Blurb:
In his previous life, Wen Yao protected the young emperor and put the court in order.
He devoted himself to his duties and poured his heart and soul into his work,
until overwork made him ill, and he didn't even live to see thirty.
After being reborn,
he becomes the scheming fake young master in a revenge novel about the real young master's rebirth.
He has just been persuaded to run away from his wedding and has fallen from the second floor, knocking himself unconscious.
According to the original plot,
the fake young master will run away from the wedding again on the day of the marriage alliance,
bringing shame on his family and making the Wen parents lose all hope in him and grow to hate him,
before they finally kick him out, leaving him destitute and miserable.
Wen Yao, who's ready to make a fresh start in this new life, says:
Why run away? Wouldn't a marriage of convenience, where we mind our own business, be great?
I'll have food and a place to live after we marry, and won't have to worry about making a living.
That'll leave me free to play the qin, grow flowers, drink tea, and enjoy an easy life.
Unexpectedly, on his wedding night, he sees a familiar face.
Wen Yao is overjoyed. "Wonderful! Lambs kneel to nurse their mothers, and crows feed their parents in return. This life, I'll be counting on you to let your teacher enjoy a life of leisure."
The man grabs his wrist and pins him to the bed, nodding obediently.
"All right. A Yao, you just lie there."
Wen Yao: ??? This isn't how it was supposed to go?
But... it doesn't feel too bad. Never mind, I'll lie flat and enjoy it for now.
Wen Yao is determined to be a lazy fish.
During the day, he casually streams himself playing the qin, growing flowers, making tea, and playing chess,
calling himself a freelancer.
At night, he lies flat and lets an emperor of the ages take care of him,
claiming it's all to help his student practice how to maintain harmony between husbands.
Life really is wonderful.
Until one day, he accidentally shows his face and goes viral online.
As he ends the stream, viewers flood the chat with, "Good night, handsome! Love you!"
He smiles lazily and replies offhandedly, "Good night, good night. Love you, mwah!"
The camera is still on when a handsome young man suddenly appears in the frame,
looking angry and hurt.
He says coldly, "You can't say those two words to anyone else."
Then he pins Wen Yao down and kisses him until he almost suffocates.
Wen Yao looks wearily at the screen full of "WTF" and
suddenly realizes that being a lazy fish isn't so easy after all.
