Pampered by the Feudal Elder Brother of a Wealthy Family

*Fictional Nanyang setting | Mining tycoon x sweet, innocent darling Yan Shuang was in a car accident and woke up aboard a ship sailing to Nanyang in the 1940s. After drifting at sea for a month, he was robbed of his wallet as soon as he stepped ashore at the harbor. Penniless, he had no choice but to take a backbreaking job at the docks. Then, by a twist of fate, the amnesiac Yan Shuang became the young master of the Xie family, the kings of Malaya’s tin-mining industry. In a daze, he moved into the Xie family mansion. Xie Junting, the dignified and reserved eldest brother, a man everyone respected and the head of the Xie family, took exceptional care of him. He personally taught Yan Shuang to write, how to grind ink and hold a brush. When Yan Shuang was sick, he fed him medicine after checking its temperature and stayed by his side all night. A servant even saw the master of the Xie family personally comb Yan Shuang’s hair when he got up late. No one had ever seen an elder brother dote on a younger brother like that. He was clearly treating him like a wife! Yan Shuang gradually recovered his memories and realized his supposed young-master status was one big misunderstanding! After receiving the Xie family’s care for so long, he was deeply grateful. After much deliberation, he decided to tell Xie Junting the truth. When he learned Yan Shuang was leaving, Xie Junting smiled as gently as ever and didn’t try to stop him. That night, Yan Shuang woke to a room filled with the wavering light of red wedding candles. Xie Junting, who had been waiting in the shadows, wore wedding robes. His expression was calm and tender, and a flickering flame shone in his black-jade eyes. “Since you’re awake, come over and let’s bow to the heavens.” People outside said the head of the Xie family had gone mad. He’d spoiled a young man of unknown origins rotten, and now he dared to marry him openly before the ancestral shrine. Beyond a folding screen, voices roared. With one hand gripping Yan Shuang’s waist, the man pressed him against the windowsill. As light and shadow shifted, he lowered his deep-set gaze and kissed him. “Why are you still calling me big brother?” “Shuangshuang, call me husband.” 1v1, monogamous, sweet romance *Important: 1.

Coming soon: Marrying the Stern, Old-Fashioned Head of a Wealthy Family, by Xiao Zhiyan *Age gap* *Size difference* (pretty, deaf sweetheart x severe, old-fashioned Daddy) As a burden brought along by the third wife of Hong Kong’s Xie family, Xie Shuyan wasn’t even allowed to sit at the table for meals. Everyone who met him sighed. The pretty boy everyone in the Hong Kong media called a spare part of a wealthy family had a face so beautiful he could get away with anything. Too bad he was a man who couldn’t bear children, and he was deaf, too. To avoid being used as a bargaining chip and married off to Director Chen, who liked men and women alike, Xie Shuyan set his sights on Hong Kong’s most illustrious old-money family: the Lu family. As head of the Lu family, Lu Yao had been raised with strict discipline since childhood. Grace and poise were in his bones. He was a truly privileged man, born with a silver spoon in his mouth and standing above the clouds. So said the Hong Kong newspapers. Xie Shuyan lowered his lashes and scoffed, his waist still aching. By seniority, he had to call Lu Yao “Uncle.” The old man was insatiable in bed, nothing like the stern, old-fashioned gentleman he appeared to be in public. The man had no idea how the newspaper article had offended his darling. He drew him onto his lap and kissed him softly. “So even when you’re angry, bb, you’re this sweet.” The relationship was mutually beneficial and consensual. Once Xie Shuyan had saved enough money to leave the country, he left without looking back. Not long afterward, the Hong Kong media reported that Lu Yao’s proposal had been rejected. The lofty head of a wealthy family had lost his composure, and even the wedding ring he’d bought for tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars was tossed into Victoria Harbour. Rumors sprouted wings and grew wilder by the day. They said the one who’d made Lu Yao fall flat on his face was the Xie family’s “fake young master” who’d run away with the money, and also his nephew in name! All of Hong Kong was in an uproar, waiting to see how this drama would end. Xie Shuyan appeared again at a Lu family banquet six months later. The young man looked like a cool, aloof cat, weariness etched in his eyes. He was deaf in his right ear and had only eighty percent hearing in his left. The unattainably noble head of the Lu family leaned down with a tender expression, whispering to him as he gently massaged his waist. *1v1, monogamous, sweet with a touch of angst.
