He’s Genuinely Kind

[I have a habit of revising. During serialization, I may add or remove many details and passages. I’m not responsible for pirated versions. Thank you for liking the story~]

When Sheng Yu was eighteen, he was told that he was the fake young master, switched at birth with the real young master of the Sheng family, who had grown up elsewhere.

He packed his suitcase and left the home he had lived in for eighteen years. On his way out, he brushed past the real young master.

At that fleeting glance, he remembered the other man’s cold, sharp features.

…

Sheng Yu moved back to the narrow alleys and lanes, returning to the lively, noisy, financially pinched life he’d been accidentally diverted from for eighteen years.

At first, he wasn’t used to it.

One dark and stormy night, listening to the washing machine rumble like an earthquake, he nervously sent the real young master a message.

[I think your washing machine’s gone crazy.]

[Can you come save it?]

Lu Yuzhou: […]

The Sheng family’s pampered real young master got on his bicycle and raced off in the middle of the night to save the washing machine.

Sheng Yu felt bad about it, so the next day he told Lu Yuzhou: [Your water pipe burst, but it’s okay. I’ll call a repairman tomorrow. Good night, sleep well ^^]

Lu Yuzhou: “…”

The real young master got back on his bicycle and raced off to rescue a certain idiot.

On his way home from school, Sheng Yu had to walk through a narrow lane. It was deep and shadowy, with only one streetlamp at its entrance.

Later, someone stood beneath that streetlamp, silently holding a flashlight to light his way.

He’s such a good person.

That was what Sheng Yu thought.

Here’s a preview of an upcoming story: Is There Anyone Normal in This World?

In old-school wealthy-family novels, the male leads always have a first love who went abroad. Song Xuechi is one such character.

He accidentally discovers the plot of the book, then realizes

His domineering CEO fiancé is Top No. 1, his obsessive childhood friend is Top No. 2, and his gentle adoptive older brother is Top No. 3… They all see him as the apple of their eye, the cinnabar mark in their hearts, the moon in their world.

Song Xuechi: …Huh? But we haven’t been in touch for eight years. I went abroad, I didn’t die.

When he returns home, he discovers that there isn’t a single normal person around him.

At a glittering banquet, the official love interest accidentally spills a glass of red wine on Song Xuechi.

The domineering CEO fiancé furrows his sharp brows. “Achi, he’s just a fake. He could never come between us! I’ll have him kicked out of A City right now!”

Song Xuechi: …There’s really no need.

The official love interest accidentally breaks one of Song Xuechi’s favorite ornaments.

The gentle adoptive older brother grabs the official love interest by the throat, his expression twisted. “Did you do that on purpose?! Are you trying to get my attention?! I’m telling you, even if you smash ten thousand more, Achi will still be the only one in my eyes!”

Song Xuechi: …Won’t someone speak up for the ornament?

Song Xuechi suddenly develops acute appendicitis, and the doctor recommends surgery to remove his appendix.

His obsessive childhood friend clutches his hand, eyes bloodshot. “Achi, don’t be afraid. I’ll cut out his appendix and transplant it into you!”

Song Xuechi sits bolt upright on his deathbed: !!!

Are they crazy?

Is there anyone normal in this world?

At last, one day, Song Xuechi encounters the book’s biggest villain at an auction. As they brush past each other, he hears the man mutter with a sneer, “Tch, a bunch of lunatics.”

Song Xuechi: Wow! A normal person!

After a few encounters, Song Xuechi is sure that the villain, like him, is a fictional character who has become self-aware.

Song Xuechi asks gently, “Would you like to work together?”

The villain: “Sure. Come over and sign this cooperation agreement.”

Song Xuechi signs it.

Much later, he discovers a clause in the contract: The marriage alliance between the Song and Wen families is irrevocable. When necessary, Party B must fulfill their obligations as a spouse.

Song Xuechi: …

How can the villain be a real villain after all!

The true first love × the true villain

Song Xuechi × Wen Su
