Yu Zhuo was once a top-tier star singer who won countless awards, yet his reputation was terrible. Rumors said he went after both men and women and had no standards, and there were too many scandals to count on two hands.

Proud and arrogant, he had many enemies. One day, someone framed him, and he fell from his pedestal overnight. Everyone turned against him, rushing to kick him while he was down.

With a fortune in his family, Yu Zhuo laughed at the haters, quit the industry, and went home to inherit the family business. Along the way, he and He Lin, the rising singer his haters adored, went through the whole process of dating and breaking up.

-

At a concert, He Lin handed his microphone to someone in the audience.

Mr. Yu Zhuo, who preferred not to give his name, kindly sang a few lines.

Netizen A: Why is this passerby's voice so sexy? I want to know everything about him in five minutes!

Netizen B: Why is Brother looking at this passerby so differently? Who is he?

Netizen C: Am I the only one who wants to hear them sing together?! Aaaaa, I'm losing my mind!!!

The levelheaded Netizen Z: Um, this person... seems to be Yu Zhuo?!

The whole internet's mood changed. Cries of despair rang out everywhere.

Netizen A: Yu Zhuo, you devil, stay away! Don't come ruin my favorite singer's life!!!

Netizen B: He Lin, your mother does not approve of this!!!

Netizen C: I don't believe it!!! I reported this as fake news!!!

The couple shippers survived in the cracks, daring only to secretly enjoy the sweet moments.

Until one day, while He Lin was confessing his feelings on livestream, someone suddenly knocked on his door.

"You're making it official, aren't you?" Yu Zhuo leaned lazily against the doorway. "Then the leading man should be here too."

The whole internet erupted:

Yu Zhuo the devil was not only back!!!

He'd also landed He Lin, the nation's heartthrob!!!

[Yu Zhuo is the bottom. Yu Zhuo is the bottom. Yu Zhuo is the bottom.]

I Keep Thinking the Real Young Master Has Transmigrated into a Book (search ID: 6888473), available in the author's collection~

Blurb:

Song Yu has an incredibly realistic prophetic dream and discovers that he's the fake young master who was switched at birth in a book.

Before long, the real young master, Jing Shi, will be welcomed home, and Song Yu will be kicked out. As a foil to the protagonist, he'll meet a truly miserable end.

After careful consideration, Song Yu decides to cling to the real young master Jing Shi and do his best to be a respectable person.

He reluctantly gives Jing Shi his most beloved treasures:

"Take these. What's mine is yours! ...If I miss them later, could you let me look at them once in a while?"

He puts aside his dignity, slings an arm around Jing Shi's shoulders, and calls him brother:

"From today on, I'm your big brother! ...Since we're brothers, when I visit you, could you let me sleep in your room instead of the guest room?"

He takes Jing Shi to meet his parents and says solemnly:

"Don't be shy. From now on, my mom is your mom too! ...And your mom is my mom too, of course. I'll treat her well from now on."

After all that, Song Yu feels that he and Jing Shi are so close they could share a pair of pants.

Song Yu is relieved: Thank goodness. My good brother definitely won't abandon me in the future.

-

Until one day, Song Yu's good brother comes to confide in him about a recent worry.

"There's someone who gives me all the things he likes, does everything he can to sleep in the same room as me, and insists I call his mom 'Mom.'" Jing Shi asks meaningfully, "What do you think he means by that?"

Song Yu answers without hesitation: "What else? He's definitely in love with... shit?"

Song Yu: ...Oh no. This is a huge misunderstanding.

-

When the paternity test results come in, Song Yu finally realizes that the so-called book transmigration and real-versus-fake young masters were just a nonsensical dream.

Song Yu never expected to cause such a huge misunderstanding and get himself caught up in it too!

On the night they get together, Song Yu lies in bed reflecting on life, thinking he got the short end of the stick.

Jing Shi smiles and bends down to kiss him. "Didn't you say we should become even closer?"

"I did say that," Song Yu grits out from his arms, "but I didn't mean this kind of closer!"

Here's a wonderful completed novel I recommend: The Empire's Number One Glamorous Streamer [Gourmet] by Xueli Jianbao
