"Gentle Control" is a modern urban BL novel, tagged with deep, angsty love and forceful possession.

The protagonist, the bottom Ethan Brooks, is a favored child of destiny—born into a prestigious family, cold and ascetic, attracting a crowd of (psychotic) admirers. From the gentle upperclassman to the obsessive CEO to the tsundere rival, these top dogs are all at the pinnacle of their respective fields, yet all go mad for him.

After a series of heart-wrenching and physically torturous events, the three decide to join forces to bring down the The Brooks Family, imprison Ethan Brooks, break his pride, and turn him into a pet who can only rely on them.

While the readers wailed, "Wuwuwu, this is so intense!"

William Carter was already driven mad with anger, couldn't stand reading this eye-burning novel any longer, cursed "idiot," and quickly logged off.

But after a nap, he transmigrated.

He became the third young master of the The Carter Family, the one who, in the novel, was only briefly mentioned, destined to die of a terminal illness, and was Ethan Brooks's childhood friend.

William Carter was quite upset, but he had already made up his mind—those three idiots, don't even think about getting close to his little childhood friend!

*

Ethan Brooks was born cold and indifferent, and in two lifetimes had never tasted the feeling of loving someone, nor the feeling of being protected.

After toppling three families and avenging his enemies, he was reborn at fifteen, hiding the violence and darkness in his heart, disguising himself as the gentle, clear-eyed youth he once was.

Everything was the same as before, except for that little childhood friend from his previous life, who had only existed as a vague, gray memory—this time, he was completely different.

Like a spring breeze thawing frozen earth, someone in the abyss held his bloodstained hand.

William Carter tore up a confession letter in frustration, puffing up with anger: "Don't pay attention to those people, don't believe their sweet talk, they're all scum, their so-called love is worthless, don't like them, okay?"

Ethan Brooks gazed at him for a long time, then smiled: "Okay, I won't like them."

I only like you.

CP: Reborn top X Transmigrated bottom

Chapter 1: Transmigrated Into a Book

"Gentle Control" is a modern urban BL novel, tagged with deep, angsty love and forceful possession, with a crazed top and a bottom who suffers miserably.

By all rights, someone as straight as William Carter would never have come across this novel in his life—except that there was a side character in the story who shared his name.

Because of this, his cousin sneakily recommended the book to him.

[Bro, there's a character in the book with the same name as you]

[Wanna try opening the door to a new world?]

William Carter happened to be hospitalized with an illness, bored with nothing to do, so he raised an eyebrow and started reading.

The plot of "Gentle Control" is divided into two parts. The first part takes place during high school, when the protagonist is a pitiful little thing.

The protagonist's mother was naive and ignorant, seduced by the sweet words of the scumbag Ethan Brooks Jr. when she was young, and became his mistress.

When Ethan Brooks Jr.'s wife found out, she was consumed by jealousy, disfigured the protagonist's mother, and drove her out of City A.

Unable to accept reality, the protagonist's mother jumped to her death on the seventh night in the new city, right in front of the protagonist.

It goes without saying what kind of psychological trauma this left on Ethan Brooks.

It was the old lady living across the hall, childless and grandchildless, who took pity on him and adopted him.

Ethan Brooks's life from childhood was filled with malice—bullied by the brats in the hallway, gossiped about by the women in the neighborhood, who speculated with the worst intentions about his mother, saying she died of disease from selling herself, and that he probably wasn't clean either.

Old buildings, cramped alleys, a bumpy vegetable market, and all kinds of nasty rumors made up his twisted childhood.

These experiences caused the deep-seated inferiority and fragility in Ethan Brooks's bones, and also set the stage for him to fall for scumbags just because of a little warmth.

The story begins when Ethan Brooks enters high school.

With the top score in the city on the entrance exam, Ethan Brooks was admitted to the elite class at Jingcheng No.1 High School.

There were two types of students in the elite class: those with top grades, and those with powerful family backgrounds.

If Ethan Brooks had only belonged to the first group, it would have been fine, but he also inherited his mother's beauty—cool and aloof, strikingly handsome. As soon as he enrolled, he caught the attention of a perverted rich second-generation student in the class. This rich kid harassed him every day, said all kinds of nasty things, the others egged him on, and the teacher turned a blind eye.

Ethan Brooks stayed silent, pretending not to hear. Until the rich kid went too far one day and said about his mother, "With that foxy look of yours, your mom must have been a whore, right?" Ethan Brooks snapped, eyes red with rage, and nearly beat him to death that day.

Because of this, he was publicly criticized by the whole school. The rich kid was humiliated and bore a deep grudge against him.

That's when the first top appeared. He was the rich kid's cousin, a notorious playboy in the capital, who only came to Jingcheng No.1 High to avoid his family's old man. He took one look at Ethan Brooks and was hooked by his cold allure, and started all kinds of flirting. He pretended to be gentle, indulged his cousin's mischief, then timed it perfectly to swoop in as the savior and win Ethan Brooks's favor.

Having only ever received cold malice, Ethan Brooks was protected and respected for the first time. He gradually became confused and moved, not even sure if it was love, and was especially obedient to the first top.
