[Strong, Protective German Shepherd Type & Cool, Aloof Catlike Beauty With a Tragic Past]
Si Le is a genius teenager: his parents are dead, he's distant and quiet, and trouble never seems far away.
For now, his goal is to make it through high school without incident and get into college. He never expected the people around him to start acting strangely...
A deadly menace lurks in the shadows, repeatedly trying to kill him.
Their methods include, but aren't limited to, having people follow and ambush him, inciting his classmates to ostracize him, and sending villains to his door.
By a twist of fate, he finally figured out the truth:
He's the ultimate villain, a scientist in a suspense-horror novel.
He appears in the second half of the story and, with his unparalleled beauty and intellect and his ruthless nature, quickly becomes hugely popular, driving the perfectly in-sync male and female leads to the brink of a breakup.
Si Le hesitated. "The villain... is me?"
As if that weren't bad enough,
everyone had been reborn except him.
Faced with reborn people harboring malice, Si Le promptly calls the police. One by one, he sends them all off to prison.
Every now and then, someone gets so annoying that dark thoughts begin to stir in his heart. But when he reaches into his pocket, he finds that the spot where he used to keep a weapon has somehow been filled with candy. His next-door neighbor and nemesis from the book is behind it!
Si Le thinks that a nemesis really is the most annoying creature in the world!
Especially one with memories of two lifetimes who knows exactly what he likes.

Xiang Xun's life went smoothly until he crossed paths with Si Le, his nemesis in his previous life:
a genius scientist so brilliant he seemed almost inhuman, sharp as a blade, whose repeated crimes threw the whole world into turmoil.
The thing he regretted most in his life was giving up the chance to die alongside his nemesis.
Given another chance, he decides to make up for that regret.
But how did his heinous, ruthless nemesis turn into a pitiful kid with trouble following him everywhere?
A man with a strong sense of morality and principles, he has no choice but to abandon his plan and try to raise his young nemesis into a law-abiding citizen.
And so,
when his nemesis gets caught up in a police case, he rushes out in the middle of the night to bail him out;
when his nemesis shows the first signs of turning evil, he seizes the moment to feed him candy;
when his nemesis refuses to leave the house, he drags him out to watch patriotic films...
Xiang Xun gets better and better at raising a kid, and feels that the pure hatred between them has grown into the familial affection of two people who spend every day together.
Then that night, he dreams that his grown-up nemesis takes the initiative and kisses him.
Their breaths mingle, and the air fills with the heady scent of red wine...
He wakes up in a fright.
C-Can feelings between nemeses change into something else?
