After Pretending to Be a Rich Heir, I Caught the Attention of the Dragon-Aotian

After transmigrating into a book, Yan Que had a clear and simple plan: follow the same-name big shot's path to riches and make a fortune quietly.

He knew the plan by heart and had everything ready. But at the last moment, Duan Mingjiong snatched every business opportunity right out from under him!

The money he had almost made vanished into thin air. Yan Que was so angry his teeth hurt, and he immediately vowed to get revenge: To make big money, you have to look rich. He'd pose as a rich kid, get close to the jerk who had stolen his business, and give him a good runaround. Then he could vent some of his poverty-stricken fury.

Though his pockets were so empty they practically rattled, Yan Que put on a perfect rich-kid act. "I'll take all your goods. I like the look of you."

He lied without batting an eye, always acting like a rich kid who had seen it all.

He was so arrogant and certain his performance was flawless that every day he rehearsed how to manipulate Duan Mingjiong.

Just you wait. Some stupid business-novel hero? He'll soon be my defeated underling, hahaha!

*

A fair, clean face. Dark eyes that darted about. He had plenty of schemes, but his shallow little tricks were written all over his face.

Duan Mingjiong saw right through this "young master" at a glance.

But watching the fool stubbornly pretend to be rich and seriously try to pull off his little tricks struck him as funny.

Duan Mingjiong's eyes were cold.

Yet he smiled and said, "Sure."

*

He'd sneak out at the same time every day to dump manure into the fish pond Duan Mingjiong had contracted, killing all the fish and ruining Duan Mingjiong's name and business! Then he'd be unable to deliver his orders!

Yan Que rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes sparkling as he immersed himself in his grand revenge plot, convinced he was playing every move perfectly.

He didn't notice the domineering hero standing ominously behind him, closing in step by step.

Yan Que was caught red-handed.

"A rich kid? And this is how you act?"

"I-It's not..."

"Did you get close to me just so you could screw me over?"

"N-No..."

"Then tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"

Duan Mingjiong looked ready to kill, and Yan Que trembled in fear, looking like he couldn't afford to pay a cent.

Oh, so he was only pretending to be rich. And it was a lie that he liked him. He was nothing but a liar.

In that case...

"Back where I'm from, anyone who damages property and can't pay for it gets shoved into a pig cage and drowned."

"What!?"

"Think carefully about what else you can use to pay me back."

Yan Que was dumbstruck.

Wasn't this supposed to be a story about framing him? How had his revenge failed, only for him to end up paying with himself?

# A silly beauty bottom who thinks he's a business-novel genius full of clever schemes, but is actually overconfident and hopelessly naive # (Yan Chaoneng / Yan Que) [Note: Yan Chaoneng = Yan Que = hand, a little clever trick]

# A true domineering hero top: cunning and calculating early on, selfish, a rough-hewn man who built himself up from nothing, and later a macho business tycoon # (Duan Mingjiong)

Reading Guide:

1. # Strong top, weak bottom # # Size difference #

They are both poor when the story begins, but the top is more calculating. He hides his strength and seems poor on the surface, but is actually much better off financially than the bottom. He'll get rich later.

2. They are each other's only partner. Neither is a perfect person. They're a crooked pot and a crooked lid, both bad people who can drive each other crazy.

3. The story is set in a fictionalized modern world based on a game, with no golden finger System. It simply borrows the era's backdrop, adapting the turn-of-the-millennium setting and place names. It has no connection to reality, so please overlook the logic.

4. All industry-related details are made up by the author. Professionals, please don't criticize.

Coming soon: Has the Villain Bottom Been Bullied by a Villain Today?

Blurb: [A story about a vicious beauty who provokes four villains of varying degrees, brings it all on himself, and gets his comeuppance.]

Cen Kui is a terrible actor, with no money, connections, or background. He uses dirty tricks to compete with actors in the same league for roles. Even when he finally lands a part, he can only act well when playing a villain who shares his nasty personality.

If he wants a smooth career, he'll have to be ruthless and seduce a powerful big shot into willingly becoming his patron.

It's clear that Cen Kui is a thoroughly mercenary, self-serving love rat.

What's more, he has an exceptionally fresh, youthful face, innocent and deceptive, and a soft, clear voice.

No one can resist his relentless pleading.

The internationally renowned movie star Qin Xianchuan falls for him through their work together. Just as expected, he falls hard.

Handsome and tall, he grips Cen Kui's slender waist with one hand to keep him from moving around. They star together in a film where the villain bullies the hero in the early scenes, and, as expected, their contrasting builds make them a hit.

The director asks with a camera in hand, "At the end of this film, the villain is punished by the protagonist and locked away, in what's commonly called a confinement scene. As the actor playing the villain, what would you want to happen if we filmed a bonus episode?"

Cen Kui wants to please Qin Xianchuan, but he doesn't want to act in another scene where he suffers. After much hesitation, he can only say, "Please don't make the villain go hungry in the confinement scene again. You can give him something to eat. Anything else is fine."

The director turns the camera toward Qin Xianchuan and asks him the same question.

Qin Xianchuan says, "I hope the villain can stop flirting with everyone."

"And what if he doesn't change?" the director asks, unable to resist.

In the video, Qin Xianchuan's smile freezes for a moment, and his eyes seem to change. A second later, he looks as approachable as ever.

"Then it won't be as simple as denying him food."

It was as if his words had come true.

Rumors about Cen Kui and Movie Star Qin kept making the rounds online. But behind his back, Cen Kui also latched on to the eldest son of a top Kyoto financial dynasty for the sake of better roles.

Cen Kui's former boyfriends all seethed with rage.

So it was only natural that Cen Kui got what he deserved.

No matter how unwilling he was, he was forced to sign a [Die Together] System test agreement. Cen Kui would have to pass the test and mend his habit of flirting around.

Conditions for clearing the test:

1. Keep yourself chaste.

2. Go through fire and water for the person you love.

3. Make heartfelt amends to the men you hurt in the past through your selfishness.

100. (Highlighted in red): Give your life for the person you love, and make him feel your love.

Cen Kui: "Are you crazy? There's no way I can do that!"

Unfortunately, he had no choice.

Cen Kui would have to keep transmigrating into the test worlds and work to dispel everyone's resentment, begging them to forgive him for being fickle and throwing them away once he was done with them, all while looking as pitiful as possible.

Otherwise,

none of them would let him off, even in death.
