The Hated Fake Young Master Is So Good at Acting Cute

Duan Yao wakes up to find he's transmigrated into a cannon-fodder character from a trashy web novel he read late last night.

This cannon fodder is a spoiled, pretentious, vicious piece of work who never does anything decent, and even stole Qin Mu's identity as the real young master.

With help from a circle of elite semes fawning over him, Qin Mu gets his identity back and rises to the top.

As for Duan Yao, before long, his legs will be broken, and he'll kick the bucket on a freezing winter street.

On the night he transmigrates, Duan Yao is shocked to discover a man lying beside him.

The man's sinister gaze falls on him as long, strong fingers close around his throat. "Why are you in my room?"

Duan Yao is stunned. Relying on his golden finger that lets him see the plot, he throws himself into the man's arms and coos, "Big Brother, this is my room. You're sleepwalking again."

The next day, a huge sum of money appears in Duan Yao's account.

The note reads: Let's pretend last night never happened.

Zhuang Jingxi, who'll have to go home and inherit the family business if he doesn't make it big, can't stand his teammate Duan Yao, who gets by on connections. He's planning to disband the group, and before their next promotional event, he threatens Duan Yao into slacking off with him.

Duan Yao obediently agrees. During a livestream, fans ask him to sing, so he says he's lost his voice. When they praise the explosive, manly dancing in his music video, he immediately jumps up and does a sweet girl-group dance, figuring he'll embarrass himself and get the group disbanded. But then...

Fans: He's a little princess! Sweet girls forever!

The livestream suddenly hits over a hundred million viewers!

Zhuang Jingxi looks at Duan Yao, at a loss for words: I can't believe he's still working so hard even after I threatened him. He must really like me.

Duan Yao just wants to survive on his beautiful looks and make enough money to run away, but the hapless semes keep getting harder to shake.

Something's wrong. The story is going more and more off the rails!

The elite semes:

"Yaoyao, you got home five minutes late today. You were naughty."

"Duan Yao, don't struggle. You can't leave this villa. You're mine!"

"Yao'er, I've transferred the shares in my company to your name. You understand what I mean, right?"

Duan Yao chooses his words carefully. "Have any of you considered the possibility that we're all bottoms?"

Duan Yao packs his bags in the middle of the night and prepares to flee with tens of billions in savings, tears in his eyes.

The real young master, Qin Mu, cuts him off halfway. "Xiao Yao, we agreed to be an exclusive CP. They're still filming the variety show livestream."

Duan Yao's escape fails.

Qin Mu looks at him with eyes full of longing, leans close, and murmurs in his ear, "You've been using my identity for so long. I need to take something back, don't you think?"

Then Qin Mu scoops up the still-dazed beauty and carries him toward the tent.

The livestream viewers are in an uproar:

Let go of my wife!

Turning off the lights? What could you possibly be hiding from us, your esteemed VIP viewers?

Seconded! I want to see the steamy stuff! Do you think I'm worried about using up my data?

Meanwhile, the other hapless semes are itching to get in on the action. Seeing their shy, beautiful wife in someone's arms on-screen, but not being able to touch him, is so damn [censored] frustrating!

The next morning, Duan Yao sits on the lawn with his messy curls sticking up, facing several men with suitcases.

"Duan Yao, which number will you pick?"

"No way," Duan Yao says. "This is a survival show."

"Darling," the powerful investors tell him, "it's a dating show now."

Synopsis for the upcoming story "I Accidentally Caught My Roommate Working as a Maid":

Chi Youshu has been the school's resident heartthrob since elementary school. He's had more admirers than hairs on his head.

Despite being so popular, he's a virgin. The reason is a little hard to explain: he seems to have a... problem.

His little brother just won't stand up!

His turning point comes one day when he wanders into a cafe by accident. After meeting a sweet maid, his little brother reacts.

Chi Youshu thinks he might still be fixable.

Then comes a bolt from the blue: the maid is a man!

Jiang Chun is a quiet, aloof, introverted top student with a hobby that could ruin his image: cross-dressing.

Working at a maid cafe gives him immense satisfaction. If only he hadn't served that customer that day.

The roommate he just argued with in the dorm shows up at the cafe, and out of more than a dozen maids, he picks Jiang Chun of all people?!

What a troublesome romance.

When the holidays arrive, Jiang Chun tries on his new work uniform in the dorm. Chi Youshu, who had already left campus, suddenly comes back.

Their eyes meet, and Chi Youshu feels betrayed.

Jiang Chun sighs. "This sort of thing is really hard to explain."

Chi Youshu is angry and aggrieved. "You have to make it up to me!"

Jiang Chun agrees.

But how did the one time they agreed on turn into countless times?

And why does Jiang Chun have to wear women's clothes every time?

He's really gotten himself into a mess, and the other guy is even threatening to make him take responsibility for the rest of his life!
