After Reincarnating as the Villainous Fake Young Master, I Revealed My True Identity

[After talking it over with my editor, I'll be entering VIP on Sunday (June 6), with three chapters in a row. I hope all you little angels will show your support. Muah!]

Cui Leilei thought he had been reincarnated into a new body as a baby, so he happily became the Cui family's pampered darling and lived with swagger and abandon. Then, to his surprise, he discovered that he was living in the world of a novel, as the foil to Shen Qian, the protagonist bottom of The Movie Emperor Is Face-Slapping Again.

Shen Qian was the Cui family's real young master, exceptionally talented and honest, and he put himself through school with part-time jobs. Yet the Cui family thought their outstanding biological son was too provincial, and even let Cui Leilei bully him while scheming to marry Shen Qian off for profit. Unable to take it any longer, Shen Qian embarked on a career through a talent competition, beginning his journey of face-slapping and making a comeback.

Meanwhile, Cui Leilei, the fake young master who had been switched at birth, made trouble at every turn and envied and tormented Shen Qian, eventually driving the Cui family into bankruptcy and meeting a miserable end.

Cui Leilei: "?!"

After calculating that the story was still six months away from its starting point, Cui Leilei hesitated for half a second, then secretly plucked his parents' hair to get a DNA test.

Once he confirmed they weren't his biological parents, Cui Leilei tearfully handed over the test results. To his surprise, his dad declared with great confidence, "I'm a man of culture. No matter how far back you trace our family tree, you won't find an ancestor as beautiful as Leilei."

His mom added with a sigh, "When you were little, you screamed your head off whenever you got a shot. I couldn't hold you down even while gripping your hair, so I let the doctor put it to good use."

Cui Leilei nearly choked. "Y-you already knew?"

Cui the eldest brother grew serious at that. "We searched in private for ten years, but we still haven't found any leads."

Seeing his family look so worried, Cui Leilei immediately tossed the plot out of his mind and declared, "Mom, Dad, Big Brother, how about I enter a talent competition and make my debut? We can use the gossip-loving public to help find them!"

The Cui family: "…"

And so the hashtag [Breaking: Searching for the Cui Family's Real Young Master, I'm the Baby Who Was Switched at Birth] shot to the top of the trending list for three months straight.

The whole internet erupted. The jeering and mockery from people eager to watch Cui Leilei make a fool of himself flooded in from all sides.

[Holy crap, the Cui family is the richest family in Yancheng! Cui Leilei really hit the jackpot. Look at that extravagant lifestyle. I feel so bad for the real young master.]

[What a clever move, pretending to back down to gain the upper hand. Uncle and Auntie Cui dote on Leilei, so they'll definitely keep him. Poor real young master.]

Shen Qian, the real young master of the Cui family, who had gone to great lengths to be reborn: "…"

Looking at his bold and spoiled beloved, Shen Qian forgot everything else and immediately posted on Weibo: [Yes, @Shen Group V, your real young master has finally been found. It's time for me, your child groom, to get married.]

Then the trending list completely crashed.
