I Went on a Blind Date with My Archrival

Wen Huaifeng was the real young master who had been switched at birth. After being brought back, he killed anyone who stood in his way and led the Wen family to the top of the elite. A classic power fantasy with a male protagonist.

Wen Mingyue was reborn into the story as the Wen family's fake young master, the first cannon fodder to get killed off. He knew his place, willingly gave up his position, and latched onto the real young master's coattails, hoping to stay rich and live as a vain, useless young master.

He survived from chapter 10, where the cannon fodder was supposed to disappear, all the way to chapter 99. But Wen Huaifeng was too hard to please. Wen Mingyue tried too hard and still died in chapter 100.

After being reborn, Wen Mingyue unlocked the comment section. He found no clues about how to save himself, only a flood of comments from fans shipping the couple.

"He took a knife for love. Wen Huaifeng's harem still hasn't settled on a female lead because the living can't compete with the dead!"

Wen Mingyue: "..."

Had he still failed to escape his cannon-fodder fate because he'd stolen the female lead's scenes and been killed off by the plot?

No way. He took a knife for Wen Huaifeng, so who was going to take one for him?

After serious reflection, he changed tactics. The day after his rebirth, he announced his criteria for a partner:

[Decent family and education, gentle and devoted to family, with a few hobbies, but not too career-minded]

That was nothing like Wen Huaifeng's character. Surely the internet shippers wouldn't make things up now, right?

As the fake young master, he was destined to be the real young master's enemy. There was no point sucking up to him. First, he would find a partner, then keep his distance from the real young master and focus on his career!

Wen Mingyue eagerly went on blind dates. His first match was another useless rich kid from their circle. He was wasteful and stupid, but fair-skinned, slender, and easy to handle.

Before long, though, the other guy enlisted. He came back transformed, with a muscular build, dark skin, and a buzz cut. The more Wen Mingyue looked at him, the more attractive he seemed.

His second match was his good-for-nothing childhood friend, a terrible student who suddenly became obsessed with studying one day and set his sights on Harvard.

Wen Mingyue, who had somehow earned a reputation in their circle as a lucky charm for his partners: ?

For his third match, he found someone outside their circle, an obscure actor from the entertainment industry. Surely this guy wouldn't become famous overnight!

Wait. Was this gentle, patient, polite, and humble man, who had even personally driven him to a "blind date," really the same Wen Huaifeng he'd known in his previous life?

--- Wen Huaifeng's POV ---

The day he returned to the Wen family, the former young master of the Wen family put away his arrogance and domineering manner. He lifted his snow-white face and blinked his moist eyes, like a pitiful little cat pleading to be taken in.

Sure enough, Wen Huaifeng said nothing and waited for him to show his true nature and start acting like he owned the place again.

But instead, Wen Mingyue spent every day either meeting a blind date or on his way to meet one?

Wen Huaifeng remained unmoved and quickly settled into the Wen family, taking charge of its affairs. That is, until a close-up photo of Wen Mingyue with some useless rich kid and his sports car came into view.

Wen Mingyue: "The next blind date... Huh? Who did you say made a move?"

Secretary: "Young Master, President Wen is already on his way home. Will you be home tonight?"
