The Spoiled Drama Queen Picked Up a Fake Big Brother

[Cold-faced man x spoiled drama queen]

When Xin Ci was nineteen, he found a man with amnesia.

He'd just lost his parents and didn't know how to do anything, so he came up with a wicked idea. Looking at the tall, silent man before him, he said, "I'm your younger brother."

But Xin Ci didn't know that although the man had lost his memory, he knew perfectly well that he was an only child. He looked at Xin Ci in his loose tank top, his pale arms exposed, and was only half convinced.

A younger brother? Pei Jingming couldn't have one. Then he glanced at Xin Ci's fair, delicate legs and eyes that always seemed to glisten with tears, the corners of them as if dusted with rouge.

Not a younger brother, but a lover.

This little island was hot and humid. Xin Ci was lazy, and his favorite thing to do was sit in a straw hat and watch the older brother he'd found, Pei Jingming, work hard.

At first, Xin Ci had only wanted to find a man to get him through the hardest part of the farming season. But he discovered that this tall, strong older brother did whatever he said. Spoiled since childhood, Xin Ci started acting up again.

He'd throw a tantrum when Pei Jingming wouldn't let him eat popsicles. If Pei Jingming talked too much with someone else, he'd kick him out of bed and make him sleep on the floor. After working in the fields all day, Pei Jingming still had to wash Xin Ci's clothes at night.

Sometimes Xin Ci felt a little guilty. But when Pei Jingming washed his feet with a basin at night, he always scrubbed so hard that it made Xin Ci uncomfortable, and that little bit of guilt vanished.

Until one day, Xin Ci became especially curious about a village official who had come from off the island.

That night, Pei Jingming's expression darkened. Xin Ci was pulled into his arms, and only then did he understand why Pei Jingming had put up with his antics.

But one day, Pei Jingming regained his memories. Looking at the so-called younger brother before him, who was full of lies, he thought.

"I won't hold it against you for deceiving me, but we can't see each other again."

Xin Ci's eyes widened. His heart ached, and tears streamed down before he could stop them.

But this time, his older brother didn't come to comfort him.

Everyone on the island found out that Xin Ci had picked up a big shot. Everyone could hear the roar of the helicopter. Several large boats docked, and wave after wave of bodyguards in black arrived.

They also knew that Xin Ci had been abandoned by the older brother he'd talked about.

Later, Pei Jingming returned to the island and the house where he'd lived before, but it was already empty.

Xin Ci didn't want him anymore.

Pei Jingming's throat was dry, and a strange feeling stirred in his heart. "You heartless bastard."

1. The characters aren't perfect.

2. It's not all domestic drama. Later, there'll also be a big wealthy-family plot. It's that melodramatic.

3. The bottom is a real handful and loves making a fuss, but the top is exactly the kind of cold-faced man who spoils him.

Theme: Don't try to cut corners, or you'll end up making people unhappy.
