   This is great! The low rating is probably due to low viewership. It's a rebirth story (with multiple characters), and the world-building is very interesting. In his previous life, he tried hard to be well-behaved but was disliked by his eccentric parents (he never loved them). In this life, he won't be redeemed. He learns to play the victim to gain the affection of people other than his parents, including his older brother (cousin). Then he gets revenge on his eccentric parents. The protagonist isn't a naive and innocent character; he wants to take revenge on those who bullied him in his previous life, including his adoptive parents who abandoned him. The protagonist is a real young master, but the fake young master is also a good person, suffering a lot. It's not a wish-fulfillment story; it's bittersweet at first, then sweet (ongoing). There's a side couple and cameos from characters in other books by the author. The romance only develops after the characters reach adulthood. It's really, really good! 😢😢😢😢

   I highly recommend "The Real and Fake Young Master"! It's incredibly good. Don't be put off by the title; the author has a wildly imaginative mind. The young master is a well-behaved boy at first, but his personality changes drastically later on. He's back to clubbing and chasing girls just like before. He always thought he was a fake and couldn't accept his family's kindness, but it turns out it was just a soul swap involving several lifetimes. It's really good! The side couple is also very engaging, and each story is very well-developed. I cried so much when Jiang Feng left 😢😢😢, I felt so sorry for him!

    Xie Ji wakes up from a dream to find himself transmigrated into the body of a cannon fodder fake young master in a popular novel. His mission is to maximize the favorability of the aloof real young master and protect him from being harmed by scumbags. Because he's to serve as a control group for the real young master, his parents "ruthlessly" send him to a farming reality show. However, Xie Ji isn't discouraged. His famous line, "Tears soak my pork trotter rice, I'm a cow, I'll work like a madman," sets him on a unique "domineering CEO" path, gradually revealing his "fake aloofness, real cunning" side in his interactions with the real young master. This is a bizarre 1v1 story with a clean slate, featuring an extremely abstract fake young master as the bottom and a mentally unstable top on the verge of exploding. What kind of strange sparks will fly between them? It's truly something to look forward to!
