Survival May Be Shameful, but It Works

Ji Shu woke up as the fake young master and cannon-fodder character in a story where the whole family grovels to win over the real heir. In the original story, the male lead Nie Chuxi was the real heir of the Marquis's household. After having his place stolen for over a decade, he finally returned, only to be hated by everyone and targeted and framed at every turn by the person who had taken his identity. Gradually, the male lead's longing for family faded, and he began to turn evil. The fake young master also gradually revealed his ugly side through one scheme after another, eventually suffering the consequences of his actions under the male lead's careful plans and dying without a whole body. To avoid the fate he'd had in the original story, Ji Shu decided to give everything back to the male lead. Unfortunately, the original story's villains were all idiots. They refused to cooperate and kept hurting the male lead in his name. Weren't they just pushing him into the fire? Ji Shu had no choice but to do his best to fix things. For every bit of harm someone did to the male lead, Ji Shu treated him ten times better, terrified that the petty male lead would hold a grudge against him. At last, the people around him gradually came to their senses and started groveling to win the real heir back. Only then did Ji Shu let out a huge sigh of relief and prepare to bow out now that his work was done. The Marquis's household: Ji Shu, everything belongs back with its rightful owner. What was never yours will never belong to you. Don't blame us for being heartless. Your staying here will only make people uncomfortable. We can't keep letting him down. Ji Shu: Okay, okay! I'm leaving right now! Just when Ji Shu had finally settled down and felt free to do nothing among the fields, someone blocked his door. Nie Chuxi, a man with power over all under heaven, approached with red eyes, driving him back until he was on the bed and pinned between his arms. Only then did he glare at him, hurt and furious, and demand hoarsely, "Why did you leave me and run away?" Ji Shu was stunned. "What else did I take from you without giving back?" Nie Chuxi leaned in. "You did. You took everything I had, and you'll never be able to repay me in this lifetime!" Ji Shu: Did... did I just get falsely accused?
