Zhuang Feng Jun was the textbook example of "someone else's child," blessed with every advantage and the nightmare of every comparison-minded family in the neighborhood. But just after returning from studying abroad, Xu Xin Nuo heard that the Zhuang family was in trouble. Zhuang Feng Jun had been exposed as the fake young master in a switched-at-birth scandal. The darling of heaven had suddenly become an adopted son of uncertain origins, and it was unclear whether he would inherit any of the family business. After much thought, Xu Xin Nuo decided Zhuang Feng Jun needed to be taught a lesson. He'd put Zhuang Feng Jun beneath his feet and make sure he never acted so arrogant again. But unexpectedly, Zhuang Feng Jun had already lost the will to fight. At first. Xu Xin Nuo: "A mountain serpent will never become a true dragon. Never thought I'd see the day you ended up like this." Zhuang Feng Jun: "Mm. A fake like me was bound to be exposed eventually." Later. Xu Xin Nuo: "Hey, you don't have to put yourself down so much..." Zhuang Feng Jun: "No, you're right. I'll never covet what's not mine again." Later still. Xu Xin Nuo: "I've told you, no matter what happens, I've never looked down on you." Zhuang Feng Jun: "Really? I don't believe you. Otherwise, why won't you even go register our marriage with me?" Xu Xin Nuo accidentally got married young before he finally realized that Zhuang Feng Jun had just wanted to trick him into marriage all along. Zhuang Feng Jun: "Mm. I could trick ten little guys like you in one go." But Zhuang Feng Jun didn't want any other little guys. Zhuang Feng Jun had known someone for sixteen years, and had been in love with him for seven. They met when they were nine. He tutored him, took him out to play, and let him run wild in the most private corners of his life. Accustomed to giving and caring for him, Zhuang Feng Jun didn't know when the little moments had condensed into an unspeakable possessiveness. After all the twists and turns, he finally sheltered Xu Xin Nuo beneath his wings. Zhuang Feng Jun: I wasn't trying to set a trap on purpose. He was just so easy to lure in that I couldn't help myself. A gentle, scheming, smooth-talking fake young master top x a young master bottom who's made for him, because if I don't trick you, who will? #If all else fails, download an anti-scam app# Reading guide: 1. They're called archenemies, but they're really childhood sweethearts in big, bold letters. Same-sex marriage is legal in this setting. A lighthearted, sweet 1v1 romance. 2. The fake-versus-real young master plot doesn't turn into a fight. There are conflicts and growth, and sometimes they may be a little crazy (I mean mentally). 3.

The next one will be more obedient~ @Huang Tong Zuo Lun Coming soon: The Adopted Son of a Wealthy Family, Reborn When Chen Wen Gang was nine, his father died in the line of duty, and the Jin City Guo family took him in. He had to live under their roof and depend on their goodwill. His life took him from a wealthy household to a life of wandering. He knew the Guo family's eldest son was all show and no substance, yet he fell in love with him and devoted himself to him. Then came a lover's betrayal, conspiracies and fraud, natural and man-made disasters, and more rumors than he could count. Most of the children from prominent families looked down on Chen Wen Gang. At the darkest point in his life, Huo Nian Sheng, a playboy who had mocked him time and again, appeared before him and raised an eyebrow. "Weren't you so high and mighty? How did you end up in this sorry state?" Chen Wen Gang leaned against a wall covered in messy graffiti, a crumpled cigarette between his fingers and a vicious scar covering half his face. Huo Nian Sheng sauntered over and lit it for him. "If you really have nowhere to go, why not come with me?" Chen Wen Gang got into Huo Nian Sheng's car. Little did he know, taking his hand would mean giving him his whole life. No one knew why the shrewd and calculating Huo Nian Sheng was so devoted to a disfigured lover kept in secret, caring for him and making sure he was never cold or hungry, even giving up the glittering nightlife for good. Later, Huo Nian Sheng died in a cruise ship accident. In the letter he left Chen Wen Gang at the end of his life, he wrote: I never knew whether you ever truly loved me, even once. I'm sorry that I may never find out in this life. Later still, Chen Wen Gang was reborn at the age of twenty. He hadn't been disfigured yet, and he still had time to set many things right. There was one more thing he could do: give Huo Nian Sheng another chance. My love, if only you would stop and take a look. You would see just how deep my love for you runs.
