The Black Lotus Pretended to Be Good, Then Got Exposed

Cheng Qingyang woke up to find that he'd become the replaced bottom in a novel about switching bottoms.

In the book, he was sweet and obedient on the surface, but full of wicked schemes behind the scenes. He fell for the villain's tricks and betrayed the person he shared a bed with, sending Wen Zhen's career into free fall. After they broke up, he kept begging to get back together and tormenting the true bottom, constantly finding new ways to bring about his own doom. In the end, the top killed him.

Cheng Qingyang transmigrated right as his true nature was starting to show, making Wen Zhen suspicious.

Cheng Qingyang: Wait! Can't I just keep pretending to be obedient?!

When Wen Zhen is around, Cheng Qingyang: Why does this game have a killing people feature? I'm done playing...

When Wen Zhen isn't around, Cheng Qingyang takes on the villain alone and knocks him flat: I'm warning you, stop coveting Wen Zhen (and his money).

Cheng Qingyang makes soup for Wen Zhen, speaking softly and affectionately, calling him "hubby" over and over in the sweetest, most obedient voice.

That very day, Cheng Qingyang's search history: How to poison my boyfriend and his future lover, then take over their family fortune?

Wen Zhen calmly set down his soup spoon, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and looked at the photo of his little wife pinning his nemesis to the ground. With great interest, he said, "Pretty obedient."

Everyone else: ?

That night, Wen Zhen bit his little wife's ear. "If I'd known you were this wild, darling, I wouldn't have pretended."

Cheng Qingyang: ...Is that really your character?

Gentle, deceptively sweet, scheming top x pure-looking, poisonous-hearted black-lotus bottom
