Surprise! After Being Reborn, My Childhood Friend and Nemesis Chases Me Into a Whirlwind Marriage

[Male leads + sworn enemies + mutual pining + marriage before love + fiercely protective]

Qiao Xia died. When he woke up, he found himself reborn as another person named “Qiao Xia,” and his sworn enemy of 800 years, Qin Yuan, had mistaken him for a kept lover and dumped him. Qin Yuan had barely “returned” him when he came chasing after him the very next day to beg him to get married...

Each thought the other was in love with someone else, so their relationship felt like a love story with four people in it.

Qiao Xia: This is so annoying. Qin Yuan doesn’t love me.

Qin Yuan: I can’t let my wife know I know who he is, or he’ll leave me.

After becoming “Qiao Xia,” he stopped being timid and learned not to put up with a thing.

His sharp-tongued younger stepbrother showed up to persuade him to break up. “You’re just a substitute. Even if you get his body, you’ll never have his heart!”

Qiao Xia: “Oh, we’re married. His money and his body are both mine. Bet that makes you furious.”

His cheating scumbag of a father tried to take all his inheritance while he was dead.

Qiao Xia: Sorry, I made a will before I died.

His vicious former stepmother showed up uninvited. “Have you no manners? Is this how you treat a guest?”

Qiao Xia: “You’re one to talk. You came here begging to be insulted.”

A high school classmate turned coworker, jealous of him, made snide remarks. “You’re such a phony!”

Qiao Xia: “What, did I pretend to be your dad?”

His exploitative agent cursed him out for being useless.

Qiao Xia: “If you’re so capable, you do it.”

A bizarre relative he hadn’t spoken to in ages came asking for money. “We’re your elders. We’ve eaten more salt than you’ve walked roads...”

Qiao Xia: “Did you spend all your school years eating salt? You open your mouth and sound illiterate. I won’t give you money, but if you all drop dead right now, I might even pay for your coffins.”
