Real young master, fake poor boy seme x fake young master, real princess (sickly) uke
The real and fake young masters end up together
Chu Yunshu had been spoiled rotten by his parents since childhood. Even in high school, he still had the temper of a young master (or young lady), a textbook case of prince syndrome. He was the real Princess and the Pea, able to feel a pea through twelve layers of bedding.
Before starting high school, he got into a fight with his parents because they hadn't celebrated his birthday with him. In a fit of pique, he insisted on boarding at school. As it happened, one of his dormmates was Qin Fei, a transfer student he found impossible to stand.
Qin Fei was over 185 centimeters tall, hitting the first sore spot for Young Master Chu, who could never quite reach 180 no matter how hard he tried.
Qin Fei's grades were far better than his, leaving Chu Yunshu, who was used to coming in first, feeling powerless.
Qin Fei was also so mature and dependable, and so well-liked, that Chu Yunshu seemed like an immature little kid next to him. The campus belle pursuing Qin Fei even described Chu Yunshu as “a cute little brother”!
How dare you! You're pursuing Qin Fei while calling me a little brother!
All of this wounded Chu Yunshu's masculine pride. He could get along with anyone, but in front of Qin Fei, he was always like a little fighting cock.
Then an accident happened, as if heaven had played a cruel joke on Chu Yunshu.
It turned out that he wasn't supposed to be the beloved young master of the wealthy Chu family. Qin Fei was.
It turned out that Qin Fei wasn't supposed to be the impoverished student whose parents had died when he was young. Chu Yunshu was.
Chu Yunshu wanted to leave. He thought he ought to give Qin Fei back everything he had enjoyed and return to the life he had originally been meant to live.
But what did he see instead?
Qin Fei, who had made him feel so inferior, had become a pitiful outcast in the Chu family, quietly enduring the snobbish relatives' exclusion whenever his parents weren't around?
Chu Yunshu was furious. With his spoiled young-lady temper, there was no way he would sit by and let this happen. He charged in and gave his cousins a thorough dressing-down.
The Chu family relatives: “Young miss, please hear us out... We weren't doing anything...!!!”
But before they could finish, Qin Fei, whom they had bullied until he could barely speak up for himself, lowered his eyes and looked utterly dejected and helpless as he tugged at Chu Yunshu's sleeve.
“Yunshu, can you come back? I didn't grow up in the Chu family. Without you here, I never feel secure...”
Notes:
1. The boys were switched by accident. The uke's biological parents never find out that the babies were switched, and they love the seme dearly throughout their lives.
2. The boys won't switch surnames. The seme refuses to change his, and if the uke changes his, then there'll be one fewer person named Chu.
3. They officially get together only after starting university.
4. The uke is naive, adorable, confident, and beautiful, and everyone dotes on him. Don't read this if that's not your thing.
