A cunning, acting-maxed, younger alpha top × a righteous, clueless, dark-skinned, muscular beta bottom

[Blurb]

Just after finishing his college entrance exams, the younger brother becomes infatuated with the noodle-shop owner outside his school and loses his appetite. To save his brother from going astray, Yun Dingsheng decides to seduce the man himself.

The first time Yun Dingsheng sees Jiang Hao, the man is bent over, vigorously rolling out noodles. Sweat slips down his collar, revealing glimpses of his pecs.

Full and round, like two plump steamed buns.

His heart races. He covers his spurting nosebleed and nearly faints on the spot.

Determined to make this wicked adult show his true colors, he pulls out all the stops, deploying a green-tea suitor's many-layered schemes. He stops chasing his white moonlight and stops trying to talk sense into his younger brother, devoting himself entirely to the noble cause of acting pitiful and begging for a hug.

Gradually, he realizes that this taciturn, honest man is the white moonlight he's been longing for all along…

Six years ago, Jiang Hao saved an omega who was going through differentiation. Little did he know that this unintentional act would become Yun Dingsheng's most instinctive pursuit in life.

Yun Dingsheng: I differentiated from an omega into an alpha. Everyone looks down on me, bullies me, and excludes me… Even you don't like me…

Jiang Hao comforts him: No, that's not true.

Yun Dingsheng: I'm willing to be with you. I'd even be willing to be your second choice…

Jiang Hao: …Get a grip.

During exam week, everyone else buries their heads in books at the library. Yun Dingsheng buries his in Jiang Hao's pecs.

Yun Dingsheng: I'm so stressed. I need a hug to feel better.

Jiang Hao: …You can have a hug, but keep your hands to yourself.

Jiang Hao has always thought his boyfriend is too fragile to do anything for himself, until he sees him coldly reprimanding a troublemaker who trashed the shop, every punch landing hard and without mercy.

Who is this handsome guy?

Where's my boyfriend, the one who's so fragile?

Reader's Note:

1. An honest, dark-skinned, muscular bottom and a green-tea college-boy top. Younger top, seven-year age gap.

2. A kitten princess of a top: a pampered young master who's never suffered, spoiled, dramatic, and a hypocrite (this may be a selling point or a dealbreaker). He's a scheming, childish crybaby who manages to win himself over.

3. A sweet, monogamous 1v1 with a happy ending.

Coming soon:

The novel will start after reaching 300 collections. (An old story being rewritten, with a serious case of bottom favoritism, a reverse harem, and a character-selection plot.)

Cheng Su's life always seems a little harder than everyone else's.

His mother's beatings and the bullying at school surround him. Getting into college is his only chance to change his circumstances.

A top student who goes unnoticed, a timid pushover.

Cheng Su always sits quietly with his head down in a corner, as if not listening or looking will help him ignore the cruel laughter.

Xue Henian, the transfer student who sits just one desk away, is his complete opposite: sunny, funny, and popular, with a privileged upbringing and all the makings of a golden boy.

Cheng Su's gaze always follows this handsome classmate, growing more fixated and more deeply infatuated until his feelings are almost impossible to control.

Then, by chance, Xue Henian stumbles upon Cheng Su's secret…

Cheng Huiqing, heir apparent to the Wen Group, is a refined scoundrel who excels at putting on a false front. What he hates most in the world is his stepfather. If that man hadn't seduced his mother, Cheng Huiqing wouldn't have ended up with a different surname from hers. And if it weren't for him, no one would associate Cheng Huiqing with Cheng Su, his younger brother with whom he shares no blood relation.

So he's determined to make Cheng Su suffer, bullying and humiliating him until he becomes Cheng Huiqing's personal punching bag.

He hates him. He wants to see him beg and give in, with no choice but to submit. He wants to see his long, thick lashes damp with tears, and his body covered in red marks…

But Cheng Huiqing doesn't know that hate can turn into love.

“My little Su, your body is a work of art.”

Wen Yunbai, CEO of the Wen Group, is naturally aloof, cold, and abstinent. But an encounter in his youth left him obsessed, and he secretly monitors Cheng Su's every move.

A man in power never lowers his head. He intends to close in on his prey at every turn, forcing it to walk right into his trap.

“Everywhere you go is a gilded cage I've built for you.”

Yan Yu, the eldest young master of the Yan family, has blue eyes and brown hair. Handsome and carefree, he loves his freedom and has traveled across mountains, lakes, auroras, and deserts. Yet he falls for Cheng Su at first sight.

He thought his unrequited love was hopeless, but after Cheng Su gets drunk, the two unexpectedly sleep together…

From then on, the scheming puppy boldly makes his move, bringing out all the stops in his green-tea playbook.

“Brother Cheng Su, I'm very obedient. I don't mind being your backup.”

Qin Yu, an illegitimate son from a wealthy family with a tragic past, developed a ruthless, heartless nature just to survive. He takes money to do other people's dirty work: collecting debts, threatening people, even bullying a defenseless, skinny high school student.

What surprises him is that Cheng Su has an unyielding soul, more resilient than Qin Yu has ever been.

They've both suffered, so surely they should stick together and comfort each other. But Cheng Su refuses, pushing him away and trembling with fear.

Why doesn't he love him? He's so obedient. Why does he still push him away?

“Puppy, you need to be punished.”

…

Reader's Note:

1. A rewrite of an old story, with major differences from the original and a new love interest, Qin Yu. A brand-new version, angsty and deliciously melodramatic.

2. A universally disliked character becomes everyone's favorite. Reverse harem, with all the love interests inexperienced and devoted to the protagonist body and soul. Five love interests for now, possibly more.

3. None of the love interests are good people, and they're all possessive. Lots of romantic rivalry and jealousy.

4. A weak bottom who's timid on the outside but resilient within, with dark, intense bottom favoritism.

5. A groveling pursuit of his wife, with everyone falling for him. Beloved Cheng Su is loved by all. Reverse harem, ending in a 1v1 romance~
