My Fake Boyfriend Is Actually My Scumbag Ex's Uncle

[Updated daily; double updates when things are going well, and I'll take a day off if something comes up~]

To escape the clutches of her scummy ex, Ruan Tang hired a tall, handsome fake boyfriend online and passionately kissed him in front of the jerk.

The fake boyfriend was cheap and dedicated, with boyfriend material MAX!

When her ex used the excuse of wanting to get him drunk, the fake boyfriend single-handedly drank everyone present under the table.

When her ex mocked him for being down on his luck and miserable, the fake boyfriend drove up in a limited-edition luxury car and whisked him away in front of everyone.

Even when he fell ill and his ex nearly angered him into collapsing on the street, the fake boyfriend appeared in time, beat up the ex, and took him to the hospital.

At the hospital, as he was about to pass out, Ruan Tang clutched the fake boyfriend's hand. "Tell me, how much would it take for you to become my real boyfriend?!"

The fake boyfriend, a dependable employee who braved wind and rain, smiled as if his wish had come true. "No charge. Free, exclusive service for life."

After they became a couple, the fake boyfriend took Ruan Tang home to meet his family.

His scummy ex gritted his teeth, lowering his eyes and trembling with fear. "U-Uncle..."

The melon in Ruan Tang's mouth fell out. He whipped around to look at the fake boyfriend. "What did he just call me?!"

[Top's POV]

Fu Congjue had a secret crush on Ruan Tang. On the day he returned to the country, he wanted to sneak a peek at him, but Ruan Tang mistook him for someone else and kissed him passionately. Afterward, he even stuffed two hundred yuan into Fu Congjue's hand.

Fu Congjue played along, using the fake-boyfriend act to secretly start dating Ruan Tang.

Holding Ruan Tang's hand while shopping

Fu Congjue: "It's included in the monthly package. If I don't do it, they'll deduct money."

Ruan Tang: "Oh... Then hold my hand."

Stealing a kiss over dinner

Fu Congjue: "They'll deduct money."

Ruan Tang: "...? You guys have it pretty tough. Go ahead, kiss me!"

Sharing a bed at night wasn't enough; he also wanted cuddles.

Fu Congjue: "They'll de..."

Ruan Tang: "I get it, I get it. Do I need to take pictures and send them in, too?"

But the next morning, Ruan Tang woke up to find Fu Congjue had thoroughly ravished him.

Ruan Tang: "I want my money back!!!"

Fu Congjue held him in his arms. "No way. You already took me home, so now you have to take responsibility."

Coming Soon: How to Win Over a Villain When You're Socially Anxious

Everyone knew that Wen Rui'an, the Wen family's adopted son, was merely a pawn for the family's interests. He was solitary and eccentric, and he stuttered.

After being married off to the villain Fei Jiangyi, he was shut away in a villa and ignored. Before long, someone pushed him into a lake, where he died a gruesome death. His body wasn't discovered until it had become swollen from soaking in the water.

After transmigrating into the story, Wen Rui'an had no choice but to raise the villain's favorability toward him and establish a little presence, so he could avoid a game over.

But Wen Rui'an had two problems: first, he was extremely socially anxious; second, he had no money. But when you're pursuing a big shot like the villain, you need to make a grand, romantic gesture.

So Wen Rui'an placed a delivery order and had the courier aim a loudspeaker at Fei Jiangyi's office building. The young man's impassioned reading echoed through the entire company.

Then, for Fei Jiangyi's birthday, he hired a waist-drum troupe to play "Good Luck Is Coming" at the banquet.

He became an overnight sensation and, in everyone's eyes, a social menace.

After being humiliated in public again and again, Fei Jiangyi finally cornered Wen Rui'an in his car.

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

Wen Rui'an twisted his fingers, his heart pounding wildly. In the end, he took out his phone and sent Fei Jiangyi a message.

"I just... want to be friends."

Fei Jiangyi: "..."

Wen Rui'an nervously raised Fei Jiangyi's favorability while making sure not to get too close to him.

Then one day, he found a marriage agreement between himself and Fei Jiangyi in a box. It said the marriage would last three months, after which Fei Jiangyi would give him a manor in Haicheng in the event of a divorce.

Wen Rui'an's eyes lit up. "I have a manor? All to myself?"

With the deadline approaching, Wen Rui'an decided to lie flat.

Wen Rui'an: "Can time move faster?! Hurry up and cruelly exile me to my own manor!"

At first, Fei Jiangyi thought Wen Rui'an was as eccentric as the rumors claimed and was a spy the Wen family had planted in his household.

But as they spent more time together, he discovered that apart from being a little introverted, not talking much, and expressing his feelings a bit too dramatically, Wen Rui'an was adorable and delectable.

Yet the person who had been making all sorts of dramatic declarations of love to him suddenly went quiet. The daily good-morning and good-night messages stopped without warning, and the packages and takeout deliveries he received no longer had Wen Rui'an's name on them. After waiting two days, Fei Jiangyi finally couldn't sit still. When he returned home, he found that Wen Rui'an had left behind an agreement and a brief note. Wen Rui'an himself was gone.

At the airport, the moment Wen Rui'an got out of the car, he saw gigantic posters displayed on both sides of the terminal. They featured his face, with roses cut out and layered in the foreground, along with several brightly colored words.

"Missing Person Notice: The Love of My Life!"

Then came a message.

Fei Jiangyi: Get back here right now, or I'll turn your photo into a PowerPoint and have it play on loop, 24 hours a day, in every corner of the city.
