Blurb
After becoming the real young master in a story about a wealthy family's real and fake heirs, Pei Xiuqing isn't the least bit happy. In the book, the real young master becomes depressed and jumps into the sea to kill himself.
But Pei Xiuqing is an upbeat young man of the new era. He's neither depressed nor interested in dying.
With the attitude of "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," Pei Xiuqing does his best to avoid the original melodramatic plot while working hard to fit into his wealthy new life.
After all, it's great having money to spend.
Get into a fight with the fake young master who grew up in the wealthy family? Not a chance. He'll start by being friendly, acting cute, hugging, and cuddling. A little psychological manipulation never hurts. After all, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine.
Get snubbed by the fake young master's childhood friend? Impossible. A friend's friend is still a friend. You're good to me, he's good to me, we're all good to each other. Perfectly circular logic.
Get cold looks from the wealthy family's eldest son? No problem. He'll play weak, act pitiful, and appeal for sympathy. The white lotus routine works wonders. If it doesn't work the first time, he'll try again. Even a heart of stone has to crack eventually.
Then there are the rich young men who, for some reason, can't stand him, and the social circles of the wealthy...
Pei Xiuqing has always believed in finding family wherever you go and making friends from all corners of the world.
Handsome faces are a dime a dozen, but he's the only one with a truly interesting soul.
To the people who like him, he's all "My sweet little darling."
To the people who don't, he'll make them like him anyway.
After all...
"I'm here to become part of this family."
P.S. 1. The protagonist is carefree and has the makings of a heartthrob, with a romance-focused plot. The characters he wins over all have one-sided crushes on him.
2. The love interest isn't one of the characters he wins over.
Theme: Be an upbeat young person of the new era
