Novel blurb:

Yuan Qingzhuo has returned to the country, and Yuan Rong's good days are over.

This older brother, who came into his life after their families were restructured, is a full-fledged menace. Yuan Rong has suffered plenty at his hands.

Yet in front of their parents and classmates, Yuan Qingzhuo is always impeccably dressed, gentle, polite, sensible, and mature.

Only Yuan Rong can see his wicked true nature:

Playing pranks and picking fights behind his back, interfering in everything, and often using his physical advantage to pin Yuan Rong down. That would be bad enough...

The problem is that nearly every girl Yuan Rong has had a crush on over the years has briefly been Yuan Qingzhuo's girlfriend!

He intercepts Yuan Rong's fumbling attempts to pursue them every time, snuffs out his budding romances, and even brazenly shows off his crushes to him.

Yuan Rong: ...

Yuan Qingzhuo is more handsome and more accomplished than him, and the girls like him. Yuan Rong put up with it.

But the longer he holds it in, the angrier he gets. The more ground he gives, the more he feels he's losing.

Yuan Qingzhuo even takes things too far. The night before leaving the country, he barges into Yuan Rong's room and gives him a vicious warning:

"While I'm gone, don't you dare start dating. When I get back, I'll deal with you, nice and slow."

At the time, Yuan Rong couldn't care less.

By the time he realizes how the other feels about him, it's already too late.

That night, Yuan Qingzhuo kicks Yuan Rong's door open in a fury:

"I already warned you not to get so close to those girls."

Why won't you listen?

[Important] The author has repeatedly emphasized: Different people have different tastes, so respect one another, keep comments friendly, and discuss things harmoniously. This isn't something I wrote on a whim. If you don't like it, don't force yourself to read. You can drop it without telling me; there are plenty of other sweet novels on JJ that may suit you better. Anyone who attacks or vents recklessly in the comments will go bald.

# Extremely possessive, scheming, nasty (emphasis) gong x a male high school student, shou, forced to be innocent

# Not on the same household registration, no blood relation, feelings develop only after adulthood, both sweet and bittersweet; to me, this is the sweetest novel I've written so far, Orz

# The gong and shou's parents are not legally related; he belongs to another family

# One-on-one, both sexually inexperienced, happy ending, older man and younger man; the younger brother is straight until the gong turns him. They have a minor misunderstanding before VIP chapters, explained gradually later

# The gong only likes the shou and has never even touched a girl's hand

# My writing skills are limited, so please excuse any shortcomings. Thank you, everyone. [Bows]

Here's a preview of my next novel, Want to Try a Little Underworld Romance: Two high-ranking officials of the underworld constantly bicker, then discover they are each other's ex-husband.

He Yunzhi is a famously handsome, rich, and powerful man in the underworld, holding an important position in the Administration Bureau.

At a joint conference between Heaven and Earth, he beat up a divine official and pulled down someone's pants. The gods and ghosts submitted a pile of reports demanding severe punishment!

It's said he enforces the law with his fists and never uses words when he can use his hands. Suspected ghost criminals panic and flee as soon as they see him.

The ghosts of the underworld whisper: Please, is there anyone in Heaven or Earth who can keep him in check?!

As a matter of fact, there is.

He Yunzhi has a famous rival known to both gods and ghosts: An Rushan, head of the Office of Yin Laws.

Whenever they're both in the same place, even the coldest parts of the underworld fill with the smell of gunpowder!

As luck would have it, the King of Hell, chairman of the underworld council, assigns An Rushan to supervise He Yunzhi's community service in the human world;

And as if that weren't bad enough, the two bicker all the way from the underworld to the human world, each unable to stand the other.

Just when He Yunzhi thinks there's no way he'll ever get back to the underworld, his always serious, steady, and calculating nemesis pins him down, yanks off his perfectly smooth tie, and tosses a thick stack of complaint letters at him.

He opens them to find that every one is a complaint he wrote about An Rushan's poor work.

"If you want to return to the underworld, don't sleep tonight. I'll let you go once you've finished reading every letter."

He Yunzhi stays awake all night. Whenever he starts to get sleepy while reading, An Rushan gently squeezes the back of his neck.

"Good boy, keep reading."

Polite He Yunzhi: You, specifically.

# The gong died in the 1980s and has a bit of an old-school bureaucrat vibe

# Past and present lives, lots of melodrama, but a little sweet!
