Coming soon: Modern BL, What Should I Do After Becoming the Star's Sugar Daddy? Add it to your reading list!

A seemingly aloof, secretly flirtatious beauty with a frail constitution × a seemingly proper, secretly unhinged big bad wolf.

*How to turn your amnesiac husband into a stand-in

Wen Jian spent nine years eating dirt on the borderlands. He returned to the capital carrying a blood feud, with everyone in his revenge plan destined to die for it, himself included.

But before he could put his plan into action, the sickly Jiang Yue, Vice Minister of Revenue, captivated him.

Amid the snowstorm, Jiang Yue held a plum branch in one hand and used it as a sword. His sleeves fluttered as he performed a fierce sword dance. When he finished, the branch came to a halt, and petals from the plum blossoms drifted down in the wind, landing in Wen Jian's palm.

White snow, red plum blossoms, black hair, a breathtaking face.

Wen Jian, who had never known love, lost his head in an instant.

Perhaps there was no need to wipe them all out after all.

But the beauty was proud and aloof as a fresh breeze. Wen Jian followed after him, but Jiang Yue couldn't even be bothered to spare him a glance.

Still, the word "give up" wasn't in Wen Jian's dictionary. Jiang Yue's coldness didn't stop him from persistently pursuing him. After countless times of getting the cold shoulder, he finally saw a glimmer of hope.

He and Jiang Yue unexpectedly spent a passionate night together. When he woke the next morning, convinced victory was his, he never imagined Jiang Yue would gently stroke his face and speak in a sweet voice, yet utter the cruelest words:

"My lord really is the person I've met who looks most like him."

"Who?"

"The one I once loved."

Wen Jian felt that his pounding heart was no better than a stone.

He lowered his eyes and smiled faintly.

Well, it seemed they all had to die. Every last one of them.

*

Tell me, if the lover you've longed for for nine years returns to the capital and the first thing he does when you meet is ask your name, would you be angry?

Jiang Yue was angry. Furious.

So he turned the lover he'd missed for nine years into a stand-in.

"May you know peace year after year, for all time."

*An alternate universe, an alternate universe, an alternate universe. The history and official ranks are a hodgepodge. Important enough to say three times.

*The story is told from both leads' perspectives, though the bottom's perspective may be slightly more prominent.

*Yes, it's a love story between two lunatics. Neither lead is normal. They're exclusive, body and soul.

*Romance-focused historical BL, with an amnesia plot and lots of melodrama. Contains house arrest and coercion. Don't read if that's not for you.

*Everything happens for a reason. Anything that seems unreasonable will eventually have a reasonable explanation.

Please add my hilarious mistaken-identity modern BL, What Should I Do After Becoming the Star's Sugar Daddy?, to your reading list!

A scatterbrained, innocent son of a newly rich family × a capricious, wickedly playful heir from an old-money family.

Qiao Yunxi has a family with two streets on the verge of bankruptcy. He lives in a shabby old apartment and has led an ordinary life for 22 years, right up through his recent university graduation.

The night before, he'd been worrying about how he'd make a living. The next morning, one phone call from his father brought him a windfall that left him reeling:

"Son! Our two streets have been demolished!"

Qiao Yunxi: !!!!!

Overnight, he became a nouveau riche. His father generously offered, "Son, whatever you want, a Mercedes, a BMW, a Ferrari, I'll get it for you!"

Qiao Yunxi: "No! Dad, I only have one wish."

"What is it?"

Qiao Yunxi's eyes were as resolute as if he were about to join the Party. "I want to become Lu Chaonan's sugar daddy!"

*

Lu Chaobei never expected that going out to meet a director in place of his runaway twin brother would land him face-to-face with some clueless kid who wanted to play sugar daddy.

Qiao Yunxi, at least five years younger than him, blushed to the ears, bowed at a 90-degree angle, and presented him with a sugar-daddy contract offering a million a month plus film and television roles. "Mr. Lu Chaonan, I want to be your sugar daddy!"

Lu Chaobei, who made tens of millions a minute: "...Sure."

He meant to teach the kid to stay on the straight and narrow. But after a month, the money had come through, and so had the roles. Yet aside from chatting online every day and meeting for meals, Qiao Yunxi didn't seem to understand a thing. He never even tried to get Lu Chaobei into bed.

Lu Chaobei: Tsk. The big bad wolf is pretending to be a little lamb now.

So when the second month's allowance came through, Lu Chaobei took the initiative and hinted, "The money's arrived. When are we going to sleep together?"

Qiao Yunxi, who was already perfectly happy chatting with his idol on WeChat and having meals together, looked bewildered. "Huh? We have to sleep together too? Sure, you can come to my place."

Lu Chaobei, who had just received the reply: Tsk. The wolf's tail is showing now.

But that night, Lu Chaobei ended up lying under the same blanket as Qiao Yunxi, talking innocently. Lu Chaobei: Thanks for asking. Turns out I've met a sheep in wolf's clothing.

After half a month of chatting under the covers, Lu Chaobei finally couldn't take it anymore. He rolled over and pinned Qiao Yunxi beneath him. "Do you even know what being a sugar daddy means?"

Qiao Yunxi blinked. "Isn't it just giving you money and jobs?"

Lu Chaobei sighed, tipped up his chin, and kissed him. "You don't know? Then I'll teach you."

*

In the famous international director's new film, Lu Chaonan was cast as the lead thanks to his brother's investment.

On the first day of filming, his brother, worth billions, personally came to visit the set with a beautiful young man in tow.

He assumed the young man was some new talent his brother was promoting. But his brother led him over and said in a casual tone:

"Lu Chaonan, say hello to your sister-in-law."

Lu Chaonan: ??????

Qiao Yunxi, baffled by two identical faces: Wait, which one of you is Lu Chaonan???

Theme: Good and evil are always repaid in the end. The way of the world is full of hardship. Remember to communicate.
