After the Humble Substitute Was Reborn

Zhuang Yuye had once been married. He'd once had a life of his own. But after three years of marriage, he finally learned that he had always been a stand-in for his husband Jiang Xiangcheng's one true love. A divorce agreement was pushed in front of him, and he was thrown out of his own home. On the night of his husband's engagement party with his one true love, he died in a car accident. He married Jiang Xiangcheng at twenty-two, divorced him at twenty-five, and that same year, his ashes were delivered to Jiang Xiangcheng. He thought Jiang Xiangcheng was already as scummy as they came, but the bastard was even worse than that. He held Zhuang Yuye's urn every day, calling him by his childhood nickname, and wouldn't even let him be laid to rest. When Zhuang Yuye opened his eyes again, he found himself reborn in the body of the young master of the mysterious, powerful Wanqi family. He was beautiful, adored by everyone, and cherished by his family. A friend found Jiang Xiangcheng and said, "Have you heard? There's a gorgeous young man who's been making the rounds of Beicheng's gay scene. If he sees someone he likes, he tells them he likes them on the spot. He's so sweet." He didn't think much of it. Until one day, he saw Zhuang Yuye in a bar, cornered by another man. Only then did he realize that the person making the rounds of Beicheng's gay scene was Zhuang Yuye. Jiang Xiangcheng hurried over, only to be met with Zhuang Yuye's scorn. "You've got the wrong person." Jiang Xiangcheng hid in the shadows, watching as other people pursued Zhuang Yuye. Zhuang Yuye smiled at everyone except him, while Jiang Xiangcheng's hands clenched at his sides and his eyes reddened with jealousy. When he heard Zhuang Yuye tell another man he liked him, he couldn't sit still any longer. P.S. 1. The bottom is reborn, but the top doesn't change. 2. Feel free to insult the scum top and the other side characters, but not the author, the author's work, or the bottom. 3. The bottom is the most beautiful, with a universally adored constitution. 4. Don't ask why the top doesn't change. I just want to write a crematorium story where the top stays the same. If this isn't your kind of story, don't force yourself to read it. There are plenty of great stories on Jinjiang, and I hope everyone finds one they like. Please add my other story, They Beg Me to Live Off Them, to your to-read list. Thanks! Synopsis: Ying Xiaoma is poor and has no grand ambitions. He just wants to find an extremely rich boyfriend. By chance, his childhood friend took him to the rich neighborhood. "Xiaoma, you're good-looking. If one of the young masters around here takes a liking to you, you'll go from a little sparrow to a phoenix. You'll have everything you want." Ying Xiaoma looked down at the twenty-yuan knockoff Converse he'd bought from a street stall, and found himself longing for those beautiful villas. The next day, Ying Xiaoma dressed up and sprayed on cheap perfume. He waited in the blazing sun in front of a garage, awkwardly trying to think of a way to strike up a conversation. Sure enough, one of the young masters took a liking to him, invited him into his car, and brought him into the world of the rich. He was like a duckling mistakenly placed among a flock of swans. Every move he made exposed how ridiculous and foolish he was, but he didn't realize it. He wore expensive clothes, thinking he had made it to the top. Everyone treated him well and complimented his looks. Only one person, Jiang Yi, the second young master of the Jiang family, looked at him with contempt, sarcastically telling him he was blind and foolish to let people lead him around by the nose. The second young master of the Jiang family was handsome, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Whenever he looked at someone, his eyes always held a shadow of menace. Ying Xiaoma didn't like Jiang Yi at all because Jiang Yi was always mean to him and even made him wear skirts. The more Jiang Yi put him down, the more determined Ying Xiaoma became. He had to find an extremely rich boyfriend. Later, those young masters actually told him to drink with an old man, then gave him tens of thousands of yuan as if they were tossing a piece of trash aside. Only then did he wake from his dream. He hadn't become a phoenix at all. He ran to the roadside and cried bitterly. Someone handed him a tissue. He said, "Thank you..." Then he looked up and saw Jiang Yi's shadowed face. Jiang Yi pinched his delicate chin. "You want to become a phoenix so badly?" "Then be nice to me, and I'll help you." "You know how to please a man, don't you?"
