The Hated One Is Reborn and Becomes the Moonlight in Everyone's Heart
Synopsis
If Lin Zhao had known that Duan Qingheng was the Lin family's true young master, he would never have brought Duan Qingheng home to bully him and let Madam Lin see his face for herself.
But he only learned later that there was no cure for regret.
Because of Duan Qingheng, his childhood friend and fiancé, Sui Yuan, called off their engagement and turned to pursue him instead.
His father, who had always indulged him, looked at him with disappointment and said, "Lin Zhao, I never thought you'd become so cruel."
Madam Lin, who had never liked him, made him give up the bedroom he'd lived in for eighteen years so Duan Qingheng could have it.
Later, everyone blamed him, their eyes filled with disappointment or contempt.
Lin Zhao, the spoiled young master of the Lin family, became a public enemy, hated by everyone.
Meanwhile, Duan Qingheng stood high above them all, smiling gently. Everyone praised his kindness, magnanimity, and intelligence.
But no one knew that in the dead of night, Duan Qingheng would grip Lin Zhao by the throat, make him kiss him and beg for mercy, then smile tenderly and say, "A-Zhao, you have only me. I'll protect you."
Lin Zhao believed it, too. When everyone thought he'd killed someone, Duan Qingheng was the one who reached out and took him home, gently wiping the tears and blood from his face as he said, "Don't be afraid. I'm here."
But that same Duan Qingheng turned around and got engaged to Sui Yuan, smiling at him with loving eyes on the big screen.
When Lin Zhao was sent flying by that car, he finally understood that stealing someone else's life really would make everyone hate him.
Including Duan Qingheng.
Later, Lin Zhao smiled at Sui Yuan and said, "I like you, but Duan Qingheng forced me."
Then he asked Duan Qingheng through tears, "Do you regret giving up on me, even a little?"
But by the time Sui Yuan went to prison for him,
And Duan Qingheng was disfigured and left disabled for him,
Lin Zhao no longer had the spoiled yet innocent smile he'd once worn, and he would never again trust anyone easily.
Couple: Duan Qingheng, the true young master, an outwardly gentle and kind gong who is actually vindictive, calculating, and ruthless x Lin Zhao, the fake young master and shou, spoiled and naive at first, insecure and down on his luck in the middle, and darkened by the end
The crematorium trope.
The true and fake young masters trope.
