The Hated Top Awakens

[Coming soon: Little Brother's Wife, Open Up! I'm Your Brother]

Roll around and beg for follows!

As the youngest son of the Jiang Group, Jiang Weigu should have been showered with affection. But he was slow-witted from an early age, and in his parents' eyes, he could never compare to his all-around exceptional older brother, Jiang Heng.

Even their names reflected the difference: Jiang Heng was as beautiful as jade, while Jiang Weigu was born into a dilemma, with no way forward or back.

His parents had sighed at him since childhood. "If only you were half as good as your brother. You should learn from him."

But when Jiang Weigu followed Jiang Heng around, his brother shoved him into a river. "I hate useless tagalongs. Don't you have anything of your own to do?"

Jiang Weigu knew he wasn't as good as his brother and didn't want to be a burden on his family, so he thought he should leave home as soon as possible.

His childhood friend, Song Baiyu, started an entertainment company and found him a job of sorts: joining a boy band as the group's mother hen and leader. "You should know that no one but me would help you like this."

So Jiang Weigu worked diligently, believing that if he was paid a penny, he had to earn every bit of it. He cleaned up after Lin Youlu, the popular member of the group, and took care of every last detail of his daily life. It was as if he'd joined the band not to debut, but to be the youngest member's nanny.

But then Lin Youlu, whom he'd raised with his own hands, said behind his back, "Jiang Weigu is so annoying. He's always bossing me around, like he's anyone to me."

Jiang Weigu's hand froze as he was bringing over soup. He decided whoever wanted to play mother hen could do it, because he was done. He'd stop looking at other people's faces and live however he wanted.

After he came to his senses, the youngest member looked at him with red-rimmed eyes. "I only said that so they'd hear it. I was afraid they'd find out how good you are."

His childhood friend regretted everything. "I'm the one who can't live without you."

Even his brother, who had always looked down on him, finally gave him the slightest bit of recognition. "Now that's more like it."

But what did any of that have to do with him? He still had albums to release, acting roles to take, and awards to win. He wasn't going to bother with any groveling-at-the-crematorium nonsense.

The boy everyone hated can still work hard and make a new world of his own. His pairing is with the youngest member, Lin Youlu.

After all, the two brothers look so much alike. You can't blame me, can you?

Ji Qinglin was sickly from childhood. Luckily, he was born into a wealthy family and was raised in luxury. As the only child, he was so adored by his parents that as long as he was alive, it didn't matter if he couldn't do anything. They even gave him the soft, sweet nickname Mianmian.

He grew up into a useless parasitic vine who could only rely on others. He never learned any of the skills needed to survive, let alone how to manage an estate.

None of that mattered until the Ji family discovered a huge mistake: when Ji Qinglin was little, he had been switched at birth with a child from an orphanage. He was actually a poor orphan with no parents, while Song Che was the Ji family's real young master.

Just like that, Ji Qinglin was thrown out. But at least he still had his longtime boyfriend, Lu Zhaoye, the young master of the Lu family. They had been together for years, and Lu Zhaoye adored Ji Qinglin. Even when Ji Qinglin had nothing, Lu Zhaoye didn't abandon him.

However, Lu Zhaoye had grown up under the watchful eye of his older brother, Lu Sihan, and had no real power. His brother had the final say in everything at home.

And the few times Ji Qinglin had met Lu Sihan had been far from pleasant. Lu Sihan seemed to dislike his delicate future sister-in-law, and was always sarcastic toward Ji Qinglin. When he heard that the two of them planned to marry, Lu Sihan flew into a rage and cut off Lu Zhaoye's house, car, and even his bank cards.

Lu Zhaoye resolved to leave everything behind and elope with Ji Qinglin. But a car accident left Lu Zhaoye in a vegetative state, and only exorbitant medical bills could keep him alive.

Lu Sihan rushed to the hospital. Seeing Ji Qinglin sitting in a hospital chair, weeping like a pear blossom in the rain, his gaze darkened. He reached out and lifted Ji Qinglin's chin, studying the face that stirred his desire. "Has Mianmian really gotten this stupid? You still don't know who you should be begging now?"

To save his former lover and find protection, Ji Qinglin reached out to his big brother, Lu Sihan. As they spent time together, he discovered that Lu Sihan wasn't as cold as he seemed.

Looking at this face so like that of his former lover, Ji Qinglin couldn't help falling for him. Just then, Lu Zhaoye suddenly woke up. He held Ji Qinglin's hand, his eyes full of gratitude. "Mianmian, I knew you were waiting here for me all along."
