[The main story is complete. Bonus chapters will appear from time to time!]
Ming Nuo has terrible luck. He was born with a genetic disease, his eyes are damaged, and his mental strength is pitifully weak. After his father, the only person he has to rely on, dies, he becomes a poor little beggar, forced to huddle miserably in a rundown shack.
Just when he thinks he'll spend the rest of his life in misery, he learns that the Emperor of the Empire is his biological older brother. Unfortunately, his brother has a terrible reputation and is said to have killed his entire family.
Ming Nuo trembles: The Emperor wouldn't come to a beggar's den.
One day, he's taken from the poor underground city to the prosperous imperial capital planet, where he's supposed to be sold to a rich young master as a playmate. But no one wants the miserable little blind boy.
Luckily, a young nobleman saves him. Ming Nuo later learns that the boy is his childhood friend, though they aren't on very good terms. Ming Nuo can only keep his secret identity hidden and serve the young master.
Childhood friend: "From now on, you'll serve me."
The little blind boy obediently nods.
Later, the childhood friend starts buying two meals at a time, ordering bubble tea with extra sugar, going to another room every morning to wake the little blind boy, and even helping him get dressed...
Childhood friend: ...Did I just find myself a little ancestor to serve?
Though his childhood friend has a bad temper, he's surprisingly good at looking after people. Under his care, Ming Nuo grows plump and rosy, builds up a little nest egg, and lives comfortably.
But one day, the Emperor arrives.
Ming Nuo panics: His brother must have come to kill him!
Ming Nuo hurriedly packs his things and tries to run, but in his panic he takes a wrong turn and crashes straight into the Emperor.
Emperor (staring): This person... looks a little like my beloved little brother who died young.
Ming Nuo (bristling like a kitten) (drawing his blade): If my brother wants to kill me, I'll strike first.
That day, palace guards capture a reckless assassin.
The next day, the royal family announces on StarNet that their little prince has returned!
After that, Ming Nuo also meets his aunt, the richest person in the Empire, his older sister, who has become the head of the council, and his older brother, who runs the Imperial Armaments Bureau... The first thing each of them says when they see him is:
"Do you remember me? I held you when you were little."
Ming Nuo: "..."
He really doesn't remember them.
He thought he was just a little beggar. How did he suddenly become the most well-connected person in the Empire?
Recommended new novel, Raising a CEO Step by Step. Here's the blurb:
"He chases, he runs, but he can't escape."
Just before he can finish his PhD, Ning Zhirong dies suddenly and is transported into a CEO novel, where he becomes the pitiful protagonist bottom who is forcibly taken by the domineering protagonist top.
The protagonist bottom comes from a desperately poor family: a dead mother, a cruel father, a seriously ill younger brother, and himself, left in pieces.
After entering the entertainment industry, the soft and adorable protagonist bottom is kept by the impossibly domineering protagonist top. The unloved little victim not only cooks for his love, but also unconditionally puts up with the protagonist top's every cruel taunt and insult, despite his severe manic disorder.
Ning Zhirong: "..."
With that kind of perseverance, you should be doing a PhD.
System: "Please play the protagonist bottom seriously and complete the key plot points. A professional audience team will score you."
Ning Zhirong has no choice but to rein in his prickly temper and seriously play the long-suffering victim. But... is something wrong with the protagonist top?
On a couples' variety show, the domineering CEO top is like a clingy golden retriever who can't bear to be apart from him for even a second. If he can't see Ning Zhirong, he grabs someone and asks, "Have you seen my older brother? Where is my older brother?"
Oh, right. The CEO is a year younger than him.
In the plot where the top should pin him to a wall, grab him by the waist, and claim him in a jealous rage before kissing him, Ning Zhirong has only just managed to work up a few tears when the top suddenly pulls out a tissue and carefully starts wiping the wall.
Ning Zhirong: "...?"
The CEO top is inexplicably bashful: "There's dust on the wall, and you're wearing white. I don't want you to get dirty."
"May I kiss you now?"
Ning Zhirong: "..."
Are you being a little too polite?
Before the task even gets underway, Ning Zhirong realizes his partner has gone crazy. With no other choice, and wanting to get the highest score on the final task, he can only teach the CEO top how to act like a CEO, step by step.
"Put your hand on my waist and look a little fiercer."
"Don't be so obedient. Do what you want. Don't ask me for permission."
"The haters made you cry? Give me your phone. I'll deal with them."
"..."
The viewers: "...?"
Weren't they supposed to be a domineering CEO and his sweet wife?
What on earth are you two?!
Theme: Face every hardship and obstacle with optimism
