A possessive, scheming, petty old fox of a seme × a gentle, refined antique beauty of a uke (with a hidden flirtatious side)
What's it like to be reincarnated as the most despised member of a wealthy family? Su Yuan, courtesy name Fengzhi, is the best person to ask.
The original Su Yuan was a genuine wastrel, skilled in every kind of eating, drinking, and merrymaking. His father couldn't stand the sight of him, and his older brother loathed him too.
Then one day, after falling into the water, someone else took his place.
Su Yuan, a “fake wastrel” from the Tang dynasty, got an immersive taste of hostility from every direction.
The worst of it came from the original body's older brother, Su Qingchuan, who threatened and intimidated him, then put him through a full course of emotional manipulation before sending him to Shen Tinglan.
Yes, he would regret it terribly later.
Having taken someone else's identity, Su Yuan shouldered the responsibilities that came with it, cleared the original body's name, and mended the family's relationships.
Just as everything started looking up, the tender young cabbage caught the eye of the older man, Shen Tinglan.
What kind of man was Shen Tinglan? Deeply calculating, cold, and unfeeling. He had no heart at all.
Early on: “Don't waste your energy on someone like him.”
Later: “Wasn't he a wastrel? How can he be so obedient! I want to kiss him.”
Later still, after Shen Tinglan realized the person in front of him wasn't Su Yuan but Su Yuan's original identity, he shamelessly said something utterly at odds with his cold, abstinent face: “The wind stops at the waves, and the waves flow back into the deep. Fengzhi, my darling, we were made for each other.”
By a twist of fate, Su Yuan suddenly returned to his original body, and Shen Tinglan became constantly afraid that his beloved might suddenly disappear too. When his “illness” flared up, he pinned him against the wall, his madness showing through their intimate whispers: “You're mine. You can only be mine.”
The theme in a nutshell: I'll hold your hand and face everything with you. Wherever you go, I'll follow.
