Hounded by My First Love's Younger Brother

[Main story complete. Bonus chapters may be updated whenever I feel like it. Weibo: @Shui Yudu] [(Fake) Sister-in-Law Romance] A captivating, irresistible beauty of a bottom, adored by everyone Yun Zhaozhi has spent more than a decade immersed in a life of wine, women, and song. He's a notorious social butterfly, known for his fickle heart and lack of sincerity. As many people hate him as love him. One day, a young man who looks about halfway like his first love suddenly appears at his door. The young man, named Liang Xuming, claims to be his first love's younger brother and asks Yun Zhaozhi to take him in. They've been apart for years. The pure, awkward love they shared as teenagers has long since gathered dust, and Yun Zhaozhi hasn't been in touch with his first love since they broke up. But the young man tells him that his brother passed away a few days ago. In his will, he left all his property to Yun Zhaozhi. After that, life changed. Whenever Yun Zhaozhi came home exhausted after work at the clubs, Liang Xuming would come forward to take whatever he was carrying. There was always a steaming hot meal waiting on the table, too. Wrapped up in Liang Xuming's thoughtfulness, Yun Zhaozhi never noticed the way the younger man's gaze grew more and more intense. The brothers had remarkably similar tastes. After spending years together day in and day out, Yun Zhaozhi gradually came to see him as the only family he had. But on the day Liang Xuming came of age, he suddenly confessed his feelings... Everything went off the rails. From the top's perspective: Liang Xuming had seen Yun Zhaozhi many years ago, when he was very young. He had once seen his usually composed older brother spend an entire day anxiously trying on clothes before meeting Yun Zhaozhi. He had also once accidentally walked in on them kissing. All he saw then was the man's hand resting on his brother's shoulder, pale with pink at the knuckles. He caught only one glimpse before the door closed. Later, his brother grew despondent and stayed that way day and night. Liang Xuming guessed it might be because of a breakup. Breakups were perfectly ordinary in a relationship. He was too young to feel much about it, but for some reason, he thought he might never see that man again. When he was fourteen, an accident took his family from him. Alone, he took the will his brother had left behind and went to find his brother's first love. Years had passed since they last met. The man had shed his youthful innocence, his features now alluring and striking without being vulgar. In that moment, Liang Xuming understood why his brother had never been able to forget Yun Zhaozhi. The bottom isn't paired with the main top, and all the cannon-fodder tops who appear in the main story are also paired. Both parties are adults when they fall in love. The cover uses a template. Please note before reading: 1. The author's kinks are dark and melodramatic, and there are many potential triggers. I won't accept moral judgments about the characters. 2. The plot is clichéd and chaotic, and may include humiliation-chasing and dfxr. There is coercion and tangled love and hate. 3. This is not a sweet romance or a wish-fulfillment story. Readers with strong preferences or hang-ups should proceed with caution. 4. The bottom is adored by everyone and has been intimate with more than one cannon-fodder top. The main top only takes his place later in the story. 5. The writing is poor, the logic is messy, and there are lots of author-created details. You don't need to tell me if you drop the story. 6. Don't insult the bottom. Please add my next book, "Pheromone Allergy ABO", to your reading list. Synopsis: A sweet, adorable omega darling adored by everyone x a taciturn alpha top who says one thing and means another Just after starting his freshman year, Wen Youxia is informed by his family that he's to enter an arranged marriage with an alpha he's never met. His parents reassure him: He's not really a stranger. You played together when you were little. Wen Youxia: What's the difference? Wen Youxia has been doted on by everyone since childhood. He's had dozens of playmates, if not a hundred. At first, Wen Youxia figures they can each do their own thing after the wedding. But on their wedding night, he discovers to his horror that he and his future spouse are both allergic to each other's pheromones. 😱 For the sake of family stability, Wen Youxia and his betrothed agree to get divorced after a year. On the first day of their arranged marriage, Wen Youxia and his spouse keep out of each other's way. On the second day, his spouse is busy with work and doesn't come home, so Wen Youxia throws a party at home. On the third day, Wen Youxia has a one-night stand with an unknown alpha during his heat. On the nth day of their arranged marriage, Wen Youxia discovers that the alpha from his one-night stand is his spouse. From the top's perspective: When they meet again, Yu Shaojian sees the unfamiliar look in Wen Youxia's eyes and finally accepts that Wen Youxia has completely forgotten him. He'd originally thought a year would be enough time for them to develop feelings. Even when Wen Youxia suggested they divorce after a year because of their pheromone allergy, he thought it didn't matter. And things really were going well after they married. Their relationship grew closer, and Wen Youxia went from calling him the polite “Mr. Yu” to “A-Jian” Until one sunny afternoon, Wen Youxia's first boyfriend showed up at their door, asking to get back together. Wen Youxia's first boyfriend was named Zhang Jian. Theme: Leave the past behind and welcome a new beginning
