Reborn, the Real Young Master Decides to Go Off the Rails

Gu Yu, the real young master who was deliberately switched at birth and kept away from his family for years, grew up sensible and dignified.

"Gu Yu, stick to the script during the interview later. Don't say anything you shouldn't." "Okay."

"Xiao Yu, your younger brother staying at home doesn't mean anything by it. Your grandparents are old and can't bear to part with him, so don't overthink it. Besides, his acting career is on the rise, and he can help the family." "Mm."

"Bro, I'm so jealous that you get to live an ordinary life. Come be my personal assistant and tell me more about it, okay?" "Sure."

He thought that being sensible would eventually earn him the happiness he'd been denied, but instead he fell into an even darker abyss.

Humiliated by friends and relatives, used by his family, and ultimately made the scapegoat, he died miserably in prison after falling ill.

Given another chance, Gu Yu saw things differently. To hell with being a decent, sensible person. He decided to go off the rails.

During a news interview, Gu Yu smiled and pulled out a sheet of paper. "Sorry, I haven't memorized my lines. Can we cut that and start over?"

Reporter: Holy crap, this is going viral!

Adoptive parents: ...

At the wealthy family's reunion, Gu Yu teared up in front of the media. "That's wonderful. My parents arranged for me to live in a little apartment in the suburbs. I thought the family was struggling financially, but now that I see everyone living in such a beautiful villa, I'm relieved."

Entertainment reporter: Holy crap, front-page news!

Biological parents: ...

Appearing on a variety show with his celebrity younger brother, Gu Jiayi, Gu Yu said earnestly, "My brother treats me really well. He was worried I wouldn't find a job, so he made me his assistant. I get two days off a month, and the pay is 4,000 a month."

Netizens: Holy crap, what a juicy scoop!

Gu Jiayi: ...

The biggest star on the show was the award-winning actor Jiang Linzhao, who shot to fame at a young age and had won countless awards. He was an idol to countless young people in the industry.

Gu Jiayi was especially bold about declaring his admiration for the actor on the show. The plan was to play up his fanboy persona and hitch his wagon to the actor's star.

But when the host asked who he was most interested in meeting at the event, Jiang Linzhao answered:

"Gu Yu."

"Why?" The award-winning actor smiled slightly. "Because he's well-behaved."
