My Uncle Is Refined, Handsome, and Irresistible

It all started a hundred days before the college entrance exams, when Gu Ke received a message on WeChat.

His dad had decided to kick him out, telling him to take his two suitcases and get lost to his uncle's place.

He'd assumed his uncle, a rare presence in the family group chat and a nationally acclaimed talent who seemed perpetually weighed down by sorrow, aloof and proud, would spend every day sitting him down for heart-to-heart talks, urging him to turn over a new leaf and come back from the brink.

East Street's brawling champ, Gu the Street Boss, thought: “Like hell I'm going!”

And then he ate his words. That very night, he climbed over the wall into his uncle's backyard and got caught red-handed.

To his surprise, his uncle wasn't much like him at all.

Young and handsome, as cool and elegant as a painting.

He even stayed up late with Gu Ke playing games, watching movies, getting into fights, and eating at street stalls, all things the older generation couldn't abide.

He even helped him put his snobbish teacher in his place and shake down the punks causing trouble on East Street.

He was downright incorrigible.

The seventeen-year-old, whose first stirrings of love had landed on his own uncle, thought: I'm done for. I think I've fallen for my uncle! Aaaaaah!

When the college entrance exams were over, they parted, each going their separate way.

When his uncle, Shi Qiong, returned from America, Gu Ke was there to meet him.

Still carrying four years of bone-deep longing and passionate love, Gu Ke advanced on him one step at a time.

--- A young man, fresh out of military academy, strikingly handsome and tall.

Amid the bustle of the night market, he said softly, “You can dislike every line in that letter, except this one.”

The twenty-two-year-old man was no longer innocent. He was ready to make trouble.

How do you win over a cool, older love interest? First coax him, then trick him, then force him. A thousand-layered scheme is the way to the heart.

[Quick to throw punches, not too bright, and determined to read more books: Gu the Street Boss & His uncle, who is cool and detached, never plays by the rules, and can't manage on his own]

Content notes

1. They have mutual crushes and save each other.

2. This is not incest. They are not blood-related, and several generations separate them.

3. The story alternates between their youth and the present day. I'll let you know when the timeline switches, so don't worry, my dears!

4. They do spend a few years apart, but there are no angsty plot points. The later part is basically nonstop sweetness, the tooth-aching kind!

5. Key feature: younger man/older man. If that's your thing, come on in!

One-on-one romance, both are each other's first and only love, and they only have eyes for each other.

Sweet, flirty, doting. Come on, get in the bowl!
