Wei Siyang was diagnosed with a mild intellectual disability at the age of four.
For eighteen years in the Wei family, his parents never cared for him, and his siblings never loved him. He was like an eyesore, an obstacle in everyone's way, and even his existence was unwelcome.
Only when the truth came out did he learn that Lin Xiche, the top student he admired and his former desk mate and only friend, was the real young master of the Wei family. Wei Siyang was nothing but a fake who had been switched at birth.
With his family ties shattered, Wei Siyang leaves the Wei family of his own accord and wants to cut all ties with Lin Xiche, too.
But fate has no intention of letting him go.
While looking for a place to rent, he runs into Liang Shao, Lin Xiche's arrogant, carefree friend, a famous actor.
"Wei Siyang, you're the useless guy who took up years of Xiche's life, aren't you?"
When an honest person gets bullied too badly, all he can do is curl up in a corner and silently cry with his lip between his teeth. This goes on until the night Liang Shao comes of age.
The usually flamboyant young man turns red at the ears, an unusual sight, and roughly pins him into the bed:
"Wei Siyang, date me."
"...Why?" He doesn't understand. How could two men be like that?
"Stop talking. Are you saying yes or not?"
"I don't like men. I don't want to, "
Liang Shao cuts off the rest of his words with a fierce kiss.
Wei Siyang is forced into a relationship, feeling deeply wronged.
He timidly seeks help from the aloof "older brother" he remembers, unaware that he's escaped the wolf's den only to fall into the tiger's lair.
His older brother strokes the corners of his eyes, red from crying, his voice so gentle it's chilling:
"Siyang, didn't you say when you were little that you loved your big brother most and wanted to stay with him forever?"
After finally breaking free, he naively places his hopes in Lin Xiche, who wants to "make things right" with him.
Little does he know that the young man, usually as untouchable as a flower on a high peak, will kiss the marks others have left on his body like a madman and pant in his ear:
"Wei Siyang, you owe me. You'll spend your whole life making it up to me."

Honest, beautiful, and adorably oblivious bottom x aloof, chaste, cold-hearted top // devoted, formidable actor top // possessive, deeply devoted older top
[Bottom-focused fiction, with lots and lots of side characters eyeing our precious bottom. He's a little slow, but only in the sense that he's slow to catch on. He can tell love from family and friendship, and isn't written like a childish little kid.]
P.S. All the tops are gentlemen.
