Coming soon: The Sickly Beauty and the Mad Dog. Follow it in my author profile.
Lu Yuan was born in a poor little town. He studied until one or two in the morning every day to get into a key high school, worked three part-time jobs a day in college to save money, and worked himself to the bone to earn a promotion and raise.
Then… one night, he suddenly dropped dead:)
Given another life, Lu Yuan decided to lie flat.
What’s the point of exhausting yourself every day? Wouldn’t it be better to lie around, slack off, and live like a lazy fish?
The day after he decides to slack off, a man claiming to be his biological father finds him and says he’s the missing young master of a wealthy family. Now they want him to return to the family and claim his heritage.
Lu Yuan is startled. Without hesitation, he bows to his ancestors in a flawless 360-degree prostration.
Of course he’ll acknowledge them! He has to! He’d even pay them to take him in!
After returning to his wealthy family, Lu Yuan slacks off with such earthshaking dedication that he’s like a mushroom growing on a bed.
Lu Yuan is perfectly content, but his father and three older brothers can’t stand it anymore.
…
The Lu family finds Lu Yuan a “live-in roommate”: Bai Yu, head of the prestigious Bai family, one of the most powerful families in the capital.
Bai Yu is a neat freak and highly disciplined. He can’t stand people like Lu Yuan, who does nothing but slack off or get ready to slack off.
The Lu family sends Lu Yuan to stay with Bai Yu, hoping he’ll straighten him out a little.
But then
One day, the Lu family visits the Bai residence to see Lu Yuan.
They get one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.
The good news: Lu Yuan has finally gotten out of bed.
The bad news: He’s lying on Bai Yu’s lap.

Coming soon: The Sickly Beauty and the Mad Dog
A blood relative of the Xu family who grew up away from them, Xi Chi is frail and sickly, a notorious invalid.
Afraid Xi Chi will die at home and bring bad luck to the Xu family, the head of the Xu family’s eyes light up when the old man next door, the head of the Xie family, hints at an arranged marriage.
The eldest son of the Xie family, Xie Jingchuan, is rebellious and flamboyant, refuses to be controlled, and is said to have a vicious temper and do as he pleases. The Xu family’s other young men are too good for him, but Xu Xichi is just right.
He’s frail and soft-natured. He’ll only get bullied if he marries Xie Jingchuan, but if he actually gets bullied to death, the Xu family can at least demand compensation from the Xie family. It couldn’t be more perfect.
As luck would have it, the old Xie patriarch is so old and dim-sighted that he’s also quite taken with Xi Chi.
The only problem is Xie Jingchuan himself.
When the eldest Xie son hears he’s being forced to take a fiancée, he stops skydiving and racing, flies home overnight, slams his palm on the old man’s tea table, and roars, “Who’d want to marry an invalid? If you want to marry someone, do it yourself, ”
He doesn’t finish. He catches sight of half of an exquisite profile seated to one side, veiled behind wisps of tea steam. He freezes for two strange seconds, then changes tack. “I don’t mind marrying him.”
Little scene:
When his childhood friends learn that Xie Jingchuan accepted the engagement and really intends to get married, they point at him in disbelief.
“Yesterday you said you’d rather die than get married!”
Xie Jingchuan stubbornly insists, “What can I do? The old man offered me too much. Besides, what’s wrong with getting married? It’s not like we can’t get divorced.”
Not long afterward.
In the hazy night, the big bed rocks gently. The satisfied man kisses Xi Chi’s pale, slender neck, thinking to himself:
He wasn’t wrong. It feels so good, it’s practically killing him.
“Sweetheart, I love you 😚”
Xi Chi: “…”
Who was it who said he wanted a divorce?
