*Younger brother 1, older brother 0. Two brothers with different parents enter a marriage alliance. They originally agree to a fake marriage, but it turns real, turning into a sweet post-marriage love story.
Cheng Yizhen has held himself to strict standards since childhood as the Cheng family's heir, always striving to be first and pursuing perfection. His life's goal is to take over the family business from his grandfather.
But before he can take over, he unexpectedly discovers that he isn't the Cheng family's biological son!
His grandfather raised him for 28 years, but now refuses to acknowledge him as an adopted son. He stubbornly insists that Cheng Yizhen must marry his younger brother, Cheng Fangdao, and become a true member of the Cheng family before he can feel comfortable handing over the business.
To inherit the family business, Cheng Yizhen has no choice but to pressure Cheng Fangdao into a fake marriage.
They've been brothers for over twenty years, living under the same roof since childhood. Now that they've become fake husbands and moved in together, it seems like nothing has really changed...
At least, that's what Cheng Fangdao's parents think. At dinner, they still worry about their elder son finding a real partner and getting married. "The old man really didn't need to go to such lengths. He's wasting the kids' time, especially Yizhen. He's 28. It's time he settled down."
Cheng Fangdao: "Don't worry, it won't get in the way. My brother already has someone. Ow..."
Under the table, Cheng Yizhen pinches Cheng Fangdao hard.
"Really?" His parents immediately turn to Cheng Yizhen.
Cheng Yizhen can only nod.
"That's wonderful! Fangdao, make sure you cover for your brother in front of Grandpa. The older he gets, the more stubborn he is."
"Mm-hmm." Cheng Fangdao answers carelessly, his thoughts already wandering under the table. He grabs Cheng Yizhen's hand so he can't pull away.
Their hands secretly clasp together beneath the table, fingers interlaced.
If Cheng Yizhen hadn't said he was still on probation and they couldn't go public, Cheng Fangdao would have raised their joined hands right there and announced it to the family.
