After the Max-Level Detective Transmigrates into a Sickly Fake Young Master

A clever, seductive, snake-like uke × a domineering, arrogant, black-bellied-but-actually-sweet dog-like seme (a groveling-after-his-wife story)

Ruan Jiyu is the third young master of the Ruan family, a beautiful, sickly man with a congenital condition. After the family's real young master was acknowledged by his birth family, the pampered fake young master was married off in his place to Lei Ting, eldest son of the Lei family and heir to the Lei Group.

Lei Ting has a bad reputation, though not in that way. Everyone says he's cold, ruthless, and no good. But as the head of the Lei Group, which controls the entertainment industry and has built an entertainment empire, how could he be an ordinary man?

Everyone thinks Third Young Master Ruan is done for.

The ace detective of the Interstellar Peace Organization, code-named "Jiyu," failed a mission and jumped into the sea. When he woke again, he found he'd become a cannon-fodder fake young master in a novel about wealthy-family power struggles, and a pitiful invalid to boot.

In this novel with its bizarre moral compass, the real young master, Li Feng, is the protagonist. After being acknowledged by his birth family, Li Feng takes the name "Ruan Jifeng." He looks almost identical to Ruan Jiyu, like a twin, making him the perfect model for a substitute.

Li Feng, a high-level black lotus, is a third- or fourth-rate celebrity. He seduces Lei Ting and Ruan family's stepmother, steals the Ruan family's wealth, and even causes the deaths of Lei Ting and Third Young Master Ruan. In the end, he takes over everything.

"Huh?" The new occupant of Third Young Master Ruan's body looked utterly speechless. "That's it? Whatever."

And then he appeared on a variety show and became famous overnight, while digging up evidence was as easy as snapping his fingers.

It was just that, at some point, Lei Ting, who hadn't cared about him at all, suddenly started clinging to him again.

Reading guide:

1. The first half focuses on the entertainment industry, while the second half focuses on character growth. There are elements of pursuing leads and catching criminals, but they aren't the main focus.

2. There'll be a groveling-after-his-wife arc, but the wife has to be kind, or she'd have kicked him to death long ago (just kidding).

3. There'll be character growth. The leads' personalities will change slightly from the beginning to the end because a lot happens.

4. I kind of wanted to write an ensemble cast, but the framework doesn't really allow for one, so please bear with it. At least everyone should seem reasonably human, haha.

5. Feel free to leave comments, but Tangerine works like a slave to the job, so please be gentle. I don't want to come home after a long day, open the comments, and think the sky is falling, only to look again and see that it really has fallen (just kidding). More compliments, please! Don't hold back. Tangerine is very enthusiastic! Love you all!

Beneath Mingyuan

The story of a renowned general who picks up a wild child during a war, only to discover that he's the young crown prince.

Human trafficking is rampant along the border. General Yan Ming returns gravely wounded from a major battle, ends up in a bandit's den, and nearly gets sold as a pretty boy. At the last second, a little kid saves him. The general buys the child and raises him at his side.

He never expected the child to be the long-missing crown prince, a deep schemer who'd been lying low by his side, plotting to seize power and return to court. His schemes ran even deeper than those of the imperial palace.

Even more unexpected, the crown prince's feelings for him were not merely those of a son or brother...
