Sincere Lies

“Cheng Zhenxin has no true feelings. He’s always been lying.”

The Cheng family was fabulously wealthy, but had only one son. Everyone said the only heir was so lucky that even Luck’s own mother would hug him and cry. He was that lucky.

Cheng Zhenxin was the lucky one.

He grew up adored by everyone, and by the age of twenty-six, he didn’t even have to worry about finding someone to marry. His parents arranged everything perfectly for him: the promising young Shen Zhou.

Then, on the day of the wedding, he bumped his head in a door and unexpectedly gained the ability to see the future.

In his vision, Shen Zhou was like Goujian, enduring hardship and biding his time. After Cheng’s parents died, he would dump Cheng Zhenxin, bring his ex-boyfriend into the Cheng family, take over the fortune that should have been his, and reach the pinnacle of success.

He wasn’t just unlucky. He was doomed!

.

Cheng Zhenxin hurried to ask his friend for help. His friend came up with a plan: The cleverest way to truly control someone is through their feelings. Win their heart first, then their body. Once you have both, why wouldn’t they obediently do as you say?

So Cheng Zhenxin began keeping Shen Zhou under constant surveillance, sticking close to him around the clock. By day, he used honeyed words to win his heart. By night, he wore him out and claimed his body.

Trapped by his status as the family’s live-in son-in-law, Shen Zhou could only “endure the humiliation.”

One day, Shen Zhou’s ex-boyfriend happened to pass by. Cheng Zhenxin hurriedly pinned Shen Zhou against the wall. “You’re mine. Don’t you dare look at anyone else!”

“But I was even willing to marry into your family for you,” Shen Zhou said, gripping that slender neck, his voice dangerous. “When are you finally going to look at me?”

With his clumsy lies, he caught a glimpse of the grandest love of all.

A foolish, rich heir who doesn’t get the hint, as the bottom, versus a cunning top who’ll stop at nothing to play hard to get and win him over. Two powerful men putting on an act for each other.

[Please Note]: 1. The ability to see the future doesn’t exist. The bottom really does have something wrong with his head.

2. The ex-boyfriend doesn’t exist either. It’s all a misunderstanding.

3. Updates usually come before midnight. If there’s no update, I’ll let you know.

4. The author’s Weibo is @Wu Ren Tang Yuan Yuan. I occasionally post little extras there, so feel free to stop by.

Synopsis:

XX transmigrates into a book. The original character is the young spouse the old duke married in his declining years. Not only does he have lovers all over the place, he also had the duke’s only child by his first wife killed, driving the old duke to his death. He’s the quintessential femme fatale.

XX thinks he can simply observe the required three years of mourning, wait until the mourning period ends and everyone has forgotten about him, then leave for good.

Who would have guessed that the old duke held a world-shaking secret? Whoever uncovers it can freely command the empire’s resources and wield power over all.

So after word of the old duke’s death gets out, men the widow knows and men he’s never met come knocking, all intent on inheriting him.

The Empire’s inheritance law:

After a person dies, their spouse, children, parents, and other relatives divide the estate. If the spouse is the only heir, their siblings, nieces, nephews, and other relatives must take care of the widow, who will then distribute the inheritance fairly.

XX: Who the hell drafted this law? I sincerely thank your entire family!

.

Knowing the original character is a lecher, the “heirs” all start competing for his attention. Today, one shows off his muscles. Tomorrow, another gives him a spaceship and an RV. The day after that, even a prince arrives bearing the promise of a future empress’s position. Their open and covert schemes never let up.

Even worse, a few of them really are the original character’s lovers. To keep from breaking character, XX has to play along while looking for a way out. So far, he’s managing.

Until one day, the old duke’s illegitimate son suddenly appears.

“Mother, you said you loved seeing me in all my decadent glory.”

He cuts his palm with a knife and smears the blood across his lips. Then he kneels on the ground and reverently kisses XX’s instep. “Do you still… like me?”
