Title: After the Fake Young Master Returned to the Village
Author：喜水木
Chapters: 127 Chapters (Completed)
Synopsis:
After living comfortably as a young master for more than ten years, Jiang Shi finally experienced the classic cliché straight out of a novel: the real vs. fake young master trope.
And… he was the fake one.
There was no scheming green-tea fake young master stealing the nest, nor was there a dramatic comeback where the real young master slapped faces. Both sides peacefully completed the swap.
Following his biological mother through a series of moves, Jiang Shi finally… arrived at the remote countryside village of Xiliu.
One look around, and Jiang Shi felt like the sky had collapsed.
…
The pampered little young master found nothing going his way, and his frustration hit its peak after he bumped into a teenager and ended up spraining his own ankle.
Sitting on the ground with a frown, he blamed everything on the other party.
“Seriously, are you sick or something? Why the hell would you bump into me for no reason?”
Cheng Ye also thought he must be sick—he just stared at Jiang Shi’s face, not even knowing where to put his hands.
He had never seen someone this beautiful before. Every inch of him was perfect—fair and soft, with a delicate flush of pink. Even his words seemed scented, stirring Cheng Ye’s restless heart.
With a selfish thought, Cheng Ye reached out to touch that pale ankle, his voice hoarse. “Sorry.”
If he hadn’t been so strong, Jiang Shi wouldn’t have twisted his foot.
So Jiang Shi shamelessly leaned on Cheng Ye for care. The other boy stayed silent, bearing it all without complaint—perfectly embodying what it meant to be honest and reserved.
Jiang Shi couldn’t help envying Cheng Ye’s taut, muscular build. And seeing how the other had no one to rely on, Jiang Shi suddenly had an idea.
“Hey! How about this—I’ll pay for your schooling, and you be my little brother, how’s that sound?”
And just like that, Jiang Shi bought Cheng Ye’s lifetime loyalty with only a few tens of thousands of yuan.
When Cheng Ye was still a poor farm boy with nothing, he served Jiang Shi with the best food and care.
When Cheng Ye first showed his talent and was busy rushing about, he still made sure Jiang Shi had the best food and care.
And when Cheng Ye finally became a business tycoon, Jiang Shi…
Jiang Shi didn’t even need to lift a finger to eat or drink anymore.
All those who once waited to see Jiang Shi fall flat on his face kept waiting. And waiting. Until in the end, they realized—he was living an even more luxurious life than back at the Jiang household.
…
Wait, did he save the universe in his past life or something?
