After spending eighteen years as a brash, spoiled young master, Chu Li suddenly awakened to the fact that the world he lived in was a novel called The Insane CEO Can’t Love Me This Much: Where Can My Sweet Husband Run? And the novel’s male lead was his older brother.
Chu Li thought about it. His brother was kind of neurotic in everyday life, but wasn’t he a little too far from the point of kidnapping, bondage, a replacement lover, and kidney removal? That stuff’s criminal, for crying out loud!
The Chu family might be powerful and wealthy, but they weren’t powerful enough to rule all of City A. In the novel, his brother got away with doing all those things because nobody found out, and the other guy eventually forgave him. That was the only reason the whole thing didn’t become public knowledge.
But what if it did?!
Wouldn’t that mean the end of the Chu family?!
No, no, no. He hadn’t had enough of being the Chu family’s young master yet. But his older brother looked so elegant, immaculate, and refined. No matter how Chu Li looked at him, he didn’t seem like the insane man described in the book. Was this what they meant by a beast in gentleman’s clothing?
Or was the whole novel just made up?
But just as Chu Li decided to trust his own brother, one morning he heard the dignified old butler, who had worked for the family for more than twenty years, say, “The young master hasn’t smiled in a long time.”
Chu Li: ? His brother had laughed his head off while watching a comedy yesterday. Wasn’t he the one who did that?
Then, one night, he ran into Doctor Xu, who was hurrying along with a tense expression.
Doctor Xu adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. Usually so composed and self-possessed, he now looked completely shaken. “Your brother said he’d make my whole family join me in the grave.”
Chu Li: ?!
He turned around, grabbed the chainsaw by the door, and started sawing through it. “Bro, did you forget that our family is supposed to be making a marriage alliance with the Xu family?!”
Theme: My fate is mine to decide, not Heaven’s.
