The Right Way to Handle a Fake Young Master

[The next book, After the Real Young Master Awakened, He Became Everyone's Favorite, is now available. Pre-save the upcoming The Marriage Contract with My Scum Ex's Uncle.]

Gu Yuan transmigrated into a wealthy-family novel about a real and fake young master, becoming the fake young master.

The poor real young master was all sweetness and coyness, while the spoiled fake young master threw his weight around and caused trouble everywhere.

The fake young master devoted himself to chasing his childhood friend, acting like a lovesick puppy. In the end, he was abandoned by everyone and left with nothing, while the real young master and the childhood friend got married and lived happily ever after.

Gu Yuan: That's not how you play a spoiled rich kid.

Gu Yuan: If you're going to be a spoiled rich kid, you can't just squander other people's money and party all day. You need brains and real ability. Make yourself your own source of capital, and then you can have fun with confidence and enjoy yourself!

Gu Yuan: And that's not how you flirt with a man.

Gu Yuan: Watch me demonstrate a textbook method for pursuing the top. Take notes, okay?

Gu Yuan: First, when flirting with a man, you need to choose carefully and pick someone top-tier.

With one move, Gu Yuan set off a blaze in Fu Sheng, the top-tier childhood friend who was also his uncle's nephew, the old house that had been quiet for years. Fu Sheng began trying every which way to become the backing capital for Gu Yuan, the spoiled rich kid who was excellent in every way.

Gu Yuan: This old house is burning way too hot. It's a little hard to take.

A stern, old-school top and a spoiled young master bottom: they bicker, build a career, and flirt their way to the peak of life.

At his wedding, Song Jing suddenly awakened to the truth: he was the real young master in Everyone Loves the Fake Young Master, a novel about a wealthy family.

The fake young master was the very picture of excellence, adored by his parents and loved by everyone.

Out of jealousy, Song Jing turned vicious and schemed against him, making himself so despised that even his parents couldn't stand him. He was sent to marry a short-lived big shot rumored to be ugly, wicked, violent, ruthless, and not long for this world.

Unwilling to marry a man who would die soon, he fled the wedding, abandoning all the guests. In his panic, he died in a car accident.

He was the perfect foil to the fake young master.

Now, he was clutching the doorknob, ready to run away from his wedding.

With only one escape between him and death, Song Jing decisively let go of the doorknob, linked arms with his father, and walked into the wedding hall under his father's stern warning.

Goodbye, runaway short-lived husband. Hello, wealthy young widower. From today on, he would be lazy Song Jing, done being anyone's foil. He would lie back and wait to inherit the short-lived big shot's billions, then get himself a wild puppy with long legs and a strong waist!

At the ceremony, the short-lived big shot looked sickly, his face dark and grim. Everyone was inwardly laughing at Song Jing, but Song Jing was beaming: those billions in inheritance were just around the corner!

But Song Jing got a heartfelt confession from the fake young master, then won the affection of everyone in the fake young master's harem. He went from being universally despised to universally adored, yet the life of a wealthy young widower he'd dreamed of never came.

The short-lived big shot looked healthier by the day. By day, he granted Song Jing's every wish; by night, he made him weep. He was wild and had a strong waist, and Song Jing couldn't help falling for him!

Blurb for the upcoming The Marriage Contract with My Scum Ex's Uncle:

Only after dying once did Su Qingnan learn that he was merely one of the disposable stand-ins in a stand-in romance, and the one with the most tragic ending.

Other stand-ins left with checks in hand and valuable connections, then went on to reach the peak of life.

He wasn't short on money, just love, but he insisted on seeking true love with a scumbag. He clung on and wouldn't let go, determined to make the scumbag his, only to be outmatched: he was no match for the scumbag, and he couldn't out-scheme the love rival. This fine young master from a wealthy family ended up disgraced as a homewrecker, with his family destroyed.

Su Qingnan: I can't believe that blind idiot with a brain of mush was me!

His reputation was being dragged through the mud, and his family was about to be destroyed. He had to put a stop to this crisis right away. Turning things around through sheer ability would take too long, so he might as well find a strong shoulder to lean on for a while.

Su Qingnan, clear-eyed and alert, reviewed the list of available shoulders to lean on. The scumbag's uncle stood out on the strength of his own merits.

Su Qingnan went straight to him. "Mr. Xie, would you like to make a deal? A marriage contract, that is."

Xie Juncheng, the rumored workaholic said to be pushed to the brink by his family trying to arrange a marriage, and the person the scumbag feared most: "..."

Su Qingnan pointed to his own face. "Just look at this breathtaking beauty of mine. I guarantee all those lovestruck admirers vying for your attention will feel ashamed of themselves."

Su Qingnan sat up straight. "And look at my unparalleled bearing. I guarantee that after Grandma Xie meets me, she won't be able to take a liking to anyone else."

Su Qingnan smiled. "Mr. Xie, make this deal with me and you won't lose out."

Xie Juncheng looked Su Qingnan up and down. "You should go find Jinghuai."

Su Qingnan scoffed. "I don't do inferior knockoffs."

Xie Juncheng raised an eyebrow. "?"

Looking at Xie Juncheng, the luxurious, top-of-the-line version, Su Qingnan said sincerely, "I think I'm too good for Xie Jinghuai. Only you, Mr. Xie, are a suitable match for me."

Xie Juncheng gave a faint, knowing smile. "Fine."

Su Qingnan: I didn't expect that to actually work.

Later, Su Qingnan: Wait, who is this beast of a man? Weren't you supposed to be a stern, old-school workaholic? Could you please stop breaking character?!

Xie Juncheng: A little wife who delivers herself to my door is damn irresistible.

Theme: As long as your heart is strong, you know when to cut your losses, and you face a fresh start with optimism and resilience, you can find a smooth road even through adversity.
