*Zhao Ji wants to leave three-year-old Ying Zheng behind and elope with someone.

To keep his mother from leaving, Ying Zheng brings home a sixteen-year-old pretty boy he found outside:

"Mother, how about letting him be my stepfather!"

Lin Ping smiles warmly: I'm really good with kids!

Zhao Ji is delighted and immediately dumps Ying Zheng on Lin Ping, eloping with her lover that very night.

Unofficial histories record that while the First Emperor was in Zhao, he performed on the street with a beautiful young man. The young man was taken back to a nobleman's residence because of his looks. The nobleman's eldest son falsely accused him of smelling bad, enraging him and causing the brothers in the noble family to turn against each other and father and son to become enemies. When the King of Zhao heard about it, he wanted to summon the young man. Fearing that he would beguile the king, the ministers drove the young man and the First Emperor out of Zhao overnight. Thus, the First Emperor was able to return to his homeland.

The next book is a no-romance novel, Making It in a Wealthy Family on My Own Terms. If you're interested, please add it to your collection~

Lu Ting opens his eyes to a disastrous start: a sister who is desperate to find a man to have a child with, a gambling-addicted father, a seriously ill mother, and himself, forced to quit high school and work to pay for her treatment, with loan sharks on his back.

Just then, a wealthy father appears out of nowhere, wanting to acknowledge him as his illegitimate son and marry him off, offering him five million.

Lu Ting thinks that hesitating for even one more second would be disrespectful to the five million.

--

The Lu family assumes the illegitimate son they've brought home is ignorant, morally bankrupt, and easy to fool. They resolve to teach him a lesson so he'll obey them from then on.

Who knew that while other families' illegitimate children suffer at the hands of the wealthy, the Lu family's illegitimate son would make the wealthy suffer?

Eldest Brother Lu: I know your adoptive father favored boys over girls and named you and your sister Zhaodi and Yindi, so you'd bring a boy into the family. He made you feel inferior and timid from childhood. The Lu family has no place for such low-class trash!

Lu Ting smiles warmly: What are you talking about? I've already made my adoptive father change his name to Xiang'er, and my sister realized that relying on others is no use. She had gender-affirming surgery last month.

Father Lu: Look at how you behaved at the banquet. You really fit my stereotype of people from the lower end of the market. What an embarrassment!

Lu Ting doesn't care: Actually, with your genes, becoming a father wasn't a wise choice. But thanks to me, you managed to evolve from trash to scum. Don't forget to thank me.

Mother Lu: Since your mother's health has improved, she still has a long road ahead of her. How about I introduce her to someone?

Lu Ting shows her an invitation: No need to trouble yourself. My mom's wedding is set for next month. The groom is the person I was supposed to marry. Don't forget to come!
