After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Moved in With His Brother

*The uncensored version is only on Jinjiang. The cover features Jiang Tong, commissioned artwork by Yuyu.

*This novel is full of melodrama, truly shamelessly melodramatic. Please check the content warnings.

Jiang Tong transmigrates into the body of a scum's fiance, a doomed cannon-fodder character with a tragic ending.

The good news: he breaks off the engagement with the scum on the spot that very day.

The bad news: his new arranged-marriage partner is the sinister villain Ji Shiye.

Ji Shiye loosens his tie with one hand, his voice low. "Since this is a business arrangement, cooperate and help me keep up appearances. Don't try anything funny."

Oh, right. I almost forgot. This villain is a vicious attack dog.

Jiang Tong plays along, but Ji Shiye suddenly wraps an arm around his waist, holding him as if he wants to squeeze him right into his arms. At the drop of a hat, he pins Jiang Tong to the sofa and presses something big against him.

Jiang Tong: ?

Weren't we just pretending?

One day, after the two of them argue and give each other the cold shoulder, Jiang Tong storms off. To his surprise, Ji Shiye actually chases him all the way to the office.

Jiang Tong crosses his legs. "What brings you here, Mr. Ji?"

Ji Shiye stares right at him and, after a long pause, manages to blurt out, "Dinner's ready. When are you coming home?"

Jiang Tong: ?

What happened to the attack dog?

-

Ji Shiye has fought and scrapped for everything since childhood, but never truly won once. No one has ever chosen him wholeheartedly.

That is, until he stole his older brother's fiance.

He thought Jiang Tong was just a useless pretty face, someone he could kick to the curb once he was done using him.

But later, when everyone abandoned Ji Shiye and he sat slumped against a wall, Jiang Tong was the only one who came to him.

He lifted his eyes from the shadows and asked hoarsely, "Why did you come back?"

Jiang Tong picked up the handcuffs that had been tossed onto the bed, rubbed Ji Shiye's crown, and leaned close to whisper, "I came back so you can keep me locked up, young master."

-

Ji Shiye once thought his older brother must have been blind not to cherish Jiang Tong.

But he was glad his brother was blind.

He even hoped everyone in the world would go blind.

Then, when he went to pick Jiang Tong up from work, he found a crowd packed outside the office.

A hip-hop skater college boy: "Senior, would you wait for me to grow up?"

The sole heir of an old-money family, throwing money around and offering cars, houses, and land: "Tongtong, are you really not going to consider me?"

The scumbag, regretting everything and practically crying his heart out as he clutched a bouquet: "Jiang Tong, keep liking me! If you come back to me, I swear I won't let you down!"

Ji Shiye: ?

Who understands the sheer magnitude of waking up to find that the whole world is kissing your rivals?

Why are you still sleeping? Get up and compete for your man!

[Elegant, levelheaded, clever, and proud fox-like bottom Jiang Tong VS a sharp-tongued, pure-hearted, possessive, loyal-dog top Ji Shiye]

Reader's guide:

1. The top is younger. Both are completely pure in body and mind. The couple stays together, with neither switching roles. They are mutually devoted and very much in love.

2. The top has clear character flaws and isn't perfect. He's possessive, obsessive, and a mad dog, with a little coercive confinement.

3. [Important] This is neither pure fluff nor pure wish fulfillment. It has melodrama and twists. The top is a ruthless villain, and his actions are inherently irrational. Chapter titles also contain warnings. If you can't accept this, drop the novel now. One person's poison is another person's honey. If this doesn't feel right to you, our tastes simply don't match. Leave now and don't expect anything from the rest of the story. Choose what you like, and like what you choose. Don't put yourself through a painful romance you don't enjoy. Thank you.

[The entire novel has been carefully revised, and some plot details have changed. The authorized and pirated versions differ, so please check the warnings. Thanks to every angel who supports the official version!]

Ongoing

[After Breaking Up, I Married His Uncle]

Ji Cunyan felt that a whole year's worth of bad luck had been crammed into this one month.

His boyfriend of three years cheated on him.

There was infighting among the company's executives, and he backed the wrong side.

His pheromone allergy flared up, and the specialist he'd struggled to get an appointment with suddenly stopped seeing patients.

He could dump his unfaithful boyfriend, and he could change jobs and start over after backing the wrong side. But he couldn't put off treating his illness. It could actually kill him.

Unwilling to give up, Ji Cunyan rushed to the specialist's examination room, where he accidentally stumbled upon Fu Xiuyun's private secret.

The famous Third Young Master Fu was actually... impotent?

After all his bad luck, Ji Cunyan finally felt a little better.

-

Fu Xiuyun handed Ji Cunyan an agreement. "I need a marriage to quiet the rumors. Since you've just learned about my condition, you're the best choice."

Ji Cunyan shrugged. "And if I refuse?"

Fu Xiuyun slowly rolled the prayer beads in his hand. "Then you'll never get an appointment with that specialist. And you can forget about staying in A City."

Ji Cunyan didn't put up much of a fight before signing the marriage agreement.

With his condition, whoever he married, he'd spend the rest of his life as a celibate. He might as well marry a rich and powerful impotent man.

The specialist unexpectedly discovered that their pheromones could treat each other's conditions, and proposed an intimate treatment plan.

They had to smell each other's pheromones, hug, touch, and even... kiss?

Ji Cunyan tried to prepare himself mentally. It was all for treatment. They were just patients helping each other. Their relationship was perfectly innocent!

Until one day, Ji Cunyan went limp as a puddle, drenched from head to toe in his Alpha's intense, domineering pheromones.

Fu Xiuyun pinned him against the full-length bathroom mirror. His hot breath brushed against the gland he'd bitten raw, and he murmured hoarsely, "Yanyan, can I go a little deeper?"

Wait, what happened to his condition?

Oh, Ji Cunyan cured him.

-

Lu Zhiheng cheated and regretted it too late. He showed up drunk and refused to leave. When he caught the scent of another Alpha on Ji Cunyan, his fury erupted. "Aren't you allergic to Alpha pheromones? Whose scent is that on you?"

The "other man" strolled out of the bedroom in a loose bathrobe.

When Lu Zhiheng recognized Fu Xiuyun, his fury turned to shock. "Uncle?"

-

As the head of the Fu family, Fu Xiuyun was exceptional in both looks and ability.

But he had a secret condition he couldn't tell anyone about.

He was a false Alpha. He had an Alpha gland, but couldn't release pheromones and didn't react to Omega pheromones either.

He'd lived like a monk, free of desire, for nearly thirty years. It wasn't until Ji Cunyan appeared that Fu Xiuyun realized there was nothing wrong with him. He simply hadn't met anyone who could stir a reaction in him.

As for his troublesome nephew who showed up at his door, he was just the excuse Fu Xiuyun needed to get angry and jealous, then make it up to Ji Cunyan twice over.

Fu Xiuyun rubbed his thumb over a bodhi bead, secretly calculating: How many times should I bite him today?

Coming Soon

[The Pretty Gold Digger Is Kept by a Scheming Rich Boy]

Lin Xiyue was proud and arrogant, convinced he was extraordinary.

As the only student from his hometown to get into a university in the capital, he'd grown up surrounded by praise. But after arriving in the capital, he became a nobody, an overlooked extra.

He was poor but ambitious, worked hard, and tried to make himself noticed. Yet everyone only ever talked about Zhao Ciyan, the privileged, elegant, golden boy with a wealthy family.

Lin Xiyue scoffed over his instant noodles. "He's just a rich kid living off his parents. What's so impressive? If I'd been born into a good family, I'd be ten times better than Zhao Ciyan!"

His big break soon came. His font design won a city-level gold medal, and he was set to receive special recognition at the opening ceremony. His counselor told him to prepare.

Lin Xiyue spent the whole night ironing his only white shirt, eager for his moment to shine.

He was good-looking. Once he stood under the spotlight, everyone was bound to be impressed.

But at the last minute, they added a speech by an outstanding student, and cut his award presentation altogether. The person standing onstage in a sharp suit to give the speech was none other than Zhao Ciyan.

Lin Xiyue was furious. This had to be some backroom deal made by the rich!

He started stalking Zhao Ciyan's social media accounts, digging through his posts and club updates and even checking comments from his high school classmates. He was determined to dig up dirt on this hypocrite and expose him.

He found no dirt, but he did find the campus confession page plastered with handsome photos of Zhao Ciyan. The comments were full of praise: "Senior Zhao is so handsome," "He has the aura of a god," "Is he a celebrity?"

Lin Xiyue gulped down his noodle broth and angrily left a comment from an alt account: "That's just appearances. Who knows how rotten he is inside? He just hasn't been exposed yet."

His comment was immediately swarmed. He was about to fire back when the original poster blocked him.

Lin Xiyue was so angry he nearly burst into tears. The person onstage should have been him, and all that praise should have been his.

Zhao Ciyan must have stolen his good fortune!

Fate brought them together at the library, where they ran into each other in a study room. Zhao Ciyan sat across from him and asked for help with a calculus problem.

Lin Xiyue immediately puffed out his chest and scribbled down the solution, thinking that Zhao Ciyan wasn't all that impressive if he couldn't even solve such an easy problem.

To thank him, Zhao Ciyan took him to a Japanese restaurant where the average meal cost over a thousand yuan. He also treated Lin Xiyue like a friend, casually giving him imported chocolate, limited-edition sneakers, and a full-frame mirrorless camera.

Lin Xiyue never suspected anything about Zhao Ciyan's kindness. He was convinced Zhao Ciyan had simply been won over by his personality.

No matter how expensive the gifts were, he accepted them without a second thought, determined to bleed Zhao Ciyan dry.

Lin Xiyue grew prettier and prettier under Zhao Ciyan's care, and really did become the center of attention. He was having such a good time that he completely forgot his plan to expose Zhao Ciyan. He also failed to notice the cold smile at Zhao Ciyan's lips and the amusement in his eyes.

Until one day, Zhao Ciyan had his way with him from head to toe, leaving him stuffed like a cream puff on both ends.

Lin Xiyue went limp as water, his eyes red-rimmed as he glared at Zhao Ciyan. "You... you're gay?"

Zhao Ciyan rubbed away his tears with his fingertip and smiled. "Mm. You can expose me now."
