1.
After many years, Fu Qiao learns that his adoptive mother's son has been found.
Eighteen years ago, after his parents died, he was found by a woman whose own child had gone missing. She adopted him, then later married into a prestigious family, and he became the eldest son of the Fu family.
Now the DNA test results are in, but his adoptive mother has already passed away, so Fu Qiao is the only one who can meet the other man.
Gu Suizhi walks in, pale and gloomy, and silently fixes his gaze on Fu Qiao.
Fu Qiao extends a hand. "Hello, it's nice to meet you. I'm your... older brother."

Gu Suizhi doesn't fit in with this family.
They say the family that adopted him after he was kidnapped treated him terribly. He must have suffered a lot, leaving him withdrawn and difficult to get along with.
Fu Qiao asks his younger sister to have a heart-to-heart with Gu Suizhi. After all, she is the biological child his adoptive mother had after marrying into the Fu family, so they share a mother.
That night, for reasons no one can explain, his younger sister and younger brother get into a fight.
As the eldest brother, Fu Qiao has to step in and break it up. The moment he finishes, someone gives him a spiked drink.

His younger sister drugs him, but Fu Qiao is... beaten to the punch by his younger brother, who arrives just in time.
Absurd. Fu Qiao flies into a rage.
He grabs an ashtray and hurls it at Gu Suizhi by the bed. Gu Suizhi's head splits open, but his expression doesn't change.
He takes Fu Qiao's hand and licks the blood splashed across his wrist.
Fu Qiao is speechless.
As he watches blood drip from Gu Suizhi's forehead, and sees those eyes so like his adoptive mother's, memories of how she raised him rise one after another. Eerily, Fu Qiao calms down.
"...That's enough."
He tries to storm out, but Gu Suizhi catches him from behind.
Hot breath, mixed with the scent of blood, washes over him.
Gu Suizhi's fingers lock around Fu Qiao's waist. He takes out his phone, snaps a close-up selfie of them together, and nuzzles Fu Qiao's shoulder with his chin.
"Big brother."

Gu Suizhi first saw Fu Qiao a long time ago.
Bullies had locked him in a bathroom stall and soaked him with dirty water. Fu Qiao opened the stall door, looked at him in surprise, then offered him a tissue and gave him the jacket off his own back.
Later, at a school assembly held to thank Fu Qiao for his donation, he saw him again.
Fu Qiao was handsome, well-spoken, and the center of everyone's attention, every inch the elegant young master.
Gu Suizhi followed in Fu Qiao's footsteps, recreated his resume, and studied until he became a star student like him, all so that one day he could stand in front of Fu Qiao.
Then one day,
Fu Qiao became his older brother.
His mother had given him a wife in the form of a brother.
An obsessive, unhinged ghost of a gong x a composed, universally adored, outstanding beauty of a shou
1v1, happy ending, both virgins
When his brother's hand comes slapping over, the scent reaches him first, then the slap. The instant that fragrance fills his nose, the burning feeling on his cheek is no longer pain. It's pleasure. (Meme source: the internet)
A true universally adored big brother.
His younger sister likes him too. Not one person in this family is normal. They're all insane.
Both are strong. The shou has an incredibly strong sense of self-worth. He hasn't stolen anyone else's life, so don't get worked up on his behalf.
I'll add more if I think of anything else.
