Plans Have Changed: Prepare to Ascend the Throne

[A silly, pretty fool of a bottom who likes a little mischief × a refined, self-serving, scheming transmigrator into a book top]

Ninth Prince Xiao Ting's greatest wish in life is to cling to his Crown Prince brother's coattails, then receive a fief and a princely title so he can spend his days enjoying a life of carefree decadence.

Ordered by the Crown Prince to attend a matchmaking meeting, he finds not Miss Fei, but her elder brother Fei Shi, whose fame is known throughout the land.

The general, whose courtesy name is Jianghu, stands eight feet tall, broad and imposing, with the bearing of a gentleman. Unfortunately, he seems to have something wrong with his head. He claims that the two of them are doomed minor villains in a book, destined to join the Crown Prince's failed rebellion and die without a burial place, and that only an alliance can save them.

Xiao Ting smiles on the outside, but thinks, What nonsense. After seeing him out, he heads straight to the Eastern Palace to report him.

Instead, he walks right in on the Crown Prince trying on a newly made imperial robe.

Xiao Ting: O.O

It's too late to throw in his lot with another imperial brother. None of the royals are good people.

To save his own life, Xiao Ting comes up with a plan: he'll become a cut sleeve and withdraw from the succession struggle once and for all!

And his partner, naturally, will be his good friend Fei Shi, who knows the plot inside out.

He fans his brother through the dog days of summer and warms his bed in the bitter winter.

Aside from carving wood to suit his tastes, experimenting with delicious food, building a mansion for his own enjoyment, and teasing the students at the primary school, Xiao Ting keeps a low profile and never meddles in state affairs.

Until one day, he opens his eyes to find the court filled with solemnly standing officials. His good friend holds a crown in his hands and smiles at him with gentle elegance.

"Plans have changed. It's time to ascend the throne."

Fei Shi has transmigrated into a book for about a month, and every day he finds himself missing air conditioning and food delivery from the modern world.

His original body belongs to a general destined to rebel and lose his head, while he himself is merely a refined, self-serving man with a demon lurking in his heart.

Then he seeks out Xiao Ting, the book's foolish, troublesome Ninth Prince.

A fool's imagination is truly terrifying.

As Fei Shi munches on honey buns baked by Xiao Ting and watches him hum a tune while drawing up plans for a new city, he suddenly thinks:

Maybe this lousy book can be saved after all.

As for Xiao Ting constantly sneaking into his room, warming his bed, then blinking those big eyes at him and asking, "Brother Jianghu, do I seem like a cut sleeve?"

Fei Shi's gaze lingers over the snow-white ankles on the bed. He swallows his bun and calmly wipes his hands.

Yes. You certainly do.

But only on the surface. It's obvious you haven't seriously studied what being a cut sleeve entails.

That's all right, though.

He has plenty of time to teach him personally.

[Potential superstar beauty bottom × obsessive, sickly-sweet, aloof top student top]

Song Can, a mukbang streamer who is wolfing down food on camera, collapses amid a flood of comments begging him to have another bowl.

When he opens his eyes again, the sky is a clear blue, and the thumping disco music from the corner record shop fills his ears.

He's returned to the late 1980s, the darkest point in his life.

His father has died, he's failed the college entrance exam, he weighs nearly 180 kilos, and even the little snack shop his family depends on has been driven to the brink of closing by people making life difficult for them.

In his previous life, he fell apart right there. He even returned that burning love letter, leaving Shen Che to close his eyes forever when an accident struck, carrying a love he had no way to express.

Staring at the face in the mirror, so distorted by fat that it is almost unrecognizable, Song Can slaps himself hard.

With a second chance at life, to hell with his inferiority complex! He never wants to be that coward hiding in the shadows again.

He saves his father, kicks his awful relatives to the curb, and sheds all that weight. Song Can transforms completely.

Taking the apron from his mother, he turns their unremarkable roadside stall into the hottest Hong Kong cafe in the whole city.

Their hot-and-cold pineapple buns sell out as fast as they can make them, their silk-stocking milk tea earns a fortune every day, and even the richest man in the city has to queue for a taste.

As life gets better and better, Song Can stands in the sunlight and stops Shen Che's bicycle.

"Um, I've been thinking. Being gay is pretty fashionable... Can I have my love letter back?"

-

Shen Che is known throughout the school as an untouchable beauty: rational and aloof, as if he were born to solve the most difficult math problems.

No one knows what darkness and obsession hide beneath that flawless exterior.

Song Can is his only connection to this bustling, earthly world.

He remembers every word Song Can has ever said, as well as every cold detail of the moment Song Can rejected his confession.

But it doesn't matter. He has bought a plane ticket and tucked away a cola laced with sleeping pills. He plans to trick this insecure little pig onto the plane and take him abroad, where he can keep him locked by his side forever.

Who could have guessed that the stunning beauty, now slim as a lightning bolt, would reach out to stop him and ask for his love letter back?
