Three People in the Marriage Bed [Angst]

"He never expected the best man and the groom to end up in the same wedding bed."

*

Cai Lan and Su Jinyan's love came naturally.

From high school sweethearts to a long-distance relationship at university, then on to adulthood, their ten years together had only made their bond stronger.

He had finally lived to see same-sex marriage legalized, and then Su Jinyan proposed.

Cai Lan had every reason to say yes. He loved Su Jinyan, and Su Jinyan loved him. Their family and friends all said they were made for each other, destined to be together.

But on their wedding day, his groom left halfway through the ceremony and never came back. After Cai Lan finished seeing to the guests and opened the door, he found Su Jinyan pinned beneath another man, passionately making love.

The man looked up. His face was strikingly similar to his lover's, but his expression was entirely different. Like a beast defending its territory, he still managed to put on a veneer of gentlemanly manners as he reminded Cai Lan:

"You're interrupting me and my husband."

Mo Ziyan was born into a twisted family.

His parents were excessively devoted to each other, and their eldest son was the favorite. The three of them made a perfect family, while he was the odd one out.

"Ziyan was born just to keep Jinyan company."

Their twisted relationship turned the brothers' roles upside down, but Mo Ziyan never grew to hate Su Jinyan.

Quite the opposite: he couldn't help falling in love with his older brother, the only healthy person in the family and the one ray of sunshine in his bleak childhood.

He took meticulous care of his careless brother, followed him like a shadow, and worked his way into Su Jinyan's social circle until he had firmly claimed the most intimate place in his life.

He was born belonging to Su Jinyan.

When Su Jinyan told him at university that he was dating a man, Mo Ziyan smiled to his face, then arranged a full package of confinement and forced love for his brother.

Su Jinyan had ruined his life. Why should he let the culprit go?

Su Jinyan knew he'd done wrong.

From the moment he indulged Mo Ziyan, everything spiraled completely out of control.

His sick brother's every word hit home, each accusation piercing his heart. Su Jinyan was in agony and wanted to break up with Cai Lan.

But a diamond ring held him fast.

Cai Lan pried his fingers apart and kissed his cheek sweetly. Just below where his lips touched, a hickey stood out starkly.

Cai Lan knew perfectly well he hadn't left it there.

Still, he murmured, "Jinyan, I love you. I can't live without you."

Let's get married.

Once they were officially married, no matter how many more times that man who met him in secret at night came back for him, Su Jinyan would still be his.

He covered Su Jinyan's mouth, giving him no chance to argue, and said sweetly, "The ring matters. If I see it in the trash again, I'll be angry."

Forum discussion: Can the new arrival beat the childhood friend?

When Su Jinyan came across the question, someone had hold of each of his hands. Neither side showed any sign of letting go. Both were waiting, openly or otherwise, for his answer, while he was left in the middle, falling apart all alone.

The childhood friend was his younger brother, and the new arrival was his first love... Nobody had told him what to do in a situation this unusual!

A chaotic, morally messy love triangle between Mo Ziyan, Su Jinyan, and Cai Lan. Three-way affair, all crossing the line.
