Marrying My Wealthy Ex's Older Brother

[The author’s page has lots of upcoming 1v1 stories with different stages. Come add them to your collection, everyone~]

Bai Chi was once the youngest grand-slam Best Actor in the entertainment industry, but died unexpectedly and transmigrated into an unfortunate nobody whose reputation was ruined by a leaked intimate-photo scandal and who was about to be blacklisted across the internet.

The powerful patron who treated him as a stand-in for his white moonlight grew tired of him and tossed down a check without a shred of mercy: Take my money and get out of my sight.

Bai Chi tearfully broke up with his patron, then turned around, grinning, and happily took the money and left.

The patron had no idea that his little lover had not only ended up in his older brother’s arms, but had also become the most precious treasure in his eldest brother’s heart, cherished and carefully protected in his hands.

Wu Yan was the eldest son of the Wu family of Shencheng, and the most powerful, sought-after bachelor in their circle. Rumor had it that he was gloomy, taciturn, ruthless, and a living King of Hell who would devour people without leaving a trace.

Everyone said he was chaste and never got close to beauty, but in truth Wu Yan had long since fallen for someone. He had secretly loved that person for more than a decade.

But before he could confess, that dazzling superstar of a generation fell right before his eyes.

Just as Wu Yan was consumed by regret and longing, on the verge of madness, he noticed that his younger brother’s lover was acting increasingly strangely, growing more and more like the person he had quietly loved for so, so long.

Later, the truth behind the intimate-photo scandal came to light. Bai Chi made a successful comeback and returned to the top tier of the entertainment industry.

The powerful patron unexpectedly learned that the little lover he had once cast aside was actually his true white moonlight. Having lost the one he loved, he regretted it so much he could have kicked himself.

But no matter how hard he tried, the poor little thing who had once loved him desperately would never look back at him again, because his seemingly ascetic, ice-cold older brother had already stolen away the man he loved.

The brothers, once so close, became bitter enemies, and the once-confident patron went mad.

On the day of his older brother’s wedding, the patron rushed onto the stage, eyes bloodshot, and grabbed his brother’s beloved. “You can marry my brother only over my dead body.”

Seeing that Bai Chi remained unmoved, the patron choked back a sob and lowered himself further, pleading miserably, “I know you love my brother too. I’ve really thought it through. If you’re willing, I... can be with my brother, too.”

Bai Chi was utterly confused and deeply shocked. “Be with your brother how?”

The patron dropped to one knee and held out a wedding ring, his voice hoarse.

“Love you together with my brother.”

#Why does my brother’s discarded stand-in lover look more and more like my first love, my white moonlight?#

1. Next up: The Truth Is, I Cultivate the Unfeeling Dao. A rivals-pursuing-the-love-interest contest, with a relationship that changes through different stages, 1v1.

A love-renouncing god on the receiving end vs. powerful lovers from across the Six Realms

An Xiangxue always thought joining the Hehuan Sect was the greatest stroke of luck in his life.

Born with an ice spiritual root, he had a furnace physique. Anyone who cultivated with him could advance by leaps and bounds.

The leaders and young masters of countless prestigious orthodox sects spent fortunes and tried every trick in the book, all hoping to spend one night with him.

Fortunately, the entire sect protected him, so An Xiangxue never suffered the slightest harm.

His master and senior brother always favored him most, and the Demon Emperor was his childhood friend and confidant.

The terrifying Demon Lord was his fiance. They all cherished An Xiangxue with the gentlest love.

But on the day of his thousandth birthday, his closest friend tricked him into drinking poisoned wine, and his senior brother peeled away his exquisite ice-jade skin and bones.

His fiance, the Demon Lord, watched coldly as An Xiangxue’s master picked up a sword and plunged it into his bloody chest.

They said, “A-Xue, don’t be afraid. Hand over your ice-jade body and glazed heart, and you’ll be free.”

An Xiangxue finally understood. Everything he had was because every part of him was a rare, top-grade magical treasure.

After his skin was peeled away, his bones extracted, and his heart gouged out, An Xiangxue dragged his ruined body through the vast, snowy whiteness and collapsed.

His heart was already gone, yet he still felt an agony that pierced his very soul.

To kill without drawing blood, to destroy someone by breaking their heart: that was exactly what this was.

When he opened his eyes again, An Xiangxue found himself waking in a celestial palace in the Heavenly Realm.

A row of immortals knelt beside his bed, calling to him, “Your Highness, ”

Only then did An Xiangxue remember: he was the youngest son of the Heavenly Emperor, the God of Winter.

He was born with a body suited to the unfeeling Dao, without love or hate, joy or sorrow.

All love and hatred in the world were empty to him.

The mortal world’s many entanglements were nothing but tribulations.

He had never had a heart to begin with.

After An Xiangxue died, the lower realms descended into chaos.

The Demon Lord married his memorial tablet in a ceremony befitting a Demon Empress.

His master’s Dao heart shattered, and his senior brother left the sect to establish his own school.

The Demon Emperor gave the Ghost Clan of the Yellow Springs all his life’s cultivation, hoping only to bring An Xiangxue back to life.

Yet for a thousand years, they searched all six realms and could not find even a wisp of An Xiangxue’s fragmented soul.

Then, at the Heavenly Emperor’s birthday banquet that year, they saw the figure they had dreamed of day and night standing in the great hall.

An Xiangxue’s appearance was unchanged. Dressed in white, trailing a dark fragrance, and holding a winter plum, he walked with flowers falling in his wake.

A smile played on his lips, but his eyes were cold and still as he bowed before the Heavenly Emperor.

“Thank you, Father, for arranging this marriage. Your son accepts the decree, ”

An aloof, unfeeling High God gong vs. a sinister, deranged, gloomy shou

Gu Yunji was the young master of the foremost cultivation family, but he was also the most hated person in the immortal sects.

Though he had an exceptionally beautiful face, he had the lowly furnace physique. He was also spoiled, arrogant, ignorant, and mediocre in cultivation, constantly using his family’s status to bully others.

His parents despised his furnace physique for bringing shame on the family. They raised him at a farm and ignored him.

His childhood friend failed to persuade him to cultivate together, so they spread rumors that he was a wanton slut, willing to sleep with anyone and unable to live without a man.

His master had accepted this useless disciple only out of respect for the Gu family, planning to sell him for a higher price when the time came to find him a match.

His fellow disciples looked down on him, and even the servants and maids who did the cleaning sneered at him, saying he had gotten into the greatest sect in the world by climbing into someone’s bed.

But Gu Yunji didn’t understand what he had done wrong. He only wanted to live with dignity, like a normal person.

If others coveted his beauty, mocked him for his furnace physique, and laid hands on him,

was he supposed to swallow his anger and grit his teeth through the humiliation?

Gu Yunji’s cultivation was weak, his parents didn’t love him, and his master didn’t care for him. He had no brothers, sisters, fellow disciples, or close friends to protect him.

Alone and despised, abandoned by everyone, he was treated that way because he had been born with a lowly furnace physique.

He had no other choice but to bare his claws and protect himself.

Later, Gu Yunji met an ordinary wandering cultivator who treated him with genuine affection.

That person didn’t believe the rumors, took him away to start a new life, and devoted himself to cherishing him.

Gu Yunji had never been loved before. He was anxious and apprehensive, afraid it was all just a beautiful dream.

He had nothing to offer, so he revealed his trump card and willingly accepted a furnace contract, proactively helping his lover improve his cultivation.

On the day they married, his Dao companion took up his sword and killed him without mercy.

“You’re nothing but my inner demon, yet you made me fall into the snare of love while I descended to the mortal realm to undergo a tribulation. Today, I, a High God, will kill you to prove my unfeeling Dao!”

Gu Yunji finally understood. His Dao companion was a High God who cultivated the unfeeling Dao, and killing him was the only way to return to the Heavenly Realm.

All that talk of growing old together and never parting, even in death, had been nothing but a playacting lie.

He was merely an inner demon who should never have existed.

Gu Yunji died, but he refused to accept his fate.

At the Bridge of Helplessness, he smashed Meng Po’s soup and tore off the King of Hell’s head with his bare hands.

Feeding on rotting corpses and bones, devouring the souls of the dead and vengeful ghosts, he conquered the underworld alone and took control of the Netherworld and Yellow Springs.

He developed a wicked dual-cultivation technique that devoured other people’s power, gathered countless male lovers in his harem, and became a depraved demon everyone loved to hate.

Gu Yunji thought: So what if I’m a demon? So what if you’re a High God of the Heavenly Realm?

I will destroy the lofty Heavenly Realm and drag you down from your supreme divine throne.

I will shatter your unfeeling Dao and imprison you by my side for all eternity.

What kind of High God are you? You’re nothing but the most disobedient furnace in my bedchamber.
