After Marrying My Scumbag Ex's Brother, I Got Exposed

[A scatterbrained cutie who, in the top's eyes, is head over heels for him × a jealous, secretly affectionate top who, in the bottom's eyes, is head over heels for him. A sweet romance~] Gu Xinian is reborn at his engagement party, and his fiance is a scumbag. The scumbag got together with him only to use his influence to seize power. Once he achieves his goal, he'll turn on him, leaving the Gu family ruined. At this very moment, the scumbag is looking at him with deep affection and is about to exchange rings with him. Watching the scumbag lean closer, Gu Xinian shoves him away, turns, and runs, crashing into one of the guests at the engagement party. As it happens, he met this guest in his previous life: the scumbag's older half-brother. After Gu Xinian died in his previous life, this man avenged him, then stood at his grave with a restrained expression and bloodshot eyes. * The scumbag stands on the stage, smiling bravely despite being cuckolded: "Xinian, come back." Gu Xinian shakes his head firmly. Knowing the scumbag hates his older brother, he grabs Xiao Yu's hand and declares with righteous indignation: "You tricked me into this engagement. I'm getting engaged to someone else!" In his previous life, Xiao Yu had always thought of him, but only dared to love him from afar. Now, Gu Xinian is willing to be with him. Everyone: !!! Xiao Yu looks at the beauty in his arms, then raises his eyes to the scumbag younger brother on the stage, flashing a meaningful smile. Then he reaches out without hesitation and draws the beauty into his arms. * The young master of the Gu family breaks off his engagement and gets married to the cast-off son of the Xiao family head. At the villa, just after Gu Xinian signs the marriage agreement, Xiao Yu grips his chin and tilts his face up. The man is smiling, but his eyes are cold. "If you're marrying me, you can't think about him anymore." Who knows whether his scumbag younger brother might use this young master to scheme against him? Thinking about the heartbreak of this man, who loved without hope in his previous life and was ultimately separated from the one he loved by death, Gu Xinian mutters a complaint. "Got it. You're so jealous." Xiao Yu: ...Huh? * Later, Gu Xinian accompanies Xiao Yu to visit a grave. Xiao Yu stands in front of a tomb with a restrained expression and bloodshot eyes. It's his mom's grave. That night, the two of them fight all night. The next day, Gu Xinian gets up, grumbling as he packs his things to go home. Xiao Yu, his face scratched up by the beauty, comes up behind him and wraps his arms around him. His expression is gloomy, his voice gentle. "Nian Nian, where do you think you're going?" #Is it really fun to watch a kitty fall into a trap?!# #It's very fun. I even want to pick him up and give him a big kiss :)# Important warnings: 1. Human nature is all about giving in to temptation. The bottom gives in, and the top does too. No groveling-to-win-you-back arc; the pairing is settled. 2. Updates daily, but in special circumstances I'll post a notice to take a break, including but not limited to illness, periods, overtime, or feeling down, etc. orz 3. I enjoy writing this story, and I hope you enjoy reading it. Please don't give me writing advice. The plot and characters all follow my own logic. No need to tell me if you're dropping the story. * Here's an upcoming story! If you're interested, please add it to your favorites~ "The Villainous Real Young Master and I Are Childhood Friends, and We're Three and a Half" Blurb: "Starry Splendor" is a story about two young masters who were switched at birth. The fake young master is adored by everyone, while the real one is hated by all. He was deliberately switched by a malicious nanny and abused as a child, then rejected when he returned to his family as an adult. Deprived of love, the real young master frames the fake one to compete for attention, and ultimately ends up ruined and disgraced. Lin Yuetang is a minor character in the book, with less than a single line of dialogue. The good news is, his consciousness has awakened. The bad news is, he's only three years old. Tangtang wrinkles his little bun-like face, his tiny head full of big questions: Nanny, bad? * After the nanny who stole things from the wealthy Lin family is arrested, Ling Han, the child she abducted, is left an orphan with nowhere to go. Three-year-old Lin Yuetang grabs three-and-a-half-year-old Ling Han and tearfully begs his family: "Don't kick Big Brother out. I want Big Brother!" Ling Han looks at the little bun standing in front of him. Though covered in wounds and weak, he still struggles to hold on to that warm, soft little hand. * It doesn't matter if he can't understand the plot. Lin Yuetang remembers two things: first, Big Brother was abused; second, Big Brother needs love. Three-year-old Tangtang wakes up at night and sees his big brother crawling through the dog door and curling up on the floor beside his bed. Rubbing his eyes and yawning, he speaks in a soft, sleepy baby voice. "Dian Dian Gege, the floor's cold. Come sleep up here!" Thirteen-year-old Tangtang comes out of school and sees his big brother surrounded in a narrow alley. He rushes over, shields him, and bares his teeth at the people across from them. "If you want to bully my big brother, you'll have to get past my fist the size of a sandbag!" Twenty-three-year-old Tangtang runs into the fake young master at a banquet and splashes wine all over his face without mercy. Amid the dead silence, Lin Yuetang gives a small shrug, his eyes full of disdain. "Sorry, my hand slipped." "If your family could mistake a fish eye for a pearl, my brother doesn't want to go back anyway. He grew up in our Lin family, and now he's mine." * At three years old, Ling Han finally understands why his mother doesn't love him and beats him at the slightest excuse every day. It's because he was deliberately switched at birth. He isn't her child at all. Before the age of three, Ling Han lived in a dark abyss. He couldn't see a future and didn't know what sweetness was. After the age of three, he had a little candy all to himself. Behind Lin Yuetang, Ling Han smiles and bends down, drawing the precious young man into his arms. He doesn't even look at the people Lin Yuetang calls his "family." "Yes, young master." "I belong to you." [Blurb inspiration recorded on 2022/5/12.
