Substitute Brothers

Urban setting + fake brothers

Reading guide: The older brother only feels brotherly affection for his biological younger brother, but falls for the stand-in fake brother.

A story about someone who resists, yet still falls in love

Both are each other's first and only, no angst, everyday life of a sweet couple (crossed out)

Correction: the sweet couple's everyday push and pull, and their entanglement

I planned to write a plain, uneventful everyday story, but the moment I started typing, it turned into a rich Irish coffee. Nothing about it is dull. People with sharp edges are destined to clash fiercely to spark.

Versatile voice actor, rebellious bottom X obsessive-compulsive, reserved but secretly passionate, possessive top

Pei Yu is a freelancer who moves in fashion circles. Everyone who knows him wonders why, when he has a face good enough to make an instant debut, he turns down so much work and prefers to hide behind the scenes, making a living with his voice.

In fact, he doesn't just make a living with his voice. He's also a BL audio-drama voice actor who sells his vocal talents. He's especially good at steamy scenes and has a huge fanbase. One day, at a social gathering, someone drugs him at a bar, and he's rescued by a stranger. When he wakes up, a strange contract is waiting for him.

The man who saved him is Wei Haoyang. He wants Pei Yu to pretend to be his missing younger brother until their terminally ill younger sister passes away.

From then on, Pei Yu becomes the wealthy young heir to a corporate group and starts living under the same roof as Wei Haoyang.

As long as the price is right, he doesn't mind playing the part of a loving younger brother. He cares for his older brother and looks after his sister, becoming a capable stand-in brother in this family.

His sister says their eldest brother is "sexually cold" and doesn't know how to express himself, so Pei Yu tries to set him up with his childhood sweetheart. He makes sure not to get in their way and even stays out several times to give them a chance.

But his "older brother" doesn't seem very pleased?

He goes to a photo shoot and gets watched the whole time. Is his big brother embarrassed by him? And why accuse him of attracting admirers?

A colleague confesses to him, and Wei Haoyang responds with cutting sarcasm. Even when Pei Yu shows their sister a little more care, his big brother gives him a string of cold warnings.

Since Wei Haoyang isn't happy with his work, Pei Yu decides to take the money and leave.

On the day their contract ends, the two have dinner to part on good terms. Pei Yu gets drunk, and Wei Haoyang helps him to bed. Who could have guessed that a simple change of clothes after a shower would end with their passions catching fire?

The next day, he'd sobered up, but he couldn't get out of bed.

So much for being "sexually cold"!
