Chu Jiangci transmigrated into a book.
Not only did he become the scumbag fake young master in a wealthy-family switched-at-birth story, he also developed an illness that makes him suffer unbearably whenever he breaks character.
Chu Jiangci is desperate.
The fake young master isn't just a scumbag, he's also done everything he can to suppress the real young master.
The reason? The fake young master likes the real young master. He bullies him because he loves him!
One day, the truth about their identities is exposed,
and the fake young master gets thoroughly wrecked by the real young master's admirer!
Now, he will die if he strays from the plot, but he'll die later if he follows it.
More importantly,
he isn't into men, he doesn't like Chu Yu, and he doesn't want a single cent of the man's biological mother's wealth!
One day,
the fake young master's rich mother seeks out the real young master and slaps down a blank check, warning Chu Yu, "Leave my son. Name your price."
Chu Jiangci: ...
Mom, no, Auntie, you've got the wrong person. Chu Yu is your biological son!!!
Chu Yu's eyes redden with anger at the humiliation. "Who wants your stinking money? Chu Jiangci is the one who won't leave me alone."
Chu Jiangci: ...
Thanks for asking. I'm in the hospital, and there's something wrong with my brain. If I don't cling to you, I'll die. It's really not because I'm in love with you.
Even the poor mother of the real young master can't help accusing Chu Jiangci. "Please stop coming after my son. We're poor people and aren't good enough for you!"
Chu Jiangci: ...
What did I do to get you? I'm your own good son!
Both mothers / Chu Yu: Shut up! You're not!
Chu Jiangci: ...
Chu Jiangci: Forget it. I'm tired. Let's all just perish.
It's only death, right?
Am I supposed to be scared?
...Yes, I'm scared. Can someone please save me?!
