Pairing: Naturally devious sweetheart x scheming, wicked old dog
Dongdu found a book in the apocalypse. He read barely two lines, then blinked and found himself transmigrated into the emperor's Omega younger brother.
He thought he could coast through life from then on. But this little prince had no father to dote on him, no mother to love him, and even his emperor brother was devoted to someone else and wanted to send him to a frontier fortress.
Dongdu: ?
No way, no way. Does the little prince have to work for everything himself?
Later, all his enemies were dumbfounded. They had come to the fortress to laugh at the little prince.
But the fortress general took him everywhere, the fortress commandant served him personally, the fearsome space pirates couldn't bear to hurt him, the duke's younger son, who used to be his sworn enemy, insisted on holding hands with him at the movies, and even the prime minister of an enemy nation was willing to trade ten asteroids for the chance to marry him.
Enemies: It's all an act, every bit of it!
Enemies, after watching for a week: Waaaah, the little prince is so cute! The little prince can do anything!
But in reality...
Dongdu: Study with the general, work out with the commandant, match wits with space pirates, brawl with the duke's younger son, and discuss world peace with the enemy nation's prime minister!
The general, the commandant, the pirate, the duke's younger son, and the enemy nation's prime minister: I'm dating Dongdu!

[Coming soon]
Song Xici grew up in luxury and became a pampered young master who knew nothing of life's hardships. He'd never imagined that some people could go hungry and cold, until one day his older brother brought home a boy who'd just been dug out of the mud. His brother said the boy was the real young master of the Song family, while Song Xici was the fake one, deliberately switched into the family as a baby. But after all these years, the Song family had grown attached to him, so they would bring the boy home to make it up to him, not send Song Xici away.
The real young master standing before him was skinny as a monkey, so dark that you couldn't see him with the lights off, and his eyes held the fierce gleam of a wild wolf.
Song Xici felt so sorry for him. How could his little brother be allowed to stay so skinny? He snuck out in the middle of the night with a little cake he'd secretly stashed away. The moment he knocked on the door, a warning rang in his mind:
"The wicked fake young master must not break character, or he will be punished."
It turned out his destined role was to be a wicked side character in a book. If he broke character, he'd be electrocuted to death; if he stayed in character, the real young master would slap him in the face and drive him out of the house.
Song Xici: "..."
But he'd already held out the cake. He couldn't take it back now!
Before he could say a word, he was hit with a shock, and the cake fell to the floor with a splat.
Song Xici, who'd been smiling moments before, winced in pain and immediately furrowed his brow, keeping up his character with a fierce little pout. "I, I'm not giving you any!"
Huo Chengfeng picked up the perfectly wrapped cake and opened it right in front of Song Xici.
Song Xici: QAQ
He felt like his little brother was going to eat him too!
Scene 1
Song Xici glared as he picked up Huo Chengfeng's old water cup, planning to smash it. But he was afraid it might be a keepsake, so he just held it and banged it to make a noise. The cup was hard and his hand hurt. His eyes turned red as he said, "Mom and Dad would never abandon me to love you! I won't like you either, hmph!"
Huo Chengfeng: "..."
He just wanted to help him smash the cup.
Scene 2
Huo Chengfeng had already started an internship at the company with his older brother when Song Xici blocked him at the office door. Pouting, he threatened him: "Don't think you can steal my things just because you joined the company. Big Brother and I will always be the closest!"
Huo Chengfeng: "I want to be the closest to you too, the closest of all."
Theme: Be strong and persevere when facing difficulties
Great, successful emo. Madam, you have no heart! (╯‵□′)╯┻━┻!
A knife in the butt? ? ? ? ? ?
Add a sentence to the paragraph about Chu Xuhuan: But what the star thieves did is actually unforgivable. I also remember the murder in the hotel vividly. (I wrote it down when I typed it for the first time, but forgot about it the second time, so I just said I missed something...)
Ah ah ah, I really can't let go of Dongdu baby.
Hahaha, I landed on the wrong cp for the first time and I lost it.
Don't tell me I'm on the wrong cp
Ahhhhhh, spread the flowers

Yeah, it's over so quickly
Hahahahahaha Ji Ling is also miserable. He was sitting at home and finally retired, but he was transported back in time as soon as he opened his eyes.
