This is a fan translation. The story will have a live action adaptation entitled 'Bittersweet Love' releasing this July 03, 2026.
Side Note: Yes, Bittersweet Love or BL which is kind of a pun itself (😂). Well, I have reasons to believe it's on purpose.
Native title: 嫁入高门的男人
Status: Completed + Extra Chapters
Lu Xiaofan, a young man from a poor rural family who was forced to drop out of school, marries into a wealthy household and becomes the son-in-law of a high-ranking official in Beijing.
At first, he thinks he has struck the jackpot. Little does he know that what awaits him is nothing more than a cheap green hat-a symbol of infidelity.
Although his wife leaves much to be desired, he is fortunate to have an excellent brother-in-law, Bei Luqing. Born into a prominent family, handsome, wealthy, and a top student from a prestigious university, Bei Luqing is someone Lu Xiaofan deeply admires and looks up to.
Like a weed that thrives in any crack, Lu Xiaofan constantly adjusts his goals in life. He tries to find a place for himself in every role around Bei Luqing, only to discover that the only vacant position is that of a pervert. Though he does not consider himself one, he grits his teeth and squeezes into the role anyway.
As a result, Lu Xiaofan fails to become Bei Luqing's trusted friend. He fails to become his capable confidant. In the end, he becomes Bei Luqing's perverted lover instead.
To Lu Xiaofan, the whole situation feels terribly unfair. It is like being labeled one of the "Five Black Categories" before even knowing one's own background only to be told from the start that one is a traitor.
