After I Stopped Following the Plot, the Brooding Green-Tea Top Came After Me

Ji Shiyu is the top in a forced-love tragedy, and before long, he will meet Wen Qiu, the only person he will ever love.

In the original story, he falls for Wen Qiu at first sight. When his confession goes unanswered, he goes mad and forces Wen Qiu to be his.

Later, Wen Qiu fakes his death and escapes. When the truth comes out, the group's stock price plummets, his family ends up hospitalized, and even the friends who helped him don't escape unscathed.

After awakening, Ji Shiyu: ...

He refuses to follow the original plot and makes up his mind to stay away from Wen Qiu, whom he hurt in the book.

But unexpectedly, Wen Qiu comes looking for him, and Ji Shiyu even hears his thoughts.

[When will he finally lock me up?]

From then on, they keep running into each other. Wen Qiu watches him intently from shadowy corners and drives away anyone who tries to get close to him.

Wen Qiu doesn't like him interacting with other people. He keeps a straight face, but inside, his thoughts are twisted.

[They're standing so close. I'm so jealous.]

[If I *** him, would big brother slap me? Just thinking about it gets me so excited.]

[Never mind. Big brother likes me obedient, so I need to keep myself under control.]

Ji Shiyu, who hears every word: ...

Later, Wen Qiu, whose confession goes unanswered, locks Ji Shiyu up.

Ji Shiyu can't tell whether he's fallen for him, but he never comes to hate Wen Qiu.

On the night everything comes to light, he's not too shocked that things have turned out the opposite of how they did in the original story. He just didn't expect Wen Qiu to be so bad at taking it, and despite his discomfort, he gives Wen Qiu a hard slap.

Wen Qiu only smiles, takes his hand, and kisses it. "Big brother, that must have hurt your hand. Let me kiss it better."

[He looks so good even when he's hitting me.]

[I love big brother so much.]

Extra Scene 1

Ji Shiyu looks at someone a couple of times too many while discussing a business deal with them. When Wen Qiu gets home, he wraps his arms around Ji Shiyu and whines, "Big brother, can you only look at me? Don't look at anyone else."

[Why can't he look only at me? Is big brother tired of me?]

He kisses Wen Qiu gently and says, "Go to bed early. Tomorrow, come home with me to meet my family."

That calms Wen Qiu right down.

[I'm so happy. Big brother really does love me most.]

Extra Scene 2

Ji Shiyu and Wen Qiu run into a friend while vacationing abroad and accidentally end up chatting for a while.

That evening, back at the hotel, Wen Qiu clings to him and plants several sticky kisses on him.

"You talked to him for so long, and you even smiled at him. I'm dying of jealousy."

[So jealous, so jealous, so jealous, I'm going crazy with jealousy.]

He ruffles Wen Qiu's hair. "Be good, and we'll register our marriage as soon as we get back."

Wen Qiu's eyes light up, and he nods obediently. "I'll be good."

* Both are each other's only partners. The bottom is 25 at the start, and the top is 19. A CEO and a college student.

* The top has awakened too, and will show some stalker-like behavior toward the bottom. Please don't read if this bothers you.

* Fundamentally a sweet romance. Every plot development serves to advance the relationship between the leads.

Theme: Look ahead. The future will be better.
