The One Everyone Hates Doesn't Want to Do It Anymore

Looking back on his past life, Jiang Jingchu thinks he lived a complete mess.

He was an adopted son taken in by a wealthy family. He worked hard to excel in every skill he learned, but never received a single word of praise. His parents taught him to know his place and not compete with the other children in the family. His mischievous little brother had bullied him since childhood, and his biased older brother had never once stood up for him.

His wealthy husband in his previous life was taciturn and distant, and their marriage was as flat as still water.

Jiang Jingchu returns to the day his parents ask him to marry his little brother’s wealthy husband in his place.

For the first time, he refuses their request. Before his parents can tear into him, he repays every penny they’ve spent on him over the years, then moves out of the Jiang family home alone.

He rents a small apartment and starts streaming without showing his face. He doesn’t know much, and never imagined that the skills no one in his family valued would earn him anything. But the fans in his livestream are enthusiastic. They rank him and shower him with praise every day, giving him a lot more confidence.

A new streamer suddenly appears on a livestreaming platform.

He can sing, compose, and play instruments. His voice is lovely and gentle, and he’s exceptionally humble.

After smoothly playing the Croatian Rhapsody, a piece that gives even veteran pianists in the classical music world a headache, the gentle, reserved streamer says, “Sorry, I’m only average. Please bear with me.”

Netizens: Bragging gets on people’s nerves, but... your voice is so nice!!

The chat is full of people finding all sorts of reasons to praise the streamer and send him flowers. Later, netizens realize that he genuinely has no idea how good he is.

Top experts in the field repost and comment on his videos. Excited, netizens share the news in the chat.

The streamer remains quietly as modest as ever. “Thank you for the praise.”

After Jiang Jingchu unexpectedly becomes popular, many people come looking for him.

His parents and brothers all show up to say they were wrong and shouldn’t have treated him that way. Jiang Jingchu ignores them all.

The only person he can’t avoid is the wealthy husband he once refused to marry. By coincidence, the man owns the apartment Jiang Jingchu rents. He has Jiang Jingchu’s contact information and comes by every weekend to check on his property.

During one livestream to thank his fans, Jiang Jingchu answers the top questions from a fan poll.

top 1: Is there anyone you like?

top 2: What kind of romance would make your heart flutter?

top 3: What kind of person do you like?

Jiang Jingchu: “There’s no one I like. As for romance... maybe something romantic, with little surprises now and then. I hope the other person makes me feel safe.”

The livestream is still running.

The usually old-fashioned, conservative man stands outside his door in a perfectly tailored suit, holding a huge bouquet of bright red roses.

Jiang Jingchu asks in surprise, “What are you looking for?”

The man lowers his gaze. “Don’t you like romance and surprises?”

Jiang Jingchu: “...”

The netizens watching the livestream: “??”

That night, the wealthy magnate who usually hangs out on serious financial pages appears on the gossip channel, and the Jiang family’s sordid affairs are dragged through the mud and sent trending.

As for the little internet celebrity Jiang Jingchu, someone finally manages to track down a photo of him.

The young man’s skin is as white and translucent as jade, with a fragile, glasslike quality. His thick lashes lower over dark eyes that gleam like jewels. His lips are red, his teeth white, and his youthful beauty shines like the bright moon.

His awards over the years are too numerous to count on both hands.

A face that captivates and talent to spare.

Everyone is on their knees begging him to debut.
