After awakening to the truth, Jiang Mingyi discovered he was the vicious cannon-fodder character in a rich family's true-and-fake-young-master novel.

When he was five, his parents died in an accident, leaving him a huge inheritance. Faced with relatives with ulterior motives, he chose to be adopted by his parents' friend, the powerful Shen family.

Jiang Mingyi had been beautiful since childhood, with fair skin, delicate features, and a dazzling face. The Shen couple doted on him as he grew up.

He should have lived a carefree life, but because he had a crush on the male lead, he made things difficult for the male lead's love interest at every turn. Before the love interest was reclaimed by his wealthy family, Jiang Mingyi bullied him and sabotaged his relationships with his admirers. He was vicious, hypocritical, and stopped at nothing.

His endless misbehavior disappointed his adoptive parents so much that they cut ties with him.

His relatives, who coveted his parents' inheritance, took everything from him. Abandoned by everyone, he was cruelly punished by the love interest's admirers.

It was his eighteenth birthday party. Thinking about the ridiculous plot where he tried to set up the love interest only to embarrass himself, he shuddered.

The scumbag and the homewrecker are perfect for each other. The handsome guy next to them is much better.

Jiang Mingyi decisively abandoned the clingy male lead and his love interest, turning instead to the man nearby, who had a face blessed by the heavens and an outstanding, chaste aura.

He ran a hand through his hair and said in a seductive voice, "Hey, handsome. Want to date?"

The man's deep, dark eyes swept over him coldly. His low, magnetic voice whispered in Jiang Mingyi's ear, "Baby, who are you talking to?"

Jiang Mingyi's scalp went numb as he realized who the man was.

Shen Xingyi, heir to a powerful family, and also his nominal older brother, the Shen couple's only son.

Dressed in luxury from head to toe, the man's distinctive aura drew the attention of everyone at the party.

But he cornered the young man who was trying to sneak away.

After seeing Jiang Mingyi again for the first time in years, Shen Xingyi was shocked that the soft, sweet child he remembered would now flirt with men so casually.

Very well. He needed to be taught a lesson.

Jiang Mingyi lifted his captivating, almond-shaped eyes and instantly summoned crystal-clear tears to plead for mercy.

"Big Brother, I was wrong."

"Big Brother, I was just joking."

"Big Brother, I won't do it again."

Three apologies in a row, then he tried to run.

He never expected his adoptive older brother to keep an eye on him every day from then on.

Shen Xingyi had to approve of what he wore.

Shen Xingyi had to approve of his get-togethers with classmates.

Even if someone gave him a love letter, Shen Xingyi had to read every word.

All in the name of preventing him from dating too young.

Jiang Mingyi, unable to fight back, planted one foot on the luxurious bed and pouted angrily, hands on his hips. "I'm an adult! What's wrong with me dating? I'll even burn down your old house..."

Before he could finish, the man covered his soft lips with a kiss.

As he drifted into a daze from the kiss, he heard the man chuckle in his ear. "As you wish. This old house is on fire."

Jiang Mingyi: ...

Extra Scene:

After the love interest was reclaimed by his wealthy family, he learned that Jiang Mingyi had moved out of the Shen family mansion. He smugly linked arms with the male lead and showed off in front of him.

The male lead looked cold and heartless. "Jiang Mingyi, I will never like you. You'd better give up now."

Jiang Mingyi touched the silver engagement ring on his finger and took Shen Xingyi's arm. "You seem to have arrived late for the engagement party. Let me introduce you properly: this is my fiance, Shen Xingyi."

The love interest watched as the tycoon affectionately wrapped an arm around Jiang Mingyi's slender waist. Their matching engagement rings nearly blinded him, and he couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath.

The male lead pressed the love interest to apologize at once. "Sorry to disturb you. We'll leave right away."

-

After they left, Shen Xingyi pulled Jiang Mingyi into his arms and lifted his chin. "That was the person you had a crush on? Your taste really is terrible."

Jiang Mingyi rose on his toes and kissed the jealous man. "Nonsense. I have great taste."

"Look, all I see is you."

Here's an upcoming novel: After Transmigrating into a Book, I Got a Whirlwind Marriage with a Tycoon

A playful, mischievous, pampered young master bottom x a cold CEO top who scores full marks in traditional virtue

"Blurb"

Ji Feiyu has always lived freely and done whatever he pleased. The one thing he never liked was dating.

He never expected that one day, after drinking too much, he'd open his eyes and find himself transmigrated into a melodramatic rich-family danmei novel, as a cannon-fodder wife who met a miserable end.

The cannon fodder was a rich young master, but his mother had died young. His gold-digging father brazenly moved his first love and their children into the house. More than a decade of psychological abuse turned the pampered young master into a naive sweetheart.

Everyone around him coveted the inheritance his mother had left him. Even the male lead, who was supposed to marry him, had his eye on one of the properties. After tricking the original into marriage and making him fall in love, he took the inheritance and slowly poisoned him, ruining his life without anyone noticing.

Thinking of the original's miserable life, Ji Feiyu hadn't even finished sighing before the tall, long-legged, handsome man with sharp brows and bright eyes nearby captured all his attention.

The man hit every mark, stirring feelings that had lain dormant in Ji Feiyu for over twenty years. Ji Feiyu immediately clung to him and murmured, "I have a business deal worth tens of billions. Would you be interested in discussing it?"

Fu Mingsi returned to his home country to expand his business empire. Usually cold and chaste, he had brushed off all kinds of advances with a frosty expression. But one person alone managed to throw his heart into disarray.

That person leaned softly against him and said he wanted to discuss a business deal worth tens of billions.

After paying tens of billions in "fees," Fu Mingsi hadn't even had time to regret his weakness when the other man said pitifully:

"My father and stepmother are trying to sell me to a scumbag. Could you buy me?"

Fu Mingsi thought he must have lost his mind. Not only did he "buy" the other man, he even threw in his entire fortune, all because their names were written on the same marriage certificate.

Ji Feiyu was delighted to find himself a wonderful older husband. He returned home in high spirits and, right in front of his gold-digging father and his true love, waved a hand grandly.

"I'm married. From now on, I call the shots in the Ji family."

"Dear Father, this house is in my name. You have three days to move out of the Ji residence."

"Dear Stepmother, are you wearing the jewelry my mother loved most while she was alive?"

"Dear Little Brother, since you like my scumbag fiance, you can have him. Scumbag and homewrecker, a match made in heaven."

Ji Feiyu thought he could enjoy a happy life dating his wonderful husband, but he never expected the scummy male lead to come crawling back.

Watching his white-lotus younger brother cling to the scumbag and accuse him with tears in his eyes,

Ji Feiyu sneered. "You still want to steal my assets? I'd sooner give them to a dog than to you."

Fu Mingsi, who had resigned himself to managing his wife's assets, sneezed loudly. "..."

Extra Scene:

One day, Fu Mingsi received a message from a friend.

[Fu Mingsi, you came back to the country without even telling me. I'm mad.]

Fu Mingsi ignored it.

[If you want me to stop being mad, do me a favor.]

Fu Mingsi hesitated for one second.

[I have a nephew I haven't seen in over a decade. Go check that he's doing okay. His name is Ji Feiyu.]

Fu Mingsi immediately called his husband and asked, "What would you do if you found out one day that your uncle and I were friends..."

Before he could finish, his husband said, "Does that mean my uncle should call me sister-in-law?"

Fu Mingsi, preparing to move down a generation in the family hierarchy: "...Well, I suppose that makes sense."

Theme: Loving you is the most beautiful moment of my life.
