As Ji Wuwei lay dying, he was consumed by resentment. After death, he clung to one last breath and spent five hundred years in the cultivation world.
As he was about to ascend, his lingering obsession caused the lightning tribulation to strike him back to the modern world.
Five hundred years had passed in the cultivation world, but only five years had passed in the modern world.
Five years ago, just before dying, Ji Wuwei learned that he was the villainous male supporting character in a book. As the real young master, he was destined to die a miserable death.
The child he had fathered with an unknown man was a cannon-fodder supporting character in another book, destined to give everything for the protagonist and die covered in scandals.
The protagonists of these two books were a fake young master and the adopted son of a fake young master.
Having just returned five years later, Ji Wuwei looked up and saw a hugely popular parent-child variety show being broadcast live on a giant screen in the plaza.
A five-year-old child with features much like his own was being used as a foil for the fake young master and his son, and was being hated on by netizens.
Seeing that the kid was about to break his leg in a fall and then get smeared and vilified across the internet, Ji Wuwei laughed in anger.
And so...
During the live broadcast of the hugely popular parent-child variety show, a scheming kid tried to push his adopted brother down the stairs but fell himself. Ji Wuwei leapt more than ten meters and caught him safely.
On the first day of the broadcast, Ji Wuwei went viral.
#A mysterious master of ancient martial arts appears on a variety show?#
#Did that scheming kid deserve to be rescued?#
#Are the scheming kid and the gorgeous ancient martial arts master father and son?#
On the second day of the broadcast, Ji Wuwei and the kid both went viral.
#Is the scheming kid actually a naive sweetheart? Is the pampered adopted brother the real schemer?#
On day N of the broadcast...
#The story of two generations of real young masters in one family, both treated like fools#
Ji Wuwei got ahead of things and brought the kid to find the adopted-son protagonist's biggest golden finger after he grew up: a lonely, top-tier tycoon from a powerful family with a massive inheritance. He pushed the kid into the man's arms. "Here's your heir. Want him? He's your biological son."
Bonus scene:
Not long after successfully pawning off the kid, Ji Wuwei became a treasured guest whom all the great families vied to host.
The younger members of those families ran around serving him and trying all kinds of ways to please him.
Somehow, they found out that Ji Wuwei liked handsome men. One day, they took him to a high-end club and brought in eighteen top male models for him to choose from.
Ji Wuwei, who considered himself single, was dazzled. No wonder he had carefully picked a family he liked. They really knew how to please him.
Just as he was having trouble choosing, the luxurious, noisy private room fell silent. Ji Wuwei reluctantly turned his gaze away, then looked toward the doorway, where a tall and a small figure stood in the dim light.
A handsome, dignified man in a perfectly tailored suit held a child who looked just like him. The older man's brows were lowered and his gaze was dark; the younger one's eyes were brimming with tears as he stared pitifully at Ji Wuwei. Both of them were staring right at him.
The younger members of the great families at first: Holy crap, the cold-faced demon king of the Qi family finally showed up, and in a place like this? Isn't it inappropriate to bring a kid to pick up male models?
The younger members of the great families later: Help! We accidentally ordered eighteen male models for the cold-faced demon king's other half. Will we live to see tomorrow's sun?
