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

As the true young master who was maliciously switched at birth, Luo Jianyu struggled to survive for eighteen years before suddenly awakening to the fact that he was a character in a book. He learned that he actually came from a wealthy family. He immediately set off to find his birth family and successfully returned to the Luo household. But the people who welcomed him were his own blood relatives, looking down on him. They despised his impaired hearing and everything he said and did, and they kept their guard up, afraid he might hurt the fake young master. Luo Jianyu didn't care about any of that. He just wanted to get money out of the Luo family. His father said, "Look at you eating like a starving ghost. 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 full, so I won't be so uncultured." His mother said, "How can you wear slippers to a banquet? Don't you know the first thing about etiquette?" Luo Jianyu said, "You only prepared clothes for me. Whatever, just give me money and I'll buy my own." His eldest brother said, "Your English accent is so country. You're nothing like our little brother, who speaks three foreign languages." Luo Jianyu said, "Give me money. I'll take classes and improve myself, so I won't hold the Luo family back." The Luo family's youngest son, the fake young master, pleaded, "Even though the engagement was originally yours, could you please not try to steal Brother Jingtao from me?" Luo Jianyu said, "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 compassion at all. All he ever does is ask for money!" Luo Jianyu said, "Give me money and I'll keep quiet and behave." The Luo family: "..." * Ruan Jingtao, heir to the Ruan family, North City's most prestigious old-money dynasty, was also the hottest top-tier star and award-winning actor around. When he heard that the Luo family's true young master had returned, Ruan Jingtao sought Luo Jianyu out. Luo Jianyu sensibly said, "Don't worry. As long as you pay me enough, I'll stay far away from you." Ruan Jingtao shook his head, completely at ease. "No. I want to pay you to enter a marriage of convenience with me, and come along while I film a variety show." Luo Jianyu already had poor hearing, so he wondered if he'd misheard. Ruan Jingtao handed him a check and an agreement. "Fifty million. One year of marriage. The full amount upfront. The variety show fee is separate. If you agree without making a fuss, I'll even provide a doctor to treat your hearing." Luo Jianyu signed right away, afraid that even taking another breath would make Ruan Jingtao think he was being difficult. It wasn't until nightfall that Luo Jianyu realized the fifty million wasn't as easy to earn as he'd thought... Was Ruan Jingtao's stamina a little too good? And since their marriage was just an arrangement, was it really okay to cuddle, kiss, and take off each other's clothes? Ruan Jingtao held Luo Jianyu, who looked like a little figurine in his arms, while they read through the agreement together. In black and white, it said they were required to fulfill their marital duties. Ruan Jingtao said in a low voice, "Baby, you really should read an agreement carefully before signing." Luo Jianyu, with aching hips and legs: "...Baby, my ass. Give me money. I need something good to eat so I can recover." Ruan Jingtao said, "I'll give you money. Say it louder." Luo Jianyu: "...Which one of us is deaf here?" Later... On a survival variety show livestreamed from start to finish, Luo Jianyu had to see a doctor because he was nauseated and throwing up. Luo Jianyu reached weakly toward Ruan Jingtao. "The wild vegetables you dug up must've been dirty. Give me money for medical expenses." The doctor frowned as he delivered the news. "You do need extra nutrition, because you're pregnant, Mr. Luo." Luo Jianyu: "???" Ruan Jingtao: "?!?!" The viewers: "Aaaaaah, don't make a pregnant man do a wilderness survival show! ...Holy crap, a man is pregnant!" * ✅ The top begins at age 28, the bottom at 18.

Please add it to your reading list! Blurb: Yun Yan transmigrates into a book and becomes the true young master who is ultimately sent abroad against his will to study. Even worse, his birth family is afraid he'll come back to China once he has money, so they refuse to give him a single cent for living expenses and make him find a job. Yun Yan, a sickly weakling who can't lift a finger: "Get a job? Me?" There's no way he's getting a job. He'd work himself sick, and the money he'd earn wouldn't even cover the doctor. Medical care overseas is expensive, okay? But he needs to figure out how to afford food, and fast. That's when his roommate, a rich playboy supposedly born into local nobility, offers him a suggestion. "How about finding a sugar daddy? My dad would be perfect. He's single, too!" Yun Yan: "???" His roommate is going through a rebellious phase and wants to catch his father doing something scandalous so he can laugh at him. That's why he enthusiastically suggests Yun Yan go after his dad's money. After two days without food, Yun Yan is even more gloomy than the local weather. He accepts reality and strikes a shameless deal with his roommate. Roommate: "First, you have to dress like a girl. My dad doesn't like men." Yun Yan: "...???" Roommate: "Second, you have to know how to cry. My dad has really basic taste. He likes the delicate, innocent type." Yun Yan tries for three seconds, then decides to bring eye drops. Roommate: "Last, if this all comes out, don't rat me out." Yun Yan: "No problem." Armed with his roommate's playbook, Yun Yan puts on a skirt and a long wig, ready to make a killing. His roommate's father is a handsome, striking Chinese-British man, generous with his money and, most importantly, easy to fool. Yun Yan barely has to try before he reels him in. Designer handbags and watches, diamonds and jewelry, designer clothes and luxury cars, huge checks... Yun Yan gets more and more uneasy as the gifts pile up. At last, when the man gives him a mansion and wants to sleep with him, Yun Yan can't keep up the act any longer and runs away. He puts away the skirt and wig, buckles down to his studies and papers, and doesn't even dare leave campus. * Recently, Lester, an aristocratic business elite, has met a very interesting young person. The way he dresses up as a woman is clumsy, but he does have a very pretty face. He even drops his eye drops on the floor when he pretends to cry, but he really is adorable. This young person keeps asking him for money and luxury goods, but Lester has plenty of both. Yun Yan always turns down his advances. Lester assumes he's just shy and doesn't try to rush him. After all, Yun Yan is in poor health and deserves extra care. Then Yun Yan runs away. Lester looks at the breakup letter left behind in his mansion and laughs in disbelief. * After Yun Yan calls it quits, his roommate happily goes home, ready to make fun of his dad. Then he cries out in shock, "What the hell? Wait, why is my uncle the one who's been dumped and is now looking all over the world for someone?!" Yun Yan: "???" Yun Yan and his roommate compare photos, and only then realize what went wrong. When his roommate sent the photo remotely, his hand slipped and he sent the wrong one! They meant for Yun Yan to go after his roommate's dad, but he ended up hooking his roommate's uncle instead. His roommate drops to his knees before Yun Yan. "You even managed to win over my uncle, who's as tight-fisted as Scrooge?" Yun Yan, guilty and confused: "He's not stingy at all. He's pretty generous." Roommate: "..." Neither Yun Yan nor his roommate can afford the consequences of hooking the wrong person, so they agree to keep it secret and never speak of it again. Then one day Yun Yan returns to his dorm to find his roommate looking extremely guilty, while the broad-shouldered Lester is sitting in Yun Yan's seat. Lester smiles at Yun Yan. "Long time no see, baby." Yun Yan insists, "You've got the wrong person." Lester asks, "Then why are my 'girlfriend's' skirt and wig in your closet?" Yun Yan: "..." Looking through someone's closet isn't what a gentleman does, you bastard! Lester shows Yun Yan through his actions that he was never a gentleman to begin with. ※ Preview 2: 《The Straightforward Little Mute Takes on Showbiz》 Blurb: Su Queyu is the least favored young master in the Su family. A high fever when he was little left him mute. As he grew older, people around him began to say the fever had probably damaged his brain, too. When a poor relative comes around to mooch, Old Master Su makes a show of being polite. "You like this tea brick too? Then it's yours. Queyu, get a box and pack it up for your uncle." Su Queyu dutifully fetches a tea box and gives away Old Master Su's most treasured tea brick, leaving the old man so angry he can't sleep for days. At school, his classmates ostracize him and mock him as "speechless." Su Queyu carefully writes a correction: "'Speechless' means 'like a mute.' I'm actually mute." The classmate leading the ostracism flies into a rage. "You little mute, are you an idiot or what?" Su Queyu, who is often told he doesn't understand what people say, is confused. Because he can't speak and has no way to ask follow-up questions, he's simply gotten used to taking people's words at face value. Is that not allowed? When Su Queyu turns eighteen, something major happens in the Su family: he was switched at birth and isn't their biological son. The Su family's true young master has been found. The true young master was raised by a scholarly family. After his origins come to light, his birth parents and adoptive parents understand each other and decide that he will be a son to both families. But the true young master's adoptive parents aren't Su Queyu's birth parents. His true origins are those of an abandoned orphan. After the true young master comes home, everyone in the Su family says, "Even though you're not the Su family's biological son, we can afford to feed one more person. You can stay." This time Su Queyu understands what they really mean and takes his leave with dignity. To continue his education, Su Queyu starts working part-time in his spare time. A variety show looking for ordinary guest contestants notices him. The production team offers him a generous appearance fee and doesn't care that he's mute, so Su Queyu signs the contract. But once he joins the show, he finds it difficult to deal with everyone. People in showbiz love talking in circles, and he really can't understand them. Su Queyu: "Whatever. If they call me socially inept, so be it. I'll just believe whatever people say." And so... Su Queyu is washing vegetables when a popular young actor strolls over with his hands in his pockets and says he wants to help. Su Queyu hands him the task. The popular young actor: "..." Su Queyu finishes making dinner. A singer tactfully says they're trying to lose weight and won't eat, so Su Queyu takes them at their word and finishes it himself. The singer: "..." A fellow guest says they feel sorry for the animals at the rescue center and plan to get up early the next day to help, asking Su Queyu to wake them. Su Queyu sets an alarm specially to wake them up. The guest, now awake: "..." At first, the viewers say, "This ordinary guest has no social skills." By the end, they say, "A sincere person beats fake niceness to a pulp! This is exactly the kind of ordinary person taking on showbiz that we love to see!" Of all the guests, Su Queyu likes award-winning actor Fu Yanchi best, because Fu Yanchi is always praising him. When Su Queyu gives the work to the popular young actor who offered to help, Fu Yanchi praises him for sharing the spotlight. When he doesn't serve food to the singer who wants to lose weight, Fu Yanchi praises him for helping them stick to their convictions. When he wakes his roommate, who wants to help the animals, Fu Yanchi praises him for setting such a loud alarm. ...Fu Yanchi really is such a kind person! Fu Yanchi himself: "..." Fu Yanchi is famous for being sharp-tongued, but his sarcastic remarks repeatedly fall flat around Su Queyu. Once Fu Yanchi realizes that Su Queyu genuinely thinks he's praising him, he finds the little mute rather adorable and can't resist teasing him even more. As a result, after the show ends, Su Queyu not only becomes a sensation, but also gains a huge following of fans shipping him with award-winning actor Fu Yanchi. At the same time, a wealthy business magnate's family from a multinational conglomerate, far overseas, finds Su Queyu. They tell him they're his close blood relatives and have been searching for him for years. Now that they've finally found him, they want to take him home. Theme: Cherish life and live with optimism.
