When other people transmigrated into danmei novels, they became the male lead or a supporting male character, or at worst some random male passerby. Wen Si’s transmigration was different: he became a supporting female character whose name sounded like his own, Wen Si, the older sister of the protagonist gong.
Before long, Wen Si realized things weren’t what they seemed. The supporting character wasn’t a woman, but a man who dressed as a woman.
Even the protagonist gong didn’t know this secret.
Now that Wen Si had transmigrated into the story, the first thing he wanted to do was disappear and go back to being a man.
System: You can’t change the plot, or you’ll be sent away.
Being sent away meant certain death, so Wen Si had to think carefully.
Fortunately, even though the supporting character was the number-one fan of the main couple and the best wingman of the century, his role was still minor compared to the protagonist’s, and there’d be a long stretch when he wouldn’t need to appear.
So Wen Si took advantage of the time to switch back to men’s clothes and travel the world.
Unexpectedly, he was photographed on the street by a famous blogger and featured in a post. He shot to fame and made an unexpected debut!
From then on, everyone looked at him differently.
Including the younger brother he was related to in name only.
“You kept this from me for so long? My dear… big brother, hmm?”
① A cross-dressing, dishonest, theatrical shou x a domineering, quick-to-act, scheming CEO gong. 【Note: He’s quick with his hands, not a typical domineering CEO.】 No secondary couples. The System reshapes the body’s appearance, rather than taking over the original character’s body; the original had already left before the protagonist was brought in (and there are deeper reasons too). The original character and the original novel’s protagonists are not vilified. The story in the book hasn’t actually happened yet, so there’s no ruining the original protagonists’ relationship. The reasons for transmigrating into the book are revealed in Ji Mingjing’s bonus chapter. Every plot thread is resolved, and everyone kind-hearted gets what they deserve, including the original character and the original protagonists.
② Fake step-siblings, with the gong younger than the shou. They are not blood-related and aren’t on the same household register.
③ 1v1, both are each other’s first and only. Happy ending. Slow burn until they realize their feelings, then the shou is direct. Their relationship develops gradually and naturally. For those eager to see the secret identity exposed, check the table of contents for bolded hints. There are many foreshadowed details. Not recommended if you prefer a fast pace. Anti-piracy ratio: 70%.
④ The protagonist makes his debut later, but it doesn’t happen overnight; there are reasons and a process. The story takes place in the future, in 2035. The protagonist is focused solely on acting, with no idol-style fandom drama or scheming. There are only a few necessary scenes about filming and about the original character’s identity as a fan of the main couple, making up about 5% of the novel. The main focus is on a warm, everyday life.
⑤ Look at the cover! Note: long hair in women’s clothes, short hair in men’s clothes! The protagonist switches between the two; this isn’t a long-haired shou who wears men’s clothes. If you want a shou with long hair all the time, please check out the upcoming novels on my author page. Thanks! The cover character designs are licensed for commercial use. The female design was purchased from Taobao’s Chuangyi Original Design Studio, and the male design was purchased from another artist who sells commercial-use illustrations.
⑥ Please don’t turn off the “Author’s Notes.” I’ve carefully put together a reading guide based on readers’ comments and questions.
That makes six points, a lucky number! Let’s all get along~ Love you ^3^
Updated blurb for The Fake Young Master’s Gloomy Childhood Friend and Butler:
【A beautiful young master who has disabled legs but can really fight x his gentle, gloomy childhood friend and butler】
After being reborn, Le Han learned that he was the fake young master in a melodramatic, wealthy-family novel.
In his previous life, he hid his talents to win the protagonist gong’s favor, only to end up disgraced and take his own life by jumping off a building.
This time, he’d come to terms with things
Two goals: 1. Lie flat. 2. Make money.
As it happened, the motion-capture mecha game Satan launched and quickly took the internet by storm.
Le Han swept through the beginner levels in his wheelchair and made a fortune.
He’d meant to keep a low profile, but he was so good that when the powers-that-be failed to win him over with incentives or threats, they publicly exposed his secret identity.
At the crucial moment, when the cameras were hacked, the butler scooped him up in his arms. A white-gloved hand gently cupped his face, revealing half of his exquisitely beautiful features.
The protagonist gong who once demanded that he give in now came begging him to stay;
The powerful interests who wanted to buy his submission were now beneath his feet;
And his childhood friend and butler…
Le Han noticed that the pajamas he’d recently changed out of always got “accidentally dirty,” meaning the butler had to “wash them personally.”
His wheelchair kept “breaking down at just the right time,” leaving him no choice but to be “carried around” by the butler.
At a banquet, someone offered him a drink.
He accepted with a smile, but the butler, who had remained silent until then, suddenly stepped forward. “I’m afraid everything concerning the young master goes through me.”
That night, the man finally shed the restraint he’d always shown.
His white gloves were damp, and his voice was low and hoarse, just like the NPC in the lust-themed level.
He respectfully called Le Han “Master,” yet always lured him into losing control and giving in.
*
Everyone said Ling Yi was the perfect butler. Only Ling Yi himself knew the unspeakable desire he harbored for his young master.
He had created Satan with his own hands.
In the game, he used his disguise to cross the line as he pleased.
In real life, he was always refined and impeccably polite, with nothing anyone could fault.
Until the day the fake young master’s true identity came to light.
Everyone, including Le Han, thought Ling Yi should return to his proper place.
But Ling Yi walked toward him step by step and knelt on one knee, his white-gloved left hand resting over the third button of his uniform.
“Master.”
Only Ling Yi knew that whenever he made that gesture, he was imagining from this very angle how to usurp his master’s place.
#The shou’s legs are disabled, but he recovers later; his combat ability and looks are both top-tier
#For a reason, one of the shou’s two IDs is a female avatar. The game features giant mecha similar to Pacific Rim, with a focus on grit and tenderness. It’s all about the fun; you don’t need to play games to enjoy the story
#The gong really is gentle, and really is a yandere, madly in love and sometimes downright perverted
#Both are each other’s first and only. The shou had a fake ex-boyfriend, and he wasn’t in love with the original protagonist gong
#The shou’s surname has multiple pronunciations. Most readers pronounce it Yue, like “Yue” in “Mount Yue”; feel free to choose whichever pronunciation you like
Upcoming novel: Beta Trapped in a Double-Alpha Love Triangle
Shu Jing has had one ex and one current boyfriend.
His ex is an Alpha, a distinguished and composed big shot who is chief consultant at a top research institute.
His current boyfriend is a Beta, an unknown pastry chef from a small town: an affectionate, considerate, clingy puppy.
These two men, so different in personality and status, saw each other through a window one day.
Inside, the Beta pinned Shu Jing against the wall by the entryway, one hand supporting the back of his knee. “Does it feel good, big brother?”
Outside, the Alpha clenched his engagement ring as he listened to what was happening inside.
Later, the Alpha became Shu Jing’s colleague, still possessive as ever. “I never agreed to break up back then.”
The Beta provided a full service of driving him to work and bringing him meals, then mocked the other man. “Who volunteers to be cheated on?”
Just as their rivalry was heating up, an accident happened.
The Alpha pinned Shu Jing against a lab bench and kissed him. The Beta suddenly appeared, and the two top-tier pheromones clashed, shattering every pane of glass in the room.
Only then did Shu Jing learn that his current boyfriend was also an Alpha. Knowing Shu Jing had hypersensitivity to pheromones and was repelled by Alphas, he had carefully disguised himself and approached him.
Unable to bear it after learning the truth, Shu Jing left with an expedition team for half a year.
He never expected to come back to a document titled “Proposal for Dividing the Rights to Claim Him.”
His current boyfriend brought a spoonful of dessert to his lips. “Try it, big brother. It’s a new flavor.”
His ex draped a newly knitted shawl over his shoulders, his fingertips gently brushing the edge of Shu Jing’s collarbone. “I can accept you having other lovers, Xiao Jing.”
Current boyfriend: “I’m the legitimate partner.”
Ex: “The rules are first come, first served.”
Current boyfriend: “Unlike certain people, I respect big brother and will let him choose for himself: old love or new love?”
Shu Jing: … (his expression growing colder)
The two men said in unison: “We can work out how to divide up the months and days.”
Shu Jing: (the two bite marks on the back of his neck both started hurting) Should I… scatter their ashes?
#The protagonist shou is a Beta, Beta x two Alphas. A cool and aloof on the outside, gentle on the inside beauty who is as untouchable as a flower, x a younger sunny puppy who pretends to be obedient but is really a lovesick weirdo / an older childhood friend whose long-dormant passion reignites and who fights tooth and nail for him
#He remains a Beta and never becomes an Omega. Both the ex and current partner are devoted to him, body and soul
#1v2, no choosing between love interests; a rivalry between two Alphas fighting over their love interest. The shou is intimate with both men, but they don’t sleep together, in accordance with Jinjiang’s rules
Theme: Face your fears with sincerity, and you might get a delightful surprise
After so many years, I thought of this book and read it again. Occasionally, some of the plots still vaguely recall my feelings back then_(:з∠)_. It's really been a long time, and the teacher's pen name and the title of the book have changed (he said some meaningless words)
Damn, when will you open advance collection?
Oooh, I finished the novel I read before. It still feels warm and beautiful after a few years! ! Nice! ! !
Well done, a comic that didn't change the face hehe~ And at that time Wenwen should have really liked Wen Li, but she didn't know it and didn't admit it. It's such a shame ^O^/
When will the new article be published? I've been waiting for it for a long time. I don't know how long it has been sitting in my collection for pre-order.
The flowers are similar every year, and the people are the same every year.
