The Real Young Master Is Home, So What About Me?

Ta Mi has done plenty of things people hate.

He bullied his eldest brother and drove away his girlfriend.

He bullied his second brother, singed his green hair with a lighter, and forced him to watch horror movies.

He talked back to teachers and picked on his classmates.

But everyone liked him. He thought they really did.

Until Dad and Mom brought home a boy his age, followed by a shabby, timid middle-aged couple.

"Ta Mi, this is your older brother. Call him your big brother."

"Ta Mi, these are your biological parents. Call them Mom and Dad."

Amid the laughter and cheerful chatter, and Ta Mi's screams and sobs, he was bundled off to a rundown house covered in mold and crawling with rats.

This was Ta Mi's real life. No South Australian pearls or North American diamonds, just a cold, dilapidated house and leftovers that never ran out, no matter how many times they were reheated...

Ta Mi seized an opportunity to run back to his old home. They were holding a banquet to celebrate finding their biological child.

Nobody paid him any attention. The housekeeper gave him a piece of cake and told him to take care.

As Ta Mi tried to hide the cake in his pocket, he shouted at his eldest brother, who had followed him: "I hate you! I hate all of you!"

Ta Mi couldn't adjust to his new life, his new school, or his new teachers, even though he was trying his hardest.

He was at the end of his rope. He rushed into his eldest brother's office and said, "You don't have a girlfriend. Let me be your girlfriend."

His eldest brother remained unmoved.

Ta Mi cried and cried.

At last, his eldest brother wavered. He sighed, his tone helpless but his gaze resolute. "Ta Mi, being my lover is different from being my little brother."

"Different?"

"Yeah. I'd kiss you and fuck you. Are you sure?"

Blurb:

Zhao Qiuzhou is an orphan. Maybe because he was an orphan, all his luck had been piled together, and on the first day the apocalypse arrived, he got a System that called itself Scratch-Off.

After scratching for days and going hungry for days, he realized his luck was truly awful.

[Congratulations, you scratched off a packet of rose seeds]

[Congratulations, you scratched off a copy of To Live]

[Congratulations, you scratched off a pair of underwear]

What was he supposed to do with flower seeds? Vegetable seeds would be more useful, but he didn't even have a patch of land. What was he supposed to do with a book? He couldn't even burn it, since there was no gas. And what did he need underwear for? He wasn't wearing any now... He needed food, food!

What a garbage System. It didn't steal or kill, it just made him miserable.

Unable to bear the hunger, Zhao Qiuzhou decided to make a move on the blind man upstairs.

The blind man was called Ling Miao. He'd once been a well-known figure at Zhao Qiuzhou's university, but a car accident had left him blind. His home had gone from crowded with visitors to completely deserted. After pleading and cajoling, Zhao Qiuzhou finally got him to open the door.

"I don't have any food at home either," Ling Miao said.

"I'm not here to rob you." Zhao Qiuzhou swallowed. "Just lend me your hand for a bit."

Zhao Qiuzhou grabbed the other's cold hand and furiously scratched the lottery ticket he'd brought. Black characters appeared: A case of instant noodles!

Zhao Qiuzhou was convinced Ling Miao had incredible luck. He no longer cared that the man was blind, and kept turning up at his door with all kinds of care packages.

One day, he finally managed to move in, and the two went from neighbors to roommates.

But his dream of making it safely through the apocalypse with the help of Scratch-Off soon fell apart. A zombie horde was on its way, and they had to leave the neighborhood and find another safe house.

Ling Miao knew Zhao Qiuzhou was packing and offered, "Qiuzhou, I can't get around easily. You should go on your own."

Zhao Qiuzhou scoffed. "You think I'd take you with me? No way."

The next day, Zhao Qiuzhou set out on the road to survival with Ling Miao and a dog.

-

Ling Miao had died a particularly gruesome death in his previous life. Amid a sea of blood, he asked the young man who always brought him food, then sent him on his way to die, what his name was.

"Zhao Qiuzhou."

Zhao Qiuzhou...

Zhao Qiuzhou...

Zhao Qiuzhou...

At first, reborn Ling Miao only planned to keep Zhao Qiuzhou alive. Along the way, he began to want Zhao Qiuzhou by his side forever. In the end, he wanted to kill everyone who coveted Zhao Qiuzhou.
