After the Fake Young Master Returned to the Village

Synopsis:

Jiang Shi has the looks to make up for what he lacks in brains, and the looks to make up for his temper, too.

After more than a decade of living the charmed life of a rich young master, Jiang Shi finally runs into one of those popular novel tropes: the mix-up between the real and fake young masters.

Well...he's the fake one.

There's no fake young master pretending to be sweet and innocent to steal someone else's place, and no real young master rising up for face-slapping. The two families make the switch peacefully.

Jiang Shi follows his birth mother from place to place until, at last...he arrives in the remote village of Xiliu.

He looks around and immediately feels like his whole world has collapsed.

The pampered young master has a hard time with absolutely everything. His mood hits rock bottom after he bumps into a boy and ends up spraining his own ankle.

He sits on the ground, frowning, and blames the other boy for everything.

“What's wrong with you? Why'd you bump into me for no reason?”

Cheng Ye thinks there must be something wrong with him, too. He stares at Jiang Shi's face, not knowing where to put his hands.

He's never seen anyone so beautiful. Everything about him is beautiful, all pink and white from head to toe, and even his words seem to carry a sweet scent, making Cheng Ye's heart race.

With ulterior motives, he reaches out to touch that fair ankle, his voice hoarse. “I'm sorry.”

If he weren't so big and strong, Jiang Shi wouldn't have sprained his ankle.

Jiang Shi takes full advantage, making Cheng Ye wait on him. Cheng Ye silently puts up with everything, perfectly embodying the idea that a man of few words gets on with the job.

Jiang Shi can't help envying Cheng Ye's firm, muscular body. Seeing how he has no one to rely on, Jiang Shi gets an idea.

“Hey! How about this? I'll pay for your education, and you can be my underling.”

And so, for a mere few tens of thousands, Jiang Shi buys himself Cheng Ye for life.

When Cheng Ye is still a penniless country boy, he makes sure Jiang Shi has plenty of good food and drink.

When Cheng Ye begins to make a name for himself and gets busy running around, he still makes sure Jiang Shi has plenty of good food and drink.

By the time Cheng Ye finally becomes a business tycoon, Jiang Shi...

Jiang Shi doesn't even have to lift a finger to eat or drink anymore.

Everyone who used to dislike Jiang Shi waits for him to become a laughingstock. But after waiting and waiting, they realize he lives an even more comfortable life than he did with the Jiang family.

Seriously, did he save the universe in his past life?

Note:

This isn't for readers who take either character's side. Fans of the top shouldn't read it, and neither should fans of the bottom. The author doesn't spend much time online and doesn't read novel comments, so please forgive me if I'm out of touch. Let's spare each other the trouble.
