What Should I Do After Accidentally Kissing My Fake Brother for Real?

S.K. Group recently hired a young, beautiful new secretary. On his first day, everyone clicked their tongues in amazement at the goddess-level beauty. Yet this gorgeous man somehow seemed to be on the boss's bad side.

That included, but was not limited to, forbidding Secretary Ying from drinking the company's free, unlimited coffee; coldly telling him he was improperly dressed after spotting the top two buttons of his shirt undone at the morning meeting; making him accompany the boss everywhere on business trips and even eat every meal together; and interrogating him about where he'd gone after work.

For a while, everyone in the secretary department was on edge, afraid they'd be the next person the boss singled out. Then, during a video conference, Secretary Ying accidentally broke a cup of scalding coffee. The very next second, the boss disappeared from the screen, and two seconds later...

On Secretary Ying's video feed, a tall, handsome man pushed open the door, scooped up the slender young man, and carefully set him on the desk. His voice was low and soothing:

"Good boy. Stay up there and don't move."

Then he carefully cleaned up the shards and the coffee spilled all over the floor, never letting the cool, porcelain-like young man touch the ground.

Those who had unexpectedly watched the whole thing:

What the hell? Didn't you two hate each other?

Boss, why are you at Secretary Ying's place?

What the hell, Boss! Are you breaking into his home and abducting a man?!

Secretary Ying, why do you look so unsurprised, like this is only natural...

Ying Shixue had realized long ago that his adoptive older brother, at least in name, had an unusual desire to protect and possess him.

For example, when one of his friends came over to do homework, his brother would deliberately stay in the study under the pretext of looking up reference materials, keeping the friend away from him. Knowing that coffee made his heart race, his brother had forcibly thrown out every coffee product in the house. During his graduation project internship, he wouldn't let Ying Shixue go to another company, insisting on keeping him at his side and making him refine the final proposal over and over.

When Ying Shixue was nineteen, someone came to ask for his hand in marriage, bringing lavish gifts and earnestly promising to make him happy. Sitting on the sofa behind Song Mingli, Ying Shixue watched his older brother, who had grown increasingly inscrutable with age, as the veins bulged on his arm and he crushed the glass in his hand.

When the Song family brought home a young master, most people were ready to sit back and enjoy the show.

Without their father's favor, with an older brother already displaying his sharp ambition, and in the deep waters of a century-old family, outsiders watched with cold eyes, wondering how long a child without any support could survive in a place that devoured people whole.

Then, after Pingcheng went through several bloody changes of power, everyone watched with their own eyes as the eldest Song son treasured and protected the beauty in his arms, keeping every storm and frost of the outside world from touching him.

One day, in a bedroom high above the city, the jade-complexioned beauty was kissed until he was breathless and could barely stand. Song Mingli looked at him, his gaze dazed yet restrained.

"I love you."

Though he was already a little short of breath, Ying Shixue still smiled softly when he heard that.

"I know."

I've always known.

Tips:

1. Arrogant, unruly, but secretly possessive younger-brother-obsessed top x cool, adopted-son beauty bottom. One-on-one, both sexually inexperienced, happy ending.

2. There's a little business warfare, and some parts are melodramatic. The setting is fictional, not real. Please go easy on me about the logic of certain details...

3. I'll try to update daily, with one day off after six days of updates. Updates at midnight; the System may delay them by a few minutes. Other times are for corrections.

4. They are not related by blood, and their romance begins after both are adults. They were never registered in the same household to begin with.

5. There is a side couple. They only serve the main plot and won't take up much space in the main story. I might write an extra if possible, and I'll label it in the title.

Shen Fu was the precious treasure of Sheng Yuan, the Empire's top general alone. For seven years of marriage, he kept the beauty as exalted as the moon in the sky, always making him wear a veil when he went out. Not even the most gossip-hungry, fearless tabloids could capture so much as a hint of scandal about him.

Until the general was unexpectedly killed at the front.

At the funeral, the Empire's elite gathered in the chapel, sitting below the stage in silence as the priest recited the final prayer.

In the dead quiet, the carved doors creaked open. Shen Fu, dressed in plain black, climbed the steps toward the platform at the head of the coffin.

Countless sticky gazes followed him. With his back to the crowd, the young man in black had an unreadable face. Only a small patch of skin behind his ear and along his neck was visible, white and soft as snow.

People swallowed audibly, one after another.

So tempting.

Countless priceless treasures, along with extravagant, radiant roses, were sent in an unending stream to the residence of the late Empire general.

After her husband's funeral, Shen Fu began to notice all sorts of strange things happening in his life.

For instance, the expensive roses the earl had sent that morning were thrown into the trash by noon, crushed until their juices ran everywhere along with the filthy, stinking refuse.

The chief inspector, who had arranged to have dinner with him, skidded off the road when his car's tire burst on the way. He spent several days in a hospital bed, able to eat nothing but liquid food.

The rising star of the military, who had invited him to share the first dance at a party, injured his leg at a recruit demonstration the next day and made a spectacular fool of himself.

And then there was his new personal security officer, who always watched him with a gaze that clung like a venomous snake stalking its prey, thick and sticky, impossible to shake off.

Yet whenever Shen Fu looked his way, the man would put on an innocent, harmless expression again.

Stranger still, one day Shen Fu found an identity document in the officer's drawer that was exactly the same as his late husband's.

1. A little widower fiction, hahaha!

1.5. An omegaverse romance. Biologically, pregnancy is possible, but there won't actually be a birth, though there will be a plot point like that.

2. The top isn't really dead. It's the same person from start to finish: the general = the security officer = the top. He has amnesia early on, so there are some scenes where he's jealous of himself. The bottom is the most beautiful person in the entire galaxy, with a bit of a universally adored vibe. Not horror. Mutual love, both sexually inexperienced, one-on-one, happy ending.
