Fake Daddy

Qiao Yu is a special kind of actor with an impressively broad repertoire. He can play the devoted boyfriend brought home for Lunar New Year, or the ruthless lackey who follows his boss around collecting debts. Nothing is beyond him.

One day, he lands a major gig. A prominent bachelor is being relentlessly pursued and can’t take it anymore. He needs an actor to help him put an end to the trouble.

Qiao Yu: “Mr. Shang, what type are you looking for? Sweet and innocent? Elegant? Sultry?”

Shang Mujun: “The type that makes sure there’s never any trouble again.”

Qiao Yu nods in understanding. “Got it. I’ll do my best to play your tough, feisty boyfrien, ”

Shang Mujun thinks for a moment. “No. You’re going to play the little devil of a son I had after fooling around with someone when I was fifteen.”

Qiao Yu: ?

Is that even right?

Shang Mujun: “The pay is 200,000 a day, paid daily. Benefits and bonuses are separate.”

Qiao Yu: “Absolutely, Dad! I’m great at causing trouble, Dad!”

Sorry, dear father I’ve never met!

Life as the son of a powerful tycoon is pretty enjoyable, though the wealthy really are a mess.

The tycoon’s supposed son is already such a little menace, and yet someone still drugs the tycoon’s drink, hoping to get pregnant and marry into the family.

The good news: The tycoon doesn’t take a single sip, so there’s no chance of accidentally making him a real son.

The bad news: The hardworking fake son, busy causing trouble, snatches the glass with a snort and drains it.

On the day the job ends, Qiao Yu is both delighted and a little wistful.

Delighted by all those lovely zeroes in his bank account.

Wistful because he and the tycoon never got to bring their fake father-son relationship to a proper end. Instead, it got tainted with…

a tiny bit of adult business, entirely by accident.

One day, Qiao Yu gets another call from a wealthy family.

-

Recently, the Fu family of Nancheng has found the young master who went missing years ago, and the entire upper-class social circle is abuzz.

Those with lukewarm ties to the Fu family are secretly waiting for a laugh. They hear the young master grew up in an orphanage and supported himself by working eight jobs a day. He’s a shabby country bumpkin who could never fit into high society.

But at the banquet the Fu family throws especially for him, the young man appears before all eyes, bright-eyed and handsome, bold and carefree. He looks every bit like a pampered young noble who grew up surrounded by adoration.

A powerful figure from Beicheng even shows up in person to offer his congratulations, leaving countless guests stunned.

Qiao Yu is cornered on the terrace by a man who has rushed over.

The imposing shadow of the tall man falls over him, trapping him in the corner with nowhere to run. “Xiao Yu, what kind of son are you playing this time?”

Shang Mujun’s eyes are dark. “When you’re swept up in the moment, will you throw yourself into his arms and call him daddy, too?”

Qiao Yu suddenly freezes.

He glances nervously behind Shang Mujun. “Uh, well…”

“This time, it’s not pretend.”

Shang Mujun freezes, too.

He slowly turns around and sees a middle-aged man with a livid expression: Qiao Yu’s father.

His real father.

Shang Mujun: ?!

Wait.

Shang Mujun: …

Shang Mujun: That’s not what I meant.

Shang Mujun: Dad! Let me explain.

Upcoming Novel

Fake Moonlight

Yu Tianxin suffered from a terminal illness for years. Frail and broken, he died full of resentment.

But after dying, he opened his eyes again.

He’d transmigrated into a book, into the role of the character sent abroad in a modern, wealthy-family, white-moonlight-and-everyone-loves-him novel…

Whatever the heck that book was supposed to be!

At last, Yu Tianxin had a healthy body. He jumped up excitedly, threw a few punches, grabbed his suitcase, and rushed outside.

Chapter One: The White Moonlight Returns!

At the airport, a flight attendant apologetically told him the flight was overbooked and moved him to a flight the next day.

Yu Tianxin: ?

The next day, he got into a car accident on the way to the airport and nearly died all over again.

On the third day, an unusual heavy fog grounded every flight at the airport.

…Isn’t this supposed to be one of those novels where the white moonlight is adored by everyone? Why won’t anyone let him return home?!

Yu Tianxin was shocked. Yu Tianxin was confused. Yu Tianxin read the entire original novel.

The Yu Tianxin in the book really was the white moonlight everyone yearned for, but he wasn’t the protagonist. The protagonist was his younger brother, Yu Zhiyun.

After Yu Tianxin went abroad, Yu Zhiyun won the hearts of everyone who had once been infatuated with him, thanks to his similar looks and sweet, innocent personality. His older brother, his childhood friend, his upperclassman: they all fell for him.

Over the course of five years, the replacement right in front of them became the heartthrob everyone fought over, while the white moonlight far away became the most hated person around.

The day Yu Tianxin finally returned home would mark the beginning of his fate as a universally despised stepping stone.

Yu Tianxin: …What kind of stupid-ass plot is this?

Yu Tianxin: Damn it, if you miss me, come visit me abroad!! Is getting on a plane really that hard?!

…All right, apparently it is.

Beneath the blue sky, Yu Tianxin stared at the massive machine that wouldn’t be taking him anywhere for the next five years and gave a cold laugh.

So it won’t let me fly home because it’s not my turn in the story yet, huh?

Just you wait.

-

Two months after Yu Tianxin went abroad, the Yu family went bankrupt and his father fell gravely ill. Even the eldest son, who had long since cut ties with the family, returned home. Yet Yu Tianxin, the second son who had been cherished by the whole family, never asked after them.

Yu Zhiyun, the youngest son who had always been overlooked, explained through tears, “Brother didn’t mean to. He just can’t accept that the family has ended up like this… Maybe he’s just too busy…”

The usually composed and reserved eldest brother’s expression darkened. He called Yu Tianxin, but there was no answer.

Just then, the gentle upperclassman was about to attend a conference in F Country. He furrowed his brow. “I’ll go see what Tianxin is so busy with.”

A week later, the upperclassman returned home, looking dazed.

When the others asked him what had happened, his Adam’s apple bobbed. Rarely, he wore a cold, contemptuous expression as he said, “Tianxin really is too busy. He’s too busy to see any of you.”

People began to hate the once-elegant, noble white moonlight.

And the upperclassman quietly made fifty trips to F Country in a single year.

Meng Xia was the last of them to reunite with Yu Tianxin.

He couldn’t understand it. His childhood friend had always been so hypocritical, despicable, and cold. So why had the people who’d seen through Yu Tianxin’s true nature one after another betrayed Zhiyun?

Zhiyun was so wonderful. He would never be blinded like those idiots!

Amid the airport’s clamor, Meng Xia heard someone call Yu Tianxin’s name. He followed the sound with scorn in his eyes.

Then he forgot how to breathe.

A slender figure approached, reflected in the glass wall. The young man stood tall and straight, his uniform neatly framing a pair of long legs. The gold tassels on his epaulettes caught the light as he walked. Striking features, thin lips.

It was Yu Tianxin, whom he hadn’t seen in five years.

Yu Tianxin gave a half-smile to the man approaching with flowers. “You again? I told you, I don’t have time for a relationship right now.”

The man naturally took the flight case from him. Meng Xia had only ever seen that refined, aloof face on television, but now the man leaned down to coax him. “I know. That’s why I’m waiting for the day you become a captain.”

“Luckily, it’s not far off. Tianxin, you’ll be the youngest captain in history.”

Once, so many people had waited for Yu Tianxin.

But the Yu Tianxin before them seemed even more dazzling and captivating than before.

Meng Xia stood rooted to the spot, instinctively wanting to reach out and grab the childhood friend who had once been closer than anyone.

Surrounded by countless ardent gazes, Yu Tianxin raised an eyebrow and smiled. The roses in his arms filled the air with their fragrance as he brushed past Meng Xia.

He didn’t even look at him.
