The Hated Fake Young Master Is Reborn

Three months in seclusion...

I managed to improve myself. Starting today, I'll resume daily updates until the end.

Next book: After Mistaking a Big Shot for a Companion AI. Feel free to add it to your reading list!

Note from 3/13

I don't recommend that those of you who want to read this start now, because when I was halfway through writing it, the author was going through a difficult period. And because of that, even after finishing it, I couldn't bring myself to start writing again. I tossed and turned, not knowing how to put pen to paper.

I feel like I've let Ning Yu down. But I have to finish this. The one about Xiao Yu was also conceived after that difficult period. I'll try to finish the entire thing before posting it, and won't release it chapter by chapter.

If you've already read it, I'll do my best to send you a red packet as compensation., Note from 3/23

A domineering gong with an intense possessive streak, two-faced in public and private * a sickly, world-weary beauty shou

In his previous life, Ning Yu was arrogant and overbearing, hated by everyone.

After being reborn, he finally realized.

His status as a young master was fake. So was being universally despised. Everything, absolutely everything, was a lie.

The glamorous identity he'd worn on the outside had long since rotted him from within.

At last, Ning Yu saw the truth. He gave it all up, abandoned his hypocritical adoptive parents, moved out, and watched the business empire he'd built with his life's work in his previous life crumble to dust.

He felt freer than ever before, yet was also more lost than ever.

His frail body left Ning Yu no choice but to start taking care of himself. He raised lots of flowers and plants, got a pet, and even started dating someone.

But his new boyfriend, who seemed so gentle and kind, appeared to be a wolf lurking in the shadows.

Then his boyfriend suddenly transformed into his mortal enemy from his previous life, the head of the Fu family.

Only then did Ning Yu realize that the man's gaze had been full of possessiveness from the very beginning.

As if he'd spotted his prey, waiting patiently to draw him in, then drag him back to his lair, peel him apart, and devour him whole.

Ning Yu didn't know that when the parents who had once treated him as if he didn't exist hurried to find him, this refined yet ruthless man had already stopped them at the door.

"Dare come near my beloved again, and, "

His deep, shadowed gaze made the couple's knees go weak.

Only then did they truly understand that Ning Yu had become someone far beyond their reach.

*

"Are you trying to get yourself killed again?!"

The man, who thought Ning Yu had died just as he had in his previous life, clutched the frail figure tightly, gritting his teeth, his voice full of anguish.

Ning Yu's slender waist was trapped in a crushing grip, making him ache.

A tear welled in Ning Yu's eyes, traced his skin, and fell into a hidden place

"Let go first."

Fu Sicheng only moved closer, tightening his hold and leaving his mark like a wolfhound. "You can never leave me in this life."

*

Ning Yu is in poor health and suffers from a rare condition.

When it flares up, his body becomes incredibly weak, the corners of his eyes redden, and he grows sensitive.

He feels better when someone stays by his side.

Because of this condition, Fu Sicheng is always holding him in his arms.

Peach blossoms bloom across his pale face.

Tears spill from the corners of Ning Yu's eyes, already tinged red.

"Didn't you say you were only going to help me?"

"Good boy."

"I'll make you feel good."

A little preview of my upcoming book

[The Little Bird Wants It, the Little Bird Gets It!]

The world collapsed, and a little phoenix transmigrated.

The little phoenix looked down at his white downy feathers, slender claws, and red beak.

Only then did he realize that he'd gone from a magnificent, noble phoenix to a scruffy bird, round as a ball.

The scruffy little ball shrieked angrily: "Caw! Caw-caw-caw!!!"

Scruffy little ball: ...

Wait, where was his beautiful, high-pitched, melodious phoenix cry?!

*

Believing in the principle of lying flat wherever life knocks you down, the little phoenix was convinced that even as a puffed-up ball of feathers, he was still the best in the world.

That was, until the little ball ran into the System:

[For the sake of the world!]

[Go win over that villain!]

[Save the villain? I'm just a scruffy bird that goes caw-caw.]

The little phoenix turned his back. [Find someone else for the job.]

The System said in a hollow voice: [If you don't save every world, they'll all be destroyed, including the world you came from, ]

Little phoenix: ?!

The scruffy little ball arrived at the scene where the villain was being bullied.

*

After enduring countless torments, Zhe Jiling was reborn.

Just as he was about to destroy the world along with himself again, a fluffy, clumsy little ball bravely rushed forward and pulled him back.

A little awkward.

Even

Stupid.

A wicked idea suddenly crossed Zhe Jiling's mind. He wanted to see what this foolish little creature was trying to do.

*

A battle.

The ruffled bird charged ahead first, determined to protect the villain.

Outmatched by the overwhelming difference in strength, the scruffy little ball's proud feathers drooped, and several feathers broke off its wings. Blood from the battle stained its body.

Even so, the blood-red little ball charged forward without hesitation, flapping its wings.

"Caw-caw-caw-caw!!!" I'll peck you to death, duck!

So stupid, Zhe Jiling thought.

No one had ever tried to protect someone else while they themselves were in danger.

Or was this bird just like everyone else, hoping to get something out of him?

Zhe Jiling moved a finger, and everyone who'd had the upper hand fell to the ground.

The battered bird could barely keep its eyes open. It stared at the people who'd suddenly collapsed and cautiously prodded them a few times with its claws.

At last, its fluffy chest puffed up with confidence.

"Caw-caw!"

I'm awesome, right?!

Then it cawed again. "Caw?" Are you okay?

Zhe Jiling thought that after all this time, its voice was still just as unpleasant.

"I'm fine." Zhe Jiling lowered his eyes and tapped its injured wing. "And stop squawking. It's awful."

The little ball flew into a rage and flapped about, trying to peck him.

Zhe Jiling, the notorious demon who had made a name for himself across the Three Realms, looked at the many demons fawning over him below, and the bird being praised so much it hid behind its wing roots.

His fingers tapped, and his expression gradually turned cold.

The song was for his ears alone.
