Our Future Baby Came to Find Us, and My Archenemy Heard My Thoughts

[Future baby, archrivals, mind-reading, marriage first and love later, time-travel mystery, lighthearted and sweet romance]

Their five-year-old daughter from six years in the future suddenly drops out of the sky, hugs Ruan Jingtang, and calls her Mom. Then she points at Ruan Jingtang’s archrival, He Lincuan, and calls him Dad.

She says that in the future, they’ll marry three times and divorce twice. In the end, Ruan Jingtang will die on a rainy night, and the person holding the murder weapon will be He Lincuan.

Ruan Jingtang’s first instinct is to call the police. Her second is to stay as far away from that jerk as possible.

But a countdown to life’s end on Sui Sui’s wrist shows that if her parents split up, she’ll disappear. To save Sui Sui, Ruan Jingtang has no choice but to move in with He Lincuan, pretend they’re in love, and even enter into a fake marriage.

Just as this outrageous family experiment begins, He Lincuan discovers that he can hear her thoughts.

On the surface, Ruan Jingtang is cool and distant. “Please keep your distance, Mr. He.”

But in her head, she’s going wild: This man has such a slim waist. I bet his abs feel great. Too bad he has a mouth.

He Lincuan can’t take it anymore and corners her against the wall.

“Are you trying to solve the case, or sleep with me?”

She thinks the greatest danger in her future is He Lincuan, but then she finds a safe hidden in a wall, sent from six years ahead. Inside is the truth behind her death, but it can only be opened if the two of them become legally married.

Even stranger, the future He Lincuan has left behind a warning.

“If I don’t make it back, don’t trust anyone, including the future me.”

A fake marriage becomes a scheme set in motion by two archrivals working together. But as the past and future close in at the same time, Ruan Jingtang realizes that the man every piece of evidence points to as the murderer has repeatedly risked his life to rewrite her ending.

This time, she’ll survive, and bring him back too.
