Xu Wangyan transmigrated into a wealthy-family novel.
The old shipping magnate is gravely ill, and the various branches of the family are locked in a vicious power struggle. In the end, the only son of the third branch takes over and inherits a fortune worth hundreds of billions.
Xu Wangyan is the illegitimate child of the eldest son of the first branch and a dancer, born from a one-night fling. He “follows in his mother’s footsteps” by dressing as a woman and dancing at a bar. When the second branch finds him, they make a big fuss and use him to smear the first branch.
Yep, a textbook cannon fodder character.
He can be cannon fodder, but he won’t be a pushover. Xu Wangyan kicks away a groper’s grabby hand and quits on the spot.
But then an SVIP customer specifically requests his company.
In the dim light, a man swirls a glass of amber liquor and sizes him up with an amused smile, his gaze lingering on the long, slender legs beneath Xu Wangyan’s short skirt. “So pretty. What’s your name?”
Xu Wangyan raises an eyebrow and sneers. “Call me your, ”
Before he can finish, the manager bows and pleads in a hushed voice, “Ah Yin, I can’t afford to offend this esteemed guest. Please do me a favor and have a drink with him.”
That night, Xu Wangyan doesn’t drink a drop, yet walks away with a hundred-thousand-yuan red envelope.
Later, he gets afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel, a Patek Philippe watch, and a custom Rolls-Royce.
...Not bad.
Turns out cross-dressing really is a case of either never or countless times. o.0
But as they spend more time together, his patron’s gaze grows increasingly suspicious. Xu Wangyan has no choice but to put a stop to it and flee in the middle of the night.
Half a month later, the second branch comes looking for him, just as the original novel predicted.
With a small fortune stashed away, Xu Wangyan refuses them haughtily. “I’m not interested. I don’t need the money.”
The second branch’s representative gives him a sinister look. “If you won’t work with us, then there’s no reason for you to stay in Hong Kong.”
The next second, the patron who had been left behind suddenly appears, casually slips an arm around Xu Wangyan’s waist, and asks the other man nonchalantly, “Second Brother, you know Yan Yan has had a hard time. Would you like to help me take care of him?”
Xu Wangyan: ???!

Gu Yu, the new head of the Gu family, is distinguished and ruthless, with power to cover the sky. Yet he has been deceived in love by a man dressed as a woman.
The whole of Hong Kong waits to see the man cut into pieces.
Instead, at the Gu family’s annual banquet, they watch Gu Yu hold out his hand to him, his gaze so tender it could melt into water. “Would you do me the honor of a dance?”
The young man is stunningly beautiful, but his temper is anything but. He glares haughtily at Gu Yu before finally allowing him to take his hand.
The man kisses the back of his hand, his smile widening. “Yan Yan is so well-behaved. Your uncle adores you.”

1. The shou is not the gong’s biological child. The gong knows this from the beginning. They are not related by blood and are not registered in the same household.
2. There is a twelve-year age gap.
3. The shou is beautiful and cross-dresses, but he’s eccentric, not a delicate flower.
4. This is a fictional setting! A fictional setting! A fictional setting! It has no connection to reality!
5. If you don’t like Hong Kong-style stories, run. If you don’t like cross-dressing, run. In short, if anything makes you uncomfortable, stop reading right away. Don’t force yourself.
