Playing the Aloof Beauty in a Mary Sue Novel

[The full novel is complete! You're welcome to bookmark my upcoming novel, After the Aloof CEO Becomes an Incubus]

Zhu Ge, an all-around genius, transmigrated and became the obsessive older brother of the aloof, untouchable bottom in a Mary Sue novel.

In the story, the bottom was cool and chaste, a peerless genius, exceptionally capable, polite, and tactful. With his perfect family background and resume, he became everyone's unattainable dream lover. He was adored by everyone.

All four male leads in the story secretly loved the bottom.

They were: F1, the domineering heir to a wealthy family; F2, an arrogant and conceited rival in academic competitions; F3, a dark and possessive younger schoolmate; and F4, an elegant, aristocratic piano prodigy. There were countless love rival showdowns and dramatic scenes of regret.

As for Zhu Ge, the cannon-fodder older brother, he was possessive of his younger brother and spied on his life like a rat. He used every means at his disposal to keep others away from Yan Liang.

In the end, after doing too many bad things, he was sent abroad to fend for himself.

Zhu Ge couldn't be bothered to get caught up in their romantic drama, so he stayed out of the plot.

Zhu Ge never expected the novel's story to go off course. The protagonist, Yan Liang, was still a genius with excellent grades and outstanding abilities, but he had a terrible temper, loved stirring up trouble, and was good at putting on an act.

He not only disliked the four male leads, but also detested Zhu Ge.

Very few people knew that Zhu Ge was Yan Liang's older brother.

Yan's father once had a first love, his unattainable dream girl. The two of them adopted a child together: Zhu Ge.

Unfortunately, Zhu Ge didn't like talking and wasn't very likable. As Yan Liang grew more and more dazzling, Zhu Ge grew more and more gloomy.

Everything changed when Zhu Ge cut off his unruly bangs, shot up to the top of his class, and won a competition prize that had always belonged to one of the four male leads.

The gloomy, strange Zhu Ge became an elegant, aloof genius, a true untouchable beauty. He became the dream guy of countless younger students.

At some point, Yan Liang went from hating him to secretly paying attention to him.

He's just a perverted older brother.

So why can't I stop looking at Zhu Ge?

Why do I pay attention to everything he does?

Why are more and more people coveting him?

Zhu Ge worked hard to focus on himself and get his life back on track, but the four male leads started acting strange.

F1 Gu Manshan teased Zhu Ge for being as pretty and delicate as a doll, but kept getting a cold shoulder. Gu Manshan: "You must be trying to get my attention."

F2 Yan Yan kept losing the first-place spot he was certain to win to Zhu Ge, and was always defeated in competitions. Fired up by his competitive spirit, Yan Yan said seriously, "From now on, you're my real rival."

F3 Ji Jia kept getting caught doing bad things by his crush's older brother. He tried to threaten Zhu Ge, but Zhu Ge never took him seriously. He had meant to teach Zhu Ge a lesson, but the more trouble he got into, the more Ji Jia found himself propping up his chin and thinking, "Senior's kind of cute..."

F4 Liang Yiqing was proudest of his piano skills, and couldn't help admiring Zhu Ge at every competition. His curiosity was piqued, and he and Zhu Ge became friends. The more he admired him, the more Liang Yiqing realized, "I don't just want to be friends."

Zhu Ge had been getting a little annoyed lately. The four male leads kept pestering him.

F1 excitedly took photos of him with a camera. F2 found time to discuss problems with him and told him not to date anyone. F3 chased him around school, giving him things one after another. F4 said plaintively that he wanted to play piano with him as a friend.

Even more frightening, the protagonist bottom's younger brother was acting strange too.

It was odd: Zhu Ge could get along calmly with any of the four male leads, but Yan Liang alone could make his emotions fluctuate.

After Yan Liang stopped paying so much attention to him, he rarely met Zhu Ge's eyes. An inexplicable, strange tension always flowed between them.

Zhu Ge thought things would stay that way between them.

But the undercurrent that had appeared from who knew where grew more and more intense.

Until one drunken night, Yan Liang couldn't help kissing the corner of his mouth.

Yan Liang knew his world was a boring Mary Sue novel, and that he was supposedly the protagonist pursued by four men. He was sick of everything.

After Zhu Ge changed, Yan Liang suddenly realized that his older brother had become interesting.

A treasure had come to his dull world.

From then on, the world began to shine.

#He sees through everything, yet still falls in love

A cocky-at-first, devoted-later top vs. an aloof, beautiful bottom

Notes:

1. All four male leads have one-sided crushes. The top and bottom are kindred spirits, and in body and soul, they have eyes only for each other. Some classic falling-in-love-after-all writing.

2. The protagonists are not blood-related and are not registered in the same household. They don't date before they come of age.

3. Light Mary Sue setting in a fictional world, with some original additions. Includes forum posts.

Check out my upcoming novel, The Cannon Foddered Beauty (Quick Transmigration)

Ming Yao is bound to a quick transmigration System. His mission is to become cannon fodder between the protagonist top and bottom in different small worlds, helping their relationship develop.

1. The Stalker Cannon Fodder at School

Ming Yao transmigrates into the role of a stalker cannon fodder who pursues an aloof top student, his love twisted and unhealthy.

The aloof top student hates gay men, but Ming Yao pushes his luck, sending love letters and flowers one after another. The news that he likes men spreads throughout the all-boys' school.

Ming Yao is about to be rejected by his crush. Tormented by the rumors at school, he chooses to jump to his death.

The protagonist bottom eventually gets over his aversion to the cannon fodder, and he and the protagonist top get a happy ending.

When Ming Yao starts pursuing the top student, news that he likes men just happens to spread throughout the school.

He expects to wake up the next day to straight guys angrily cursing him and treating him with disgust. Instead, his desk is piled high with love letters, and a younger student stops him on the way to confess.

Ming Yao: Why? How did the world break? He clearly followed the plot to complete his mission!

After thinking it over, Ming Yao decides to wait a little longer. Everything will be fine once the protagonist top shows up.

Instead, the aloof top student takes off his glasses, pins Ming Yao against the wall, and kisses him passionately. Repressed, frenzied possessiveness fills his eyes. "Weren't you pursuing me? I've been waiting for you for so, so long."

Ming Yao doesn't know that when he sleeps with his head on his desk, everyone around him is looking at him with desire.
