Xia Li hated his younger brother, Shen Zhuoye. Why did he have to be born only after Xia Li had spent two years being adopted by the Shen family and gotten a taste of what it was like to have a family?

After Shen Zhuoye was born, the whole family turned their attention to him, while Xia Li was always the one who got ignored.

He hated him with all his heart, but Shen Zhuoye seemed oblivious to his hostility. He stuck to him every day, impossible to shake off and impossible to beat away.

When Xia Li found out Shen Zhuoye liked him, a strange thrill rose inside him. Look at that. No matter how much you dote on him, he only likes me.

At first, Xia Li was only playing around. He thought he could walk away easily, but when he learned that Shen Zhuoye had attempted suicide, he felt fear and regret for the first time. He knew all too well that he would be entangled with Shen Zhuoye for the rest of his life.

"You think you can get away, big brother?"

Shen Zhuoye cornered Xia Li against the wall, his hand gripping Xia Li's chin as he forced him to look straight at him. His voice was low and dangerous, like a dull knife slowly carving away Xia Li's self-control.

Xia Li had had enough of playing around and didn't want to continue. He reminded him, "We're brothers. I'm your older brother..."

"So what?" Shen Zhuoye chuckled, his gaze burning with obsession. "I've never thought of you as my brother."

"We're not related by blood, and we're not on the same household register. Why can't we be together?"

"Don't push me, big brother."

"You know I'm capable of anything."

That's right. Shen Zhuoye was a lunatic. He'd deliberately called Xia Li's name while masturbating after Xia Li's college entrance exams, making sure he heard. He'd deliberately used the excuse of being drunk to say lewd things to him. He'd deliberately done intimate things to him in his bed so his boyfriend would see...

Reader's guide:

1. Both leads are chaste in body and heart. They're each other's first.

2. Both are a little messed up, with questionable morals.

3. Lots and lots of melodrama. The boyfriend is fake.

4. The bottom seems gentle but is actually cold and ruthless. The top is rotten to the core inside and out, but knows how to put on an act around the bottom.
