The Self-Cultivation of a Beautiful Waste of Space

Su Chong transmigrates into a book and becomes Su Chong, the young master of a wealthy family.

Right after arriving:

Su Chong: So I'm rich...

After learning the plot:

Su Chong: Oh, it's fake...

This is a story about a real and fake young master, and Su Chong is the fake one.

According to the original plot, the real young master will return in six months. When he does, Su Chong will be bundled out of the Su family and left to fend for himself, with a tragic end.

Six months?

Su Chong thinks it over. It seems he doesn't have much time left to enjoy himself.

The original owner has a face that could steal the show, but he's a pretty useless fool.

Flirtatious, arrogant, stupid. If he needs brains, he's got looks; if he needs social skills, he's got looks; if he needs...

Su Chong: Uh... Got it. The world of the stunningly handsome is a simple one.

For a pretty fool like him, it makes perfect sense that his fiance would want to call off the engagement.

The original owner's fiance, Qin Mu, is the current head of one of the most powerful families in the capital. He is solemn and upright, disciplined and aloof, and completely incompatible with the original owner.

"Don't entertain any unrealistic fantasies. We could never work," Qin Mu once warned the original owner.

Su Chong also thinks they could never work, and quietly makes a note:

Task 1: Hurry up and call off the engagement.

Qin Mu doesn't like the original owner, and the original owner doesn't like Qin Mu either.

The original owner likes his childhood friend, Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao is an airline pilot, 189 centimeters tall, and ridiculously handsome. In uniform, he's a walking hormone bomb.

But he only sees the original owner as a younger brother.

After his confession is rejected, the original owner keeps pestering him until Yun Xiao gets fed up and cuts ties.

Su Chong sighs and quietly makes another note:

Task 2: Find a chance to explain. Say... the confession was just a prank?

At last, after cleaning up the mess, Su Chong can lie back and relax.

Keep his head down and cause no trouble: the self-cultivation of a pretty useless fool.

Except...

He's called off the engagement and cleared up the confession, but his former fiance and his childhood friend have started looking at him more and more strangely.

And all those rich young masters who used to look down on him are now staring at him like rabid dogs.

Su Chong: !

It's a little scary, but that's okay. The real young master is coming back soon.

Then he'll leave this circle, move to another city, and disappear completely!

But when the real young master finally returns, Su Chong is dumbfounded.

The real young master, Su Xici, is gentle and refined without losing his air of distinction, the most renowned psychologist in the country, a doctoral advisor...

Wait, none of that matters!

Su Chong is completely baffled.

He needs someone to tell him why the real young master is the crush he's been flirting up a storm with lately???
