The Money-Grubbing Real Young Master Is Carrying the Movie Emperor's Baby

As the real young master who was maliciously switched at birth, Luo Jianyu struggled to survive for eighteen years. Then, out of nowhere, he awakened to the fact that he was a character in a book and learned that he had been born into a wealthy family.

He immediately set out to find his relatives and successfully returned to the Luo family.

But the blood relatives waiting for him looked down on him. They despised his impaired hearing and everything he said and did, and they were wary of him, afraid he might hurt the fake young master.

Luo Jianyu didn't care. He only wanted to get money out of the Luo family.

Father Luo said, "Look at the way you eat, like you're starving to death! You're an embarrassment to the Luo family!"

Luo Jianyu held out his hand. "Give me money. I'll buy more good food and stuff myself until I stop being so uncultured."

Mother Luo said, "How can you wear slippers to a banquet? Don't you know anything about proper etiquette?"

Luo Jianyu: "You only prepared clothes for me. Whatever, give me money and I'll buy my own."

Eldest Brother Luo said, "Your English sounds so provincial. You're nothing like your little brother. He speaks three foreign languages."

Luo Jianyu: "Give me money. I'll take classes and improve myself so I won't hold the Luo family back."

The youngest Luo son, the fake young master, pleaded, "Even though the engagement was originally yours, could you please not try to steal Brother Jingqiao from me?"

Luo Jianyu: "Give me money and I'll help you win him over."

The Luo family was furious. "This poor little deaf guy is obsessed with money! He's got no human warmth at all. Every time he opens his mouth, all he does is ask for money!"

Luo Jianyu: "Give me money and I'll keep quiet and behave."

The Luo family: "..."

Ruan Jingqiao is the heir to the Ruan family, one of the most established wealthy families in Beicheng, and a top-tier star and hugely popular actor.

When he heard that the Luo family's real young master had returned, Ruan Jingqiao sought out Luo Jianyu.

Luo Jianyu said sensibly, "Don't worry. As long as you pay me enough, I'll stay far away from you."

Ruan Jingqiao shook his head, looking perfectly composed. "No. I want to pay you to enter a marriage contract with me and join me on a variety show."

Luo Jianyu already had bad hearing, so he wondered if he'd misheard.

Ruan Jingqiao handed him a check and a contract. "Fifty million. One year of marriage, paid in full upfront. The variety show pays separately. If you agree without hesitation, I'll throw in a doctor to treat your ears."

Luo Jianyu signed on the spot, afraid that even taking an extra breath might make Ruan Jingqiao think he was hesitating.

It wasn't until nightfall that Luo Jianyu realized earning that fifty million wasn't going to be as easy as he'd thought...

Was Ruan Jingqiao's stamina a little too good?

And with a marriage contract, was it really okay to hug and kiss and take off each other's clothes?

Ruan Jingqiao held Luo Jianyu, who looked like a collectible figurine in his arms, as they read through the contract together. In black and white, it said they had to fulfill their marital duties.

Ruan Jingqiao said in a low voice, "Baby, you should read a contract carefully before you sign it."

Luo Jianyu, whose back and legs ached: "...What baby? Give me money. I need something good to eat to build up my strength."

Ruan Jingqiao: "I'll give you money. Say it louder."

Luo Jianyu: "...Are you deaf, or am I?"

Later...

During a survival variety show broadcast live from start to finish, Luo Jianyu had to see a doctor because he was nauseous and vomiting.

Luo Jianyu weakly reached out to Ruan Jingqiao. "The wild greens you dug up must have been dirty. Give me money for nutrition expenses."

The doctor furrowed his brows and announced, "You do need extra nutrition, Mr. Luo. You're pregnant."

Luo Jianyu: "???"

Ruan Jingqiao: "?!?!"

The viewers: "Aaaaaa! Don't make a pregnant man do wilderness survival! Holy crap, a man is pregnant!"

※ My next book is "The Cannon Fodder Study-Abroad Student Accidentally Hooks His Roommate's Uncle." Please add it to your to-read list!

Blurb: Yun Yan transmigrates into a book as the real young master who is eventually sent abroad and forced to study overseas.

The bad news is that his birth family is afraid he'll get money and sneak back home, so they won't give him a cent for living expenses. He'll have to work to support himself.

Yun Yan, a sickly weakling who can't lift a finger: "Get a job? Me?"

There's no way he's getting a job. If he works himself sick, what he earns won't even cover the medical bills. Healthcare is really expensive abroad, okay?

But he urgently needs to figure out how to pay for food.

Just then, his roommate, a spoiled rich kid supposedly from a local aristocratic family, gave him a suggestion: "How about finding a sugar daddy? My dad would be perfect. He's single!"

Yun Yan: "???"

His roommate was going through a rebellious phase and wanted to dig up dirt on his dad for a laugh, so he enthusiastically advised Yun Yan to get money from him.

Yun Yan had gone hungry for two days and looked more gloomy than the local weather. Facing reality, he agreed to his roommate's shady plan.

Roommate: "First, you have to dress as a woman, because my dad doesn't like men."

Yun Yan: "...???"

Roommate: "Second, you have to know how to cry. My dad has really conventional tastes. He likes the delicate, innocent type."

Yun Yan gave it a three-second try, then decided to bring eye drops.

Roommate: "Finally, if things go wrong, don't tell him I put you up to it."

Yun Yan: "No problem."

Armed with his roommate's conquest tips, Yun Yan put on a cute dress and a long curly wig, ready to rake in the cash.

His roommate's dad was a handsome, striking Anglo-Chinese man, generous with his money and, most importantly, incredibly easy to win over. Yun Yan barely had to try before he had him hooked.

Designer bags and watches, diamond jewelry, fine clothes and luxury cars, huge checks... The more Yun Yan accepted, the guiltier he felt. When the man gave him a mansion and wanted to sleep with him, Yun Yan finally couldn't keep up the act and ran away.

He put away the dress and wig, went back to school, and diligently worked on his papers. He didn't even dare leave campus.

*

Laisting, an elite business tycoon from an aristocratic family, had recently met a very interesting young person.

Although his attempt at dressing as a woman was terrible, his face was undeniably beautiful.

Although his fake tears came with eye drops falling onto the floor, his personality was undeniably adorable.

Although the young person kept asking him for money and luxury goods, Laisting had more than enough of both.

Yun Yan always turned down his advances. Laisting assumed he was shy and didn't rush him. After all, Yun Yan wasn't in good health, so he deserved extra care.

Then Yun Yan ran away.

Laisting looked at the breakup letter left in the mansion and laughed in exasperation.

*

After Yun Yan called it quits, his roommate went home, cheerful and ready to laugh at his dad. Then he screamed in horror, "Holy crap, wait! Why is it my uncle who got dumped, is heartbroken, and is searching everywhere for someone?!"

Yun Yan: "???"

Yun Yan and his roommate compared photos and belatedly realized what had gone wrong. When his roommate had sent the photo remotely, his hand had slipped and he'd sent the wrong one!

Yun Yan had meant to hook his roommate's dad, but he'd hooked his roommate's uncle instead.

His roommate dropped to his knees in front of Yun Yan. "You managed to win over my uncle, of all people? He's tighter with money than Scrooge!"

Yun Yan, feeling guilty and confused: "He's not stingy. He's pretty generous."

Roommate: "..."

Neither Yun Yan nor his roommate could deal with the consequences of hooking the wrong person, so they agreed to keep it a secret and never speak of it again.

Then one day, Yun Yan returned to the dorm and found his roommate looking guilty, while Laisting sat in Yun Yan's seat, his tall frame filling it.

Laisting smiled at Yun Yan. "Long time no see, baby."

Yun Yan insisted, "You have the wrong person."

Laisting: "Then why are your 'girlfriend's' dress and wig in your closet?"

Yun Yan: "..."

Going through someone else's closet isn't something a gentleman would do, you bastard!

Laisting showed Yun Yan through his actions that he had never been a gentleman in the first place.

※ Advance preview 2: "After Framing the Male Lead, the Imperial Preceptor Faked His Death"

Blurb: Lin Xiwen is a sickly, mute man who transmigrates into a book as the imperial preceptor, only to find that he is still mute.

In the original story, the imperial preceptor, who had been unable to speak since childhood, was dark-minded. He not only framed the highly favored Third Prince, who was about to be made crown prince, as an ill-omened star, but also declared that the neglected Fourth Prince, confined to the cold palace, was the one destined by heaven. As a result, the two princes' fates were switched.

The Third Prince went through endless hardship and narrowly escaped death time and again, while the Fourth Prince rose to the heights overnight and received the imperial preceptor's tutelage.

Years later, however, the Third Prince made a comeback and ascended the throne. Afraid his good days were over, the Fourth Prince hurriedly tied up the imperial preceptor to curry favor with the new emperor. The new emperor ordered the imperial preceptor to be slowly dismembered, and the teacher of the whole empire met his end.

After listening to the System's explanation, Lin Xiwen asked, "...So what am I supposed to do?"

System: "Follow the original story. Frame the Third Prince and assist the Fourth Prince, but change the original ending. You must help the Fourth Prince successfully claim the throne."

Lin Xiwen: "..."

Maybe he should just find a nice spot and bury himself right now.

Burying himself was out of the question, so he could only force himself to try the mission.

But Lin Xiwen felt guilty about framing an innocent prince, so while publicly teaching the Fourth Prince, he also hid his identity and secretly offered some help to the struggling Third Prince.

Sure enough, a few years later, the original story unfolded once again. The Third Prince ascended the throne, and the Fourth Prince was so terrified that he sharpened his knives and turned them on the imperial preceptor.

Fortunately, Lin Xiwen escaped quickly. Before fleeing, he set up a scheme that made everyone believe he feared the new emperor and had taken his own life.

Although he hadn't completed the System's mission, he could still stay alive as long as he wasn't caught. Lin Xiwen changed his name, kept a low profile, and managed to get by.

Until one day, he woke to find a figure like the King of Hell sitting beside his bed: the late emperor's Third Prince, now the new emperor, Zhao Xingjin.

Lin Xiwen: "..."

Zhao Xingjin shackled Lin Xiwen's hands and feet and took him back to the capital as if he were a heinous criminal being escorted to his execution.

But to Lin Xiwen's surprise, Zhao Xingjin didn't kill him. He merely locked him in the dungeon.

Even more surprising, the dungeon had a soft bed, silk pillows, fine clothes, and lavish food. Zhao Xingjin humiliated him every night, but wasn't this treatment more like... that of a male concubine?

-

Zhao Xingjin couldn't understand Lin Xiwen.

Lin Xiwen had confidently declared him an ill-omened star, turning him from a favored son of heaven into a guilty prisoner in the cold palace who had to endure hunger and cold.

But when Zhao Xingjin had a fever that wouldn't break, it was Lin Xiwen, concealing his identity, who examined him, prepared medicine, and brought him clothes, food, and charcoal.

Lin Xiwen had brought him to a state where everyone shouted abuse at him, but when Zhao Xingjin was bullied, it was Lin Xiwen who pretended to be disgusted while helping him out.

It was because of Lin Xiwen that he couldn't even get paper, ink, brushes, or inkstones, but Lin Xiwen also secretly brought him books by great scholars.

When Zhao Xingjin was about to take poison someone had given him, it was Lin Xiwen, his face hidden by a mask and without saying a word, who hurried over and stopped him from dying or being left crippled...

Zhao Xingjin hated Lin Xiwen so much that he wanted to cut him to pieces.

But when the day came that he finally had the power to do it, Zhao Xingjin found he couldn't bring himself to act. When he heard that Lin Xiwen had killed himself, he was so confused that he vomited blood.

"Lin Xiwen, you owe me so much. Your life and death belong to me.

...What gives you the right to make that decision on your own?"

-

On the way back to the palace with the supposedly dead Lin Xiwen, Zhao Xingjin made up his mind.

Lin Xiwen was hateful, so he deserved to be thrown into the imperial prison.

But Lin Xiwen had also helped him, so the prison could be made comfortable. That way, the sickly man wouldn't have the satisfaction of dying too easily from an illness.

Lin Xiwen was too wicked, so he deserved to be humiliated and left to struggle for breath.

So... Zhao Xingjin made Lin Xiwen his male concubine.

Whenever Lin Xiwen was dazed and confused, he could always hear Zhao Xingjin ask through gritted teeth beside his ear, "If you had another chance, would you still harm me for Fourth Brother's sake?"

Lin Xiwen could only try his best to shake his head.

Zhao Xingjin deliberately misunderstood him. "You refuse to answer?"

Lin Xiwen: "..."

Lin Xiwen had been unjustly silenced and was truly unable to speak up or explain his grievances.

Your Majesty, if you expect a mute man to answer your questions, shouldn't you give him a pen and paper?

Or at least stop gripping his hands so tightly that he can't sign?
