Shen Li lived like a wild man in the countryside for over ten years, only to wake up one day and discover he was actually the legendary “true young master” of a wealthy family. His family brought him back for one reason: to take someone else’s place in an arranged marriage. His fiancé was said to be rich, powerful, and handsome, albeit a bit older. His family’s only hope was that he would spend the man’s money and squeeze out some extra benefits for them.
To Shen Li, this sounded like the perfect opportunity to land a sugar daddy. He had no hobbies other than a deep, abiding love for money. He played the part of the obedient, sweet, and admiring younger brother, even sacrificing a bit of his innocence with kisses and hugs when the moment called for it. With a beautiful, innocent face and a crisp voice, he called the man “Brother” at every turn. It only took moments to coax the older man into handing over both his heart and his wallet, setting the “old house” of the man’s heart on fire.
Whenever Shen Li made a mistake, he just had to call him “Brother,” and someone would be there to clean up the mess. If he was bullied, a soft cry of “Husband” would bring the man running to back him up. The only downside was the physical toll of his punishments, which often left him unable to sit comfortably, forced to lie across the culprit’s lap in silent fury. Despite his overbearing possessiveness, the legendary, cold-blooded man turned out to be incredibly clingy once in love, granting Shen Li’s every wish for property and wealth without a second thought.
Once he had pocketed enough money, Shen Li decided it was time to retire. He packed his bags and prepared to flee under the cover of night. However, the moment he opened the door, he found the man standing there waiting for him. As his luggage hit the floor with a thud, Shen Li stammered, “Actually… I was just so excited to get married that I couldn’t wait. Do you believe me?”
Gu Yunzhao smiled as warmly as ever. “That’s wonderful.”
Gu Yunzhao never expected his first birthday gift to be a little wife. When Shen Li was sent to his home at eighteen, he was sweet, beautiful, and called him “Brother” incessantly. Gu Yunzhao initially thought he was a fragile porcelain doll, only to realize later that he was a little scammer. He saw right through Shen Li’s clumsy tricks and sweet talk, yet he willingly fell for them every time. He simply couldn’t help it; he loved him.
Even when he was angry or jealous, Gu Yunzhao only dared to steal a kiss on the back of the boy’s hand while drunk. He told himself his wife was just too young and merely needed proper guidance for his harmless mistakes. He never expected the little scammer to have no heart at all, planning to run away the moment he had collected enough money.
Having stolen his heart, did the boy really think he could just leave? Gu Yunzhao decisively stepped in to keep him by his side. He took the luggage with one hand and pinned Shen Li’s wrists into his chest with the other. “Baby, weren’t you in a hurry to get married? Why do you look so unhappy?”
“I’m happy, I’m happy,” Shen Li sobbed, his voice trembling. “Brother, can you just give me a moment to prepare myself? I really can’t take any more…”
