I Replaced a Rich Tycoon, Then Begged for Death All Night

[Lighthearted Comedy]

Cheng Qingyu has been dead for two years when he suddenly receives a resurrection chip.

Once the chip is implanted in someone's body, Cheng Qingyu will "come back from the dead" and completely take over that person's life.

Who should he take over?

A stern face immediately springs to mind.

Bai Lin, a famous rich man in the capital: wealthy, powerful, and handsome. He's worlds apart from someone like Cheng Qingyu, who has nothing going for him.

At night, Cheng Qingyu floats into Bai Lin's room, straddles him, and says fiercely, "Old classmate, long time no see! I've been dead for ages. Did you miss me? Scream all you want, no one will come to save you! I'm taking over your life now. Are you scared?"

Bai Lin looks at him and says flatly, "Go ahead."

Cheng Qingyu: What, playing it cool?

He doesn't waste any more time on Bai Lin. He presses the chip into him with his fingertip, and from that moment on, presents himself as Bai Lin.

Day one: He wakes up in a luxurious mansion halfway up a mountain.

Cheng Qingyu (inhaling deeply): Ah. The good life.

On day two, Bai Lin's father walks in with a meek-looking young man who looks like a high schooler. "Xiao Lin, he's going to be your stepmother and your little brother from now on."

On day three, Bai Lin's older brother comes downstairs with his arm around "stepmother," speaking in a flippant tone. "Dad's tired of him. Let me have a turn. What, got a problem with that?"

On day four, Bai Lin's older sister comes back. She grabs her hair and flings herself into their father's arms, sobbing hysterically. "Dad! I don't want to marry Mr. Wang! Dad, didn't you say we were the closest people in the world? Are you going to betray your Mimi?"

Cheng Qingyu stands in front of the table his sister has just overturned, staring at the wreckage on the floor in shock. What happened to the rich-kid life? Is there anyone normal here at all (?

He drags his exhausted body over to the only normal person, Bai Lin, and wipes away his tears. "Please, I'm begging you, switch back with me. I can't take another day of this."

Bai Lin says calmly, "As you can see, my life has no meaning. I plan to stay 'dead.'"

Cheng Qingyu drops to his knees beside the bed, tears in his eyes. "What would make it meaningful? Tell me. I'd climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames. I'll do it right now!"

Bai Lin watches him, thinks for a moment, then suddenly says, "I've never been in love."

Cheng Qingyu, sounding miserable, says, "It's the middle of the night, and we're on opposite sides of the living and the dead. Where am I supposed to find you someone, young master?"

Bai Lin: "Aren't you a person?"

Cheng Qingyu: ?

Heh. Now the whole family of weirdos is complete.

One night, after seeing off his father, brother, and sister, who nearly blew up the mansion, Cheng Qingyu returns to Bai Lin's room with tears blurring his eyes. "I'm begging you, okay? What if I date you?"

Two months later, Cheng Qingyu lies in Bai Lin's arms, his body covered in red marks, whimpering, "Waaah! Pervert! This whole family is full of perverts!"
