As a lazy homebody, Tian Yang was perfectly content running a guesthouse and writing now and then. One day, he found a handsome amnesiac kid and named him Tian Yingjun.
Three years later, Tian Yingjun had made the guesthouse a roaring success and stuck to Tian Yang like a puppy.
Once Tian Yang was sure the guy was merely suffering from amnesia and wasn't stupid, they fell in love and got married.
Who knew that the very next day, Yingjun's family would show up at their door?
It turned out Yingjun's full name was Chu Jingyu, heir to the richest family in Yancheng.
He also had a childhood sweetheart and fiance named Gu Xu, a movie star.
Tian Yang: "??!"
Did I freaking transmigrate into the bitter supporting character in The CEO Lost His Memory?
In the original story, Tian Yang was scorned as a country bumpkin and accused of using his past kindness to blackmail Chu Jingyu. The haughty Chu family gave him a million-dollar check to keep quiet. But he wouldn't leave them alone, and ultimately became a disposable extra in the main couple's fairy-tale romance.
Tian Yang recalled the plot and looked at Chu Jingyu, whose memory had returned and whose expression was cold. His heart sank.
When Chu Jingyu personally handed him the check, Tian Yang gave up completely. He smiled and took it. "Thank you, Mr. Chu."
The Chu family: "He really was after our family's wealth."
Chu Jingyu, his face taut, left with his fiance's hand in his.
Gu Xu looked back and shot Tian Yang a provocative glance.
Tian Yang didn't care in the least.
He thought he'd neatly escaped the fate of a disposable extra, but then the main couple specifically chose his guesthouse for a dating reality show. Soon, the whole internet learned about the amnesia fiasco, and everyone accused Tian Yang of taking advantage of someone who'd lost his memory.
Tian Yang immediately logged into his main account and fired back: "I spend money every year to get people on trending topics to help find their families. Are you all blind? As a screenwriter and producer, I refuse to cast Movie Emperor Wen in my dramas because he has too many scenes. And here's my [divorce certificate]."
The internet was stunned.
The paid marketing accounts kept mocking him: "Even the entertainment industry can't compete with a financial giant, can it?"
Before Tian Yang could grind his teeth, he noticed a whole string of people tagging him.
Tian Mom: "@LittleLazyFish, I've searched everywhere for a gay man from a family that matches ours, and not one of them is named Chu."
Internationally acclaimed director Tian, his big brother V: "Country bumpkin? The movie The Censor of Justice is about eighteen generations of our ancestors."
Tech mogul Tian, his second brother V: "Blackmail? The video of the Chu guy's IQ test is being promoted all over the internet. You're welcome."
World's richest man Tian, his dad V: "Financial giant? Ever looked at the world's richest people list?"
The internet erupted.
Movie Emperor Gu was horrified. Why was this different from what he remembered from his past life? Chu Jingyang was the richest man in the world!
Holding the divorce certificate, Chu Jingyu was full of regret. "Bro, at first I only pretended my memory had come back because I wanted to mooch off you and renovate the guesthouse. Now I'm working hard to become the richest man in the country. Is there a ticket for me to join the matchmaking pool?"
