The Bratty One Was Spoiled Rotten by Her Fake Ascetic

[Mind-Reading, Petty Fake Young Master X Pretend-Celibate, Devoted Daddy]

Blurb:

Chen Nanxing, the young master of the Chen family, the richest family in the capital, was spoiled rotten by his whole family. He grew up pampered and arrogant. No matter how much the powerful resented him, they could only grit their teeth and bear it.

But who could have imagined that Chen Nanxing was a fake young master?

The real young master had been kidnapped at the age of three by the abandoned mistress of the Chen family patriarch and had disappeared without a trace. The Chen Group was on the rise, and to protect its public image, the family had to conceal everything and choose a replacement from an orphanage.

At over twenty, the real young master made a high-profile return, and Chen Nanxing suddenly found himself in an awkward position. Everyone waited to laugh at him, looking for a chance to kick him while he was down and trample on his pride.

But in truth, it was Chen Nanxing who had arranged for the real young master to return.

When he was eighteen, Chen Nanxing represented the company on a site inspection. His bullying and swaggering ended with a brick splitting his head open.

From then on, something called the System appeared in his mind. He learned that he was a fake young master and gained the ability to hear everyone's thoughts.

His parents, who appeared to be happily married, had long since fallen out. They each did as they pleased in private while maintaining appearances in public.

His aloof eldest brother wasn't simply bad at expressing himself. He was genuinely fed up with Chen Nanxing's capriciousness and hated that Chen Nanxing had taken his younger brother's place.

His kind second brother was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing. All his past provocations had been meant to use Chen Nanxing as a scapegoat, shifting all the blame for his own mistakes onto him.

Chen Nanxing went from disbelief to calm acceptance, and his temper mellowed somewhat. He wanted to hate them, but felt indebted to them, so he planned to find the real young master and then leave.

But he hadn't expected that once the real young master returned, he would be forced into a marriage alliance. He wanted to run, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get away.

He thought everyone hated him, until he met his fiance, a nouveau riche man dressed in an old-fashioned suit with an ascetic air.

Chen Nanxing was speechless. Wasn't this Qin, the construction worker he'd bossed around mercilessly on the job site?

--

The construction worker Qin had become a nouveau riche tycoon. Every day, he kept a cold face while taking care of Chen Nanxing, cooking for him, washing his feet, driving him to and from school, and even helping him with his physical needs every day.

[My wife's so fragrant.]

[My wife's so soft.]

[My wife was so good today.]

The nouveau riche man was stiff and reserved, helping him with his needs in a prim and proper manner before hiding in the bathroom for over an hour. His thoughts were full of dirty talk, but to Chen Nanxing's face he acted like a chaste man, lecturing him about the dangers of indulgence.

Under this doting contrast, Chen Nanxing finally let loose. His habit of causing trouble was even worse than before, and he turned the capital upside down all over again!

Weird parents: Get yelled at!

Hated eldest brother: Get beaten!

Useless second brother: Get out!

Whenever someone came to confront him, his nouveau riche husband stood up for him. Chen Nanxing only had to stand by and say in a soft, pitiful voice:

"Daddy, look at them..."
