Reborn: I Found The Wrong Brother

Zhong Yansheng had lived for eighteen years when an accidental fall into the water plunged him into a dream—one that revealed he was living inside a book. In that book, he was the fake young master mistakenly raised by a Marquis’s household. When the true young master returned, he(true) was never valued by the family and was sent away to a country estate on the outskirts of the capital. Zhong Yansheng’s parents doted only on him(fake), step by step driving the true young master to blacken, until the end came with the family’s complete ruin. After waking, Zhong Yansheng learned that the true young master had returned to the residence three days earlier. Yet the entire household was still fussing over Zhong Yansheng alone, who was sick. According to the timeline, the true young master should already have been sent off to the country estate on the outskirts of the capital. The situation was urgent. Determined to change the future, Zhong Yansheng began sneaking out every few days. Once he found the true young master, he clung to him and went out of his way to be nice to him—trailing behind him all day, calling him ge this and ge that. It wasn’t until much later that Zhong Yansheng realized— He had the wrong person. And the person he had mistaken was even more dangerous than the villainous true young master. Worse still, on the very day he learned the truth, he was drugged. By a series of unfortunate coincidences, he ended up sleeping with that person. Zhong Yansheng was scared out of his wits and slipped away in the dead of night. — Xiao Nong woke to find that his little tail was gone. He assumed the other had grown shy and waited patiently for him to return. One day passed. Then two. Then three. The little tail never came back. Xiao Nong’s expression darkened. He left the house and began searching for him. Before long, people in the capital noticed that the dalao (bigshot) who had been recuperating outside the city for years had returned—and immediately turned the entire capital upside down. Rumor had it he was hunting down someone who had gravely offended him. When Zhong Yansheng heard the news, he huddled at home with a miserable expression, not daring to step outside. When he absolutely had no choice but to go out, he wore a veiled hat. — Before the Prince of Jing’s wedding, a private banquet was held, and Zhong Yansheng received an invitation. He had been hiding for a long time. Seeing that the rumors outside had finally died down, he felt it should be safe. He attended the banquet together with the true young master he had grown close to. Slightly drunk, he leaned against him and murmured softly, calling him ge. Suddenly, he felt a cold gaze land on him from the seat of honor. Just how many good brothers do you have? — [Moody, unpredictable, lovesick big-boss top × slightly-alluring, pampered, little idiot beauty bottom Older top; age gap of seven years; HE Big demon king × little fool.
