sweet, innocent mask and fusses over the junior every day. Only to get one reply: “I'm straight.” What a coincidence. Every one of his ex-boyfriends used to be “straight.” ② This is the most impossible straight guy Yu Wei has ever tried to win over. The more he gets rejected, the harder he pursues him. Every day, he pretends to be innocent and confesses his genuine feelings, but the progress bar stays at zero. Feeling more frustrated than ever, he goes to a bar and drinks himself into a stupor. As he sways drunkenly, someone puts a hand on his shoulder. The next second, he's pulled into another person's arms. A cold warning sounds above his head: “Don't touch him.” ③ Once they're together, Yu Wei fully reveals his spoiled, troublesome nature. He's nothing like the little angel he pretends to be in public. He's unreasonable, dramatic, and quick to anger. The aloof beauty doesn't get mad. Instead, he soothes Yu Wei in a low voice. After a while, Yu Wei loses interest and breaks up with him over text. That night at the bar, Yu Wei is enjoying his drinks when someone suddenly snatches away his glass. He turns and meets a pair of dark, brooding eyes. “It's late. We should go home.” ④ Yu Wei's game has blown up in his face. He's been locked up. Desperate to get out, he makes promise after promise while planning his escape. “I only said that because I lost a game of truth or dare.” “I love you more than anything. Why would I break up with you?” “Darling, we'll be together forever...” The next day. Taking advantage of his boyfriend letting his guard down, Yu Wei steals the villa key and makes a hurried escape. Before he can even reach the doorknob, he's caught and dragged back. His wrists are bound with a tie. His boyfriend looks down at his panicked, helpless face without a change in expression. “Still being disobedient.” Then I'll just keep you locked up. :) At night, his face streaked with tears, he lies motionless in his boyfriend's arms like a broken doll. He can't even go to the bathroom without his boyfriend's help. Yu Wei regrets it bitterly. He should never have tempted him. He thought he was a lovesick puppy, but when pushed too far, he turns into a ravenous wolf that won't let go once it sinks its teeth in. *Flirtatious, seductive, heartless beauty shou × aloof, straight-acting gong who falls hard early on and turns dark later Theme: Long for happiness and pursue freedom.
