Blurb:

When Chen Ci is thirteen, his biological father abandons him. Pei Linzhang, whom his mother once supported, finds him and takes him in, saying it is only a temporary arrangement.

He tells him, "Your Aunt Feng used to be my support. From now on, I'll be yours!"

From then on, Chen Ci has a home.

But he can't stop himself from falling in love with the person who takes such careful care of him.

To him, Pei Linzhang stopped being the older brother he knew as a child long ago. He has become a secret Chen Ci can't bring himself to speak aloud.

When Chen Ci is eighteen, Pei Linzhang is drugged.

Chen Ci loses control completely. Unable to hide his feelings any longer, he frantically demands that Pei Linzhang give him his coming-of-age gift.

After a wild night, Chen Ci panics the next day and runs away. When he's caught, seeing his lover's face makes him hard again.

But he's still sent overseas.

Five years later, he returns under a new identity, determined to fight alongside Pei Linzhang and reclaim the heir's position.

And then he discovers a shocking secret in the bedroom of the man who says one thing and means another.

Unable to hide his excitement, Chen Ci pins his brother against the wall and demands that he give him a proper place in his life, but his brother stammers and can't get the words out.

So Chen Ci packs him up that very night and takes him to an island he has long been plotting to visit. As he kisses and teases him, he pleads into his brother's ear, sounding utterly wronged.

"Give me a title, Big Brother."

Pei Linzhang takes the child of his benefactor into his home under the pretense of fostering him, giving him the best protection and planning his future.

At work, he's a decisive business genius. At home, he's a gentle, domestic older brother next door, giving all his love and care to the younger brother who is eight years his junior.

It isn't until the day Chen Ci comes of age that Pei Linzhang realizes the puppy he raised has grown sharp fangs. Chen Ci tears into him wildly, then runs away that very night.

Before Pei Linzhang can blame himself or do anything about it, his nemesis sends him a surveillance video. The moment he sees what's in it, he's terrified, and has no choice but to send Chen Ci away.

The night Chen Ci leaves, Pei Linzhang even sacrifices part of a finger to destroy the footage completely.

For the five years Chen Ci is gone, Pei Linzhang misses him like a man possessed, but doesn't dare go see him even once.

All he can do, night after night, is watch the screen in his bedroom and replay everything that happened that night.

He thinks no one will ever discover his depraved behavior, until one day the person he misses accidentally turns on the screen. The display lights up, and his secret is exposed for all to see.
