The Sickly Fake Young Master Awakens

Jian Yi was the fake young master of the wealthy Jian family. On the day the real young master, Jian Wang, was brought home, eighteen-year-old Jian Yi had his money confiscated and was kicked out.

Half a year later, the Jian family came looking for him and, as if by a miracle, invited him back to live with them.

That was the beginning of a nightmare.

After returning to the Jian family, everyone treated him with exceptional warmth and care. Slowly, he began to feel the warmth of home again. But after a month, he became alarmingly thin, nauseous, and unable to sleep or eat without difficulty.

The Jian family sprang into action, taking even greater care of him. Jian Wang, in particular, stayed by his side every moment of the day.

It wasn't until he awakened on yet another stormy night, with Jian Wang beside him as he fell asleep, that he learned the truth: all of this was the Jian family's sinister plot!

According to the original course of events, in another month Jian Yi would be handed over to a wealthy old man who liked sickly beauties, to be his lover and suffer for his amusement.

The night before he was sent away, Jian Wang would drop his gentle facade and force himself on him.

Jian Yi's ending was to die of illness after just one year of abuse, both physical and psychological.

Meanwhile, the Jian Group, facing a financial crisis, would survive thanks to the old man's investment. The Jian family would enjoy a lifetime of smooth sailing, while Jian Wang's net worth soared. He would have countless lovers and a house full of children and grandchildren.

Jian Yi looked at Jian Wang, asleep beside him. The instant thunder rumbled, he raised his hand and slapped him hard.

Jian Wang jolted awake, swallowing the metallic taste of blood as malice surged in his eyes.

"Big brother, I'm so scared!" Jian Yi threw himself into his arms in a panic, conveniently wrapping his arms around the hands Jian Wang was about to use to strike back. "I just had a dream. Someone was trying to hurt me, and I slapped him. I didn't expect..."

Jian Wang gritted his teeth and forced down his rage, managing to turn his expression gentle as he comforted him. "Don't be afraid, little brother. I'm here."

In the arms of the man, a knife quietly formed in Jian Yi's cold eyes.

The Jian family was on the verge of bankruptcy. Jian Yi had vanished without a trace, and Jian Wang had gone mad searching everywhere for him. At last, he found Jian Yi's whereabouts.

He smashed the door open in a fury, only to meet a pair of stern eyes.

The man looked down at him. He wiped the moisture from the corner of his lips with his thumb and slowly fastened his shirt buttons. "What is it?"

"S-Sorry, Uncle. I... I didn't know you were in there." Jian Wang fled in a panic.
