[Two male leads, one-on-one romance + truly villainous + self-serving + everyone but the love interest gets their own crematorium + male rivalry love triangle + secret identities]
Gu Chuqi awakened to the truth and realized he was the vicious cannon-fodder fake young master in a novel. He kept picking on the pampered, scheming real young master, and in the end was thrown out and left to die in a mass grave.
That's just awful. Gu Chuqi decided to be even worse!
The real young master wants to act up? Get down and grovel!
Third brother wants to play favorites? Here's a slap.
Dad wants to kick him out? Just try it. He'll put all your family's dirty laundry online! It never happened? He can make up a rumor. Don't you care about your stock price?
Fiance or whoever, he doesn't care what kind of powerful family you're from. Gu Chuqi can do whatever he wants in the imperial capital!
Everyone mocked him for being useless and not holding a candle to the real young master. Gu Chuqi never bothered to explain. Putting on a spectacular show was much more fun.
Later, Gu Chuqi discovered that all the powerful people in the imperial capital had something wrong with them. They all liked getting slapped by him.
Onlookers: What is that fragrant slap in the air? Have they all gone mad?
The real young master's fan club, his domineering CEO eldest brother, top-tier star third brother, arrogant fiance... even his unhinged junior brother all switched sides: What do you know? Chuqi's slaps are medicinal!
Even his yandere second brother joined in.
Gu Chuqi: What a nuisance. I'm not interested. Get in line for the crematorium yourselves.
A mysterious big shot: They all want to be cured. I'm different. I just want my darling to hit me.
(The protagonist is truly villainous and self-serving, with an unexpected cute side. If that's not your thing, don't force yourself to read.)
