I Was Only Pretending to Be Good, So Why Did You Take It Seriously?

Everyone knows that Pei Xingye, a top-tier star born into a wealthy family, has a pretty little lover.

Cen Mu is sweet and well-behaved. He never complains, even when he's wronged, making him the perfect kept lover.

Pei Xingye thinks so too, as he watches Cen Mu, who lets him do whatever he wants, lying beside him.

When his docile little lover disappears, Pei Xingye still doesn't give it a second thought.

He must be throwing a tantrum because he's been neglected lately. He'll come back begging for forgiveness in a few days.

But the very next day, the media is flooded with reports that the eldest son of the Pei family has found a new lover.

The breathtaking beauty in the photos, smiling as he stands beside Pei Xingye's older brother,

is none other than Cen Mu, who once obeyed his every word and tried so hard to win his favor!

Then Pei Xingye discovers:

Cen Mu's helplessness was an act.

So was all that love in his eyes whenever he looked at him.

Through those beautiful, flirtatious eyes, Cen Mu sees someone else's reflection.

Pei Xingye was nothing but a stand-in.

A friend messages him: I heard Cen Mu's going to be your sister-in-law?

Pei Xingye: Get lost!

Later, the two run into each other at a party.

Cen Mu apologizes. "I'm sorry. I didn't know you two were brothers. If I'd known, I definitely wouldn't have..."

Pei Xingye cuts him off viciously. Breathing in the faint, sweet scent of alcohol on Cen Mu's lips, he corners him without a care. "Wouldn't have what?"

"..."

"Wouldn't have slept with me? Wouldn't have begged me to take you, wagging your tail?"
