After Pretending to Be the Richest Man's Son

As the newly acknowledged heir of the richest man in the country, no one knows he's a fake, or that the older brother who brought him home has already gotten into bed with him.

Guan Yishen made one careless mistake and fell into his father's trap, who handed him over to a powerful businessman as a favor.

He fought back, stumbled out the door, and grabbed a man's pant leg just before passing out.

"Save me. I'll do anything you want to repay you."

It wasn't until the next day, when he woke up in a hotel aching all over, that he was completely dumbfounded.

He looked at the man beside him, leisurely flipping through a financial magazine, and could only swallow his anger.

"So we're even now?"

The man closed the magazine, revealing a refined, villainous smile.

"Come with me from now on. A hundred thousand a month, room and board included, plus bed-warming services."

Guan Yishen sucked in a breath. Thinking of the shabby loft he lived in and his bedridden mother, he... agreed, with every fiber of his being.

And just like that, he became Fang Yongxin's exclusive lover.

Come to think of it, it wasn't really a bad deal.

A returnee elite, a sales genius, and handsome to boot. Why had he picked someone like Guan Yishen, who had nothing?

He bought him cars and watches whenever he asked, and even shoved things into his hands without being asked. He was only short of plucking the stars from the sky for him.

Guan Yishen was so thoroughly charmed that one day he couldn't help asking smugly, "Come on, admit it. Were you attracted to this handsome face of mine from the start?"

Who knew the man would raise his eyes and smile as if he'd been waiting for the question? "That's right."

Guan Yishen: ???

"Do me a favor. Pretend to be some old man's illegitimate son. If you do a good job, you'll inherit hundreds of billions in assets."

Guan Yishen was even more confused. "What old man is that loaded?"

Fang Yongxin stared at his face as if he were looking at a fortune that would last several lifetimes.

"Qiu Hanlin, the richest man in the capital."

Proud, clever, street-smart bottom x gentle, scheming, beautiful top

The richest man's scumbag gets away with everything, while the down-on-his-luck young master joins forces with someone to get revenge. No angst, trust me, it's just especially melodramatic.

P.S. Lying is wrong. The protagonist has no choice, and the truth will be revealed later. Please don't apply this to real life.

My next book is My Regret After Forgiving My Scumbag Ex. Please add it to your reading list!

Everyone knows Bai Jiayu is hopelessly in love with Xue Jingyan.

He's willing to give up a job paying a million a year and devote himself to cooking at home.

Xue Jingyan forgets their anniversary, and Bai Jiayu forgives him. He gives him the cold shoulder, and Bai Jiayu forgives him. He even stays out all night with other people, and Bai Jiayu can still forgive him.

After all, Bai Jiayu was blind enough to fall for Xue Jingyan in college, even though he had nothing going for him but his looks, and made him his unreachable ideal.

Everyone in their circle says Xue Jingyan is an ungrateful wretch whose heart could never be warmed, and that Bai Jiayu will only end up miserable if he keeps clinging to him.

But Bai Jiayu doesn't care.

Until this time, Xue Jingyan's flirtation partner stages a car accident, leaving him unconscious at the scene.

When he wakes up, he unexpectedly regains the three years of memories he had lost.

Two shocking truths immediately come to mind:

1. His true ideal was someone else. He lost his memory for a reason, and his scumbag ex jumped to conclusions, creating this rather ugly misunderstanding.

2. He only got together with Xue Jingyan in the first place to use him to break into high society.

A submissive canary who puts up with everything? That has nothing to do with him.

He, Bai Jiayu, is a venomous scorpion who will do anything to get what he wants.

His usually gentle eyes turn icy as he watches footage from the day of the accident. Xue Jingyan was caught by paparazzi partying with men and women alike, and Bai Jiayu can't help sneering.

Even if his amnesiac self chose to forgive this piece of trash, he must have been out of his mind.

It's not too late to change his mind and make Xue Jingyan pay for all his old and new grievances, is it?

Xue Jingyan buys a bouquet. He doesn't think the accident was his fault, but it happened while Bai Jiayu was bringing him food, so it can't hurt to soothe him a little.

He imagines that his little lover, whose every thought revolves around him, must be pushing through his injuries to cook a whole table of dishes while waiting for him to come home. The thought makes him feel downright smug.

What can he say? Bai Jiayu can't live without him.

But when he opens the door, the place is dark and empty. Bai Jiayu is gone.

He's completely dumbfounded.

It takes several tries before Bai Jiayu picks up the phone. Hearing Xue Jingyan's demands for an explanation, his little lover, who used to have eyes only for him, gives a mocking laugh and replies impatiently, "You're disgusting, and cooking is the thing I hate most in this life. I can't be bothered to serve you. Bye."

Six months later

At a society gala, his friends finally see Xue Jingyan again after his long disappearance.

"Big-shot actor Xue, you haven't hung out with us in ages. Found yourself someone new and having too much fun to remember us?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" His usually dashing face actually looks nervous. He glances at the man standing tall in the middle of the crowd, smiling faintly, then deliberately raises his voice.

"I've been off cigarettes and alcohol for six months, and I've even learned to cook. I'm completely clean inside and out now. Come check for yourself if you don't believe me!"
