Original title: The Young Master Keeps a Lover: Shocking! After Transmigrating, I Conquer the World with Food
A refined and elegant young nobleman from ancient times who is actually devious and calculating (top) X A wealthy young master who seems “low-energy and half-dead,” sharp-tongued, and obsessed with food, but is actually perceptive, kindhearted, and an outstanding cook (bottom)
The unserious blurb:
Shocking! The number one young master of the Ning'an Xie clan, Xie Hongshen, has “hidden a beauty in Lingya,” and that beauty is a man!
Shocking! The clans of the land are fighting over one person, and that person is actually...
Shocking! Behind the fierce rivalry between the clans and the imperial family lies a scandalous love affair that must be told...
Shocking! In ancient times, beacons were lit to make the feudal lords laugh for the sake of a beauty. Today, a million troops march across the mountains and rivers to bring a beloved man into the Xie residence!
Shocking... my foot!
Wei Jiu Si, the “man” hidden away in Lingya, is an unlucky, useless layabout and spoiled second-generation heir.
He transmigrates, immediately has his secret identity exposed, and gets “imprisoned” on Mount Lingya. To make matters worse, he is inexplicably slandered as a male fox spirit!
Wei Jiu Si: I am a perfectly straight man with iron bones. Who's spreading rumors that I'm a male fox spirit? And who says I'm the one beguiling Xie Hongshen, that scheming, calculating man? He's the fox spirit here!
Xie Hongshen: ...There must be some misunderstanding... right?
Wei Jiu Si: Aaaaaah... Just let me find out who's spreading this. Hmph! ╭(╯^╰)╮ Hmph!
Xie Hongshen: Brother Wei, the moon is beautiful tonight. How about a late-night snack?
Core theme: We'll create a wonderful life together!
