Out of My Way, I'll Do It Myself

[Narcissism]

In his previous life, the entire Fan family was massacred. Fan Jing changed his face and identity, becoming Lu Hengzhi. After finally killing his enemies with his own hands and ascending the throne, he was still trapped by his hatred. He died suddenly after just forty-two days in power.

When he opened his eyes again, he had been reborn as the son of a merchant.

The vast difference in status made it difficult for him to enter the circles of power, so he had no choice but to deliberately get close to his younger self: Fan Jing.

He treated the boy as a piece on a chessboard, calculating every move. But amid those cold calculations, genuine feelings began to grow beyond his control.

One night, Fan Jing felt his chest. "Lu Hengzhi, don't look at me like that. I feel like my heart's about to jump right out of my chest!"

He remembered the imperial physician's warning: Staying up too late without rest could lead to sudden death.

The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. Fan Jing burst into tears. "What do I do? I've barely enjoyed the best years of my life..."

Lu Hengzhi: "..."

Mother told me not to play with fools, but what do I do when this fool is me?

"Lu Hengzhi, what is it you really want?!"

"To have the whole world in my grasp, and for Fan Jing to be unable to live without me..."

Little Extra:

Someone: "What are you thinking about?"

Lu Hengzhi replied calmly, "Fan Jing."

The other person was puzzled. "Why are you thinking about him?"

Lu Hengzhi looked at him. "Do you need a reason to think about your wife?"

The other person was stunned. "Didn't you just turn down his confession???"

Lu Hengzhi: "Turning him down doesn't mean I don't like him."

The other person: "Nice."

Rebellious bad boy who can't change his ways vs. overbearing, old-fashioned big brother

Also known as: Riding a fire-spitting motorcycle to cram school

If Ying Xing hadn't seen Wen Ti kiss his portrait at the graveside and then... slash his wrists and kill himself, he would never have believed it.

Ying Xing never would have guessed that his cold, heartless, callous brother, who cared about nothing but his career, had secretly harbored improper feelings for him all along!!!

Given a second life, Ying Xing gave up being rebellious and stopped acting crazy. Now he spent every day following his own brother around.

"Brother, come try my new dish and tell me if it's any good."

Wen Ti stared at the two lumps of crap on the porcelain plate: "..."

"Brother, do you think this outfit looks good on me?"

Wen Ti stared at the studded leather jacket, which was an aggressively vivid shade of green: "..."

So now he wasn't going out to cause trouble for other people. He was just picking on him instead?

One ordinary morning...

Ying Xing cheekily held his phone up in front of him. "Whoa, Brother, look at this. You can do that too?"

Wen Ti shut off the phone without expression. "A disgraceful spectacle. Absolutely unbearable."

He quietly pulled out his belt.

One ordinary afternoon...

Ying Xing blinked his innocent, big eyes. "Brother, why aren't you saying anything?"

Wen Ti wiped the blood from his bitten lip.

He quietly pulled out his belt.

One extraordinary night...

"Whoa, Brother, look at this. You can do that too?"

Bound by his belt at the wrists, Wen Ti's eyes were red and glistening with tears. He could barely keep himself together, utterly at a loss. "Xing... please... take out your tongue piercing..."
