Blurb:

Duan Qing was never accepted by high society.

He was the unwanted burden his birth mother brought into a powerful family, and a stain his birth father wanted to forget.

After being kicked out of the family, he used his stunning looks to get a temporary job at a bar.

On his first day at work, he met a young man who got drunk after just one sip:

Cool and aloof, refined and distant, like a crane that had wandered into the mortal world.

Doing his duty as a service worker, Duan Qing went over and contacted the young man's family. But as he was leaving, the young man touched the coral beads on his wrist.

Footsteps sounded. A wealthy woman who had arrived just in time frowned at the beads.

"So you're the young man seducing my son? He actually gave you these heirloom beads!"

Duan Qing said, "Ma'am, this is actually a misunder, "

Then she threw a check for one hundred million at him.

The moment he was hit with one hundred million, Duan Qing was overwhelmed with gratitude.

He thought he'd reached the pinnacle of life.

Until he found out it was one hundred million Zimbabwean dollars.

Everyone knows that one hundred million Zimbabwean dollars is worth only 0.5 RMB!

Duan Qing hadn't even had time to explain the misunderstanding. "..."

He saw the wealthy woman's contempt and mockery of someone beneath her.

But he was a fun-loving guy who excelled at handling humiliation, so

"A mere hundred million can't buy our love!"

Under the woman's mocking, humiliating gaze, Duan Qing stood in red, bold and carefree, smiling at her as brilliantly as fireworks.

He took the young man's hand and declared loudly:

"Mom, our love is true!"

The wealthy woman, who was actually the young man's stepmother: ...

Xie Jinzhou, whose hand was being gripped tightly: ...

Later, a video of the incident made it online, and the internet exploded.

No one thought two people from such wildly different backgrounds could end up together.

Until the private banquet hosted by Old Ship King Xie. All the prominent guests saw the refined heir of the Xie family kneeling before the ancestral hall, lowering his long lashes as he tied the coral beads, a symbol of the family head's authority, around Duan Qing's wrist.

*

In the eyes of the heirs of elite families, Xie Jinzhou was the moon itself.

As the sole heir to the Xie family, he was always far out of reach, unattainable.

Until one day, he met Duan Qing.

Then Duan Qing pulled him down from his pedestal.

*

That night, Duan Qing sat in his bedroom, answering questions in his livestream.

"The difference in status? Seduction? No, we're obviously true love."

"How do we love each other?" Duan Qing rambled along with the chat. "I cook soup and make clothes for him, and every night..."

The viewers tutted. "Rich families really aren't easy to marry into."

"Qingqing."

A cool, clear voice came through the livestream. Xie Jinzhou approached Duan Qing with a bowl of lychees. His icy features no longer seemed distant in the warm light. "You forgot to eat fruit again today."

Duan Qing was still staring at the livestream. "Every night, I serve him..."

Xie Jinzhou said, "Spit the pits into my hand."

The viewers, who hadn't even had time to pull up their pants: ...

Wait, which one of you is serving the other?

#How a Hundred Million Bought Me a Great-Grandfather#

Xie Jinzhou x Duan Qing

The moon in the sky x mud on the ground

Secretly flirtatious x openly flirtatious

[Reader's note]

The author's usual style: a hilarious, ridiculous comedy.

High school setting, chaotic teenage days.

Both each other's first love. They're inseparable, and they save each other.

Coming soon 1

The novel had written Lin Ci's fate as utterly worthless:

A lowborn gold-digger, a cannon-fodder character meant to highlight the protagonist's goodness, and the only bright spot in his life was saving Xie Yun Zhan, heir to the Xie family.

According to the plot, he would steal documents from the Xie family out of greed and die miserably in prison.

After awakening to the memories of the original story, Lin Ci opened his eyes in the hospital. Xie Yun Zhan, whom he'd recently saved at the cost of his life, stood beside his bed, looking down at him and asking if he wanted to go home with him to the Xie family.

Not wanting to get entangled with the original story's top, Lin Ci pushed Xie Yun Zhan against the wall and exclaimed in alarm:

"No, no, no! I saved you for the money!

Give me ten million, and we'll go our separate ways!"

"..."

After a deathly silence, Xie Yun Zhan brought a lawyer and added a few zeroes to the ten-million check.

The lawyer said, "The young master's saying he'll give you one hundred million to stay."

Lin Ci: ?

Lin Ci dropped to his knees. "Thank you, Dad. But should we draw up a gift agreement first?"

Xie Yun Zhan came from one of the most powerful families. He was cool and aloof, and his life had always gone smoothly.

Until one day, he met Lin Ci.

Then his world turned into a hand grenade.

[A little scene]

At eighteen, thinking of Xie Yun Zhan's supposedly bumpy love life in the original story, Lin Ci earnestly gave him some advice. "When you meet someone you like, don't be cold, don't be reserved. Be gentle and considerate! And don't be afraid to try some spicy roleplay when the time comes!"

Xie Yun Zhan put down the comb he'd been using to fix Lin Ci's hair and said, "Okay."

Okay. I don't mind.

That one hundred million back then was a gift, a tie that bound us together.

It was also a contract selling myself to you.

From then on, time flew and the plot brought one complication after another, but you were always the only one in my heart.
