Older hero, growing-up romance, pseudo-incest, hero pursues the love interest, seven-year age gap
One-line summary: My older brother confessed to me after my fake young master identity was exposed?!
Synopsis
Lu Linzhou's least favorite person in the world was the older brother who had competed with him for their parents' affection since childhood, made him take their mother's surname so he wouldn't fight for the family inheritance, and managed him like he was a little kid: Cheng Linyan.
Then the truth came out, and he turned out to be the fake young master of the family.
The real young master returned, and Lu Linzhou, who had taken his place, would have to leave his wealthy family's life behind.
His father and mother had never loved him, and now he didn't even have a home. What a miserable life TAT...
In the depths of his sorrow, the older brother he had always disliked, the coldest and most serious person around, confessed his love to him:
"Yes, I like you. Will you be with your big brother?"
Lu Linzhou was stunned.
His brother actually liked him! Liked him?!!
"How can real brothers be together?" Lu Linzhou said, aghast.
Oh, right. He was the fake young master. They weren't real brothers anymore.
"Even if we're not now, I thought we were until today," Lu Linzhou said, unable to accept it.
But Cheng Linyan said, "Could you try not to think of me as your brother? Try to fall for your big brother."
The sky had fallen, the world had gone mad. His dad wasn't his real dad, his mom wasn't his real mom, and his brother was no longer just his brother, sob sob sob QAQ...
As always, this is more of a funny, sweet, satisfying romance. Feel free to bookmark it if you like!

Synopsis
Cheng Xiulin had a beloved white moonlight he couldn't forget. I always knew. I didn't mind being a stand-in; I was only afraid of missing my chance.
After pursuing him for three years, Cheng Xiulin finally accepted me. I had a boyfriend.
Six months into our relationship, news arrived about his white moonlight. He came back with a terminal illness.
I told him the news about his white moonlight, and he left...
Was it true that a stand-in's ending was to be left with nothing?
No. Someone once said, "Other people might not be able to tell roses from China roses, but anyone who grows flowers can."
[PS: One-on-one, both leads sexually inexperienced. The familiar tangled setup with a CEO, a stand-in, and a white moonlight, but no actual stand-in, and the white moonlight is a good person.]
Theme: If you like someone, you should bravely pursue them
