[Adorable little mushroom bottom x dark, twisted, possessive top with dissociative identity disorder]
Ji Cen was timid and insecure, and had never done anything out of line. Then he learned that he was actually the vicious cannon-fodder character in a novel: gloomy, vain, and consumed by jealousy.
He would cling to the male lead, frame the protagonist's love interest, and ultimately get face-slapped and punished, meeting a tragic end that would have readers cheering.
To escape the cannon-fodder plotline, he seduced the protagonist's love interest's white moonlight, cutting ties with the male lead in the process.
Ning Songwen was the white moonlight the protagonist's love interest could never have.
He was the young master of the richest Ning family, who had been lost to them. Handsome and resilient, he was cold and aloof. Before returning to the Ning family, he had made his fortune from nothing and become a rising star in business. After returning, he was every bit the favored son of heaven, an untouchable moon in the sky.
When Ji Cen confessed to Ning Songwen without any preparation, Ning Songwen simply and firmly said, "All right."
Ji Cen: "Huh? Do you know what I mean?"
Ning Songwen: "It means I'm yours alone."
Ning Songwen was domineering and controlling, taking charge of every inch of Ji Cen's life. He loved him deeply, cherishing him as if he might melt in his mouth and wanting to spoil him rotten.
Ji Cen didn't dare deceive someone like Ning Songwen, but he also didn't dare bring up breaking up, afraid of falling back into the vicious-cannon-fodder plotline.
Drunk, he confided the truth to a friend:
"Ning Songwen isn't my type. I don't like him..."
"I'm only using him for my own purposes."
"The person I like is a man who looks up to me like a puppy and longs for my love forever..."
After that, Ning Songwen often went on business trips and loosened his hold on Ji Cen. Ji Cen nearly thought he was being given the cold shoulder until they broke up, and felt both hopeful and sad.
Then Ning Songwen's twin brother appeared.
He looked almost exactly like Ning Songwen. Their features, voices, and height were indistinguishable. Without a few distinctive little habits, Ji Cen couldn't tell them apart at all.
He was the perfect embodiment of Ji Cen's ideal type: cheerful, smiling, and puppy-like, able to fulfill all of Ji Cen's fantasies about love...
His existence left Ji Cen confused, hesitant, and conflicted...
Ji Cen decided to leave them both and completely abandon Ning Songwen after having his way with him!
One night, while packing his bags to leave the home he shared with Ning Songwen, Ji Cen received a mysterious phone call.
Ning Songwen's twin brother had died in a car accident fifteen years ago.
The lights in the house went out in an instant. Ning Songwen walked in and locked the door. His expression darkened as he looked at the conspicuous hickey on Ji Cen's neck that wasn't his.
"Baby, who are you packing to go find?"
"Do I have to lock you up before you'll choose me?"
But there had never been a choice for him to make.
Reading guide:
1. One-on-one, both are each other's first.
2. The older brother is the main personality, and the younger brother is the alter. In the early and middle parts, the older brother has forgotten that his brother is dead, creating a false sense of forbidden romance. Please avoid if that bothers you.
3. The one the bottom truly loves is the main personality. His feelings for the younger brother are not romantic.
4. Content warning: The top is extremely possessive and crazy, with a strong need for control. He acts very well-behaved in front of others, though, and later even gets piercings. He is not actually the positive, unattainable white moonlight character!!! There are wall scenes, but the bottom is very willing. (The author is very tacky, truly very tacky.)
