[Also known as The Sweetheart and the Ailing Tycoon After Their Arranged Marriage]
1. On the day Yun Xuan married into the Sui family to bring good fortune to its current head, Sui Xiqing, he had a dream that he was a cannon-fodder character in a novel.
The novel was about a domineering protagonist who was betrayed by his relatives, then returned years later to take revenge and reclaim his family fortune.
That protagonist was none other than Sui Xiqing's younger brother.
In the original story, Yun Xuan ignored Sui Xiqing after they married. When Sui Xiqing died, Yun Xuan not only skipped the funeral, but coldly left after calling him a "short-lived ghost."
The domineering protagonist deeply respected his older brother, so when he returned for revenge, he naturally didn't spare Yun Xuan.
In the end, thinking of her late husband Sui Xiqing, Yun Xuan was overcome with guilt and chose to jump into the sea.
Yun Xuan, after waking up: @.@ Am I really going to be written out this carelessly?
Yun Xuan refused to accept that.
He remembered the novel's ending, when the domineering protagonist stood before Sui Xiqing's memorial tablet and said, "Brother, if you hadn't married him to bring you good fortune, and had instead married someone who truly loved you, would you have been happier?"
Yun Xuan: ...Fine, Sui Xiqing. I'm going to love you now. (serious)
2.
When word got out that the Sui family had found someone to marry Sui Xiqing and bring him good fortune, the elite circles of Haishi all wanted to watch the spectacle.
Instead, they saw Yun Xuan bring the tycoon a lovingly prepared lunch every day, stick by his side wherever he went, and rush to argue with anyone who dared say a bad word about him.
The onlookers: He really is head over heels for Sui Xiqing.
Sui Xiqing also thought that Yun Xuan really did seem head over heels for him.
Although Yun Xuan's lovingly prepared meals were nearly inedible, Sui Xiqing thought, at least he'd made them himself.
Although Yun Xuan couldn't even remember when he finished work, Sui Xiqing thought, at least Yun Xuan really did call him in a soft voice and tell him to come home early.
Although all the compliments Yun Xuan showered on him were copied from the internet, Sui Xiqing thought, at least Yun Xuan had put in the effort. He'd copied them out by hand, until his wrist hurt.
Before long, Sui Xiqing realized that he desperately wanted to return those feelings.
But when he did, Yun Xuan was horrified!
3.
He'd taken the act too far! The tycoon had fallen deeply in love with him!
Yun Xuan was so scared he turned pale. He glared and warned the tycoon: You are not allowed to like me! How can you like me?!
After that, he avoided Sui Xiqing and went out of his way to oppose him at every turn.
Until one day at a banquet, he saw the "tycoon's cherished moonlight," briefly mentioned in the original story, make an appearance.
Yun Xuan quietly went home and started packing, ready to make room.
The domineering protagonist helped him, comforting him as he did: "Don't be sad, Sister-in-law. If you divorce my brother, I'll ask the judge to award custody of me to you!"
Yun Xuan looked up with tears in his eyes, only to see the tycoon, Sui Xiqing, standing in the doorway.
Yun Xuan: OAO
[Spoiled sweetheart, sweet but secretly scheming shou x gentle, straightforward tycoon gong]

Final blurb, 2026.8.30
[Please note before reading:]
1. No splitting, reversing, fantasizing, or roleplaying. Not suitable for readers with extreme character preferences.
2. 1v1, happy ending, both leads' first time. The shou isn't faking his feelings, and the gong will recover.
3. I have to mention that I'm not very good at writing sickly characters. Although the title calls him an ailing tycoon, this story is more about a gentle gong than an ailing one. The illnesses and treatments are made up, and any characters, main or supporting, falling ill is for the sake of the plot and romance. I want to apologize in advance to anyone looking forward to that aspect.
4. There is a side pairing with the younger brother, Sui Yan (gong) x Lin Can (shen, shou). They are both underage in the main story, so their romance won't be described in detail. I'm not sure yet whether I'll write about them in the extras.
5. Neither lead will go through a groveling-to-win-back arc. Neither of them is willing to let the other go. Aside from a little jealousy when they come to understand their feelings in the middle and later parts, this is a sweet story overall.
Theme: Sincerity is the ultimate weapon, always.
As a foodie, I say this is really a painful decision to give up.
