[Book Transmigration] The Disliked Illegitimate Son Is from Gotham

Before transmigrating, the protagonist worked as a circus clown, part-time magician, part-time prop master, part-time circus manager, part-time revolutionary, and bomb-making enthusiast.

The protagonist transmigrated after forgetting to fasten his safety harness while bungee jumping at a great height.

He awoke inside the body of an unloved illegitimate son in the Great Yong Dynasty.

The illegitimate son and the protagonist looked almost exactly alike.

Except the other's skin wasn't as deathly pale as the protagonist's, his lips weren't as blood-red, his hair wasn't as green, and his brain wasn't as messed up as the protagonist's.

But that wasn't important. The key thing was that the protagonist realized he seemed to have transmigrated into a sweet romance novel.

The protagonist's birth mother had once been a pampered princess, born to a prince. Because she fell in love with a married man, she caused chaos throughout the capital. After failing to take him by force, she was sent by the man she loved and her own father to marry abroad.

The princess was six months pregnant when she left, and gave birth to the protagonist.

Since a baby couldn't be taken along as part of her dowry, the mad princess handed him over to his biological father, the man she loved. He grew up with difficulty amid the resentment of his father's entire family.

In contrast, his younger brother, born on the same day, nearly got kidnapped and drowned in a river by the princess before he was a month old, after his mother died in childbirth. Everyone doted on him and treasured him.

Even the princess's family felt deeply indebted to him and desperately wanted to make it up to him.

To atone for his mother's sins, the protagonist could only live as an illegitimate son with no name or status.

His father thought he was born gloomy and despicable. His brothers bullied him for being weak and helpless, while his maternal grandfather looked on coldly as he suffered.

But the protagonist knew that the body he had transmigrated into hadn't been born to the princess at all. His mother had died in childbirth, and the princess had merely switched him with her own child after they were born.

After all, this world was one big sweet danmei romance. He was the wicked male supporting character, while the switched-at-birth child of the princess was the true protagonist and love interest.

As for how the protagonist knew the truth, it was because he was a lunatic and could hear the thoughts of all things.

Protagonist, in excellent mental health: "I would like to call this skill 'Inland Empire.'"

Since the protagonist was a lunatic whose father didn't love him and whose mother had never loved him, on his first day after transmigrating, he reflected on his life and decided that rather than turn his anger inward, he should take revenge on the world.

So he decided to rebel, overthrow the empire and the feudal system, then use the methods of capitalists to torment even more people.

After all, ancient times were just too inefficient...

An unconventional beautiful-but-tragic story: hated by everyone at first, treasured like a cinnabar mole later. The love interest's one-sided devotion is enormous.

Content warning: The love interest engages in coercive pursuit, and the recipient enjoys it.

Theme: Never turn your anger inward. Embrace a bright future.
