I Played Dumb and Tricked the Scumbag Top [Book Transmigration]

[Upcoming series novel: "The Drama King Campus Hunk Is No Human Being." There are also upcoming crematorium-style novels in my collection. Please add them to your reading lists, dear readers~]

Everyone in the city knows that Xie Yan comes from a prominent family and is handsome. What they don't know is that Xie Yan is already married. His wife is the silly young master of the Shen family.

Shen Guangluo has the intellect of a six- or seven-year-old, and Xie Yan is his whole world. If Xie Yan so much as glances at him, he'll be happy all day.

But Xie Yan doesn't even want to look at him.

"Shen Guangluo, you're nothing but a tool I use to gain advantages."

"Shen Guangluo, I will never love you."

"Shen Guangluo, let's get divorced."

On the day they divorced, rain poured down in sheets. Holding the divorce papers, Shen Guangluo ran after Xie Yan's car, then fell to the ground and burst into tears. "Ge, please don't go... I won't cry or make a fuss anymore... I don't want money... I only want you... I love you..."

His heart-wrenching cries echoed through the whole street, but Xie Yan drove off without hesitation.

Shen Guangluo watched Xie Yan's car disappear around the corner.

He gave a cold laugh, wiped his mouth, and took out his phone. "The money's in. That sucker was loaded. I fleeced him for ten billion in the divorce! So, how about we charter a private jet tomorrow and head to an island for a swimsuit party? Let's go wild, OVO!"

*

Xie Yan thought it was a blessing that the two of them would never cross paths again.

But a month later, at King Bai's concert before a crowd of tens of thousands, the king of music appeared hand in hand with the industry's most mysterious genius composer.

The genius composer could not only play piano and compose music, he was also ridiculously handsome. The two stood together onstage, acting so intimately they looked made for each other. The whole country was stunned.

Only Xie Yan, seated below, stared at that achingly familiar face onstage, chilled to the bone.

It turned out that the fool kept in the dark all along wasn't Shen Guangluo. It was him.

Warnings:

* Possessive, ruthless, unhinged top x arrogant, gorgeous celebrity bottom. Neither of them is quite right in the head.

* In the middle and later parts of the story, the silly bottom makes a comeback in the entertainment industry and rises step by step to become a top-tier star, leaving everyone dazzled!

* A groveling romance, a real groveling romance, a crematorium for chasing your wife!!! It's extremely melodramatic, with a bittersweet edge.

* The top is awful at first, but has never loved anyone else. Later, he'll get hit with some serious face-slapping and pursue his wife like a mad dog!! (Important)

* There is angst. Not recommended for fans devoted to the top or bottom, or for anyone who hasn't read crematorium-style novels before.

-----Upcoming Novel Blurbs Below-----

Upcoming novel "The Drama King Campus Hunk Is No Human Being":

Nan Qiyu has always thought he was suave and handsome, and must be an unparalleled top.

To prove it, he rules the school with an iron fist, with a whole pack of underlings trailing behind him. He's even planning to pursue a cute, sweet bottom.

The cute bottom is sweet and adorable, but unfortunately, he already likes someone.

When faced with Nan Qiyu's shameless advances, he resists with all his might. "I like someone. He's taller than you, more handsome than you, and more refined than you. And I won't tell you who he is."

Nan Qiyu is so furious he crushes a water bottle on the spot and makes an announcement to the whole school.

He, Nan Qiyu, is going to find that bastard, stomp him into the ground, and make him bow down to him!

That very night, Nan Qiyu rescues a poor little guy being bullied by some thugs on the roadside.

The guy is pretty, badly hurt, and looks up at him with pleading eyes.

Aww. Q_Q

Nan Qiyu's heart softens, and he takes the guy home.

-

Two months later.

The cute bottom takes a love letter to confess to the campus hunk.

But in the hallway, he sees the refined campus hunk covered in bruises, shoving through the crowd and sprinting for his life.

Nan Qiyu's eyes are red-rimmed. He grabs a chair leg and chases after him, shouting, "Guan Mocheng, you son of a bitch! You lied to me for two whole months! Just you wait, I'll hack you to pieces today, you bastard! If I don't, I won't be a Nan!"

Upcoming novel "In This Life, You Can Only Spoil Me":

A new student arrives at Luoya Arts College.

Kuang Mu is an aloof beauty, good-looking and cold and solitary in temperament, but exceptionally competitive.

He takes Ji Xi's top academic ranking and his place as campus hunk, as if deliberately picking a fight with him.

At the piano competition, Kuang Mu wins a chorus of applause with his performance. Standing onstage, his slender fingers grip his bouquet as he tilts his chin up and looks down at everyone, haughty beyond compare.

"Damn, look at him acting so high and mighty!"

Ji Xi's friend stands beside him, pointing at the campus belle going onstage to present flowers and voicing his indignation. "Xun, that brat isn't just trying to steal your first-place ranking. Even your ex-girlfriend is falling for him! Want us to teach him a lesson?"

Ji Xi sits below, narrowing his eyes at the person onstage. He says nothing.

After a long moment, he smiles, takes off his suit jacket, and says, "If that's what he wants, let him have it all."

That day, the news breaks: reigning piano champion Ji Xi withdraws from the competition.

-

Everyone at school thinks Ji Xi and Kuang Mu must have a bitter feud, the kind where one of them has to die.

On the day of the basketball game, a fire breaks out in the chemistry lab.

At a crucial point in the game, Ji Xi drops the ball and races toward the lab.

That day, everyone at school sees Ji Xi carry Kuang Mu out of the chemistry lab.

The usually proud, aloof Kuang Mu clings tightly to Ji Xi's neck and sobs in his arms, so hard he can barely catch his breath. "Ge, I thought you'd really abandoned me..."

[So all along, it was just two brothers sulking at each other!]

Warnings:

# A seemingly gentle but secretly cunning top x a genius, obsessive, scheming beauty of a bottom. Neither of them is quite right in the head.

# They grew up together, have no blood relation, and aren't registered in the same household.

Theme: Face adversity without giving up. Have a will of steel and strive to better yourself.
