Manhwa setting / comedy / confirmed no CP
Bai Ruijing transmigrated into a ridiculous Korean manhwa.
This story gives VIP treatment to the love lives of the privileged. Here, scummy tops and bottoms, marriages that turn to love, tragic feuds, and forbidden romances take turns unfolding. Everyone is in love, so lost in it that they're frantic, oblivious to everything, and ready to wreck their families and cut off their own kin.
Everyone is romance-brained, and the melodrama never ends.
And he transmigrated into the rich, dim-witted background character of the comic.
The good news: His family is powerful and influential, with money to burn.
The bad news: His whole family is romance-brained. His eldest sister, a hospital chairwoman, is locked in a tragic feud with her enemy's son. His second brother, the chairman of a top conglomerate, is caught up in a scummy-top-and-bottom romance and is about to enter the groveling-to-win-back-his-wife stage. His third brother, with an IQ of 140, is utterly bewitched by a delicate white lotus. His uncle, who has connections in both the underworld and legitimate society, seems to be headed for a forbidden romance.
The even worse news: According to the original, none of them will have a happy ending.
In the finale, their family is destroyed, and Bai Ruijing, a cannon-fodder little brother and background character, doesn't even get his name in the ending.
Bai Ruijing: ...
What kind of garbage script is this?
Bai Ruijing just wants to be a good-for-nothing: sleep in every day, spend money without looking at the price, read comics, eat fried chicken, and drink soda. But the problem is, if he doesn't do something, his family will be gone in less than three years.
So he makes a decision: pull his whole family out of the romance plot.
He guilt-trips his eldest sister, Bai Shangzhen. At the critical moment when she's locked in a business brawl with her enemy's son, Bai Ruijing shows up with his little backpack, plops down on his knees in front of her, and says, "I got in trouble at school. The principal says we have to donate a whole building. You can't abandon me. Big sisters are like moms, you know!"
He deliberately bumps into his second brother, Bai Jingshen. While his brother is moping and getting drunk after a breakup, Bai Ruijing slips into a bar and crashes into him with a bang. The two argue for ten rounds over whose fault it was that the drink got spilled on the clothes. His brother gets so fired up from cursing him that he stops moping, squints at him through the lights, and says, "Xiao Jing?"
Bai Ruijing gets a slap on the butt.
"You little brat, who let you come to a place like this?!"
He launches a targeted strike against his third brother. The white lotus is steadfast and wins everyone's sympathy, so Bai Ruijing plays a pitiful, love-starved child. While the white lotus gets bullied and stubbornly keeps quiet, Bai Ruijing leans against something like a willow in the wind and presses a hand to his forehead. "Brother... My foot hurts, my heart hurts, I'm dizzy."
He strikes at the root of the problem with his uncle, Bai Chongming. Bai Ruijing keeps posting about the wonderful life of studying abroad in the family chat, successfully convincing all the younger generation to go overseas and chase degrees. Bai Chongming looks at the company, which is about to have no successor, and stays silent for a long while. "Xiao Jing, I've always really liked..."
Bai Ruijing quickly backs away. "!!!"
"Uncle, if you need something, come to me. Don't cause trouble."
