Jiang Anchu awakened.
He discovered that he was a supporting villain in a wealthy-family revenge novel where the protagonist takes down scum.
And the protagonist of the book was the fake younger brother he'd lived with for eighteen years.
In this male-oriented rags-to-riches revenge story, the fake young master would be thrown out of the house after the real young master returned.
After years of hardship, the fake young master would become a rising star in their circle and bankrupt the Jiang family, who had once abandoned him. Jiang Anchu would go from a distinguished company president to a homeless man living on the streets.
After learning the plot, Jiang Anchu said, "That's complete nonsense!"
Their family wasn't so poor they couldn't raise a child, and the younger brother he'd raised from childhood was obedient and sensible. How could he become a cold-blooded executioner?
Still, he had someone look into the real young master's background.
Looking at the young man with a face that resembled his father's by eighty percent and a body covered in scars, Jiang Anchu fell silent.
The first step in changing the plot: Jiang Anchu sponsored the real young master and took him away from that hellish home.
The second step in changing the plot: Jiang Anchu filled the fake young master's head with all kinds of ideas about getting along harmoniously, loving one another, and not breaking the law.
He believed that with his efforts, his two younger brothers would surely get along.

Jiang Zhou noticed that his brother seemed to have a new little brother.
When his brother bought him gifts, he would secretly prepare two of everything. He would also take time out of his busy work schedule to go shopping for clothes with that boy, while lying to Jiang Zhou that he was working overtime.
Even his brother's usually private office bore traces of the other boy.
His brother was gentle and kind, so he must have been deceived by that boy's hypocritical facade. There was no one in the world better at being Jiang Anchu's younger brother than him.
Jiang Zhou had only given the other boy a simple warning, but Jiang Anchu had sharply scolded him.
Watching Jiang Anchu protect the boy and clearly favor him, Jiang Zhou's eyes darkened.
It turned out that a real younger brother couldn't compete with a lover who was like a younger brother.
But when the paternity test results came to light, it turned out that Jiang Zhou was the outsider in this family.
His parents wanted to throw him out, but his brother pulled him into his arms and comforted him softly.
Jiang Zhou's first thought was, Brother smells so good and feels so soft. His second thought was, actually, being his lover who is like a younger brother isn't bad either.
-
Jiang Anchu never imagined that the little brat who'd called him big brother for eighteen years would pin him beneath him.
This was absurd!
Jiang Zhou lifted him onto the desk. His suit was rumpled, the corners of his eyes red, and his voice sounded inexplicably guilty. "I'm your brother."
At the very least, they couldn't do this here.
Jiang Zhou leaned close to his ear with a smile. "Then, Big Brother, do you want this hand of mine, the one you held as you taught me to write stroke by stroke, or the one you smacked when I got into trouble?"
When the real young master pushed open the door, he saw Jiang Zhou leaning casually against the desk and wiping his hands.
The boy's features were sharp and cool, like an unfathomably deep whirlpool.
"I won't fight you for anything else, but I'll always be the younger brother he loves most."
When Jiang Anchu woke up, he saw two little wolf cubs staring right at him.
Real young master: "Big Brother, you know I've never had an older brother."
Fake young master: "Big Brother, there's no place for me in this family after all. I should leave on my own."
Jiang Anchu: ...
Little tips
1. One-on-one romance, younger love interest, seme and uke, no blood relation between them, and they aren't registered in the same household when they get together.
2. The real young master isn't a bad person. There's nothing gross in the story, just two puppy-like boys competing for their brother.
3. Gu Zhou Bo An Chu is from Meng Haoran's poem "An Incident During a Stay in Wuyang."
Theme: A harmonious, loving family.
