Cool-headed, scheming, direct, seductive shou x proud, stubborn, jealous, strong gong

When Duan Chou signed a short-term lover agreement, he had a meticulous, detailed plan.

But on the day he met his mysterious sugar daddy, his mind went blank, and he wanted to run away on the spot.

The man gritted his teeth and demanded, "How broke are you that you'd make yourself this cheap?"

"And isn't President Pei short on people, too?" Duan Chou undid a button on his shirt, a smile tugging at his eyes. "Does President Pei want to inspect the merchandise?"

With a bang, he was yanked against the man's chest. "Duan Chou, you..."

"There's no Duan Chou anymore."

Pei Yucheng was furious, his eyes blazing. "I'm right here. If you're not Duan Chou, then who are you?"

-

Duan Chou and Pei Yucheng had once been the closest of childhood friends.

Duan Chou remembered that from the age of thirteen, Pei Yucheng had insisted on clipping his fingernails and toenails himself, claiming that "a pianist must protect his hands." Then he would rest his head on Duan Chou's thigh and play video games until they drifted off together.

They had once been equals, inseparable.

Now they had ended up in this completely unequal contractual relationship. The irony was unbearable.

But Pei Yucheng wouldn't sleep with Duan Chou.

Even when they kissed until their fingers intertwined and their skin grew hot, he wouldn't go all the way.

Duan Chou knew their relationship was awkward, and that Pei Yucheng couldn't bring himself to go too far, considering their past.

But Duan Chou couldn't go on like this. Half a year in this position was enough to leave him unable to think straight, imagining things that weren't there.

So before the contract was up, he decided to leave.

Just as he was about to speak, Pei Yucheng tossed a contract at him first. "Renewal."

Duan Chou opened it.

It was a marriage contract.

-

Rumor had it that the most important thing about Pei Yucheng's lovers was that they had beautiful hands and could play piano.

But no one knew he never touched them. He only had them show up at a set time to play Chopin.

Then one day, people saw that President Pei had brought along a defective product: someone with hearing loss in his right ear.

At a banquet, they made fun of this defective product.

But the man with hearing loss in his right ear turned around and played a piece by Chopin, stunning the entire room and announcing the return of the once-great prodigy.

Meanwhile, President Pei grabbed the troublemaker by the collar in front of everyone and dragged him before his lover, his voice low and threatening:

"Apologize to my beloved."

-

Two months after he met Pei Yucheng again, Duan Chou opened the "wedding gift" from Pei Yucheng's parents.

It was an innocent love letter, tucked away in a yellowed piano score that had been sealed up for years.

It was from Pei Yucheng at sixteen.

-

Both are virgins, with mutual pining and a cohabitation setup. The shou isn't weak and has his own revenge and comeback storyline. He was born with hearing loss in his right ear, and it won't get better, but his injured left hand will heal. The couple are both strong and dote on each other.

The gong has no ex-girlfriends and hasn't slept around. He's a hundred-percent pure-hearted gong.

Coming soon: Reborn and Abducted by My Moonlight's Older Brother

In his previous life, Chen Yanman was sweet-tempered, gentle, and always swallowed his anger. His adoptive family exploited him until he died young.

Reborn, Chen Yanman swore he would never make the same mistakes again. Though he was still timid inside, he put on a menacing, unapproachable act, giving people a taste of their own medicine and never letting himself be shortchanged. He left the people who had bullied him in his previous life gaping in shock.

That wasn't enough. Chen Yanman wanted to do something even more shocking to everyone else, and even more satisfying for himself:

Find his childhood friend and unrequited love, Sheng Chaoge, and date him.

In his previous life, he'd had a one-sided crush on Sheng Chaoge for years. Only when he was dying did he learn that Sheng Chaoge had secretly felt the same way.

In this life, Chen Yanman worked up the courage to make the first move. He went straight up to Sheng Chaoge at a banquet, nervous but with shining eyes, and asked a simple, "You don't want to, Chaoge?" That very night, he ended up in bed with his moonlight.

Could things get any smoother?

So this is what it's like to have your feelings returned!

Every day, Chen Yanman bubbled with happiness at the thought of living a brand-new life.

...If he had to nitpick and find the one problem with this life,

it was that Sheng Chaoge wasn't as gentle and bright as Chen Yanman remembered him from his previous life.

Instead, he was domineering and aloof, sometimes almost sinister and overbearing.

When they were in bed, he would even cover Chen Yanman's mouth, forbidding him from calling Sheng Chaoge's name.

But it didn't matter. He truly kept Chen Yanman safe in the palm of his hand.

So when Sheng Chaoge suggested they get married early on, Chen Yanman didn't refuse.

But on the day they went to register their marriage, a man who looked seven-tenths like Sheng Chaoge suddenly appeared, his face full of alarm.

"A-Yan, how could you..."

Chen Yanman: "Who are you?"

"I'm Sheng Chaoge! How did you end up with my older brother, Sheng Chaoqi? He's a lunatic!!!"

**

Chen Yanman had never known that Sheng Chaoge had a biological brother named Sheng Chaoqi.

He couldn't believe he'd mistaken someone else for his moonlight.

Even harder to accept was the fact that Sheng Chaoqi had been deceiving and pretending with him all along.

He wanted to escape.

Sheng Chaoqi was baffled. "What do you like about him? I was born a minute before him, I make more money, I'm taller, and I'm definitely bigger..."

Chen Yanman punched him in the chest. "But you're not Sheng Chaoge."

"Names are meaningless. If you want, I can change my name to Sheng Chaoge anytime. Sheng Chaodi. Whatever you like."

"." Chen Yanman stomped his foot. "You're crazy!"

"I'm crazy?" Sheng Chaoqi lowered his eyes. "Then try not clinging to me so tightly."

Chen Yanman struggled against the rope around his wrists. "Then try not tying me to yourself!"

-

"...But if I don't tie you up, how will you be able to tell..."

That night, Sheng Chaoqi guided Chen Yanman in a new way, the bridge of his nose brushing Chen Yanman's cheek. Chen Yanman was trying to look angry, yet couldn't help getting carried away and enjoying it. Sheng Chaoqi lowered his voice.

"The people you played with when you were young, were they always Sheng Chaoge, or was his twin brother there, too?"

"Baby, are you sure I'm not part of your moonlight?"

My moonlight has always been you alone. I've had my eyes on you for so long.

A naturally absent-minded, sickly, sweet darling learning to be a villain (shou) x a cold, aloof, twisted, gloomy dom with a bizarre way of thinking (gong)

Brothers in a love triangle. The true gong, the older brother Sheng Chaoqi, and the second gong, the younger brother Sheng Chaoge, look seven-tenths alike. When they were children, they looked exactly the same.

The gong is older.
