The Cannon-Fodder Stand-In Went to Find His Real Dad

Here's the blurb for my upcoming danmei novel: The Villain Dad's Struggle

In his previous life, Ling Qiyuan was kept as a stand-in for scum gong Si Jingbei's unattainable dream girl for his entire life, all because the two of them looked a little alike.

Later, he learned that he was actually living in a novel about someone transmigrating into a book. The dream girl, who had transmigrated into the book, wanted to get everything she desired. To do so, she had to ruthlessly drain the original protagonist Ling Qiyuan of his fortune, stepping over his corpse to reach the top.

To that end, the dream girl used her foreknowledge of the plot to lead her suitor, Si Jingbei, into keeping Ling Qiyuan captive. After learning that he was secretly the only son of the Yuan family, one of Haicheng's four great clans, who had been lost outside the family, she even tried to steal his identity and pass herself off as his father's child!

Reborn, Ling Qiyuan says: You guys have fun. I'm going to find my real dad!

By chance, he learns that the domineering, crab-like younger uncle of the Si family, Si Jincheng, shares his fortune.

To get along with him and benefit from each other's fortune, Ling Qiyuan picks up the art of tea without a teacher.

Ling Qiyuan sighs softly. "Someone as capable as Si, probably only a person like Ling Wenzhuo could be worthy of him. I'm so jealous. Other than this face, I'm no match for him."

To his surprise, Young Master Si believes him.

He decides that this poor little bottom, imprisoned by his good-for-nothing older brother, must secretly adore him and be desperately in love with him.

He immediately pats Ling Qiyuan on the shoulder and comforts him. "It's okay. You may not be as capable as him, but at least you have good taste!"

You have your eye on me, after all!

Ling Qiyuan: ...?

Wait, wasn't the point of what I said that I'm more handsome than him?!

Later, the dream girl Ling Wenzhuo finally hears about his sugary words and deeds.

Right in front of Si Jincheng, he angrily exposes Ling Qiyuan. "Some people pretend to be innocent to your face, but who knows what shady, disgusting tricks they're using behind your back to seduce men!"

Si the Crab, or rather, Young Master Si, gives a cold laugh. "You have plenty of men willing to stand up for you. He's got only me. Anyone who dares say a single bad word about him will have my boot on their head!"

Father Yuan: ? Do you think I don't exist?

Ling Qiyuan and Si Jincheng: ...

Upcoming danmei novel: The Villain Dad's Struggle

The villain Green, who spent his whole life struggling in the gutter, dies. When he wakes up, he has become Ye Junling, a scummy bottom and deadbeat dad who abandoned his twin sons for a man.

The twins are both strikingly beautiful, but the older one is timid and has a lame leg, while the younger one is perfectly healthy yet always watches him with wary, hateful eyes.

The two children are as filthy as little beggars. They stare at him with dark eyes, silent, while the family is so poor they can barely afford a meal.

System: Sweetie, just take good care of the two little ones and you'll get even more good luck with making money~

Green, or rather, Ye Junling, chews on a candy stick in place of a cigarette. What could be better than socialism, or two darling sons? Why would I want some lousy man?!

So, while he ties on an apron, washes his hands, cooks meals, and looks after the kids, people keep showing up one after another with money and opportunities!

Agent: There's a role playing a villain. It's a package deal worth 200,000. Want it?

Ye Junling: !!! I'll take it!!!

Isn't this better than selling my body??? And it's not illegal! Only an idiot would turn it down!

Sheng Junji, the youngest and most beloved son of the Sheng family, fell in love at first sight with Green years ago in an underground boxing ring in New York, where Green was drenched in blood and sweat, his eyes wild and defiant. Sheng Junji spent years searching the world for him, until the two were separated by death.

Having lost all will to live, he returns to China with a body ravaged by the injuries he suffered seeking revenge. A man whose face is identical to his lover's is brought before him. The man's taste in clothes and other preferences are completely different, but the candy stick dangling carelessly from his mouth gives Sheng Junji a faint sense of familiarity.

To earn money to raise the kids, Ye Junling, who has dollar signs in his eyes, sells himself to Sheng Junji. But after some time, he changes his mind.

The agent doesn't understand. Ye Junling bites down on a candy and frowns, feigning reluctance. "If you're keeping a stand-in but end up with the real thing, that's a whole different price!"

"It'll cost double!"

Note: The bottom is not reborn. Both kids are the biological children of the top and the bottom.

Theme: Rely on yourself to build a more beautiful life.
