Meng Linshu was known throughout the entertainment industry as an untouchable beauty: cool and celibate, with acting skills second to none. His career took off effortlessly, and awards kept coming.

When someone exposed him for having a powerful benefactor, it turned out that although he had grown up in an orphanage, he was actually the long-lost younger son of the prestigious Qiu family.

Meng Linshu didn't need to marry into a wealthy family. He was already wealthy.

But the Qiu family's eldest son, Qiu Huan, declared in public, "What makes him my brother?"

Qiu Huan, the eldest son of the Qiu family, was powerful, cold, and refined. As the family's real authority, he was famous for his unpredictable temper. In public, he seemed to show little affection for this newly found younger brother.

Fortunately, Meng Linshu had plenty of people who loved him. He didn't need another brother's care.

His handsome, steady, promising young cousin knelt before him, carefully holding his hand and gently applying medicine. "Once I'm head of the family, I'll never let anyone hurt you again."

A renowned director who regarded film as his life treated him as his muse, his camera adoring him and elevating him to the heavens. "If you want, I can retire from filmmaking and leave with you."

The younger boy who had grown up with him in the orphanage gripped his wrist, his reddened eyes dark and full of obsessive longing. "Ge, we're the only ones who belong to the same world. Please don't leave me."

On a night no one else knew about, Meng Linshu was pressed against a full-length mirror by this so-called older brother, who held him down with one hand and forced him to look at himself.

In the mirror, the man looked elegant and unfeeling, yet jealousy burned in his eyes. His gaze was rapt, almost crazed.

"I regret it. I regret letting them all see you." Qiu Huan kissed the vivid little mole on the bridge of his nose. His hand squeezed Meng Linshu's waist so hard it nearly sank into his skin. "Meng Linshu, you can only be mine."

Qiu Huan first met Meng Linshu at the orphanage.

He went there to look for his younger brother. He didn't find him, but he did meet Meng Linshu.

Meng Linshu had picture-perfect features, and his skin looked like jade in the sunlight. A vermilion mole on the bridge of his nose made him irresistibly beautiful. He greeted Qiu Huan warmly. "Mr. Qiu."

The second time they met was in Qiu Huan's room.

He had always kept himself pure, but the moment he saw Meng Linshu, a base desire took root in his heart.

Meng Linshu wore a white shirt, its collar buttons undone to reveal a glimpse of snowy skin. His hands were bound behind his back with a belt, leaving bright red marks on his slender wrists. The sight stirred up indecent fantasies.

"Qiu Huan!" Meng Linshu called him by name, looking at him as if he were a madman. "What do you want?"

Qiu Huan lowered his head to light a cigarette. The match scraped softly across its striking surface. In the pale blue flame, his long fingers could be seen trembling slightly with excitement.

He wanted to possess him. He had gone mad for him at first sight.

[Pretty, pampered little liar in love bottom x Old flame rekindled, powerful boss of Hong Kong top]

|Nine-year age gap|Sweet, satisfying, everyone-loves-him|Money-wielding, unhinged villain vs. cannon-fodder flirtatious beauty|

Xia Songbai transmigrated into an old-fashioned, wealthy-family romance novel full of abuse, where the male lead pursues his wife after losing her.

As a cannon fodder, his job was to stir up misunderstandings between the leads, only to be handed over by the male lead, who had reformed and was now trying to win his wife back, to a gang of thugs to be used as a human rag, all to vent the male lead's anger on behalf of the bottom lead.

Xia Songbai: ...?

If you want to vent your anger for the bottom lead, you can castrate yourself. Why use me as a human rag?

Xia Songbai didn't want to be a villainous cannon-fodder bottom, and he definitely didn't want to be used as a human rag.

In a world where being single meant everyone assumed you coveted the male lead, finding a partner was the only way to stay alive. Xia Songbai carefully read the book and studied his possible targets, discovering that every side character was a classic archetype.

There was a charming young Buddhist from the capital's elite circle, an illegitimate son from a wealthy family, a superstar, and even a foreign prince...

There were so many potential targets, but Xia Songbai chose a different path and boldly decided to pursue the nephew of the story's most powerful villain.

After all, compared to those big shots, young Shen Zhao would be much easier to win over. Besides, he was tall and handsome, studied at Harvard, was a sunny, cheerful puppy, and even received a two-million-yuan trust fund every month.

Most importantly, the only person in the book who could rein in the Gary Stu male lead was Shen Zhao's villainous uncle.

*

As the most powerful villain in the book, Shen Tingzong was extremely mysterious. He only appeared in the final few chapters, yet casually crushed the business empire the male lead had built. If the author hadn't forced him out of the story with a plane crash, the male lead would have gone bankrupt.

Hoping to become the uncle's approved nephew-in-law, Xia Songbai did his best to act obedient. He asked after Shen Tingzong three times a day, and his sweet little "Uncle" went straight to the man's heart. No matter how much Shen Tingzong kept him at arm's length, Xia Songbai took every failure in stride and never gave up.

At last, on the day Shen Tingzong gave his approval, Xia Songbai happily took Shen Zhao's hand and appeared before Shen Tingzong.

But when the usually reserved, cool, and composed man saw their hands clasped together, the exquisite pale-blue glass cup he was holding slipped from his fingertips and shattered on the floor.

That night, Xia Songbai was held across Shen Tingzong's lap as the man kissed the vivid little mole on his neck again and again.

"Didn't you say you liked me? So you were lying." The man wiped away the tears at the corners of his eyes. The enormous pigeon-blood ruby signet ring on his long, slender finger glimmered suggestively. "Have they kissed you like this? Even if they have..."

"I'll show you what the very best feels like."

As he spoke, the man slowly removed his thin gold-rimmed glasses, revealing a pair of gray-violet eyes.

Shen Tingzong: mixed-blood bastard, the gentle and dignified boss of Hong Kong, and the true power behind the entire East Asian underworld.

At last, in this moment, he revealed his true nature.

△ 1v1, both are each other's first and only, happy ending

△ The bottom is loved by everyone, a little liar in love and a sweet flirt. Many people have one-sided crushes on him, but Shen Tingzong is the only true top.
