"Let me correct you: I wasn't forced! I agreed to it!" Bai Xu, a genius investor, transmigrated into a book and became the Bai family's most despised adopted son in a story about a wealthy family's power struggles The original Bai Xu was an orphan. Because a fortune-teller claimed his fate was so powerful it could ward off calamity, he became the Bai family's nominal young master. The original had a handsome face, but he was timid and slow-witted. He had the status of a young master in name only, and even the servants could push him around. After the death of the family patriarch, Old Master Bai, the Bai family forced the original into an auspicious marriage with the third young master of the Shang family, who had been left comatose after a car accident, all for the sake of business interests Less than a year later, the original was manipulated and set up, and died in the Shang family's power struggle. Bai Xu had been in this world for less than three days when he found himself in the middle of a full-scale forced-marriage scene. Facing the Bai family members, each with their own schemes and clever calculations, Bai Xu glanced again at his unconscious marriage partner in the hospital bed and spoke up first: "Marriage is a matter between two families, after all. Since my future husband can't discuss it, once you've settled the bride price and dowry, just transfer the money to my account." The others were so blindsided by his talk of money that they could only stare. "?" Once they had agreed on the terms and the hospital room door closed, Bai Xu immediately began humming happily. "Well, well. He's good-looking but unconscious, and his family is rich but can't control me. Where else am I going to find such a great marriage that basically doesn't count? This is practically free money~" Shang Yanxiao, who was pretending to be unconscious: "..." -- As the third young master of the Shang family, Shang Yanxiao had been the pride of heaven since childhood. Everyone in the capital's elite circles had regarded him as the heir to the Shang family, until a carefully staged car accident killed his parents and left his twin brother disabled. To make the mastermind behind the accident lower his guard and draw him out, Shang Yanxiao had no choice but to pretend to be unconscious for the time being. He never expected to be forced into an "auspicious marriage" the following week. Shang Yanxiao thought his marriage partner would take the money and run after a few days. He never expected the other man to enjoy himself so much He could shut down the lazy, condescending servants, charm Old Master Shang until the man beamed, play innocent and fool the rest of the Shang relatives, and talk investments with business partners on the phone. He wasn't just likable, he was actually quite lovable. :) -- To avoid ending up like the original, Bai Xu worked hard to make money every day. Every so often, he would "tease" his comatose husband to relieve stress "Oh, those eyebrows look pretty good." "Your earlobes feel so soft. Does that mean you'll be afraid of your partner someday?" "Hmm, those lips look pretty sexy. I wonder if you're any good at kissing?" "Whoa, those abs are incredible. Let me poke... poke, " Shang Yanxiao, at the end of his rope: "Go on, poke me one more time." Bai Xu, frozen in shock: "Huh?" Wait? How did my auspicious marriage actually work? -- ① Bai Xu (bottom) x Shang Yanxiao (top). Mainly told from the bottom's perspective, with some chapters from the top's perspective and a few from other characters' perspectives. ② The top has fewer scenes while he's "unconscious" at first, but he won't stay that way for long. Once he "wakes up," the couple's interactions will gradually increase. ③ Both leads know exactly what they want. They focus on their careers before romance. They marry first and fall in love later. This pairing is endgame, and they are both completely devoted to each other. ④ Depending on how the story develops, there may be a tiny amount of side-character or secondary-couple content, but all the important interactions will revolve around the main couple's story! As usual, any extra secondary-couple content may be posted as a separate free bonus story. They will absolutely never steal the spotlight from the main couple in this book! ⑤ As always, the married couple comes first. I'll add anything else that comes to mind later. -- The cover is not exclusive to this book. -- Coming soon: The Canary Deleted His Account and Started Over Jing Shun was a highly regarded newcomer in the film industry, but an accident involving a high-altitude stunt wire left him disabled. His friend Chi Sheng took the opportunity to pursue him relentlessly, proposing to him in public at a banquet and swearing he would take care of him for the rest of his life. But in less than five years, Chi Sheng was already surrounded by countless young actresses and internet celebrities, and even boasted while drunk: "He's a useless cripple who'll be stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, and he's a man. How could I possibly like him?" "Just looking at Jing Shun's limp legs makes me want to throw up. I haven't even touched him." "I love watching him on the security cameras when he falls by accident and scrambles around on the ground. It's hilarious." Overnight, Jing Shun became the laughingstock of the entire city of Hai. The childhood sweetheart he'd thought was his true love turned out to be nothing more than a canary kept by Young Master Fang for his amusement. When Jing Shun woke up, he had been reborn five years earlier, on the night of that same banquet, attended by half the city's elite. Chi Sheng was making the same "deeply devoted" proposal he'd faked before. This time, though, Jing Shun refused without hesitation and turned his attention to the man seated at the head table The head of the Chi family, Chi Gui, rumored to be ruthless and formidable, with influence reaching everywhere, and to have taken control of the entire family by his own efforts. He was also Chi Sheng's uncle in name, and Chi Sheng was as afraid of him as a mouse is of a cat. Consumed by grief and anger, Jing Shun wheeled himself closer. Willing to hurt himself to hurt his enemy, he said, "I have no interest in that useless Chi Sheng. I think you're pretty great. How about you and I give it a try?" "..." The entire room erupted. Everyone waited for Jing Shun to be brutally rejected and humiliated. But Chi Gui answered with just one word: "All right." From that day on, the upper crust of Hai began speculating about when Jing Shun would be irritating enough for Chi Gui to tire of him and kick him out of the Chi family. Even Jing Shun himself was prepared to leave the Chi family at any moment and make his own way. But only Chi Gui, who had been reborn, knew For five years, on countless nights, he had regretted arriving too late after the accident on the film set. He had secretly sought news about the person he loved, time and again, and felt jealous of his useless nephew over and over. No one else knew that saying "All right" at the banquet had taken nearly all of his composure. Theme: Don't mind what others think. Loving yourself comes first.
