『Late-Blooming Osmanthus』
BL, Republican era, Step-mother trope, Intersex (⚠️ trigger warning) RepublicanEra #YoungerTop #StepMotherTrope #Intersex #PseudoIncest #ParanoidTop #GentleBottom #Mansion #Taboo #SlowBurn #SizeDifference Qin Wangshu is twenty-three, and on the night he returned from Nanyang, his father told him to call Su Huaijin "Little Mom." Su Huaijin is twenty-six, 179cm, three years older than him, and was redeemed from a brothel by Master Qin three years ago. The day Su Huaijin entered the Qin household, he told Master Qin about his body—he is intersex, and he didn't want to hide it. Master Qin didn't drive him away after hearing this, only saying, "Then you shall live in the backyard; no one will know." So Master Qin knows. But Qin Wangshu does not. At first, Qin Wangshu thought Su Huaijin only entered the Qin household out of greed for money. He looked down on him, made things difficult for him, and walked around him, but later he began taking detours just to run into him in his courtyard. Su Huaijin keeps to the rules, avoids him, and has drawn a line in his heart. But he doesn't know that Qin Wangshu has already crossed many lines without realizing it. There is an osmanthus tree in the backyard of the Qin house. When Su Huaijin waters it every day, he doesn't know someone is watching him from behind the study window. Master Qin waits for that light to go out every night before he sleeps, not knowing his own son is standing behind another window. The one who fell first is twenty-three, and hasn't figured out how to end this yet.
I will take over everything in the Qin family, including you.
