Has the Silly Beauty Gotten Her Way Today?

At first, Chu Linxi thought he had died an especially unfair death.

He had been kidnapped as a child, and just when he finally made it home as an adult, his older brother mocked him, his mother ignored him, and his whole family ganged up to ostracize him. His last memory before dying was his eldest brother screaming at him in a rage.

Fine. He'd remember that.

After death, his soul drifted around aimlessly until, somehow, it got attached to Ye Weizhen.

Ye Weizhen was a lofty, untouchable beauty, and a close friend of Chu Linxi's own King Yama of a brother. When Chu Linxi was alive, he had been a little afraid of him.

Now that he was dead, he wasn't afraid at all. In fact, he spent every day perched on the man's desk, shamelessly admiring the handsome guy.

“Why is your nose higher than this young master's?”

“Be my husband in your next life!”

“Honey, could you burn some paper money for me? Why haven't I been reincarnated yet?”

Maybe Ye Weizhen really did burn money for him. In any case, Chu Linxi somehow ended up reborn!

On the first day after being reborn, Chu Linxi came up with the perfect revenge plan:

Step one: Find Ye Weizhen and make him his husband.

Step two: Get his husband to help him take revenge.

Step three: ...There didn't seem to be a third step.

The only flaw in the plan was that the husband he had picked wasn't cooperating.

The first time they met after Chu Linxi was reborn, he brought his last twenty-three yuan and pedaled a shared bike all the way to block Ye Weizhen's path.

“Honey, what a coincidence! Buy me dinner?”

The next day, he showed up with a three-yuan breakfast.

“Honey, here's your soy milk. This young master bought it himself!”

On the third day, he came back with a free plastic bag.

“Honey, this young master drafted a marriage contract. Take a look?”

On the fourth day, he came empty-handed, eyes red, and stood at reception.

The receptionist was startled. “Young Master Chu, what's wrong?”

“Does your Mr. Ye have another wife?” Chu Linxi sniffled. “I saw him getting out of a car with a guy...”

“...That's Mr. Ye's cousin.”

“Oh.” Chu Linxi instantly smiled again. “Then his one and only wife can relax.”

The receptionist decided to keep quiet.

Ye Weizhen thought he was beyond saving. He hated clingy people like this, yet every time that little fool showed up at the company entrance, smiling as he called him “Honey,” his feet felt nailed to the ground. He couldn't move.

He shouldn't have been unable to move. He had met Chu Linxi a few times, and all he thought of him was as a not-very-bright young master who had been kidnapped and brought back. Nothing more.

When had things changed?

Was it the first time he heard him call him “Honey” before Chu Linxi was reborn? Or when he saw him perched on his desk, talking to himself?

Forget it. No point thinking about it. He wasn't going to fall in love, anyway.

Chu Linxi: Oh? Then who was the one begging me in tears to make things official?

Not long after, Chu Linxi's sworn enemy put on an art exhibition and invited Ye Weizhen. Chu Linxi charged over like a firecracker, making a loud fuss the whole way.

At the exhibition, a young artist struck up a conversation with him.

“Your eyes are beautiful.”

Chu Linxi blinked. “Thanks. Everything about this young master is beautiful.”

The artist smiled. “You're fun. Can I get your contact info?”

Chu Linxi was about to take out his phone when a hand reached from behind and grabbed his wrist.

Ye Weizhen stood behind him, face dark, his voice cold as ice. “No.”

The artist froze. “And you are?”

“His husband.” Ye Weizhen said, then dragged the smug Chu Linxi away.

“Hehe, Honey, I knew you still loved me.”

“Fool who did something wrong, don't speak.”

Chu Linxi didn't care what Ye Weizhen was denying this time. He'd gotten what he wanted today!

(Next book. Please add it to your wish list, dearest readers!)

Yu Shian was born knowing how to act.

After his mother died and his stepmother joined the family, the first skill he learned was crying. He cried just the right amount, looking so pitiful that his stepmother had nowhere to direct her anger and his father was too ashamed to say a word.

His stepbrother said he had mastered every trick in the book and could transform into a pure-hearted white lotus seventy-two different ways. What? Nonsense. He's clearly the poor little victim of a wealthy family.

Later, he had to enter an arranged marriage. His match was Lu Qiyuan of the wealthy Lu family, a man rumored to be gloomy, taciturn, and ruthless.

Yu Shian took a deep breath and decided to bring out the acting skills of a lifetime.

He would look pitiful and coy, his eyes brimming with tears. He would make that gloomy man think he was just a fragile little flower who needed protecting, and get through the marriage in peace.

On their wedding night, he clutched Lu Qiyuan's sleeve with red-rimmed eyes. “Honey, I... I'm scared.”

His voice trembled, his lashes quivered, and tears glistened in his eyes, just on the verge of falling.

Lu Qiyuan lowered his gaze to him and remained silent for a long time, long enough for Yu Shian to almost think his acting had failed.

Then Lu Qiyuan spoke, his voice low and icy. “Don't be afraid.”

Yu Shian applauded himself inwardly. He threw himself even more into the role, acting so wholeheartedly he forgot to eat or sleep. But as time went by, something felt off.

Lu Qiyuan remembered all his little habits, prepared sweet surprises for him, and stood firmly by his side without hesitation.

Yu Shian began to panic. Oh no, he seemed to be falling for him.

Yu Shian locked himself in the bathroom and berated himself for half an hour, then decided to go tell Lu Qiyuan the truth.

But when he reached the door, he heard Lu Qiyuan on the phone.

“Who said he's my white moonlight? I only met him once when we were kids.”

Yu Shian's heart shattered with a crack. While Lu Qiyuan was away on a business trip for a week, Yu Shian packed his bags and ran away from home.

Tears soaked his lashes as he vowed never to be a lovesick fool again!

When Lu Qiyuan got home, he found an empty bedroom. His wife had left a note saying their relationship was over and run off.

The first day his wife was gone, Lu Qiyuan pretended not to care.

The second day, he began to panic and couldn't eat or sleep.

The third day, Lu Qiyuan heard his assistant say Yu Shian was in the hospital, apparently after attempting suicide.

Lu Qiyuan could no longer sit still. He rushed to the hospital and began his desperate pursuit to win his wife back. “If you're hurting, stab me. Just don't do anything foolish.”

Yu Shian: Foolish? Me? I just took a tumble and broke my hand!

Bonus Scene:

After they got together, Yu Shian's acting bug struck again. He said he wanted to keep playing the pitiful one-sided lover.

Lu Qiyuan didn't understand, but he went along with it.

Until the day they attended a banquet and Yu Shian's rival mocked him. “I suggest you get divorced soon. Don't hold Mr. Lu back.”

Yu Shian blinked, called Lu Qiyuan over, and said in a wounded voice, “Honey, they're all telling you to divorce me...”

“Which blind idiot said that?” Lu Qiyuan pulled Yu Shian into his arms. “I worked so hard to win my wife back. Who gave you the nerve?”

Yu Shian stifled a laugh and buried his face in Lu Qiyuan's chest, his shoulders shaking.

Lu Qiyuan lowered his head and whispered in his ear, “Done acting?”

“What if I want to keep acting?” Yu Shian smiled brightly.

“Fine.” Lu Qiyuan put an arm around his waist and turned to leave, abandoning a roomful of stunned guests. “Act however you like. I'll play along.”
