At twenty-three, Tang Nanxing saw a man who looked almost exactly like him at a private party.
The man was impeccably dressed, with an air of elegance and distinction. His name was Shen Ruixin, the second young master of the Shen family.
When Second Young Master Shen saw him, the wineglass in his hand suddenly fell to the floor.
Not long afterward, Tang Nanxing got a call from him. "I'll give you five million. Leave Shaojing."
Tang Nanxing: "Are you sick?"
Not long after that, Second Young Master Shen cornered him at home. "You don't need to pack. I'll add another million. Go to Yucheng and fill in for me for a while. Not long, just a month."
Around that time, Tang Nanxing finally accepted a role as a sickly character. Filming wouldn't start for another two or three months. He'd heard that Shen Ruixin had been sickly since childhood, the quintessential frail beauty. To get a taste of that life, he took Shen Ruixin's name and went to Yucheng to look after the Shen family patriarch, who had been left in a vegetative state after a car accident.
He had no idea the old man was pretending to be ill. Seeing that the old man even had a formidable "bodyguard," he was all the more careful not to slack off.
As soon as he arrived, he started acting: crying, coughing, then fainting. Before collapsing, he made sure to grab the sour-faced "bodyguard" to break his fall and avoid a workplace injury, but accidentally grabbed him in the wrong place.
Tang Nanxing's face turned waxy pale. "Uh..."
Jiang Jinchuan had only been forced by his father to come stay with his uncle, improve his disposition, and get a few laughs out of it. "..."
On his first day there, a friend asked him, "I heard Second Young Master Shen has become much nicer in recent years. My sister kind of likes him, so she asked me to find out what you think of him."
Jiang Jinchuan: "What a load of crap! I'm leaving tomorrow!"
Later, that friend came to visit and was dumbfounded as soon as he walked in. "What are you doing? Why are you waiting on him hand and foot?"
Jiang Jinchuan: "That's nonsense! He hasn't even smiled today. Clearly, I'm not doing enough!"
"..."
A sharp-tongued, secretly sincere top who falls for a man and bends himself x a fake sick beauty pretending to be ill, a fan-favorite bottom (a drama queen whose true nature is anyone's guess)
The bottom is not a fake young master, and there is no fake young master. Second Young Master Shen is just a funny guy.
