two novels! i’m trying to separate them in my mind but some things may get mixed up 1.) mc transmigrates into a boy who took up his fathers debts and has a younger brother with a heart condition. he works at a tea house and does music performances when he meets ml. they have a sugar daddy/baby relationship at first but then it progresses to love. ml dotes the hell out of him when they do start dating, to the point where his entire college knows abt him having a ceo for a bf. remember them having a dog named duchess, mc was an art student, the villain stole his art and dated his boyfriend, eventually they got retribution. i think this one was one of the last arcs to be translated? 2.) mc transmigrates into a frivolous cheater but turns things around by getting a modeling job in order to trick the ogs boyfriend. the villain(s) of the arc are the ogs boyfriend and a white lotus, btw. he meets ml at a perfume shoot and i think they had a sugar daddy/baby relationship too. ml saves mc after the og boyfriend left him at a sex/drug party and their relationship progresses. eventually mc catches the og boyfriend sleeping with the white lotus, throws money at them, then leaves to do his own thing. i remember ml trying to console him thinking he was crying but mc was actually laughing.
I know the first one. But I forgot the title as well. So I'm just gonna add details. The MC's brother is acute a snake. He is really sick but not that sick. So when mc transmigrated he begun to ignore this brother. This brother is one of the people who torment the original owner. I think this is the first arc? The original owner is really pitiful. He is a second gen rich, but went bankrupt. I think his parents committed suicide. The first scene is when the art teacher went to give that villain cannon fodder classmate his scholarship when the orgi owner's painting is much more beautiful than the classmate. If I'm not mistaken that classmate is reborn? I think he was supposed to be the protagonist. Ah, I can't remember. Mc came from ancient china I think, so when he came to his part time job, where he was supposed to be fired, he beg the owner that he could play quin? In the tea house. Coincidentally,l was there. Ahaha, I will stop there. I think if I continue it will mixed some other novels here. Hahaha.
I think you are correct. The first arc is very short, less than 10 chapters, but it is the one with the teahouse and playing the guqin. The art is the second arc right after it.
