After My Roommate’s Brother Played Me

Yun Xizhou falls in love at first sight with his roommate's older brother. Once they get together, Xiao Wenyun caters to his every whim and grants his every wish, except that he refuses to make their relationship public.

After a secret relationship that no one knew about, Yun Xizhou only learns when he is dumped that Xiao Wenyun has always loved someone else.

Xiao Wenyun likes the kind of person who shines in a crowd. Yun Xizhou, on the other hand, is quiet and rigid, introverted and composed despite his young age, nothing like the boyfriend Xiao Wenyun had in mind.

After the breakup, Yun Xizhou becomes a completely different person. He often spends hours in the art studio with a handsome guy with a slim waist and long legs, going to haunted houses, skydiving, and watching sports games together. During livestreams, one quietly paints while the other chats with fans. They use a couple photo as their profile picture and wear matching T-shirts they designed themselves.

So, in Xiao Wenyun's eyes, Yun Xizhou's ordinarily attractive face becomes impossible to look away from, haunting his thoughts day and night.

Xiao Wenyun comes to see him and asks, “Why didn't you let me see this side of you before?”

Yun Xizhou doesn't hold back. “Why don't you think about that yourself? When we're painting still lifes, we all know the side we see isn't the whole thing. If you want to see another side, you have to change your position. You don't even understand that? Has your brain not evolved yet?”

Blurb for “Married by Agreement to My Secret Crush, the Senior”:

Lu Zhi has had a crush on his senior Shen Linchuan since their first year of high school. After watching him have a passionate romance and then break up, Lu Zhi spends one night with him after drinking. Shen Linchuan proposes a marriage of convenience, and Lu Zhi immediately agrees.

Five years into their marriage, Lu Zhi and Shen Linchuan may not be inseparable, but at least they treat each other with respect. Lu Zhi thinks his crush has finally become reality, until Shen Linchuan's first love returns to the country.

His first love is fair-skinned, handsome, and long-legged, with a wonderful air about him and a successful career. He is even poached to work at Shen Linchuan's company. Knowing he can't compete, Lu Zhi leaves two copies of the divorce papers and packs up and walks away.

That night, Lu Zhi stays elsewhere. Shen Linchuan thinks he's throwing a tantrum.

The next day, Lu Zhi comes to collect his things, and Shen Linchuan assumes it's just a threat.

But from the third day onward, Lu Zhi gradually disappears from his life. Only then does Shen Linchuan realize that he is really about to lose his husband.

One month later.

Shen Linchuan: Come home now, and I'll pretend this past month never happened.

Lu Zhi: Busy loving someone else. Don't bother me.
