Young Lovers [GB, Complete]

★ The main story is free to read ★ Next up: Wild Child [Actually scummy, morally bankrupt rich girl x gentle, virtuous illegitimate son who bears everything in silence] Please add it to your reading list~~ When the classes were reshuffled in her second year of high school, Tong Song was assigned by her homeroom teacher to tutor a struggling student. She had no choice but to approach the class troublemaker. The two couldn't stand each other, until an accidental encounter exposed the facades they had both worked so hard to maintain: He saw the model student smoking in an alley in the old district, exhaling clouds of smoke. She saw the bad student with a bruised face, awkwardly mending his little sister's doll. Tong Song's carefully cultivated image had crumbled. She gave him a flippant smile. “Hey, got a light?” A good girl who's not all that good and a bad boy who's not all that bad. A scheming, two-faced top student x a pure-hearted, cool guy who's all bark and no bite. ▼▼▼ I'm really bad at writing blurbs, so please read these content notes instead!! [Reading guide and content warnings] ① Both leads are virgins; happy ending. ② The heroine looks like a sweet, innocent flower but has a dark, scheming personality. She isn't physically strong, and she's not a strong female lead in the traditional sense. ③ No role reversal between the female and male leads. This is a niche story written for love of the genre, so please don't attack the author if it's not to your taste. ④ The story ends with one couple. The heroine has a slight everyone-falls-for-her aura, and both men and women are infatuated with her: * There will be female characters with one-sided crushes on the heroine. * There will be male characters with one-sided crushes on the heroine. ⑤ Important characters will smoke, and smoking will be depicted. ⑥ Both leads come from unhappy families. The male lead's PTSD will be depicted midway through the story. (Please read the content warnings before starting. By reading, you agree to all of the above. Non-constructive negative reviews will be deleted. If you don't like the story as you read, please try putting down your weapon and looking into the distance.

The characters' values do not represent the author's. Read with discretion!] My name is Xun Wei. Ever since I was little, I'd heard the neighbors say I was no good, but honestly, you can't blame me for all of it. As the only rich kid in Huaicheng who had never seen her mother and only saw her father a few times a year, my eyes always held a sadness no one else's did. My useless dad rarely came home, but his various mistresses showed up every so often to remind us they existed. I'd never met my mother, but over the years my dad had bedmates of every gender and identity. Put them together and they could keep ten livestreaming groups going. I grew up thriving in this fine family tradition. I was already fed up, and then my dad brought one of his lovers home. So this jerk really thought he could walk all over me. That very night, I ordered a deluxe model of a deluxe model of a lifelike [redacted], kicked open my stepdad's bedroom door, and celebrated becoming an adult. Then my own father flew into a rage and shipped me overseas. The family fortune would be mine sooner or later, anyway. After a few years of living it up abroad, I was ready to return home, inherit the family fortune, and coast through life. As soon as my plane landed, I saw a beautiful, pure-looking young man standing next to my dad. “Dad, your taste has finally improved.” “Don't be ridiculous. This is your brother.” “I get it, I get it. You're into role-play, huh? Aren't you a little old for that?” “Xun Wei, he's your biological brother!” “...” “Wow.” Great. He'd brought home some random brother now of all times. My dad had timed this perfectly, and his intentions were obvious to anyone. Did he really think I was stupid? Sure, I might joke around with you all the time, but if anyone touched my inheritance, I'd make them regret it. I couldn't beat my dad, but surely I could handle this brother he'd dropped into the family. My brother's name was Xun Tu. He was gentle and pretty, and when people bullied him, all he could do was cry with red eyes. Honestly, he was pretty useless. If my dad hadn't insisted that he take over the company, I might have liked him. But there was no “if.” With Xun Tu, I kept going further down the road of being a terrible person. But I never expected that after all the horrific “kindness” I showed him, he'd still cook for me every day and wait for me to come home, keeping up the show of sibling affection. It turned my stomach. He could make himself feel moved. I wasn't going to give in. That's how battles for the title of heir have always gone. How does that saying go? I torment my brother a thousand times, and he still treats me like his first love. That sounds a bit gross, but as time went by, I actually started to like him. It bothered me when I saw my brother cry, too. Just when I was finally ready to lay down my weapon and turn over a new leaf, and start treating Xun Tu a little better, he ran away. He actually!! Ran away?!! Before leaving, he even had the nerve to say he had never coveted anything that wasn't his. He'd only wanted a family. Xun Tu, you're something else. Don't think I don't know you're saying that to make me feel guilty. Right, big brother? Your scheme worked.
