There's No Way I Could Like a Pretty Idiot

Ji Hanchao comes from a poor family and has been frail and sickly since childhood. To raise money for his grandmother’s surgery, he takes a part-time job. The good news: It pays really well. The bad news: He has to meet someone in person on behalf of their online lover and pretend to be a woman. It’s kind of a rotten thing to do. But Ji Hanchao desperately needs the money, so he reluctantly puts on a dress and goes to meet the person. He never expects his date to be a handsome, wealthy young master. The young master sees Ji Hanchao and doesn’t notice anything wrong. He takes him for a pretty girl and treats him with tenderness and care. Ji Hanchao falls for him hopelessly, while feeling more and more like a terrible person for deceiving him. He wants to come clean, but the surgery costs leave him torn, until the day his lie is exposed... Looking at the screen full of accusations, Ji Hanchao decides he has to keep either the money or the man. Following his employer’s instructions, he breaks up with him and flees back to his village in tears. He thinks he hasn’t been into men for long, so maybe he can drink some herbal medicine and set himself straight. One day, surely, he’ll forget the young master. But he never expects the young master to come looking for him in person. - Jiang Fanchi finds out that his cousin has been tricked in an online romance and orders him to break it off. But his cousin refuses to listen and insists on meeting his online lover in person. Unable to do anything about his lovesick cousin, Jiang Fanchi decides to break up the couple himself and meet the other person on his cousin’s behalf. But the moment he sees them, he can’t help laughing: a pretty little fool dressed as a woman. Jiang Fanchi changes his mind. A pretty little liar might be fun to tease for a while. - Jiang Fanchi coaxes him, spoils him, and teases him, making their romance thoroughly enjoyable. He never expects their secret to come out one day and scare the other man away. For the first time in his life, the dignified young master of the Jiang family knows what it feels like to be dumped. He can’t accept it, and he can’t let go. After switching trains seven or eight times, he tracks Ji Hanchao down in the village. At last he finds him, only to see him squatting alone by the river in the bitter winter cold, washing clothes with a bucket. So thin, so pitiful, so helpless. Jiang Fanchi realizes his heart aches unbearably for him. He changes his mind again. He doesn’t want Ji Hanchao to suffer anymore. He wants to give him an easy job, something like... becoming his wife. *Little scene: One day after they get together, Jiang Fanchi checks Ji Hanchao’s phone on a whim and discovers all the people who have designs on him. The idiot himself doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with it. Jiang Fanchi is furious, but he doesn’t dare delete those people. He can only question Ji Hanchao about his relationship with them like a jealous husband, while Ji Hanchao just says in surprise, “They’re all friends.” Oh, they’re friends, are they? That night, Jiang Fanchi makes Ji Hanchao put his dress back on. He tosses him around for ages, forcing him to say all sorts of embarrassing things until Ji Hanchao’s eyes go unfocused. Still, Jiang Fanchi refuses to let him go and even puts on a wounded expression. “Why are you saying no? We’re friends too. You’re so nice to everyone else. Can’t you be a little more patient with me?” Reader’s guide: 1. Both leads are each other’s only partners, body and heart. 1v1. 2. The bottom is just a little slow when it comes to feelings. He isn’t actually stupid at all. The little bottom... isn’t... isn’t... 3. The author is terrible at logic, writing, and thinking. If you don’t like it, please leave right away. Don’t tough it out, and please don’t scold me. Thank you TvT 4. I’ll delete comments insulting the bottom if I see them. Next up: How to Win Over the Untouchable Blurb: Cen Qing comes from a wealthy family. He’s aloof and has a beautiful, otherworldly face, yet he’s the least noticeable member of the F4 at his elite academy. He doesn’t look down on ordinary people, and he never takes part in the class conflict between the rich and the poor. He’s on indifferent terms with the other members of the F4, and at school he’s so unnoticeable he might as well be invisible. He thinks he’ll keep living this quiet life forever, until one day he accidentally wanders into a prank the rich students have prepared for the poor ones and gets soaked.

The people around him suddenly give him strange looks. - From that day on, photos of Cen Qing spread like wildfire on the school forum, and people secretly watch his every move. But he has no idea.

I’ll make sure you live in wealth and luxury for the rest of your life, and that you keep the Cen family under your heel.” The F2 who broke off their engagement because of a misunderstanding: “I’m sorry. I didn’t see you clearly before. Don’t rush to reject me. At least... give me a chance to take care of you.” Even the usually rebellious F3 says, “Now can I make you mine?” Those offers all sound pretty good. But... who said he’d been kicked out? The real young master opens the door and wraps his arms around Cen Qing from behind, holding him close. “Gege, it’s late. You should come home.” - Cen Qing drifts from one man’s arms to another. The men fight over him, pulling at each other’s hair and getting jealous. Only later does he learn what they call him behind his back: the Untouchable. Theme: Online romance comes with risks
