After his family goes bankrupt, Su Qi is forced to live with Chu You, his godmother's son.
On the way over, he complains to an online friend he's been bickering with for years: The guy's definitely no good.
The day they meet, Chu You gives him a faintly amused smile and says he's a good person who'll make sure Su Qi studies hard and keeps improving every day.
At the meaningful look on Chu You's face, Su Qi feels a chill run down his back.
From then on, Chu You carries him all the way, pulling every trick in the book and making full use of the information gap between his identities as Su Qi's online friend and godbrother. He tricks Su Qi into taking the blame, showing no mercy and leaving no dirty trick unused. With his own hands, he teaches Su Qi just how wicked people can be and how colorful life is.
Then one day, his online identity is exposed.
Worse than getting exposed is that he doesn't even realize it.
Worse than that is that under Chu You's tutelage, Su Qi has already evolved from a naive sweetheart into a scheming black lotus.
*
Su Qi tells his online friend about his troubles: "I think my brotherly feelings for Chu You are starting to change."
"We should keep the kind of distance men are supposed to have between them."
The online friend on the other end, Chu You, gives a mocking snort. "You just like me, don't you? Why are you being so coy? Who are you trying to fool? Be bold. When the exams are over, slap your report card in my face and openly take me by force, pursuing me relentlessly. You think I could possibly say no?"
Su Qi: "You?"
Some-You, the online friend: "Ahem. I mean, he."
Su Qi: "Really?"
"Yeah."
Chu You confidently makes a big promise: "I'm an expert at this. I'll teach you how to win him over."
Su Qi types back without expression: "Okay. I'll do whatever you say."
They're adults now, they're adults now.
Also, here's a new upcoming story: Dating on a Divorce Reality Show
(Scheduled to start in mid-November. The title and blurb may change when it begins.)
Zhu Ye gong, Yu Chi shou. Devoted puppy gong.
1.
Zhu Ye finally married his dream lover, Yu Chi. They have been married for three years and together for five.
For all five years, he's risen early and worked late, diligently doing the laundry and cooking, never letting Yu Chi lift a finger around the house.
Everyone praises him as the perfect husband and jokes that he deserves to have a wife. Even a stone would have warmed up by now.
Only Zhu Ye knows the truth: he's just a lovesick puppy, always eager to throw himself at Yu Chi, with no bottom line when it comes to love.
After five years of trying so hard, he just can't keep it up anymore.
He decides to divorce Yu Chi.
Afraid Yu Chi won't agree, he writes a seven-thousand-word essay lambasting him for being heartless and selfish, caring only about his career and not his family.
Yu Chi: Received.
Zhu Ye: ...
Zhu Ye completely loses it and stays up all night writing another ten-thousand-word essay.
2.
The night they decide to divorce, a divorce mediation reality show comes knocking.
The money they're offered is too good to pass up. They exchange a glance and decide on the spot to wait until the show is over before divorcing.
In public, Zhu Ye is the illustrious young master of the Zhu family, ruthless and taciturn, unruly, cold, and quick-tempered.
Yu Chi, on the other hand, is famous in the entertainment industry as a pretty face, with few works to his name but no shortage of rumored romances and scandalous gossip.
In a past interview, they sat a meter apart and didn't make eye contact once. They're famously a couple in name only.
Before the show begins, netizens declare: A fake couple and a business marriage. They deserve to get divorced.
3.
Then the show finally starts.
Everyone gathers in the livestream, waiting to watch the two fight, give each other the silent treatment, and awkwardly share a space. They snack on melon seeds and join the director in digging into the ultimate reason for the divorce.
One moment, Zhu Ye is on the phone with a friend: "Divorce. We have to divorce. As soon as the show's over, we're splitting up."
His friend kindly tries to talk him out of it. Zhu Ye sneers. "Even Buddha can't save a lovesick puppy. Only an idiot would go back. Even if he got down on his knees and begged me for help today, I wouldn't give him so much as a second glance."
The next moment, Yu Chi steps out of the bathroom, cool and detached. He lowers his head to straighten his robe, letting a glimpse of skin show as it falls loosely open. He ties a bow twice and still can't get it right, then looks up at Zhu Ye.
Zhu Ye stares, transfixed, and spills all the water he'd just brought to his lips.
Five minutes later, Zhu Ye is squatting in the bathroom, happily humming as he washes Yu Chi's clothes.
The whole internet: No hope for him. Next!
Theme: Treat people sincerely. A genuine heart is precious.

Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! I can't wait to see xql together oooooooooooooooo
Wow! I saw the content of the copy! ! ! ! Brother You is so jealous! ! ! ! Please explain it quickly! ! ! ! ! ! There is actually a straight man on our team? The task of protecting rare animals is left to Comrade Xiaolin! !
I discovered it too late and failed to pursue it from the beginning. But I really, really like this article. Both of them are very, very gentle and warm-hearted babies. After reading it, I feel warm in my heart. I really like the way Xiaoqi and Brother You get along. It's very natural and sweet.
The senior high school students really felt the same after reading this chapter.
This cold war is so blunt.
It took me a few hours to read it in one sitting. I was so moved by the love between the two. I can never refuse this kind of coming-of-age story about mutual redemption. Xiao Su's growth is obvious, but I feel sorry for Brother You even more. His father died young and his mother didn't love him (on the surface). How could he reject Xiao Su, such a good and well-behaved little sun? The whole process is high-energy and non-abusive. Watch me rolling on the bed hhh In the parallel world, Xiao Su and Brother You must be together forever ( ̄
