[Reborn again and again + must team up to survive]
Eighteenth-tier actor uke x newly crowned Best Actor and top-tier star seme
Su Xi x Lu Chenzhou
Su Xi was reborn seven times.
He knew the flood apocalypse better than the weather forecast, but every time he was on his own, and every time he failed to survive a month.
On his seventh go, he gave up trying.
Then he got a 150-square-meter space ring and met Lu Chenzhou, who had also been reborn seven times: a newly crowned Best Actor, a top-tier star, and the subject of Su Xi's dating rumors.
They formed an alliance on the spot: survive the apocalypse together, then go their separate ways.
Su Xi had stockpiled three years' worth of food, and Lu Chenzhou had a modified fishing boat.
The plan was perfect, foolproof.
Then the boat sank.
Su Xi flew into a helpless rage. "It's all your fault for having 'Sinking Boat' in your name!!"
Lu Chenzhou meekly replied, "Then I'll change my name to Yang Fan."
Yang Fan: set sail.
They survived, only to end up stranded on a deserted island.
There was no one else on the island. Su Xi thought at last he could have some peace and quiet, but this guy with the new name was a chatterbox.
He kept talking while building a wall, kept talking while digging an irrigation channel, and could even go on about everything from grilling temperature to seasoning ratios while cooking a fish.
Later, they faced torrential rain, extreme cold, species mutations, and the awakening of supernatural powers.
Later still, they discovered that this world was fake.
[Bonus scene]
Su Xi: Where did you get all these birth control supplies?
Lu Chenzhou: I prepared them before the flood.
Su Xi: What?!
Lu Chenzhou, aggrieved: There were actually two more boxes, but they were swept away with the boat.
[Reading notes]
1. The uke has a space; the seme gains supernatural powers later on.
2. Desert island survival, farming and infrastructure, slow burn.
3. I don't know, I'll add more if I think of anything.
