After Marrying a Brooding Mogul, I Became a Sensation

Lin Sui wakes up inside a book as the disabled, brooding protagonist's decoy husband.

In the original story, his parents sell him to a man seven years older. Furious, he abuses and humiliates the powerful man in every way, only for the man to turn the tables, break both his legs, and dump him in a trash heap. In the end, Lin Sui's own actions get him killed.

When Lin Sui arrives, he's at the wedding. He is just about to make a run for it when he meets the man's gloomy gaze.

The man sits in a wheelchair, darkness roiling in his eyes as a chill flashes across his face.

Lin Sui: !

Feeling the healthy legs he never dared dream of in his past life, Lin Sui nervously retreats and decides he'd better behave and be a husband in name only, then pack up and leave when the powerful man wants a divorce.

After the wedding, Lin Sui sees that the man's legs are disabled just like his were in his past life. Feeling a kinship with him, he unconsciously shuffles closer.

Poor thing. I should help him.

On an outing to pray at a temple, he sincerely kneels and asks for a beaded bracelet, which he ties around the man's pale wrist. He looks up with bright, sparkling almond-shaped eyes and says in a clear voice, “This will help you get better.”

The powerful man has no income, and they can barely afford groceries. Lin Sui puts his old skills to use, livestreaming and becoming an online influencer. He works hard to make sure the man eats well and puts on weight. “Don't worry, I'll support us!”

When nasty relatives show up to pick a fight, the man is so upset he shuts himself in his room to heal alone. Lin Sui bares his teeth and drives them out, then gathers the man in his arms and gently reassures him, “It's all right. They don't want you, but I do!”

The more Lin Sui pities him, the more he realizes he may have lost his heart.

But the male lead belongs with the protagonist. Lin Sui spends all night hiding under the covers, then decides to steal the powerful man away.

Armed with romance tips he found online, Lin Sui braces himself on one hand and wheelchairs the powerful man into a corner. “Man, don't tempt me.”

The powerful man, trying to make his husband a loving breakfast: “?”

Later, the man's legs heal, and he turns the tables, reclaiming everything he'd lost. Lin Sui happily packs his little bag, ready to set off and fulfill his dream.

The beautiful landscapes I never got to see in my past life, here I come!

Lin Sui is rubbing his hands in excitement, but before he can even open the car door, the powerful man sweeps him into his arms. The man's voice is warm and low. “Be good. I'll go with you.”

Lin Sui: !

Later, Lin Sui lies in bed, clutching his aching lower back and weeping with regret.

At this rate, I'll never get out of the house!

On the day Lin Sui tries to run away, Gu Nian pins him against the sofa. His eyes are bloodshot and his voice hoarse. “Do you love me?”

Lin Sui curls in on himself and timidly shakes his head.

“...”

That day, Gu Nian finally realizes that his sunshine doesn't love him. Lin Sui has only stayed by his side because he pities him.

Now his legs are healed, and his sunshine is about to go warm someone else.

Hah. Not a chance.

His sunshine is only allowed to shine on him.

Gu Nian has always believed Lin Sui is madly in love with him.

Then one day, Lin Sui tearfully says he only pities him, and Gu Nian's world comes crashing down.

You don't love me? Then I'll keep you locked up until you do.

Gu Nian: Pure love (^▽^)

Lin Sui: Forced love T﹏T

(Just kidding. The seme is a model gentleman who dotes on his wife. It's a sweet little story.)
