I Asked My Heartthrob Brother to Give Up His Three Boyfriends

Xiang Li is Xiang Zhi’s younger brother.

Compared with Xiang Li, who is a little introverted and socially anxious, Xiang Zhi is dazzling as the sun, a top-tier heartthrob always surrounded by admirers. He is also an indulgent older brother who gives his younger brother whatever he wants.

Xiang Li has always secretly admired his older brother. Then one day, he suddenly has a dream that feels like a premonition.

His brother is the heartthrob protagonist of a modern urban novel about possessive love: a charming fox, always in control, until one day, three admirers whose power and influence are far beyond anything he can handle join forces, lay a trap, and forcibly imprison him, coercing him into a relationship. And Xiang Li is powerless to help.

When Xiang Li wakes, the three powerful admirers from different backgrounds have not yet managed to get close to his brother. They are still only among his many pursuers.

Xiang Li decides he has to protect his brother! No matter... what it takes.

At first, he tugs at Xiang Zhi’s sleeve and, in the same timid, coaxing tone he has always used, says

“...Brother, give me ‘Bai Chonghan.’”

Xiang Zhi is a little surprised, but smiles indulgently. “Sure. If Xiao Li likes him, you can have him.”

First male lead: ...?

The next day, Xiang Li tugs at Xiang Zhi’s sleeve. “Brother, give me ‘Si Yi.’”

Xiang Zhi smiles and nods. “Sure. If Xiao Li likes him, you can have him.”

Second male lead: ...?

On the third day, Xiang Li sees the third male lead. Before he can even tug at his brother’s sleeve, Xiang Zhi smiles and nudges the man toward him.

Third male lead: ...?

The three admirers are completely baffled. But they have yet to earn Xiang Zhi’s trust, so all they can do for now is patiently coax his brother, who seems a little difficult to handle.

Every day, Xiang Li tries his best to juggle all three. He struggles to overcome his social anxiety and uses every tactic he can think of. As long as he keeps them occupied and away from his brother, that’s good enough.

But before three months of this struggle have even passed, not only do the various men he keeps pestering every day begin to look at him differently, their impatience turning into something else, but even his brother’s attitude seems to change.

His brother’s dark, narrow eyes grow increasingly shadowed as Xiang Li becomes exhausted in body and mind, and spends less time returning to his room to sleep with him as before.

“Lili seems to be having a lot of fun lately. You’re so busy you don’t even have time to act spoiled with your brother like you used to.”

“But what can I do? Your brother is unhappy now.”
