[The Ambitious Real Young Master Just Wants to Lie Flat] Qi Xu was brought back to a wealthy family at eighteen and died in that family at twenty-eight. Looking back on those ten years, Qi Xu realized he'd been a fool. To prove how sensible he was, he had even turned down the gems, luxury cars, houses, and yacht his biological parents offered him, wasting their good intentions. All his life, he had tried to prove he was just as good as the fake young master. In the end, he was left with no one, and died after falling down the stairs. Given a second life, Qi Xu decides to take everything with him. On the first day Qi Xu is brought back to the Shen family, the Shen couple give the real and fake young masters a blue sapphire each. The fake young master is so considerate it makes people's hearts ache. "I already have so many gems, Mom. Could I donate this one to help children in the mountains build a school?" Qi Xu, receiving a sapphire for the first time, stares at it without blinking. "Mom, can you buy me a safe to keep my gems in?" When the new school year begins, the Shen couple prepare two apartments near campus for the real and fake young masters to make getting to school easier. The fake young master deftly refuses. "Dad, I haven't even stayed at the house by the sea yet. Let's give the apartment near campus to someone who needs a place for school." Qi Xu deftly accepts. "Thanks, Dad. I'll move in right away." While everyone praises the fake young master for being obedient, considerate, and unconcerned with material things, Qi Xu is already collecting rent from his apartment near campus. His tenant is the fake young master's childhood friend, the Xie family's prodigy, Xie Huai, who was born at the very top of the social pyramid. On rent day, Qi Xu knocks on Xie Huai's door. "Time to pay rent." Xie Huai has just finished showering and casually rubs his half-dry hair with a towel. "It's Valentine's Day. Any special discounts?" Qi Xu replies coolly, "No. What's a lonely bachelor like you celebrating Valentine's Day for?" Xie Huai leans down and kisses the corner of Qi Xu's mouth. "Could you let me enjoy a deal with free utilities and half-price rent?" Qi Xu gives a cold laugh. "Dream on." He can have me, but the rent is not getting cut. Qi Xu takes away many things he never had in his previous life, including Xie Huai, with whom he exchanged only a few words back then. *Money-loving, half-lounging uke x seme who wants credit for every good deed Theme: Finding inspiration and finding love.
