After waking up and seeing his parents growing thinner by the day because of the crisis, Zhong Yunwan decides to follow the plot of the book. He goes to the alley where he met the protagonist top in his dream, and sure enough, a man heroically saves him. But after knocking everyone out, the man wipes the blood from his face, glances at Zhong Yunwan, and walks away. Zhong Yunwan panics. Why isn’t this going the way the book said it would? = Xi Yan, the future villain and head of the Xi family, has a violent temper. One day, after dealing with the men his rival sent after him, he beats up a group of thugs in the alley who look like they might be accomplices. Blood drips to the ground from the sharp line of his jaw. He’s just about to leave when someone with a death wish tugs on his sleeve. Beneath the dim lights, a pretty, well-behaved young man looks up at him, nervous but full of hope. “Excuse me, would you marry me?” Xi Yan narrows his eyes and studies him for a moment, then nods. Taking him home as a little plaything might be nice. = After the wedding, Zhong Yunwan feels that Xi Yan is nothing like the protagonist top from his dream. The protagonist top in his dream was gentle, considerate, and indulged his every whim. But Xi Yan is cold and quick to anger, always picking on him and threatening him with divorce at the slightest provocation. It’s not until a banquet that Zhong Yunwan sees an elegant man holding court in the crowd and realizes he’s been mistaking one person for another all along. That night, Zhong Yunwan angrily grabs the divorce papers and storms into the study, only for Xi Yan to tear them up. The next day, Zhong Yunwan is teary-eyed and tries to go home, his body aching and weak. A hand pulls him back. The man brushes a finger over the corner of his reddened eye and says in a husky voice, “You’re not allowed to go looking for someone else.” * This story is also known as #My Husband Turned Out to Be Someone Else’s# #If I Picked Him Up, He’s Mine ^^# A sweet, clingy, polite, and well-mannered young master × a bad-tempered villain with an overwhelming possessive streak 1.

Please add it to your collection!] Synopsis: Yu Tingyu, the youngest legitimate son of the Duke’s household, grew up surrounded by luxury and adoration. One day, he accidentally fell off his horse and landed in a book set thousands of years in the future. To make matters worse, he became a cannon-fodder character who wouldn’t survive even half the book. In the plot, the cannon fodder goes to great lengths to marry the protagonist top’s older brother, just to get back at the protagonist bottom, whom he can’t stand. After the wedding, he tries to seduce and butter up the protagonist top’s older brother while using every vicious trick he can think of against the protagonist bottom. The protagonist top’s older brother is the mastermind behind everything in the book, and he watches it all unfold with cold indifference. In the end, the cannon fodder meets such a miserable fate that Yu Tingyu can’t bear to look. Yu Tingyu arrives on the night of the wedding. Without permission, the cannon fodder has slipped into the master bedroom and is lying in bed, waiting for the protagonist top’s older brother to come in. Yu Tingyu has only just poked his head out from under the covers when he locks eyes with the stern-faced man at the door. Yu Tingyu: qwq Waaah, he’s so scary. He wants a divorce! * Qi Zhaoyuan has only been back in the country for a few days when his elders arrange a marriage for him. He hates people who plot behind his back, and feels nothing but disgust for the wife he’s never met. After the wedding, Qi Zhaoyuan discovers that his little wife is not only timid but a little dim, too. One day, the housekeeper brings home milk tea. His little wife carries a cup over to him, blinking as he asks how to drink it. Qi Zhaoyuan helps him put in a straw, expressionless. “Put your lips around it.” Yu Tingyu nods as though he understands, parts his pale pink lips, and obediently wraps them around the straw. Qi Zhaoyuan presses his thin lips together, his Adam’s apple shifting almost imperceptibly. Hmph. A clumsy attempt at seduction. * At first, Yu Tingyu hears people say that his engagement to Qi Zhaoyuan will last only a year. He spends the year on edge, keeping his head down, then tries to drop hints to Qi Zhaoyuan that they should get divorced. Qi Zhaoyuan pulls out the English contract with a cold expression and points to a line. “Our marriage agreement is permanent. Whoever asks for a divorce will be in breach of contract.” Yu Tingyu takes it, staring at it over and over without understanding a thing. He puffs up with anger. Why is he picking on Yu Tingyu for not understanding foreign bird-language! * When people hear that the neglected young master of the Yu family has married the head of the Qi family, they all think Yu Tingyu has just thrown himself into a fire. Who knows what fate awaits him? Even the Yu family cuts ties with Yu Tingyu completely, afraid of getting dragged into trouble. But at a banquet, everyone sees the fearsome head of the Qi family holding Yu Tingyu’s hand tightly, never letting him out of his sight. When the Yu family tries to approach and make conversation, the man doesn’t even spare them a glance. He only focuses on feeding the boy at his side dessert, wiping crumbs from the corner of his mouth with his thumb. Everyone is stunned. Wasn’t he supposed to have thrown himself into a fire? A delicate, obedient sweetheart bottom who’s a little illiterate × an older, scheming top with an overwhelming possessive streak Theme: Change your fate through your own hard work.
