Mixed-Blood Daddy, the Stand-In Student Abroad Broke Up and Returned Home First!

Jian Luo is handsome and refined, with a sweet appearance and excellent grades. Everyone sees him as a well-behaved child. He goes abroad to study with outstanding grades, becoming a model student in everyone's eyes.

But no one knows how many late nights Jian Luo spent studying to get overseas, until the dark circles around his eyes turned red.

At last, he makes it abroad, but hard work can't overcome the cruel twists of fate. As the discarded child of his family, he is cut off financially the moment their business runs into trouble.

Jian Luo is studying at a university in America. He has no money and is in debt, and the only person who has ever been kind to him, his auntie, is seriously ill in the hospital and needs a great deal of money to stay alive.

So Jian Luo enters an unconventional relationship. In this relationship, he is a substitute. His partner, Lan Yin Murphy, has an Eastern “white moonlight” he can never replace. Jian Luo knows this from the beginning, and they have been completely clear with each other.

As a materialistic gold digger who keeps love at arm's length, Jian Luo thinks there's nothing wrong with that!

He can get away from his family, continue his studies, and pay for his auntie's treatment. This relationship takes a huge burden off his shoulders.

At first, when Lan Yin is feeling down, Jian Luo quietly stays by his side.

When Lan Yin gets drunk, Jian Luo takes good care of him.

When Lan Yin loses himself drinking and fooling around with his unsavory friends at a bar, he calls Jian Luo over. Jian Luo always shows up at once to look after him, keep him company, and take him home.

At first, Lan Yin thinks Jian Luo is too obedient, lacking the wild streak of a spirited horse.

Later, Lan Yin realizes he's fallen in love with this Eastern gentleness, the gentleness that belongs only to Jian Luo. He doesn't want to share it with anyone. It's the one thing he looks forward to after each exhausting day.

Lan Yin can't forget Jian Luo's eyes, his gentle thoughtfulness, or the way Jian Luo hurried over to see him and clumsily stumbled into his arms.

Ever since Jian Luo came into his life, the light at home has always been left on for him.

Lan Yin decides it's time. He has a diamond ring made and gets ready to propose to Jian Luo.

But Jian Luo packs his things. “Time's up. I'm going back home. Let's break up.”

A wise man doesn't fall in love! As a conscientious substitute, he has done everything he was supposed to! Lan Yin seems to have recovered from his heartbreak, so Jian Luo can bow out at the top of his game and leave behind a legend!

But Jian Luo never expects Lan Yin to chase after him. “Luoluo, what if I told you that you're the only one I've ever loved?”

The moonlight is just an empty illusion.

But you are my eternal reality.

Recommended upcoming novel: Your Majesty, I Didn't Spread Rumors

Xie Jiu transmigrates into the body of a powerful minister. Before he can celebrate, he discovers that this is a treacherous official who was executed by a tyrant.

During the seven years of the tyrant's reign, he personally led a campaign. The Left Chancellor opposed his decision and insisted that the army withdraw, so the tyrant was furious and poisoned the Left Chancellor. His corpse floated for a thousand miles.

Xie Jiu recalls the passage in the book:

In the rain, Emperor Chu wears white robes, the rainwater glinting faintly on his clothes.

“Fine. Kill him.”

His dark eyes disappear into the rainy night, his white robes like a ghost's.

Xie Jiu shudders at the memory of the description.

So Xie Jiu claims to be ill and stays home, retiring to the countryside at just over twenty.

As Xie Jiu wanders the streets and sips tea, he inevitably runs into court officials and members of the imperial family.

Young Marquis: “Left Chancellor, isn't that the jade pendant at your waist the one His Majesty wore as a child?”

Vice Minister of Rites: “Left Chancellor, is that hair ribbon on your head an imperial gift?”

Junior Minister of the Court of Judicial Review: “Left Chancellor, aren't the glass beads on your wrist a tribute from Danzhou? I heard the Dowager Consort asked for them several times but never got any!”

Xie Jiu has a sudden idea.

That's right. If he says he's close to the tyrant, no one will come after him.

Besides worrying about how the story will end, Xie Jiu realizes he's not a very likable person. He seems to run into enemies wherever he goes, and his life is in danger.

So Xie Jiu lets the rumors spread, even occasionally flaunting imperial gifts to add fuel to the fire.

Everyone says the Left Chancellor and the Emperor are lovers.

The Emperor hasn't taken a consort all these years, so he must be gay. Turns out the Left Chancellor has ensnared him.

Xie Jiu: “...What does it have to do with me whether you take a consort or not? You're the one who wants to spend your life alone, so I'll gladly take advantage of the rumors.”

Who could have guessed that one day, Emperor Yongle would put an arm around him and ask in a chilly, amused voice that sent shivers down his spine, “Left Consort?”

Xie Jiu: “My surname is Xie. I'm Consort Xie, not the Left Consort!”

Chu Youji looks at him with amusement. “Is that so?”

Xie Jiu: “...I was joking, Your Majesty?”

“Then Consort Xie it is. Guards, prepare a plaque for Consort Xie.”

·

The rumors spread further and further, and officials throughout the court begin to stir.

One faction: “Your Majesty, the Left Chancellor is spreading malicious rumors about the Son of Heaven, undermining your authority!”

One official: “The Left Chancellor has offended his superior. His crimes deserve death!”

One powerful minister: “The Left Chancellor is deliberately spreading rumors that he has a relationship with you, slandering the Son of Heaven! Please punish him to set the record straight!”

But then the Left Chancellor walks into court from inside the great hall.

He takes his place at the head of the officials on the left. His long black hair sways, and his slender frame stands tall.

No one knows that beneath that head of black hair, his skin is dotted with red marks.

Xie Jiu covers the back of his neck with his clothes and grits his teeth. “...Your Majesty, I didn't spread rumors.”

Chu Youji smiles ever so slightly. “My esteemed ministers, what do you think of making the Left Chancellor the mother of the nation, ruling the realm alongside me?”
