Flirtatious beauty bottom x scheming daddy top
His boyfriend is stolen, his adoptive parents despise him, and his biological father and mother don't care for him.
Only when death comes does Shen Yizhou learn that he is the real son in a wealthy-family, doted-on fake-versus-real heir novel on Green River, written as a foil to the fake heir.
He tries to endure his illness and learn how to be likable, but in the end he gets nothing and dies alone at twenty-three.
All the affection and tenderness go to the lively, dazzling fake heir.
Given another chance at life, he sees things clearly.
If he's going to die sooner or later, he might as well live without holding back.
The coveted second male lead role in a hit drama that the fake heir longs for, the awards and glory he pursues,
and the "uncle" he's secretly loved since childhood but could never have...
Only children have to choose.
He wants it all!
As for that irredeemable garbage, who cares? Keep it away from him.
-
Later, audition footage for Chang'an leaks unexpectedly.
Even as the fake heir seethes with rage, there's nothing he can do to stop the entire internet from searching for the unknown young man who "stole" his role.
Shen Yizhou becomes an overnight sensation.
Then a set of costume photos of him in white appears out of nowhere, and his popularity explodes even further. Douban builds a thousand-floor discussion thread overnight, and reservations pass ten million in twenty-four hours.
He shoots straight to the top of the trending charts.
After that,
the marketing accounts that once attacked Shen Yizhou lead the charge to push back against the haters. The actor who mocked him comes to apologize in person. Luxury brands compete to sign him, and one S-plus production after another comes his way.
Even that aloof, untouchable man personally clears the road ahead for him, staying by his side as he reaches the top.
On the night of the awards ceremony, Shen Yizhou stands beneath the dazzling lights, award in hand.
The "family" who once cast him aside now wear expressions of shock, regret, and disbelief.
He simply lifts his chin and gives them a beautiful, distant smile.
-
Backstage at the awards ceremony, Lu Yuchuan pins him against the wall.
Shen Yizhou tilts his head back, letting the man's kiss fall on his eyelashes.
"What else do you want?"
Shen Yizhou winds the man's tie twice around his fingers, then gives it a tug and pulls him down. Raising an eyebrow, he says, "What, Mr. Lu? Are you trying to seduce me with your looks?"
"My going rate is pretty high now..."
Shen Yizhou smiles and gestures with his fingers. "If you want to renew our contract... it's going to take at least this much."
① One-on-one, happy ending
② The bottom becomes a bit of a heartthrob later on. The fake heir really does like the top, but the top and bottom only love each other and will only ever return each other's feelings.
③ Coming soon: Is This Really the Emperor I Want to Be?
Fake airhead beauty bottom x scheming, wicked-dog minister top
Yan Chi, a famous gay influencer at A University, is swiping through Blued for attractive men one second, then transmigrates to a feudal era that's violently homophobic the next.
The good news: He's a prince.
The bad news: He's an unwanted, useless prince.
The old emperor is senile and growing frail, while every one of his sons is a ruthless killer. The succession struggle has reached a fever pitch, and one wrong word could cost Yan Chi his head.
Compared with his pack of scheming older brothers, college student Yan Chi is like a rabbit that has wandered into a fighting pit.
With the double debuffs of being useless and gay,
Yan Chi can only keep his head down.
At a palace banquet, he overhears the Sixth Prince, who had just been sucking up to Shen Yu and calling him "Teacher" this and that, mutter disdainfully behind his back: "Shen Yu is violent and lawless, and he likes men. You'd better stay away from him."
Yan Chi thinks of Lord Shen, who was drunk in the hall earlier: broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and the refined good looks of a top-tier dream man in the gay scene.
He thinks, The Sixth Prince has terrible taste.
-
In his previous life, Shen Yu held power over the entire court and rose to the highest position beneath the emperor.
Because of a promise made in his youth, he spent years planning and devoted himself to helping the Sixth Prince claim the throne.
But once his usefulness ended, the new emperor had the Censorate fabricate eighty-eight charges against him and sentenced him to be beheaded in the marketplace.
Before his execution, that man looked down at him from on high, his voice full of disgust:
"I always knew you had a thing for men. All that so-called loyal service was just because you wanted my body. It makes me sick."
Shen Yu thought the man was completely delusional.
When he opens his eyes again, he's back in the year when he was at the height of his power.
Night has fallen, and the Sixth Prince is waiting for him to come and swear an alliance.
Remembering how his tireless efforts ended in his previous life, Shen Yu sneers and turns away. Reborn, he will no longer be a dog wagging its tail for the imperial family. He will support a puppet, hold power in his own hands, and control the court.
As he considers the princes one by one, he looks down and spots the Ninth Prince hiding behind a corridor pillar.
Every servant lowers their head, holds their breath, and retreats in fear. Only the Ninth Prince watches him with clear, timid eyes.
The Ninth Prince is a pretty face with nothing beneath the surface: dull, useless, and uneducated.
In his previous life, Shen Yu never paid him any attention. He only remembers that the boy met a miserable end.
Shen Yu walks closer, then bends down to look at Yan Chi from above.
"Do you want to be emperor?"
The useless Ninth Prince stares blankly at his chest, looking stunned as though he's been frightened out of his wits.
Shen Yu lowers his voice, coaxing him. "If you want it, I can put you on the throne."
As if jolted awake from a dream, Yan Chi hastily covers his nosebleed and blurts, "Bro, your pecs are... really well trained."
Shen Yu: ?
Yan Chi comes to his senses. "...What did you just say? You want me to be emperor?"
"Huh? Me?"
#Can't be a regent, but I can be an empress, huh#
