Xiang Xu was the Crown Prince of the Yin Dynasty. Blessed with striking good looks and raised under the intimidating majesty of his imperial father and elder brother, he grew up to be exceptionally big-hearted and carefree.
However, there was one thing he could never let go of—rumors claimed he preferred men. His pristine reputation was utterly ruined, leaving him single and lonely for twenty years!
Finally, a political marriage brought him a Crown Princess. Rumor had it she was gentle, sweet, and a peerless beauty. More importantly, she didn’t mind the rumors about him. Xiang Xu was smitten and vowed to love only her for the rest of his life.
But heaven had other plans. On his wedding night, he blinked, and—boom—where the heck was he?!
Wasn’t he a Crown Prince? How did he turn into a penniless pretty boy living in a run-down tenement building, relying on his older sister to feed him? Wasn’t he rich enough to rival nations? How did he end up 2.05 million in debt and stumbling blindly into the entertainment industry?
He could tolerate all of that. But what about his Crown Princess? Where was his huge, beautiful Crown Princess?! Pia! Just like that, she was gone!
What could he do? He just had to suck it up!
Thanks to his massive heart, Xiang Xu figured out a way to pass as a modern man. He took on jobs to pay off his debts and accidentally ended up in showbiz. But absolutely nothing went right for him:
-
He walked into a random shop and got scammed.
-
Someone came to find him at work, and he immediately got rumored to be a “privileged resources user” (royalty).
-
He streamed a video game play-through and managed to offend the production crew.
-
Even when giving an award acceptance speech, he managed to generate a mountain of anti-fan drama for himself!
Every time he hit rock bottom, a certain man would pop out of nowhere, cursing him out for being crazy and accusing him of intentionally making himself look pathetic just to win his sympathy!
What an injustice! Your Honor, I am innocent! Do you think I want to starve, be falsely accused, get beaten up, have rumors spread about me, and be canceled? Am I begging for your sympathy? You’re obviously the one overthinking everything in your own head!
Though the man had a tongue dipped in poison, he stuck by Xiang Xu through thick and thin. Xiang Xu thought to himself: If it weren’t for the fact that I already have my Crown Princess, Yiyi, waiting for me, these rumors might actually come true—I might really fall for a man.
Until one day, that very man looked at him pitifully and said: “If you want to call me Yiyi, I’ll go along with it. If you don’t like men, I can go to Thailand and find a way to fix that. But if you’re planning to dump me, absolutely not. You’re so pathetic, you won’t survive without me!”
Oh, oh, so that guy is actually his Crown Princess. Well, then it’s fine, hahaha— …Like hell it is!!!
Holy crap, the rumors came true! My gentle and lovely Crown Princess turned into a man! I really do like men now! And please stop calling me pathetic! I didn’t even think I was miserable until you kept saying it!
Wait, something’s wrong. How come every time something bad happens, you’re always there, but I never see you when things are going smoothly?!
Mu Lianyi smiled faintly: “Probably because I bring bad luck to my husband. After all… I was the one who killed you in our past life.”
