My Childhood Friend from the Brothel Is a Top Student

As a competent gay office drone who could work his way to star employee even at a 996 tech giant, he transmigrates into the eight-year-old son of a brothel girl, Liu An. As someone at the bottom of society, he finds everything difficult.

When all those familiar transmigration tropes prove impossible to pull off in practice, what can he do? He can only rely on his past experience as a workaholic king, using product marketing strategies to climb up from the bottom, reforming commerce to carve out a new path and avoid the tired old story of "The Domineering Heir Rescues a Fallen Woman."

Unexpectedly, the heir still shows up, only he's a spoiled good-for-nothing, with a little foolishness mixed into his arrogance and a little sincerity mixed into his domineering ways. Liu An covers his face. He can't bear to watch all the wealth and power he's been striving so hard for go to waste in the heir's hands, so he has no choice but to guide him step by step, starting with household intrigue and dragging him along to outwork everyone else. But after teaching his apprentice everything, the master gets... gets his position turned upside down.

[High-Level Lazing Heir Top x Scheming, Hardworking Bottom from the Lower Classes]

** No pocket dimension, no golden finger, no inhuman objects, and no lucky breaks falling from the sky. None of the characters are perfect!

** The top and bottom have a large gap in their psychological ages early on. If that's not your thing, click away.

** I'm an old-school author and don't know what the landmines are. This story is entering the paid section. The full story is expected to be under 800,000 characters, with one chapter updated daily at the beginning.

** Snarky, lightly comedic, and very colloquial. All research comes from AI, and I don't have time to fact-check.

Theme: Even after transmigrating, sticking to a modern way of thinking can help you thrive and bring positive change to the people at the bottom around you.
