After the Rich Heir Became Poor

Gu Junyan, the pampered young master of the Gu family, lived arrogantly and recklessly for over twenty years. On the eve of graduation, he was told he was a country chicken who had been switched at birth. In a single day, he fell from heaven into hell.

His terribly written thesis, which had somehow earned top marks, was sent back for a rewrite.

His high-paying job, with little work and close to home, went up in smoke.

He was kicked out of the shareholders' group chat for a partnership deal that had seemed like a sure thing.

Even the boyfriend who had agreed to come out with him announced his relationship with someone else!

And that wasn't even the worst of it! The man he'd secretly loved for ten years suddenly returned from abroad, and now had a fiancee.

Gu Junyan didn't want to live anymore! But he couldn't bring himself to die, so he went to a nightclub to drink himself silly. After a few rounds, he met a man who looked seven or eight parts like the man he loved, and insisted on going home with him and taking responsibility for him.

As it turned out... once he was on board a pirate ship, there was no getting off.

When Tang Yize heard that the spoiled young master had been kicked out by the Gu family, he could no longer hold back and returned home. But he never expected that the young master was living so comfortably, and had even learned to get drunk at nightclubs. The boy he'd cherished in his heart for years leaned against him, hooked a finger around his, and said he would take responsibility for him.

Even knowing it was all pretend, Tang Yize couldn't refuse. Again and again, he asked hoarsely whether it was real or not...

A long, long time later, at a charity gala, Gu Junyan attended with his sworn rival. The rival was waiting to see him make a fool of himself, and had bribed a gossip reporter to ask what had changed in Gu Junyan's life after the Gu family threw him out.

Gu Junyan, now legally married to Tang Yize, world-weary, lit a cigarette and modestly said, "I guess I'm richer than before... maybe..."

Entertainment gossip reporter: ???

Sworn rival: ??? Weren't you supposed to be poor?!

One-on-one sweet romance, mutual secret crushes. The boyfriend he was supposed to come out with was vain, and the spoiled young master gets targeted by a con artist.

The fiancee is fake.
