The Real Young Master Was Sold as a Slave, The Obsessive Crown Prince's Forced Love - Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Bullet Screen Awakening

It was the day of the wedding.

Song Yu stared at the sight before him in shock.

[Oh my god, I can’t bear to read on. My heart aches for Little Yu.]

[I know! The thought of Little Yu immediately being sold as a slave by this family makes my heart seize up.]

[Little Yu clearly passed the imperial exam and earned the title of Juren (Successful Candidate), but they want to let that shameless fake young master take his place!]

Wait…

Why were so many words floating in front of him?

In his stunned confusion, Song Yu’s eyes locked onto one line: Little Yu clearly passed the imperial exam…

Were they talking about him? Did he pass?

But didn’t Father and Mother say he failed?

Just as Song Yu’s heart was churning with the sudden appearance of these lines of text—

[Little Yu definitely doesn’t know that the scum Gu Zhen, who keeps professing his love for him, is currently making out with the fake young master behind the rockery in the backyard.]

[I don’t get it. They’ve already planned to let the fake young master steal Little Yu’s scholarly title, and that scumbag Gu Zhen is hooking up with the fake young master, so why bother with this marriage ceremony?]

Song Yu’s heart lurched violently.

Gu Zhen and the fake young master… making out… behind the rockery in the backyard?

Although he had no idea what was going on with these lines of text suddenly appearing, Song Yu immediately shot to his feet upon seeing that last comment.

Outside, the sound of traditional instruments played festive wedding music.

Today was the day of his marriage to Gu Zhen.

Just yesterday, Gu Zhen had told him: He would only love him in this life.

Taking a quick look at the busy crowd outside the window, Song Yu decisively shoved the eight-immortals table away from the wall, pushed open the back window, and scrambled out.

[What is Little Yu going to do?]

[Is Little Yu heading straight for the backyard?]

[Could he be going to catch them in the act of adultery?]

[Why is the plot slightly different? The preview said Little Yu would be waiting for that scumbag to arrive! It didn’t say Little Yu would leave. What’s going on?]

On such a festive day, the servants were all busy in the front courtyard, leaving the backyard almost completely silent.

As soon as Song Yu reached the rockery, he heard the sounds of heavy breathing and moans coming from inside.

“Brother Gu Zhen, Eldest Brother is waiting in his wedding clothes for you to marry him! What if he finds out you’re pressing me and kissing me like this~”

Gu Zhen, dressed in his wedding Jifu (auspicious robes), ripped open the clothes of the person in his arms.

The moment skin was exposed, he began kissing frantically.

As his lips wandered, he gasped roughly, “My heartless little darling, why do you think I tolerated being near him for the past half year? It was all so he wouldn’t suspect a thing while using your name to take the imperial exam for you and secure that title.

“Without me, his fiancé, maneuvering around him, how could he have been so easily fooled?

“Now that the scholarly title is secured, how will you thank me?”

The lustful teasing mixed with the breathing of the person beneath him quickly turned into a scene of joy and debauchery.

Song Yu stood by the rockery, his face pale with rage.

He was trembling with fury.

Those dogs!

[I’m so heartbroken. I can’t imagine how much pain Little Yu is in right now.]

[Even without the visuals, judging by the sounds, things are getting intense inside that rockery!]

[So, the Anping Earl’s Manor found Little Yu half a year ago and said he was their real young master, but the whole purpose was just to make him earn the scholarly title for the fake young master?]

[I knew it! Ever since Little Yu returned, the Anping Earl’s Manor kept making excuses to keep him sequestered, claiming he needed to focus on his studies, so people outside had no idea he even existed.]

Line after line of text floated past.

Song Yu wished he could grab a nearby rock and smash the male dogs inside to death.

But killing the scumbags would be easy; alerting them to his presence would be disastrous.

Regardless, the words that had suddenly appeared seemed to be true.

They said Gu Zhen and the fake young master were having a tryst here, and they truly were.

They also said he was about to be sold into slavery and have his hard-earned scholarly title stolen…

No!

The most pressing matter was to leave this place immediately, in case he really was sold into slavery.

Clenching his fists tightly, Song Yu turned, ready to slip away quietly—

[OH NO!]

[The Anping Earl and his wife are here, bringing people with them!]

[They even brought the slaver! Wuwuwu, are they going to sell Little Yu as a slave?]

[Even though the plot is different from the preview, he still can’t avoid being sold. My heart breaks for him.]

[Will Little Yu go offline after being sold?]

The moment he turned, Song Yu watched the floating words in shock, and almost simultaneously, instinctively looked toward the backyard gate.

Just as he looked, his father, the Anping Earl, and his mother, Madam Wang, marched over with seven or eight people in tow.

Song Yu’s heart spasmed with pain.

Half a year ago, the Anping Earl and Madam Wang found him, weeping as they held him, claiming he was their long-lost child.

They had shown him kindness and care for the past six months…

Was all that love a lie?

Would they really sell him into slavery?

As Song Yu’s thoughts flashed through his mind, Madam Wang raised her hand and pointed toward him, giving a sharp order, “Quickly! Seize that wretched slave for me!”

As soon as the command was given, two burly men rushed toward Song Yu.

Song Yu gritted his teeth.

Damn it!

Based on his survival instinct, he immediately turned to run.

But he was not as fast as his attackers. He was kicked squarely in the back, sending his entire body crashing against the rockery.

Bang!

His forehead hit hard and immediately started to bleed.

His arms were twisted and pinned to the ground, and a rag was shoved into his mouth, silencing him.

Song Yu: …

No!

Did he just lose all his strength and ability to resist?

The Anping Earl looked at him with utter disgust and addressed the slave broker: “This is a worthless slave from our manor. Taking advantage of the wedding festivities, he stole property from the manor and put on my son’s wedding robes, trying to escape by pretending to be him. He is simply treacherous, ungrateful, and a scoundrel. Our manor will not keep such a wretch.”

After the Earl finished speaking, Madam Wang pulled out a deed of sale from her sleeve and handed it to the slave broker. “Take this wretch immediately. You don’t need to pay a single copper coin; just sell him far away and make sure we never see him again. He’s a complete jinx!”

The slave broker took the deed, immediately grinning ingratiatingly. “Earl and Madam, don’t worry. I will surely sell this little wretch far, far away, and he will never appear before you again.”

[Little Yu is going offline just like that?]

[How cruel! Why is Little Yu so miserable? He studied so hard, only to have his scholarly title so lightly snatched away, and then to be sold as a wretched slave?]

[Poor Little Yu didn’t even get a chance to question them before being taken away by the slave broker.]

[Speaking of which, after Little Yu goes offline, will the biggest villain in the play, the Crown Prince, appear soon? I heard he’s incredibly handsome!]

[The sinister, obsessive, murderous main villain, HASS HASS (a fan sound of excitement/lust) ~]

[I still can’t bear to lose Little Yu. I wonder where he’ll be sold to.]
