Please read the content warnings in the blurb and first chapter. Thank you! When he was sixteen, Song Fuyun saved Shu Youyi's life. After narrowly escaping death, young master Shu welcomed homeless Song Fuyun into the Shu family's grand mansion as repayment for saving his life. Two people worlds apart lived under the same roof. Shu Youyi earnestly played the part of a rebellious, chuunibyou teenager from a wealthy family. One of Song Fuyun's duties was to keep the young master from slacking off and make him turn over a new leaf and study hard. Beyond their strictly businesslike relationship, they could barely stand one another. Then Shu Youyi fell ill and lay weak in bed. It seemed no one in the Shu family cared about their eldest young master. His father ignored him, and his stepmother paid him no attention. After Song Fuyun looked after him for two days, Shu Youyi croakily called him “Big Brother.” After that, the chuunibyou teenager stopped bristling at his new guardian. The person who used to ignore everyone now turned clingy with him, wanting to stick by his side twenty-four hours a day. * Perhaps because he had grown used to struggling to survive in the dirt, Song Fuyun was mature for his age and aloof. The thing he wanted least in life was to meddle in other people's business. But looking back, every bit of meddling he ever did had something to do with Shu Youyi. When they first met, Shu Youyi was targeted by someone and nearly got into trouble. Song Fuyun risked himself to pull him out of it, but never thought they would have anything to do with each other in the future. After all, Shu Youyi was destined to drift farther and farther away from him. Later, disaster struck the Shu family, and Shu Youyi was forced to leave with nowhere to go. Burying his face against Song Fuyun's chest, he asked softly, “Brother, do you still want me?” Without a word, Song Fuyun shouldered the responsibility of being his guardian again. He thought that he had never been destined to have a family, so having a younger brother by his side would be a good thing. He could give him a home, too. What he didn't know was that his adopted younger brother had long harbored forbidden feelings for him. * Song Fuyun had always regarded Shu Youyi as his real younger brother. He had never considered having feelings for him that went beyond family. When Shu Youyi crossed that line first, Song Fuyun initially found it utterly absurd. What kind of brothers could develop a relationship like that?! Shu Youyi kept moving closer, and Song Fuyun's attempts to avoid him were useless. They had been together for years, from awkward young boys to adults who could each stand on their own. How could Song Fuyun still claim their feelings were only familial or friendly? Time passed, carrying away all the beautiful things he had experienced and leaving only the person beside him. The boy of his youth was still by his side, just as before. From then on, even the years themselves felt gentle. In the end, he willingly fell in love, ready to share the splendor of the world and weather every storm with the person before him for the rest of his life. Because you are the everlasting beauty in my life. P.S. 1. They first appear in middle school, and they don't get together until they're adults. There will be some time skips in between. High school onward is the main part of the story. 2. Shu is the top and Song is the bottom. 1v1, happy ending. It's melodramatic and doesn't follow much logic, and the wealthy-family setting is over the top, so don't compare it to reality. The top grows over time. He's rebellious and chuunibyou at first, then transforms into a mature professional. The bottom is very mature and sees the top and his peers as kids early on (Young Song's disdain). 3. The bottom was kidnapped. The whole story upholds justice and the rule of law, supports punishing buyers and sellers equally, and has both the traffickers and the people who bought trafficked persons sent to prison. It strongly condemns human trafficking. 4. No need to wonder: their names are inspired by “a wanderer's thoughts among drifting clouds.” Come on, can't a person get a little poetic~ 5. The entrepreneurship and business war parts are entirely made up. Don't take them as reality! 6. Fake entrepreneurship and business wars. This silly author is practicing prose and pacing. Hope you enjoy the story (bows). Coming soon: Transmigrating to Ancient Times to Become a Litigator. Strong leads. A food-loving, money-making, anti-996 transmigrated bottom x a top with two secret identities who can't escape the irresistible law of “it actually tastes good.” Little lawyer Lin Han dies suddenly after working overtime late at night and unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of an impoverished, unsuccessful scholar from ancient times who shares his name. Faced with a house bare of everything and a life so poor he can't afford food, Lin Han promptly sells the Four Books and Five Classics, which he couldn't understand anyway, and returns to his old line of work as a litigator. However, from the local officials to the common people, everyone here has the word “poor” stamped on their forehead. Even the princely manor in town is so poor it rattles. Life is hard when he can only drool over the delicious pastries along the road. Worried about making ends meet, Lin “Foodie” Han discovers that a guard at the princely manor named Ye Pinglan is one in a million when it comes to being rich. Lin Han's eyes sparkle as he tries to cozy up to the big shot every day: “Brother, need a lawyer? Ten percent off for one case, twenty percent off for two, and a monthly package is an even better deal!” Ye Pinglan turns away coldly: “You're crazy.” * After failing to cozy up to him, Lin Han can only rely on his professional skills and hard work, competing with other lawyers for clients, traveling out of town to take cases on contingency, and outsmarting the local authorities. Two years later, he fulfills his ultimate dream from modern times: opening his own law firm. He names it “One Lawsuit Solves a Thousand Sorrows.” He opens branches outside the province, and he decides how many hours he works each day. He never has to suffer under 996 again. Recently, Lin Han accidentally crosses Jin Ge, a local big shot who controls the lifeline of the underground salt, iron, weapons, and grain trade. He operates in both the underworld and the legitimate world, has ruthless methods, and can make the whole city tremble with one roar. Even the local authorities dare not cross him. To stay alive, Lin Han knows when to bend. He treats Jin Ge with utmost respect, never going west if the big shot says east. He can argue circles around everyone in court, but in front of the big shot he behaves like a meek underling. Jin Ge: “A friend of mine has run into trouble. Help him with his lawsuit, and I'll pay.” Lin Han: “Your friend is my friend. No problem!” Jin Ge: “A friend of mine wants to join your law firm. I'll pay.” Lin Han: “Your friend is my friend. Let's all make money together!” Jin Ge: “A friend of mine is in his twenties and still doesn't have a wife. What do you think...” Lin Han: “Your friend is my friend... Wait, no! This is a law firm, not a matchmaking agency!” * Later, Lin Han finally discovers what Jin Ge's face looks like beneath his mask. Remembering how utterly terrified he had been around the big shot, he wants to close his eyes and ascend on the spot. Putting on an act, Lin Han says to Ye Pinglan, with whom he has just confirmed their relationship: “I heard that Jin Ge is a vicious brute who makes chairs out of human skulls, likes to slowly drain his victims' blood, and even cuts out and eats their hearts. He's absolutely deranged!” Ye Pinglan: “...Don't believe rumors or spread them.” Lin Han gives a cold laugh: “And how do you know they're rumors?” Ye Pinglan: “... (clutching my secret identity tightly)” Lin Han: “Stop clutching it! I've already ripped your secret identity off!” “Maybe this world really is a long, endless night. No matter how many people work for it or even sacrifice themselves, they cannot keep the world bright forever. But I can make sure that wherever I go, daylight breaks through the clouds and the long night finally ends. That is the professional integrity of us legal practitioners, a principle that endures through the ages.” Theme: Mass entrepreneurship and innovation.
