Fang Lan has always been sickly, a little medicine jar doted on by his whole family. Thankfully, he was raised right and grew up to be a polite young master with a sweet tongue.
Unfortunately, the young master dies of illness just after reaching adulthood.
The good news is that he transmigrates into a cannon-fodder character in a strong-characters danmei novel, where he can eat whatever he likes and is in great health!
The bad news is that he is about to become paralyzed from the waist down, and the main couple are indirectly responsible.
Petty and none too bright, Fang Lan calmly makes a note of the score and immediately turns into the male lead's uncle's devoted lackey.
"Uncle, have a seat. You must be tired. Let me massage your shoulders!" After two squeezes, he gets tired and quietly pulls his hands back.
"Uncle, you've worked so hard. Auntie isn't home today, so I'll cook for you." He forgets to add salt to the boiled cabbage, then secretly orders takeout for himself.
"Uncle... hic... I saw some really tasty... hic... little meat pies on the way, but I didn't have any money. Next time I bring some... hic... I'll definitely buy them for you... hic... as a treat... hic..."
Ye Hanbai, who saw him buy the meat pies on the way and eat every last one, gently pinches the back of his neck and smiles without warmth. "I appreciate the thought, sweetheart. Now let's talk about that 62-point test of yours."
Fearless Fang Lan retorts with complete conviction, "Hey, I passed! I'm amazing!"
Ye Hanbai shakes the test paper and clicks his tongue. "Sweetheart, it's a math test. The total is 150."
Fang Lan, held by the scruff of his neck: [tired, weak, chubby, and afraid to die.jpg]
Extra scene:
After Fang Lan becomes the male lead's uncle's husband, whenever he sees the male lead, he flips through his little notebook, then deliberately poses seductively in front of Ye Hanbai to show him what it means to charm a ruler, and who's really the boss!
Whenever Ye Yuan visits his uncle's house, he sees his uncle's husband cupping his little round face in his hands and blinking at his uncle at half speed.
Ye Yuan: ? What is that chubby little face doing?
The "male lead" mentioned in the blurb refers to the male lead in the original novel!
This story's couple is Ye Hanbai x Fang Lan.
