Love triangle with two tops and one bottom | Ex-chases-wife-to-the-crematorium | Fake incest
A brooding, stubborn, soft-hearted older-brother top who lives with regret x a gentle, long-haired, homemaker-like bottom with an illness x a humble, lovesick, hopelessly romantic puppy-like younger-brother top
Shen Yubai grew up with his neighbor, Gu Changyun, always trailing after him like a little sidekick and shamelessly insisting that he wanted to be with his big brother.
But he happened to present as an Alpha, and so did Gu Changyun.
He'd rather pretend to be an Omega and inject modified serum into his own glands.
He even grew his hair long to make himself look more delicate.
Then, on their wedding night, Shen Yubai, an Alpha himself, exposed his pheromones while being forcibly marked as an Omega.
"Why did you lie to me?" The words plunged him into an icy abyss.
Gu Changyun wanted a divorce, but Shen Yubai refused to agree, no matter what.
"As long as I haven't signed the divorce papers, you can't divorce me!"
From then on, day after day, he had to endure his husband's cold looks and ridicule.
Even his body, damaged by the modified serum, had to endure increasingly painful heats and ruts.
Once again, Shen Yubai suffered through his heat and rut alone in an empty room.
His "husband" came home, his hair dyed chestnut brown.
Even though he knew the other man would push him away, he still threw himself at him, holding on to a sliver of hope.
But this time, he wasn't pushed away.
In a daze, he looked at that familiar face, now filled with an unfamiliar ardor.
The familiar scent of alcohol was there, but now it had a strange, sweet fizz to it.
The bite on the back of his neck was hard, and the Alpha's pheromones controlled his body without mercy.
He needed comfort, so much of it...
But he knew his husband wouldn't hold him.
Yet his "husband" held him close after marking him.
"Yubai, this time, look at me, even just once."
"You can treat me as a substitute, or even as medicine."
Shen Yubai took out the crumpled divorce petition. Gu Changyun's name had been signed on it long ago.
He handed it to Gu Changyun.
"You never loved me, Shen Yubai, for who I am. You loved the shell of an Omega."
"Go find the Omega you love. I don't want to love you anymore."
But Gu Changyun had always loved Shen Yubai, not some version of him who had to be an Omega.
In the middle of their argument, Gu Changyun forcibly tore off Shen Yubai's suppressor patch, trying to give him a forced temporary mark.
Pheromones that belonged to neither Gu Changyun nor Shen Yubai quickly filled the entire room.
"So that's why you suddenly threw divorce papers at me. You've found someone new!"
Furious, Gu Changyun tried to cover up the mark.
"Under the ABO Marriage Law, our marriage ended when you went three years after permanently marking me without giving me so much as a drop of your pheromones."
"I've held on for you for five years. This body is nearly dead."
This time, it was Gu Changyun's turn to say those words:
"As long as I haven't signed the divorce papers, you can't divorce me!"
Reader Advisory:
1. Melodramatic! The younger brother gets the bottom in the end. The tops are virgins, and the bottom only gets involved with the two male leads. No one else.
2. The younger brother has no romantic storyline while the marriage is still in effect. The marriage has ended, but the ex-husband insists he's still the legal husband, so that doesn't count.
