Gentle, scheming, devoted-dog Jin × cold, tsundere queen-type bottom
[Genre] Modern city | Fake-incest | Younger love interest raised by the older one | Sweet romance with a touch of angst | Two strong leads
[Couple Setup]
Lin Yanqing (queen-type bottom)
- 23 years old, an elegant, icy young gentleman, the only son of the Lin family, and a top student at business school.
- Arrogant and sharp-tongued on the surface, but softhearted and fiercely protective of those he cares about, indulging them without limit.
- When he was eleven, he found Lin Jin on a rainy day and brought him home. From then on, Lin Jin became the one and only exception in his life.
Lin Jin (devoted-dog top)
- 19 years old. Gentle on the surface, but secretly calculating, with an obsessive possessiveness toward his older brother.
- Abandoned in an alley as a child, he was there until Lin Yanqing held an umbrella over him.
- From "Big Brother is my light" to "I want to be Big Brother's man," he has kept his feelings buried for years, until they finally erupt.
[Highlights]
Redemption on a rainy night
"Take my surname. Your name is Lin Jin." The boy wiped the mud from his face. "From today on, no one can bully you."
(Extra scene: Later, Lin Jin had those words tattooed below his collarbone, the spot closest to his heart.)
Forbidden feelings awaken
At nineteen, Lin Jin pinned his older brother beneath him. "You taught me that if you like someone, you have to pursue them."
Lin Yanqing's ears turned red. "...I taught you that?"
"You also taught me," his fingertip traced Lin Yanqing's lips, "that you're supposed to close your eyes when you kiss."
Two top students' everyday life
- Lin Yanqing works on his paper in the library while Lin Jin fills a sheet of draft paper with drawings of his brother sleeping.
- Business school versus architecture. The whole campus knows that "Senior Lin has a clingy little brother."
(Until one day, someone sees Lin Jin pinning Senior Lin against a wall in an empty classroom and kissing him...)
[Reading Guide]
1. Fake-incest, raised-together romance, with a four-year age gap and years of mutual pining.
2. Lin Jin is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He obediently calls him Big Brother in public, but in bed he coaxes him in a hoarse voice: "Yanqing, be good."
3. Warm, everyday moments early on; after they reach adulthood, their feelings erupt, with a little bit of the older one having to chase the younger one.
> "The night you found me, the rain was so heavy."
> "But I remember," Lin Yanqing tilted his head back and accepted his kiss, "your eyes shone brighter than the rain."
This redemption that began on a rainy night will eventually burn into a fire that consumes the entire plain.
Theme: Bravely pursue your dreams. No matter how long the journey, keep going, because the fruits of success belong to those who persevere.
