The Honest Guy Doesn't Want to Be a Villainous Fake Young Master

After Yan Yan died unexpectedly, he was reborn as the vicious fake young master in an old-school novel set at an aristocratic academy.

The original owner was the youngest child of a wealthy family, adored since childhood and spoiled and willful. Because of his powerful background, everyone dared not speak up even when they resented him. Even after it was revealed that he was a fake young master who had taken the real heir's place, he still monopolized his adoptive parents' affection and secretly bullied and humiliated the male lead, the true young master.

Once the truth came out, the original owner was abandoned by everyone. Those who had always disliked him eagerly kicked him while he was down. In the end, one of the male lead's admirers locked him in a dungeon for seven days and nights, where he died after enduring unspeakable torment.

By the time Yan Yan arrived, the original owner had already been bullying the male lead for a month.

And all because the upperclassman the original owner had a crush on had exchanged a few words with the male lead.

Yan Yan: Don't panic, don't rush. This can still be fixed.

Yan Yan planned to help the male lead reunite with his birth family ahead of schedule, then stay out of the plot and return to an ordinary life.

But whenever the male lead was bullied, he couldn't help stepping in to defend him.

Yan Yan: It'd be a shame to see such a handsome face get hurt.

After the male lead reclaimed his identity, he wasn't surrounded by admirers as in the original story. Instead, the bullying only got worse.

Yan Yan knocked out every irritating nobody in his way and protected the male lead.

Yan Yan: Sigh. What would you do without me?

Unbeknownst to him, behind his back, the male lead wore a sinister smile, pleased that his scheme had worked.

For eighteen years, Shen Xing had lived a life shrouded in darkness. Then a little sun appeared.

He was warmed and illuminated by it, and foolishly thought that this little sun belonged to him alone. Only later did he realize that it shone on everyone.

And he wanted to keep that sun all to himself.
