The Fake Young Master's Antique Shop

My next novel will be *The Max-Level Expert's Honeymoon Trip*. The blurb is at the very bottom. If you're interested, go take a look. Thanks for your support. As the Lin family's nominal adopted son, Qu Qiuli had always been in an awkward position. The children of the wealthy families gave him a nickname: the fake young master of a rich family. So, as soon as his adoptive parents found their biological son, Qu Qiuli packed his things and left. He used what little savings he had to take over an antique shop. He even declared, "All antiques are guaranteed genuine. If one is fake, I'll pay you a billion times its price." The wealthy heirs laughed themselves silly. The fake young master was going to sell genuine antiques? Qu Qiuli smiled calmly, then transmigrated to ancient times, personally carried back a bronze ritual vessel, and donated it to a museum. His antique shop made a name for itself overnight! The wealthy heirs said, "A coincidence. It has to be a coincidence." Later, buyers posted calligraphy and paintings they'd bought. Experts authenticated every single one as the genuine work of a renowned master from the past. The wealthy heirs said, "??? They must be fake! I don't believe it!" Fake? Qu Qiuli smiled faintly. He had personally watched those masters create every one of those works. Later still, a second perfectly preserved gauze garment was restored in his cultural relics research studio, the lost secret-color porcelain was successfully recreated under his research, and more... The wealthy heirs said, "Have you no shame? Are you running an antique shop, or contributing to the cause of archaeology?" Meanwhile, that clueless real young master had already dropped by to visit for the eighteenth time this month. It was hard to tell whether he was there for the antiques or the person. In the dim, murky bronze mirror, Lin Xiangyu gazed at Qu Qiuli's indistinct reflection. "Ali, you're so beautiful." Qu Qiuli: "..." If I didn't know you were face-blind, I might have believed you. He must have meant the mirror looked beautiful. Fake young master, true nobleman, shou + X + clueless, devoted real young master, gong Reader's Guide: 1. The shou is nominally adopted by the gong's parents, but in fact they are merely his guardians. The gong and shou have never been registered in the same household! 2. Both the modern and ancient settings are fictional. Please don't assume they correspond to real places or times. 3. Both antiques and cultural relics can be called antiquities, but antiques can be sold and cultural relics cannot. Everything sold in the protagonist's shop is an antique. We're all law-abiding citizens. 4. The couple are each other's first and only. The gong dotes on the shou. You don't need to tell me if you drop the story. 5. If anything is inaccurate, feel free to point it out, but please don't argue just for the sake of arguing. Thanks! 6. Important note: Items brought back after transmigrating automatically age over time. Coming soon: *The Max-Level Expert's Honeymoon Trip*, with both leads undergoing quick transmigration. Two experts from the Quick Transmigration Bureau lived as neighbors for five years after retiring, then suddenly fell for each other. The two experts hit it off and decided to visit a few small worlds for their honeymoon. Desperate for staff, an employee at the Quick Transmigration Bureau had a bright idea and sent the two experts into mission worlds. The two experts have difficult temperaments. They were willing to do the missions, but only by their own rules. In the entertainment industry, a rising movie star and an up-and-coming director had been childhood friends, but a misunderstanding drove them apart. Mission: Reconcile in front of millions of people. The two experts scoffed, then publicly announced their relationship and went hand in hand with their nephew to appear on a reality show for kids. That counts as reconciling, right? Quick Transmigration System: "..." You're the experts. You decide. A regent plotting a rebellion and an incompetent king were on the verge of losing their country. Mission: Save the country and make it prosperous. But the expert who transmigrated as the regent headed straight for the imperial palace and offered himself as a bedmate, declaring that he wanted to become empress. The court officials said the country was doomed. The expert scoffed. Building infrastructure and reforming the government were their specialties. War between the immortal and demon realms was imminent when the two experts happened to transmigrate there. Mission: Maintain the balance between the immortal and demon realms. Across mountains and seas, the two experts exchanged a look and knew they were right for each other. So the disciples of both realms watched as the Immortal Lord threw himself into the Demon Venerable's arms. Then they shared a passionate kiss in front of everyone. The immortal and demon realms: "..." They must have started today's battle the wrong way. In the 1970s, the college entrance exams were reinstated. A sent-down youth and a young herder parted ways, never to meet again. Mission: Make up for past regrets. The two experts: Easy. We'll take the exams together, then leave together. The local villagers: That kid who herds horses hasn't even finished middle school. He thinks he can take the college entrance exams? The two experts rode across the grasslands on the same horse. The exams could wait. They'd have some fun first. In short, when you think the two experts are on their honeymoon, they're actually doing missions. And when you think they're doing missions, they're actually on their honeymoon again. Ling Qiusang (shou) appears sweet and obedient, but is secretly a monstrously powerful schemer: The guy next door is the top expert on the quick transmigration rankings. He's so gentle and refined, he must like sunny, cheerful boys, right? Shi Yi (gong) appears gentle and refined, but is actually calculating and devious: The little rascal next door suddenly changed his ways and is even trying to get close to me? Interesting! The best hunters often appear as prey. This cutie seems to think he's an elegant young nobleman? Well, then. Let's both play along~ Theme: A gentleman loves wealth, but acquires it by honorable means.
