The Fake Heir Awakens — Now They All Regret It
Dou Jin
After his death, You Mian discovered he was just a cannon-fodder fake young master in a love-filled battlefield novel.
Scorned by everyone and treated as a replacement for the real young master, Bai Lin—this was his destined fate.
He once thought Yan Tingxuan, whom he grew up with, would be the exception. But not only Yan Tingxuan, all his other friends stood behind Bai Lin, becoming his support.
In his past life, You Mian's heart turned to ashes. Yet, believing he had taken Bai Lin's privileged life, he endured all these changes.
But when the fire broke out, he realized his adoption by the You family was just a scheme—all a ploy to protect Bai Lin.
No wonder he was kidnapped countless times as a child without his father batting an eye. No wonder Bai Lin was "found" immediately after his coming-of-age ceremony, and the You family celebrated without much surprise.
Even those friends had only approached him to compete for Bai Lin.
With everything settled and his heart dead to the world, You Mian was reborn.
This time, he no longer dwelled on truths or falsehoods, right or wrong.
To cut ties completely, You Mian agreed to the You family's conditions and was stuffed into a dating show meant to promote Bai Lin, playing the role of a joke rejected by all of Bai Lin's suitors.
Yan Tingxuan, his old friend, wore a cold expression, as if fearing You Mian would cling to him.
Movie star Yun Guanqing, who lowered himself to join the show, didn't hide his disgust when looking at You Mian.
Huo Yanzhi, who once saw You Mian as a substitute, kept his distance in the show, following Bai Lin exclusively.
You Mian no longer cared about their changes, nor did he crave the bonds of his past life. He remained an indifferent bystander.
But just as he planned to dutifully finish the show and leave this senseless battlefield, those people suddenly weren't having it.
Yan Tingxuan angrily demanded, "If you didn’t send me the heart-fluttering message, who did you send it to?"
Yun Guanqing lowered his eyes and hoarsely admitted, "I misunderstood you before."
Huo Yanzhi desperately fought for You Mian’s date spot, begging shamelessly, "Give me another chance."
To this, You Mian only responded: Thanks, but no thanks—I’m done.
[Straight to the crematorium from the start, full of dog blood, satisfying revenge.]
※ The MC is irresistibly charming, a battlefield of admirers—very intense.
※ Double purity, 1V1, ML is Pei Huaiji, HE.
※ Simple writing, no logic—everything serves the thrill.

**"Survival Instincts Overdrive [Transmigration]" Synopsis:**
Ji Ruan opened his eyes, his scalp tingling and spine chilled—as if under unseen surveillance. He soon realized he’d transmigrated into a horror-thriller novel!
The protagonist, sharing his name, juggled four men, playing with their hearts until one of the yanderes killed him, leaving eerie symbols at the scene.
Now, Ji Ruan was this unlucky playboy, right as the plot began to unfold… Stop! Ji Ruan slammed the brakes—who needs excitement when survival's at stake?
Yet the bigshots still closed in, each demanding Ji Ruan take responsibility.
The mysterious, ascetic professor adjusted his glasses and murmured, "Ruan Ruan loved when I wore these. Why aren’t you happy now?"
Ji Ruan fought trembling, his eyes reddening uncontrollably. "I do like it."
The man narrowed his eyes, rough fingers tracing Ji Ruan’s lashes. "Liar."
The wheelchair-bound uncle of his classmate glared darkly, his cane gripped tight. "Ji Ruan. Come here."
Reluctantly, Ji Ruan stepped close—only to be yanked onto the man's lap. "Haven’t seen you lately. Busy?"
Ji Ruan: *Busy not dying.*
With danger looming, Ji Ruan raced between the four, ensuring they never learned of each other—because he didn’t know *which* of them was the killer.
Yet their possessiveness grew, whispers of locking him away forever circling.
Waking to red marks on his neck, Ji Ruan frowned. Mosquitoes in autumn?
On the surveillance feed, the boy stood by the bed, lifting his shirt—pale skin, pink fingertips, delicate wrists. A sight to rouse ruinous desire.
Ji Ruan suddenly looked up—that feeling of being watched was back.
A voice, dark and twisted, slithered from nowhere: *"Ji Ruan, my rose… no one takes you from me."*
Ji Ruan paled. Wait—since when was this horror novel supernatural?!
**"What Are You Expecting?" Synopsis:**
Right after his concert, Lan Ou rushed to the hospital—Qiu Chiting, the double Silver Bear winner, was injured in a stampede at the awards.
Barging in, Lan Ou found the actor, bandaged head and all, staring dazedly.
"I know you," Qiu Chiting said.
Lan Ou: *"...Yeah, no duh."*
Lan Ou and Qiu Chiting were cinema's golden bromance—college roommates, struggling extras turned A-listers. Their fans adored their bond, untouched by the industry’s shipping frenzy.
Lan Ou wore Qiu Chiting’s jacket at the airport? *"Thanks for looking after our Ou Ou!"*
Qiu Chiting’s phone wallpaper was Lan Ou sleeping? *"With Lan’s divine looks, of course our Qi-ge uses it!"*
Amidst rampant fanfiction, their purity was untouchable.
But then—
"I can see the future," Qiu Chiting declared.
Lan Ou: *"?! Damn, his brain’s broken!"*
Undeterred, Qiu Chiting continued: "We’ll star in a BL film."
Lan Ou: *"Uh, we signed that yesterday."*
"We’ll flirt on set."
Lan Ou: *"!!"*
"You’ll come to my room for acting advice."
Lan Ou: *"I graduated too, thanks."*
Then—
"You like me."
Lan Ou froze. How’d this blockhead know?!
Qiu Chiting touched Lan Ou’s stomach. "And we’ll have two kids."
Lan Ou: *"F*ck, Qiu Chiting, your brain’s fried!"*

**—On set—**
Qiu Chiting, still delusional, sat munching ice cream, watching Lan Ou.
Lan Ou’s neck prickled under the gaze.
Suddenly, Qiu Chiting leaned in: "You didn’t visit last night."
Lan Ou huffed. "The doctor said those ‘visions’ aren’t real."
Qiu Chiting brushed Lan Ou’s reddening ear. "He also said you should take care of me."
Lan Ou grabbed his hand, dragging him to the trailer.
Qiu Chiting waited, lips poised.
The fanfic was practically smut! Lan Ou’s ears burned as he yelled, *"What are you expecting?!"*
